MUCH LAND OPEN
FOR SETTLEMENT
Various Land Companies Now Oper-
ating in Isle of Pines, Surveying,
Building Bridges, Etc.
Lands Already Settled Sell for From
$50 to SIS Per Acre-100 Acre
Tracts at $25 Per Acre.

After having a view of the cult
waited portion of the Isle of Pines the
next thing in order seemed to be a
visit to that portion still open for set
Element. This trip was made with a
party of surveyors who are laying OUT
tht roads, locating the bridges and
surveying the Ell Hospital tract, a
portion of which is soon to be placed
on the market.
Bear in mind that the Isle of Pines
is in some respects in the same con-
dition today that Crawford county was
in the seventies and eighties, that is
the land has passed from the hands of
the first owners, the Indians in Craw-
ford county and the Spaniards in the
Isle of Pines, and is now in the hands
of various land companies. 1t is the
business of these companies to open
up the land. build bridges, lay out
roads and induce the actual settlers
to locate.
we "clS dSnCu, why wv NV lAC
land companies cultivate these lands
themselves? Why did not the Provi-
dence Western Land company farm
Crawford county? 1t would have TAX
en- more capital than they possessed,
required more individual effort than
they were prepared to give, and if
this had been made one vast farm
titled by employees there would have
been no permanent prosperity. The
are pursuing exactly the same meth
DDS as the Iowa land companies used.
That is they are selling portion of
their land, some to spectators, who
in turn become emigrant agents on
small scale, but preferably to actual
settlers who will improve the land
they buy. The progressive land COM
pany figure that it can afford to sell
some land cheap because the settle
ment which fellows will more than
double the price of their remaining
holdings.
The surveying party which we
joined consisted of the owner of the
tract and his good man Friday, Mr..
Brinckley, a surveyor who has lived
in the tropics nearly all his life, but
who still was able to tell us that the
worst mosquitoes he ever fought were
north of the Arctic circle. And speak
ing of mosquitoes, there are some on
the Isle of Pines, they were worse at
New Orleans, and if you want to
know about the real thing in the
mosquito line, ask the Daniels boys
or others who have summered in the
Canadian northwest. All climes look
alike to the mosquitoes, they draw no
color line as to their victims and are
as democratic in their proclivities as
William Jennings Bryan says he is.
They are not so bad in the Isle of
Pines as in other places as far south,
because the fine drainage prevents
there being any standing water.

The remainder of the surveying

The remainder of the surveying
party Ito get back from our mosquito
bite consisted of four Cuban work
men; they were good natured look.
ing fellows when you took good
square look at them, but at a little
distance they looked Warlike, for each
one wore at his side one of the fierce,
heavy swords, the machets, which
made Cuba faithful. This weapon,
which was the prime factor in the
Cuban war for independence, is also
the Cuban's most tried and trusty ag-
ricultural friend. You never see a
Cuban workman without one. With
it the Cuban clears the trail, cuts
wood, prunes trees, cuts grass, digs,
chops, hammers, we had almost said,
plows.
The automobile took us quickly to
the tract, some five miles south of
Santa Fee, the wig-waggers got busy
and our company of infantry advanced
with flashing swords, cutting the un-
derbrush and the small palm trees
and blazing the way for the civiliza-
ton that is to come. By fall the line
we traversed will be occupied by a
fine, we'll graveled, we'll drained auto
mobile road with cement bridges and
culverts and the way for settlement
will be open. Within a year, judging
from other similar settlements, men
will be busy clearing and blowing and
planting, there will be little store
and hotel at the townsite and men
from twenty states in the north will
be going there to uperintend their
ncipient groves and to plan the
bungalows which will cluster along
the road.
1t was real pioneering and we en-
joyed it. We enjoyed the lunch eaten
under the shade of the pines, we even
enjoyed getting lost for a couple of
hours. In some way two of us got
out of sight and hearing of the sur
veying party. One would think it
easy to pick up the newly blazed trail,
but we were busy talking when we
crossed it and it was not until we
wandered about for while, plunged
through the thicket, waded, barefoot,
through a pretty little river and wan
dered about some more that we came
upon the trail; then we approached
with a very nonchalant air and never
said a word about having lost the
way.
This Eel Hospital tract was as pref
ty land as we saw on the isle, rolling,
we'll drained, good soil and flourish
ing vegetation. After seeing the set
Elements at San Pedro, Santa Bar
bara and elsewhere it was easy to pic
ture the garden spot which this tract
will become in the course of a few
years. Lands where settlement has al
ready been made can be had for $50,
$65, SIS per acre and upwards, but a
part of this tract is to be sold in 100
acre lots for $25 per acre and this in
cludes two lots in the new townsite.
My folks are so interested that we are
going to club in and buy 100 acre
tract with the idea of some day get
ting away from the cold and frost and
passing the remainder of our lives in
this near paradise.
On another day a party, as guests
of a Mr.. Schultz, who has been instru-
mental in founding a section of Santa
Fee they call Germantown, went to
Mount Isebel. This is a pretty, tree
clad miniature mountain, noted for
the great cave which is source of
profit on account of the quantities of
bat guano which it contains. A Cuban

