Old Trails Boosted in Missouri

To show the interest that is being taken in the National Old Trails Road, we would call the attention of the peo- pie of Northern Arizona to the fact that at Arrow Rock, Salina County, Missouri, women have held meetings to boost along the good work of build- ing tho Old Trails road. The people of Missouri, Kansas and states to the east, are In earnest in the building of the old highway, and it is up to the people along northern Arizona and New Mexico to get busy and further them in the good work. Tho Daugh- ters of the American Revolution are working for this great roadway and their work is bound to tell. Northern counties of Arizona arc working on this highway in spots, but it is to be hoped that concerted action will soon be had The recent showing in of a big party of automobillsts in the White mountains must surely show the peo- pie of Albuquerque and those fayoring that route that it is suicide to route tourists over the dangerous passes be- tween November and May and cause them to put their shoulder to the wheel to make the Old Trails Road the one big highway across the conti' nent. We need the cooperation of the people of Bernalillo, Valencia and Me- Klnley counties, New Mexico, and Nava]o. Apache and Yavapai counties, Arizona, to bring about the desired results. Coconino county is with us and is getting big results. They know that travel will come both ways to the Grand Canyon and that the route across the country by way of Needles and Kingman is the only one that is practicable.

 Today the public interest focuses on the Everglades of Florida. This terri tory comprises tract about half the size of Massachusetts.I lies South and Southeast of Lake Okeechobee, in Southern Florida, and is part of the Florida grant made to the United States by Spain in 1919.
 So far as known, the tract always has been wet. Florida was admitted to the Union in 1S45 and, in December of that year, it's legislature, by resolu- tion, instructed it's Senators in Cong ress and requested it's representative to press upon Congress the propriety and policy of forthwith appointing en- gineers to examine and survey the Everglades region.
 In 1S47, Senator James D. Westcott, J., of Florida, requested the Secre- tary of the Treasury, the Hon. R. J. Walker, to have the lands examined. Shortly afterward the Secretary of the Treasury appointed MT. Buckingham Smith to make such investigation and report upon it The result was the famous Buckingham Smith report of 1S4S, which was published as a Sen ate document. This report, recently republished by the United States Sen ate, Document S9, was very favorable to the Everglades and their reclama- ton.
 In the same year the Legislature of Florida requested Congress to grant the Everglades to the State of Florida Ion condition that the State will drain them and apply the proceeds of the sale thereof, after defraying the ex- pense of draining, to purposes of edu- cation"
 Tn the same year,also, Senator West colt introduced bill into the Senate to authorize the draining of the Ever glades by the State of Florida, and to grant the land to the State for that purpose. This bill was, not passed, but, in 1850, Congress passed a gener- al swamp-lands act ito enable the State of Arkansas and other States to reclaim the Swamp Lands within their limits.'' By this act the Ever glades were granted by the United States to the State of Florida, with the following express provision: That the proceeds of said lands, whether from sale or by direct appropriation in kind, shall be applied, exclusively, as far as necessary, to the purpose of re- claiming said lands by means of the 1 1evees and drains aforesaid. ''
 Thirty-one years, however, passed before the State made a serious at tempt to drain these lands.
 On February 26, 1881, the Trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund, having charge of the States wet lands, into a contract with MT. Ham, ilton Disston, of Philadelphia, and oth- CTS, in which it was agreed that Disst- on and his associates would drain and at their own expense and charge, all the overffowed lands of the State of Florida lying south of Town

