FLORlDA'S NEW GOVERNOR
Inauguarafed at the State Capital
With Impressive Ceremonies

The impressive ceremony of in
augurating new governor took
place in Tallahassee on Tuesday at
high noon, when Hon. Park Tram
NEIL was lnducted into Office.
Bunting displayed in various
parts of the city, and the presence
of many notable figures in state
politics, as well as other incidents,
marked the occasion.
In handing over the mantle of
the states chief executive, Cover
nor Gilchrist delivered speech
summarizing the various things
accomplished during his admins
tratiOn.
Governor Trammell, in his ad-
dress, touched upon various mat
ters that are now demanding more
or less consideration by the people
of the state, and he gave assur-
ance that he fully appreciates the
honor bestowed upon him in his
election to and induction into the
highest office within the gift OF
the voters of Florida.
Mrs. Trammell took charge of
the governors mansion as the
first lady of Florida, and will be
hostess at Il number of social af-
fairs already arranged for. The
inaugural ball was one of the most
brilliant affairs that has ever
taken place in the capital city.

Value of Orange Blossoms

Orange blossoms, hitherto used
principally to adorn, are now to
serve a new and more practical
purpose. The recent discovery in
New York that their essence may
be abvantageously used to lessen
the danger of surgical operations,
has caused much comment in med
ical circles in Jacksonville.
Vaporized orange essence, the
odor of which is ten times as
strong as that of ether, will be
used to deodorize the anesthetic
and to dull SO that ether may be
subsequently introduced without
the patient being aware of it.

the civil war.
John Milton, grandfather of
William HI. Milton, who was a
candidate for governor in the late
primaries, was Floridas s"war gov

upon him to such an extent that
it hastened his death, the same as
the act of secession is said to have
so preyed upon Governor Call
that he actually died of broken
heart.
Abraham X. Allison who was
president of the senate, succeeded
Governor Milton in the executive

1t is said that the road bed OF

be practically rebuilt within the
coming two years. New and bet

number of cars will be provided,
and the depots and terminals all

freight traffic.
President Harahan and his corps
of officials have made repeated
visits to Florida. They have gone
over every mile of the track be-
longing to the road, and have their
eyes on additional trackage and
connections which they have deter

There is a big boom on in the

Florida will be material gamer

ing himself in the Sunny South,

important, however, is it that the
patient comes out of. the stupor
without the nausea usually exper-
fenced when ether is administered
alone.
1t has been found that laughing
gas or nitrous oxide, which is en-
ployed in many cases where the
patients constitution is not in a
condition to withstand ether, does
not require the use of orange es-
sence, simply because 1T has
scarcely any odor and its effects
are mild. However, nitrous oxide
is very rarely used, because it
lacks strength and is very costly,
where ether and orange essence
together are comparatively cheap
and more productive of results.
Ether itself cannot be done away
with. 1t is, according to surgeons,
the one great basic anesthetic, and

West Coast Bird Reserves

Returning to Tampa last night
in his yacht, Charles Willis Ward,
millionaire owner of The Illustrat-
ell Outdoor World, brought word
that Sanibel island, and, in all
probability several other keys in
the mouth of Charlotte Harbor
will become state bird reservations
soon.
Residents of Sanibel are very
anxious to have their island de-
clared state game reservation
and will ask the legislature to do
this at the next session, empower
ing every resident of the island to
act as a game warden with power
to enforce violations of the law.
Such an act on the part of the
legislature would mean that the
wild birds which once formed SO
important feature of life in
Florida would begin to return to
the state to nest and rear their
young as they did in the early
days.
"What this would mean to the
state in the way of advertising it
is hard to compute . said Mr..
Ward today in the cabin of his
cosy yacht at the Tampa Bay
dock.
Hundreds of visitors would be
attracted to the wild bird life and
it would bring a great deal of
money into the state to look at
the material side of it alone. y
Mr.. Ward says that residents of
other islands near Sanibel are
anxious to have their lands in
cluded with Sanibel i'm the game
preserve and that it is possible the
reserve will extend from Bocal
Grande to Sanibel Light. He
hopes that this may be done.
There is also possibility of the
banks of the Caloosahatchee being
made bird reserve. This project
has not yet taken definite form
but the residents of the river val
ley appreciating the advertising it
would give their section we're such
rare birds as the fiamingo and 9TH
ers to be seen again along the riv-
er, are talking of asking to have
the river valley set apart as a re-
serve.
1T is not generally known
said Mr.. Ward, "but it is fact
that the government maintains
more bird reserves in this state
than In any other state or terri
tory except Alaska. There are
ten reserves in the state and If the
state will cooperate with the gov
ernment there is great chance
for improvements.
Charlotte Harbor now has FIVE
island reserves and as you know
there are two in Tampa bay, Indl-
an Key and Passage Key. There
are about 100 acres of land in bird
reserves in Tampa bay"
''The birds are taking wonder
ful advantage of them, too. 1t is
not long before the two keys in
Tampa bay viii be overcrowded
and the birds will be nesting on
other keys in the locality. Tam

otuUT VI lOTIuu. I1c WAS ucI
first governor after she was adj
mitted into the Union, which event
occurred March 3, 1S45.
Andrew Jackson was the first
territorial governor. He served
from JaIy, 1921, to June, 1922.
The seat of government was at
Pensacola. Because "Old Hick-
ory" was its first governor and
had the seat of government in
west Florida with the whole state
to select from, some of the state
divisionists if successful want to
call the new state in honor of that
sterling old democrat.
Governor jackson as territorial
governor was succeeded by Will
liam P. Duval, who held the Office
from 1922 to 1884. John W..
Eaton was governor from 1884 to
1885. Richard K. Call from 1885
to 1889. Robert Raymond Reid
from 1S4O to 1874, and John
Branch from 1874 to 1845.
The territorial governors were
appointed more for their fitness
and personal preferences than for
their political activity.
William ID. Mosely, the first
governor after the state was ad-
mitted to statehood was a demo-
crat.
Governor Mosely was succeed
ed by Thomas Brown, who was a
whig, so it will be seen that the
state was very nearly evenly bal
anced between the then two par
ties.
David L. Yulee and James D..
Westcolt were the first United
States senator's and both were
democrats. The latter never re-
turned to Florida after he was
elected and died in Canada soon
after the civil war. His remains
were brought back to Florida by
lis son Chief Justice james ID.

family burial ground at the capi-
tai.
L. G.. Cabell, of west Florida
was our first congressman. He
was Il democrat. His seat. was
contested 10y w. III. Broclen-
brough, whig, but Cabell retained
his seat. In 1S4S Cabell was elect
ed to congress over Ex-Governor
Duval and again in 1850 over John
Beard, grandfather of the present
John 5. Beard. In the same year
jackson Morton was elected t.
the senate, the legislature being
democratic bya bare margin.
In 1852 Judge A. E. Maxwell,
a citizen of Pensacola, was elected
to congress as a democrat. He
was reelected in 1854, and again
in 1855. In 1858 George S. Haw.
kins was elected TO congress and
was succeeded by Robert B. Hill.
