Teal creek 90 feet high and 624 feet
long, beyond which through a deep cut

400 feet in length. This latter struc-

night, and it is expected that it will be
ready for traffic about tae middle of
September. The grading of the road
has been finished some four miles and a
half from Falls City, which will be the
temporary terminus of the line.
The company is now operating quite
extensively in the mountains west of

AN ALL.THE-YEAR
AROUND STATE

We recently quoted Governor Cox,
OF Ohio, in rebuttal of the testimony
OF a disgruntled visitor to the Tele-
gram office who thought Florida's
only asset was her winter climate.
Governor Cox has been recently
touring South Florida and we repro
huced a few general remarks he ex-
pressed while in Fort Myers, but he
talked more in detail while in Kis-'
simmee and from the Journal of that
city we take the following verbatim
report of what he said then, which
is the truth about our State discov-
cred by an intelligent observer. And
1t will be verified by every other
observer who has adequate mental
as well as physical eyes to see with.
Said Governor Cox:
The thing that impresses me
about Florida is its permanency. We
folks up north usually think of Flor
ida as lasting about four months in
the year, and we do not realize that
it is an all-year place. Com
ing down from Jacksonville yester-
day, as | gazed out over the some
what dreary landscape, | could not
help but think how wonderful it is
that nature has seen fit to produce
her sweetest fruits amid such sur
roundings. Judging from what
have learned of the country. | firm
ly believe that this great stretch of
territory will eventually be convert
ed into the garden tract of world.
This will have wholesome effect on
the entire country. Food prices will
be reduced, for fresh vegetables may
be secured at reasonable cost any
time of the year, AMI this will be
the source of them. Grazing, too, I
believe, has a great future in this
country for it is certainly the realm
Of opportunity and in time forage
plants will be discovered which will
be suitable to the conditions. Yes,
these things are certainly coming. F"
