management of the great adver-
tising project, the Florida Boost
er's Special have just completed
the itinerary for the trip and it is
quite an interesting one. The
stops enroute will be as follows:
Triton, Atlanta, Knoxville, Gin
cinnati, Eaton, New Castle, Koko-
mo, Logansport, and Chicago.
Returning stops will be made at
Momence, Hoopestown, Danvllle,
Sullivan, St. Louis, Carbondale,
Cairo, Martin, Nashville, Bir-
mingham, Montgomery, Troy
and jacksonville. This will give
the representatives on board a
fine opportunity to get in some ad-
vertising.
The movement has reached the
stage now where the people who
are interested in Florida and its
development should aid in ma
terial way to make this a success.
The aid needed is in applying for
reservation, as it is the object of
the originator to have all sections
represented and to this end it
necessitates having application
from at least one person in each
place. The patriotism imbned in
this project should meet with the
approval of all our people as the
information given out on the
route of this special will be Of
fetal and it will bring to our
state thousands of people who de-
sire a warmer climate and to set
tie where they will be free from
floods, drouth and snow.
e.
Those who are residents of this
state know Of the large area Of un-
developed lands in it's midst and the
p eople to deyelope these are the
sturdy westerners. We want to
encourage migration and to settle
up and develope the great unset
tied portions of our state and it is
TO scatter abroad in its path the in
vitation to all to come, that the
Florida Boosters Special will wend
its way to the great west. The
applications for reservation are
coming in rapidly but the manage
ment want all sections to be in
line. The endorsement of the
Governor esF Florida. the state
press, and the business interests
denote the character Of the move
ment and it should meet with the
approval of all our people from
one end of the state to the other.

WILL RESPECT THE LAW
True Sporsmen Should be Pleased
With Protective Measures

The true sportsman will rejoice
at the reading of the new fish and
game law of Florida. The days
upon which game may be taken
are limited by the law, and the
amount a hunter can shoot is cut
down, but this will delight the
true sportsman.
The man who loves real sport in
the hunting line is not the one
who would go out and kill all Of
the game in the country or kill
the parent birds, thereby causing
the death of the young. On the
other hand, the nimrod who loves
the sport of kings always backs up
legislation which tends to protect
game.
He realizes that if he is to enjoy
his favorite sport for any length
of time he will have to see to it
that it is preserved. He knows
that he cannot kill all of the birds
today and have some left to shoot
at tomorrow. For this reason the
hunters of the State and those who
comehere every winter to enjoy
the climate will be kindly dispos-
ed towards the men who framed
and enacted the present laws.
A State game warden has been
named under the new law, and he
has the power, in conjunction with
the Governor, to name deputy
wardens for every county in the
State. This will mean that the
fish and game will be amply pro-
tected.
All true sportsmen will assist in
the enforcement of this law. All
others should be prosecuted if
they do not assist in this work.
This will insure good sport in
Florida for all time; but if the
law is not enforced it will do no
good. Ii the hunters are per-
mitted to shay the wild game in
this state in the future, MS they
have been in the past, the day of
the hunter will soon be over here.
The passage of this law is a pro-
gressive step. All States have
game laws and all enforce them.
Florida now is on par with the
best of the sisterhood of States
and should remain there by prose-
cutting all who disregard the ef-
forts now being made to pre-
serve the birds, fishes and wild
animals of the forests and fields

UNDERGROUND WATERS
An Instructive Bulletin that can be
Had Without Cost

Owing to the sparsely settled
state of Florida farming sections
we are not vitality interested in
this matter, although it is worth
while to secure the information
contained in the circular, and we
might find a condition confronting
us at somc time where it would be
of excellent use. The United
States Geological Survey Office
has the following to say:
Underground Waters for Farm
Use," popular report of the
United States Geological Sarve,
has again been reprinted to meet
the wide demand from all farming
and suburban sections of the
country, A copy can be now OBJ
tanned free on application to the
director, United States Geological
Survey, Washington, D. g.
This Water Supply Paper (No
255) explains in simple language
the habits of flow of underground
waters-through different kinds Of
rocks and soils, and calls attention
to the dangerous character of
many wells whose waters are sup
posed to be pure and wholesome.
Water from limestone rock es-
pecialiy, it is stated, is apt to con
tain germs of typhoid or other dis
ease, due to the fact that surfcce
waters may find their way direct
ly into the underground channels
which have been cut out through
the dissolution of the lime.
Methods of protection from
subsurface drainage in farming
districts are discussed in the re-
port, we'll drilled methods and
cost, types of curbs and well cas-
ings with which wells should be
fitted, etc. The report embraces
only about 80 pages, but it is well
illustrated with photographs and
diagrams. Kissimmee Journal.

