as the great trade which the construction, financed out of his own purse, of the East Coast railroad system in Florida deyel- oped.
 A fairly good estimate can be obtained of the aggregate cost of Mir. Flagler's Florida railway system, but 1t would be difficult task to learn what, in dollars and cents, have been the increased wealth of Florida and the aggregate amount of new trade between Florida and other parts of the country which were direct re- | suits of MT. Flaglers venture. It would reach certainly high in the millions. No small part of Florida is now being brought under remunerative cultivation, and at this season of the year, particularly, the traffic offered to l the Flagler system by those who are cul- l tivating the soil of Florida Is of magni- tude so great as to surpass the capacity of the lines. Nearly all of this produc- l, tiveness followed the establishment of the Flagler system.

 The Double Tragedy As the late H. H. Rogers lived just long enough to take part in the celebration of the completion of his personally financed railroad from the Apa1acian mountains to l tidewater, so MT. Flagler was able to 1 take part, shortly before his death in the celebration which commemorated the com pletion of his system to Key West. He l however regarded this as the completion of only a part of his purposes. Realiz- ing that he was in advanced years, and in any event could not reasonably expect to be much longer in active association ] with his railroad operations, he prepared for the succession. The president who was first chosen after MT. Flaglers death, J. R. Parrott, died at the very time when | he was in readiness to complete the far reaching plans of MT Flagler. These included the building of such ocean-going | steamers as would make possible the transportation upon their decks of rail- road cars between Key West and Ha- was ready to carry on the work necessary | to complete the Kissimme Valley rail- road line
 The New President
 The death of President Parrott neces. sarily caused some delay in the work in Florida and this perhaps was especially
 embarrassing because Mir Flagler hoped
 to have the entire system completed and
 his railway ferry between Key West and | Havana in operation by the time of the
 opening of the Panama canal.
 When Mir. Flagler began the construc-
 ton of his Florida system he was per
 suaded that the time was not distant

By HOLLAND.

New York, April 2.-(Special)-How in timately the railroads of the United States are related to the prosperity of the peo- pie and to what extent railroad construc- tion and operation in new fields contribute both to local and national prosperity is sometimes illustrated by reference to the work with which the name of Henry M. Flagler will chiefly be associated.
 One of the last of the official acts of NIT. Flagler was the appending of his sig nature to certain contracts for the con struction of portions of the so-called Kis- simmee Valley extension. MT Flagler was compelled to substitute touch for sight, and in that way he slowly and yet firmly traced his eyesight, which became almost complete blindness, did not seriously af- feet his energy or his understanding of what was under way, He seemed to be able to visualize with his minds eye what had his eyesight been good he could act ually have seen.
 Mr. Flagler was confident when he un- dertook the construction of a railroad along the backbone of Florida, practically parellaling the west banks of the St. Johns river. and having the great lake, Okeechobee, in view as terminal, that after the railroad vas built trade would speedily follow the rails and within a few years would become relatively as large
