Notice to the Sportsmen

At the last meeting of the
County Commissioners, | was ap-
pointed Game Warden for DeSoto
County, and / want to show my
appreciation of same by giving the
people of the county the very best
service possible, and ! earnestly
ask the cooperation of the law
abiding citizens of the county to
assist me in enforcing the game
laws. If | can get the assistance
that [ should get from the citizen
ship of the county, l feel sure we
can make the law effective and
give to the game the protection
that the law intended and that
the game should have.
Now is the time to protect the
game, while we have plenty, and
not when it is all gone, as has been
done in many other states. The
people are the law and if the peo-
pie are in favor of enforcing a

The town contains two subStan.
tial banks, an excellent telephone
system with connections all over
the neighboring counties; post
office, telegraph and express off
ces; several private boarding
houses, four hotels; plenty of
grocery, dry goods, drug and 9TH
er stores to supply all the de-
mandS of the trade; machine, wag-
on and boat shops; ice factory,
two bottling works, cigar factor
les, a livery stable, newspaper
and job printing office, bakeries
restaurants, a town hall; flourish
| ing lodges of Masons, Woodmen
of the World, Red Men and Mac
cabees, plant for making con-
crete building blocks; five law
yers, four physicians, one dentist,
a number of real estate men, etc.
The chief industry is fishing, in
which six wholesale firms with 300
or more men are engaged. Capt.
tai invested in the business is es-
timated at $150,000, and large
shipments of fish on ice are made
almost daily during the fishing
seasons. The bulk of the fish
shipped are mullet, but many
pompano, Spanish mackerel, bass,
trout, sheep-head, snapper and
other fine food fish are shipped.
The oyster business is small.
Next to fishing, the cultivation
of fancy pineapples engages most
attention, as the profits Of this
industry often reach $500 an acre.
1t requires about $500 to prop
erly prepare and plant an acre in
pineapples, but after this, 5000 a |

PUNTA GORDA

For the purpose of supplying
information such as is desired by
many people of other sections
who are interested in this locality
the following facts are given:
Punta Gorda is on the Charlotte
Harbor Division of the Atlantic
Coast Line r. r., 295 miles south
of Jacksonville, so miles east of
south from Tampa on the south
side of Charlotte Harbor, Is miles
from it's mouth, Boca Grande.
Its population by the federal cen
sus Iof 1910 was slightly in excess
oT1200, but this number has been
considerably increased by people
who have located here since the
census was taken, and the number
of people in the town now is vari-
ously estimated at from $500 to
1000. Of this population about
800 are black people.
There are Methodist, Presbyter-
ian, Episcopal and Baptist church
es with regular services for white
people, and Methodist and Baptist
churches for negroes. A public
school for white children, embrace
ing grammar and high school de-
partments, employs eleven teach
ers and has an enrolment Of sew
eral hundred pupils. The negroes
have good public school with
two teachers and an enrolment c'|
about forty pupils.
The taxation for city, county
and state purposes is not consider
ed excessive, and considering that
property heretofore has been as
sessed at about one-third its real
value there has been little occa-
sion for dissatisfaction from this
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1915-07-29

law it makes it easy for the officer
to enforce it, but if the citizens of
the county stand by and see the
law violated, and do not show
their disapproval of it by report
ing it to the officers, it makes it
hard to enforce any law, but
when the violators of the law
finds out that any man is liable to
report him for his misdoings it
makes him think twice before he
will take the risk.
I | have the hearty cooperation
of the sheriff and all of his depu-
ties in the different parts of the
county to help me enforce the
game law and | have some twenty
odd deputy game wardens, and /
think all of us should hold things
down pretty well, and | will pay
$1,000 reward in addition to what
the law allows, which is half Of
the fine imposed, for evidence suf-
ficient to convict for all violations
of the game laws where a fine is
paid.
Hoping that the sportsmen of
the county will assist me, together
with all other law-abiding citizens
in enforcing the game law, and
that we can make it effective and
give to the game the protection
that the law intended, | beg to re-
main,

year would cover the cost of cul-
tivation. The plants bear in
twelve to eighteen months after
planting and continue to bear an.
nually thereafter without replant-
| ing for five or six years.
Truck farming is an industry
yet in its infancy and offering
good returns on intelligent and
well directed efforts. Profitable
and easy crops to raise are sweet
potatoes, Irish potatoes and sugar
cane, which pay $3.50 to $500 per
acre.
Oranges, grapefruit, lemons and
lines are successfully grown; so
are some other fruits of lesser
note.
Prices of town lots and OF
lands out of town vary so great
ly that it is impracticable to give
quotations here; but almost any
one who does not expect to find
in a new and sparsely settled
country like this, the improve
ments and conveniences of Ohio
and Massachusetts, can find here
something to suit him in price and
character, whether he wishes i'm
proved or unimproved property.
The town government consists
of a mayor, marshal, five alder
men, clerk, collector and assessor,
and a treasurer. The streets
are hard surfaced and so are
miles of public roads leading i1to
town. The construction of a sys-
TEN Of improved highways in a
special bonded road and bridge
district of which Punta Gorda is
the center is now under way and
involves the expenditure of $780,
900. A system of water works
and sewerage has recently been
put in by the town at a cost of
100000 for which bonds were
issued.
The location is one of the
healthiest to be found anywhere,
as is shown by vital statistics kept
y the local health officer.
A man can work out of doors
here any and every day in the
year. Prostrations from heat
never occur. The climate here is
ideal the year round.
Flowing "rtesian wells may be
obtained here at varying depths,
and a number of them are now
in use in and about town, some for
irrigation and others for supply
ing drinking water, etc. The
water from these artesian wells
contains mineral properties and is
said to possess medicinal value,
some citizens claiming to have
Deen cured of various ailments by |
drinking it freely. The town
owns four of these wells.
Our people are from various
states and countries and are very
LIBERAL and tolerant in their views
md opinions. They are hospi-
able to respectable strangers,
generous to their neighbors, to the
,oor and needy, progressive and
nd enterprising to the extent of
heir means, law-abiding and u
ited for the common welfare of
heir community. No kinder, bet
err people are to be found any
there.
There are but few dwellings, or
ottages for rent, but those that
re renting bring from $1,000 up
err month.
Opportunities for amusement
nd recreation are varied and
bundant, the finest fishing in the
,orld is offered; there's boating
and other outdoor sports
nat may be had.
In conclusion, whatever your
bject may be, whether business
r pleasure, investment or recrea-
ion, health or happiness of any
ind, it will be to your interest