Ancient Book on Florida

Bertram, botanist Of PhiIadel-
phia, who describes trip up the
st. Johns river from st. Angus
tine.
The hook is entitled 'sBer-
trans East Florida" and is in-
scribed "To the most Honorable
Charles, Marquis Of Rockingham,
First Lord of the Treasury" the
treasury department of England
having furnished the funds for
the trip, that country being anx-
ious to ascertain the value of its
new possession, only recently Sc
cured from Spain. According to
| Weather Forecaster Wurtz, the
books figures on meteroIogy are
surprisingly accurate, when it is
considered that the writer spent
only short time in EAST Flori-
da." Statements about the an
nual rainfall are shown to be COR
rect by present records.
According to the book "East
Florida is described as land Of
great agricultural resources and
in which the soil was particularly
adapted to the culture Of silk, sug-
ar, indigo, corn, hemp, alligator
pears, oranges (of which there
were 10000 acres under cultiva-
tion), and rice, which, the state
ment was made on the authority
of South Carolinian, that Flori-
da was sitter for the growing Of
rice than Carolina" The writer
Of the book also stated that deer
were abundant, that the flesh of
hogs was better than grown in
any other sec tion, and there were
fewer insects, with the exception
Of the alligator, than in any other
part Of North America"
Bertram started on his trip in
December, 1855, and in january
of 1865 was in Florida when there
occurred the first serious cold
snap in the rememberance of the
oldest residents. He states that
the temperature fell to 26 de-
grees, that the ground was frozen
a foot thick and that lime trees
and other tender vegetation was
killed. As a general thing. the
book bore testimony, the climates
of Florida was such that the
Spaniards in st. Augustine had
"neither chimneys to the houses
nor glass windows"
In one respect the book conveys
an important bit of scientific in
formation. The writer states that
water hyacinth, the same kind so
prevalent now, grew in nearly all
of the rivers and streams, and
was SO thick in some places as to
effectually obstruct navigation.
This puts to rout the theory ad-
yanced in recent years that the
hyacinth was brought in from the
West Indian islands or some other
sections and is not native to Flori-
da.
Some portions of the book are
extremely amusing in the light of
present day knowledge. For in
stance, Bertram, in telling of his
visits to mineral springs, since
noted for the valuable qualities of
their waters, described the watess
as being exceedingly offensive
in cdonr and taste, like bilge wat
er or the washings of a gun bar

Agriculture will be the saliva
ton of the Seminole Indians of
Florida. This is the opinion of
Dean l.. A. Spncer, Indian CON-
missioner for the state, who spent
six weeks in the Everglades re-
Gently.
Dean Spencer flied his first re-
port with the Indian Department
at Washington on September 1,
but prior to its publication decin-
ed to state what that report con-
tanned or what he has recommended
to the government anent the Semi
noles and their care.
II can say tbis.much, however,"
said the Indian commissioner Sand
that is that the Indians must turn
to agriculture. With the settle
ment of the Everglades hunting
and trapping is about at an end
and their only alternative is the
farm. And | believe they will
make good farmers,
while On this last trip | visit
ed the experiment farm in the
Everglades about fifteen miles
south of Lake Okeechobee and
was agl eeably surprised 10. note
the progress being made. The
Indians are clearing the ground
and planting the crops and are
making ideal farmers. This leads
me to believe that they have in
them the making of good farmers.
Why they are clearing land there
that [ would not do at 800 an
acre.
The experiment farm contains
100 acres and the work is super.
vised by the missionaries at an
Episcopal mission there situated.
The land is high, has never been
overfowed and the dean said is
unusually rich. Varied crops are
being grown on it.
The custom of the Indian Office
has always been 10 give each In
dian an allotment of 100 acres but
Dean Spencer is Of the opinion
that this plan should not necessari-
ly govern in the case of Seminoles
of Florida because the land here is
much more'rich than the lands in
the northwest. Farming in Flori-
ida is much more intensified and
he is OF the opinion that 40 acres
of farming hand with possibly
some grazing land would be suf-
ficient. The government has sew
eral reservations in the state but
in the event it has not land enough
to provide each Of the SIC Indians
with farm it could buy more.
The Indian commissioners stated
that the government has receded
from its policy of Issuing rations
to Indians and as fast as treaties
expire new ones are made in which
the ration clause is eliminated.
"Therc is no incentive for the
Indian to work when he knows
that every ninety days he will re-
ceive from Uncle Sam three
months 'ration,' he said.
The Seminoles have never re-
ceived rations from the govern
ment, they have never surrendered
and, as the commissioner said, they
are technically a warning tribe.

through the big cypress swamp
with a ''six cylinder OK team" as
he expressed it. For many miles

The gossip OF the Street Is largely tc
the effect that the greater part OF the

prominent professional operators. who
turned around from the short side and
took the long side for turn. An ex-
tremely pessimistic interview on the gen.

timent.
Steel earnings are beginning to be
from slo.o0o.ooo to ss30oo.ooo. These are

lation the price of Steel would probably
