WILL BUILD MODEL
CITY IN FLORIDA
Will Be Located at Atlantic
Beach, JacksOnville's
Seaside Resort

The industrial development of the great
southeast is progressing at rate that
excites the wonder even of those who are
section or state. Everywhere new en-
terprises are being made tangible in brick
and stone and concrete or in the clearing
of great areas for agriculture. Develop
ments not long ago considered impossible
are springing into existence and are taken
as a matter of course and in keeping
with the spirit of these progressive times.
The Transforming of a stretch of sand
and hammock into a beautiful city, con-
trolled from the beginning by far-sighted
men of energy. backed by ample capital,
a city fitted from its start with all the
demands of modern metropolitan life, is
an enterprise already under way in
Florida. The location centers about the
Continental hotel at Atlantic Beach.
Jaeksonvilles famous seaside resort. The
hotel has been purchased with the thou
sands of acres surrounding It, and here
is arising in the once bleak forest and
along the ocean beach new city by the
sea- whose progress as an industrial de-
velopment will be interesting as the
greatest exclusive home building proposi-
ton ever undertaken in the south.
Plans have been formulated and a be-
ginning has been made for the building
here of a new city, and the development
of this section involves an area of about
seven square miles almost as large as
that included within the present city linn
its of Jacksonville. Ample capital is
available and men of experience are di-
recting the work Nearly 200 laborers
have been changing the thick jungle
back of the hotel into a park-like ex-
panse. The erection of score of tasty
bungalows and residences has been be-
gun. More are to be started as soon as
the supply of building materials can be
turned into steady stream of loaded
| cars bound backward, and a sufficient
force of carpenters and masons can be
assembled TO handle it, Within a month
so such houses will be under way and
will be pushed to completion during the
summer And they are to be followed
by another so. according to the promise
of the contractor who has them in charge.
A postoffice, for which application has
already been made. garages and auto
mobile repair shops, stores and all the
comforts and conveniences demanded by
the residents of a modern, well regulated
city, are TO be installed.
For more than "A year, almost two
years, the idea of building a city here
has been studied out and the plans per
fected. AS they were unfolded in the
mind of a far-seeing man, the attractive
ness of the proposition and its feasibility
became more impressive. The result was
the organization of strong company the
Atlantic Beach Corporation, few months
ago, with an authorized capital of 800, 900.
Very soon this sum, although large, was
found to be entirely too modest, and it
is to be increased to 81 100000 as soon as
the legal formalitieS can be complied

Washington, May 3.-(Special.) )-Demo-

ate by an exceedingly narrow margin has
opened wide the door of opportunity to
the new members in the Senate of that

Conditions which have heretofore OBJ

They have reached the Senate at the
psychological moment. Their party has
just come into full control of all the
governmental machinery, legislative and
executive. Their party is about to dc
a number of highly important things, the
most notable being the enactment of a
new tariff law. And their party needs
every one of their votes in order to be
assured that it can do what the new
administration wants done.
All of which explains that nothing has
been heard from Washington about "baby
senator's" All the new senators are full
grows, mans size, and all Of them have
stepped at once into complete enjoyment
of all senatorial prerogatives.
Times Have Changed
In years post, when traditions and
presidents were fetiches to be reverenced
and Observed new senators were supposed
to sit back. look on and listen, and they
were expected to vote as their respective
party leaders voted. After three or -four
years of this modest self effacement
they were permitted to have something
to say in the proceedings of the body to
which they belonged, and by the time
they we're ready for retirement, or had
won reelection, they began to be real
factors in the Senate.
But times have changed This is an era

traditions to the ash barrel. The new SEN

sioners will have a very important
duty to perform. Every tract of land
must be surveyed and examined as
to it's value and they will have author
ity to purchase any logged-of land
from any owner paying a maximum
price of $40 per acre. Should, how
ever, the owner refuse to sell at this
price, he is to be reported to the as
SCISSOR who will probably assess the
land at $40 per acre.
Another provision of the law gives
the owner authority to clear up his
own land to be paid for out of the sale
of the bonds. However, bids are to
be called for, the owner of the land
to be cleared has the first right to
take the contract, provided he agrees
to take it at the price of the lowest
ed study of this law, we are inclined
to think it is ideal for small contign-
Gus districts where the owners desire
70 clear the entire body of land, bond
ing the same for it's improvement, but
it does not seem to us that it is suit
able for an entire county or for de-
tatched bodies of land to attempt to
work under a single district. How
ever we may be wrong in this and we
would be pleased to see method that
would assist owners of logged-oH
lands to improve their property. 1t
is a question that should have the
closest study by the voter before he
either condemns or approves it.

BOOSTING ALFALFA CULTURE.

Prof. P. G. Holden, perhaps the
greatest alfalfa expert in the world,
is now in Eastern Washington, where
a special train has been provided to
travel over the country, starting from
Spokane, to teach the growing of al
falfa. Prof. Holden is sent to this
state at the expense of the Interna-
tional Harvester Co., under a big
salary to teach farmers the best meth
DDS of growing that greatest of forage
crops. In this great work the rail
roads are assisting in every way pos
sible. On the oath of September a
parade of some 200 autos left Spokane
to start Prof. Holden in his work.
Prof. Holden proposed to give over
100 lectures at the different points of
the state. It is the hope of Prof.
Holden and his hackers, the best men
of Eastern Washington, that the grow
ing of alfalfa can be made successful
on the wheat fields which are wearing
out and are becoming invested with
noxious weeds. They all realize
that something must be done in the
near future or the formerly rich
wheat lands of that country will be-
come so unproductiva as to be almost
valueless. Alfalfa growing will change
this. Where alfalfa grows live stock
can be made profitable and it is be-
Iieved and hoped that with proper
methods these former wheat fields
will become great live stock centers.
The entire state has a great interest
in the result.
Few men in history have done so
much good for the farming community
as Prof. Holden, who was for many
years the most prominent agricultur-
ist of the great Ames College, OF Iowa.
The work he did to improve and ad-
vance corn growing has been worth
millions of dollars to Iowa farmers.

THE LOGGED OFF LAND QUESTION.

One of the most important questions
before the voters Of King county is
the logged off land proposition which
will be voted on at the annual cleo
ton, December 6 h. During the last
meeting Of the legislature several log
ged-off land measures were introduced
with more or less merit. Representa-
tive Murphine, of this county, finally
consolidated them into one bill which
became a law.
Under the provisions of this law,
districts can be formed, large or small,
and 20 year bonds sold for their i'm
provement; one half of the land must
be reserved for a basis of the mort
gage and the other one-half impr we'd
by the sale of bonds for the owner
Districts may include an entire coun-
ty and that is what is proposed in
King county.
The entire county is probably in
cluded t. make it easier to sell the
bonds, but this would seem to be a
fatal objection, espec ally in King
county, which is already so heavily
bonded. If the land improved, itself,
is held for the bonds this objects on
would not apply, but this question
does not seem clear.
The question of the formation Of a
county improvement district must be
voted on December 9Th, and at the
same time three commissi must
be elected to carry out the provisions
of the law. These must serve without
pay. This would seem to be a serious
defect of the law also. If men worthy
of assuming these responsibilities are
elected they cannot afford to serve
without pay. Should this measure
be carried by the voters, the commits