Des Moines, Iowa, April 1, 1908.
l hereby wish to publicly express
my appreciation and sincere thanks
to DR.. Weber for his marvellous cure
of my eyes. My eyes began to trouble
me about six months ago. l did not
pay any attention to them at first,
not thinking anything serious was
the matter My sight gradually be-
came more dim every day, and almost
before l realized it everything was
cloudy and appeared blurred, and
then l knew blindness was coming
upon me. l could not recognize peo-
pie only by their walk and voice. |
could not see ordinary print at all
and could no longer attend to bust
ness as a pharmacist.
Something must be done. l was
personally acquainted with DR..
Weber and had known of his reputa
ton and skill for years. Hit made a
thorough examination of the inside of
my eye and found l had the much
dreaded optic nerve disease. Under
ordinary methods of treatment this
disease is considered incurabel, but
l started treatment with DR.. Weber's
new method and my sight gradually
returned so that in a few months
time l was again enabled TO resume
my duty as pharmacist, and l am
thankful to say that DR.. Weber re-
stored my sight and am able to see
perfectly we'll. l can recommend Dr..
Weber to all having eye trouble.
Very truly yours,
Bert Steiner.

CURE FOR INDUSTRIAL EVILS
When Time and Labor Unnecessarily
Consumed In Transporting Prod
ucts There is Bio Waste.

II the public could be convinced
that it is economy to begin with
fundamentals the problem Of progress
in every line of social endeavor would
be solved.
At, present the sole remedy for
many Industrial evils lies in the bet
terment of roads.
Manifestly, when time is unneces-
sarily consumed and labor wasted in
transportation of products to market
there Is a fundamental waste One
instance will serve as an illustration.
A man loaded his wagon early one
morning with bale of cotton and a
few bags of the loose product He
lived twenty-five miles from town.
The roads in that section are better
than the average, but it took him un-
til nightfall to reach the selling point.
He and his half-grown son, who ac-
companied him, spent the night in
town, paying the expense of lodging.
meals and keep for the team. The
second day was spent in negotiations
for the sale of the cotton and the pur-
chasing of a few necessaries. They
arrived on the third day late in the
afternoon. having lost practically
three days.
That farm was mortgaged. Every
thing made from year to year was
paid out in interest and for poor liv
ing for the family. There was not

tening on the peoples money, says
the Southern Good Roads. In his
message he paid this great tribute to
good roads:
I'VE know that good roads. like good
streets. make habitation along them
most desirable: they enhance the
value of farm lands, facilitate trans
portation. and add untold wealth to
the producers and consumers Of the
country; they economize time, give
labor a lift and make millions in
money; they save wear and tear and
worry and waste: they beautify the
country and bring 1t In touch with
the city; they aid the social and re-
ligious and educational and Industrial
progress Of the people; they make
better homes and happier firesides;
they are the avenue of trade and the
agencies OF speedy communication:
they mean the economical transporta-
ton Of marketable products-tbe

cost: they are the ligaments that
bind the country together In thrift

prosperity OF our producing masses:
They contribute to the greatness OF
the city and the glory Of the country:
give employment to our idle work
men. distribute the necessaries Of

the forest and the factories--encour-
age energy and hpsbandry. inculcate
love for our scenic wonders. and

Washington news
By Edward Keating.

Washington, June 17-From time
to ,.me in these reports and on 'lhe
floor OF the House of Representa-
tives, have stated that there was
an agreement between the Sugar
Trust and the beet-sugar interests
by which the price Of refined sugar
was fixed in every state inI the I'm
ion. / have asserted that that
price was the trusts New York
New Orleans or San Francisco price
plus the freight to the poinS Of
consumption.
1 have charged that, because Of
this arrangement, the people Of Col
orado and other western states that
produce beet sugar were compelled
to pay mere for sugar made in their
own towns than the same sugar was
sold for 1000 or 1000 miles from the
point OF production.
When l first made this assertion
on the floor of the House the effect
on the champions of a TARIFF on sug-
ar was little short of amazing.

The trust on its part agreed not
to sell it's sugar for less than its
