Gov. Fletcher has requested Alex
lnder Dunnett to bring suit against
he state of New Hampshire by the
state of Vermont to establish to
boundary line of the Connecticut
liver between the two states. Mr.
Ounnett will at once notify the at
orney general of New Hampshi G
Of his proposed action and then go
o Washington to enter a motion be-
ore the United States supreme court
or suit in equity. The supreme
-ourt will hear the motion for a trial
md later arrange for hearing it,
This suit is the result of the fail
u. of the commissions from the
wo states to agree upon establish

remembered that Mr.. Dunnett was
he chairman of the commission from
his state, the others being Congress
man-elect Porter H. Dale and f. H
3abbitt of Bellows Falls. The Law

WHAT FLORIDA WILL BE
LIKE TWENTY YEARS HENCE

like to think what Florida will
look like twenty years from now.
Instead of the sand roads leading
mile after mile through wastes of
forest | can see in minds eyes hard
surfaced boulevards, over which ma
chine or carriage runs smoothly, op-
ening up new vistas of beauty at ev-
cry turn of the wheel. Instead of
barren stretches with an occasional
grove or garden we will see one cul
tivated place after another; all with
neatly painted houses and outbuild-
ings, the lawns in front and flowers
climbing over porches and trellises.
, The old-timer cared little for flow
ers, the newcomer will revel in
them, and, oh! there are so many
beautiful kinds THAI any home can
be made to look like the halfway
house to the Promised Land. can
see neat fences that do not need to
be hog and stock tight, for in that
glad time there will be no roaming
razor back or long-horned cow. I
can see even the small towns with
nicely paved streets, good stores, and
alongside the railroad tracks will be
up-tothe minute packing houses for
fruits and vegetables. Every center
will have it's syrup mill. In some
sections there will be extensive
stockyards, for Florida is going to
be great stock country. Some sec
tions will be poultry centers, for no.
where can poultry be raised as in
Florida Other parts will have su-
gar mills, and sugar will be one of
the leading industries. Our cities
will be we'll paved, we'll lighted and
prosperous, our beaches will be
famed the country over, and Florida
will be the land Of delight for the
resident and for those more or less
fortunate people who have business
in other parts of the country that
| they cannot leave, but who will
come here for rest, recreation and
recuperation, and we can rest as
