The one conspicuous railroad need
of Florida viii soon be remedied. The
contract has been let for a road con-
Meeting the east and west coasts be-
tween Miami and Fort Myers and
work on the road will soon COM

the right of way will be through vast

Engineers who have been over the
route say the idea that the road will
run mostly thru marshes in an error.
II such was the case, they wouldn't

be over good land, which the road will
open to settlers.

GAME IN GAINESVILLE
Athletics Against the University
Team Next Tuesday Afternoon

Gainesville Sun: The season of the
great American game, baseball, is
upon US, and Gainesville is fortunate
in that it has the university here and
thus is able to have as visitors the
banner team or rather the pennant
winners of the country. On Tuesday
next Connie Mack and his great team
of Athletics will be here, and the citi-
zens of Gainesville will have an op-
portunity of witnessing a game of
common old baseball played by men
who draw larger salaries than the
president of the United States. Sc
you can see what "big treat" is in
store for us all.