Just how much canalizing will be
 necessary? Here the doctors have
 slightly disagreed. Towards plan
 was that of "cut and try Lay out and cut a system of canals. If these
 do the work, well and good. If more
 are needed, cut more. As for funds,
 no serious problem arises. The State
 drainage is financed from two sources,
 first, an annual tax of five cents upon each acre benefited; second, the pro- ceeds of the sale of State lands.
 The present canals include the fol- lowing:
 1. On the west, one connecting pochee, with the Caloosahatchee, thus discharging Glade waters into the Gulf of Mexico. This canal has been open and navigated for two and half years
 2. On the southeast and east, a series emptying into the Atlantic They are: (a) The North New River or Middle Canal This connects the north branch of the New River, on which ,Ft. Lauderdale is situated, with Lake Okeechobee. This canal is cut through; (b) The Miami or South Canal This is to connect Miami with Lake Okechobee. About 60 per cent of the distance has been cut and the canal will probably be open by the end of 1912; (c) The South New River Canal, running east and west, to con- meet canals (a) and (b). About 50 per cent. of this has been cut; (d) The Hillsboro Canal. This lies north of New River Canal, and will connect l Hillsboro with the lake. About 80 per cent. of it's length has been cut; (e) the Palm Beach Canal. This has been determined upon by the State. It will connect Palm Beach i with the lake Work on it has not yet begun.
 The plan further includes several ! smaller canals, and scores of miles of r lateral ditches, good beginnings on which have been made.
 On the main canals the dredging company is operating nine dredges, lIlIl OOdIS, anu lHt llhe ulSHI dIu lay. It is bound by contract to have ts work finished by July 1, 1913, and S understood to be we'll along with it's schedule, 59.6 per cent. of the entire estimated yardage having been exca- yated on June 30, 1912.
 Lake Water Will Be Retained.
 The question is sometimes asked whether the drainage plan contempla- es the emptying of the lake The an wer is an emphatic No. The lake is n invaluable asset. Water, in gener- l, is an indispensable resource, and he water of Lake Okeechobee is, for everal reasons, peculiarly valuable.
 1. The lake is an inland sea, con- aiming vast numbers of excellent fish. :, is capable of bearing the vessels of :. uture commerce. In addition, it will /. undoubtedly become the center of ', ar-famed pleasure resort which the alm Beach of today faintly over hadows.
 2. The lake is an important factor l the modification of climate As rotection against frost, it's value is eyond estimate.
 3. The lake is the great reservoir

ship 23 and east of Peace Creek be- longing to the State of Florida or the Internal Improvement Fund MT. Disston worked on this drainage task for about eight years, draining certain elevated lands in the Kissimmee terri tory and cultivating them
 Why the Everglades Need Draining.
 A word as to the topography of the Everglades and the reasons why they are wet:
 Lake Okeechobee is the center of the problem. It may be compared to great tank on top of a gently slop- ing house roof. On the lower edge of the roof is an elevated rim. Let the tank be filled with water When more rain falls it will overflow, run down over the roof and be checked by the rim.
 Lake Okeechobee, covering about IL half-million acres, receives the waters from an area seven and a half times it's own size. The lake has no outlet. It fills in the rainy season and then overfiows, the water flowing over the great prairie. Before it reaches the ocean, however, it encounters the rock rim of coraline limestone. This re- tards the outflow of the water into the ocean. Through this rim the water has cut passage, but not enough to re- lease the entire volume of water until the next rainy season has arrived Then the lake overflows again. Thus the prairie between lake and ocean is always more or less wet
 It seems the drainage work was first attempted by the Spaniards. Then came the Disston enterprise, and then, early in the present century, the latest effort
 The State System of Canals.
 Everglades drainage is in charge of the State of Florida, through it's In- ternal Improvement Board Its plan is to connect Lake Okeechobee with Gulf and Ocean by canals. These are to lower the lake level from it's pres ent height of twenty and four tenths feet to sixteen feet. Thus a great drainage reservoir is to be created to
  plus the rainfall, emit it gradually through the canals to gulf and ocean and thus prevent the overflow.
 Under Governor w. S. Jennings G901-19O5) plans for this drainage work were laid. Under Governor N 1 B. Broward Q9O5-19O9) the actual began. Governor Brow ard asked the United States Depart nent of Agriculture for expert advice J. O. Wright of the Drainage Divis- on wes sent to examine and report on he tract, which he did. He mapped put a system of canals which, with slight notifications, is now being in- l. stalled. For the past two years, MT. Wright has been in the employ of the State as it's Chief Drainage Engineer. The dredging was first done by the State. Since July 1, 1910, it has been n the hands of the Furst-Clark Com )any of Baltimore

was a sight. 1t looked very unpleas-
ant, and it felt uncomfortable. My
face vas something awful; it just kept
me in agony all the time. Some said
1t was letter, and some said It was
that awful eczema, but I rather think
1t was letter. l had been troubled
with 1t for about two years and tried
many remedies, but got no relief until
I used Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
when I would wash my face with
the Cuticura Soap and apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment It would cool my skin
and draw great big drops of matter
out Of the skin. You would think l
was sweating; it would run down my
face just as though L had washed it.
It itched and smarted and I suffered
