TAMlAMl TRAIL RECOGNIZED
AS A STATE HIGHWAY
Result Of Contest Made Before the State Highway Commission
By Committees From Sarasota and Punta Gorda - Sur
vey BY State Engineer Sarasoa-Punta Gorda
Section to be Made to Determine Route

A telegram from the Commercial
Club committee, filed in Tallahassee
Tuesday night, and received by Edi-
tor Garrett yesterday morning,
brought the gratifying news that the
committee had won the contest be-
fore the State Highway Commission
for the recognition of the Tamiami
Trail as a State highway and, as such
is entitled to State aid.
More particularly stated, Road
Number Five, from Sarasota to Punta
Gorda, has been officially designated
as state road, placed on the map
and will be given State aid. Thus,
thanks to the live men of Sarasota
and Punta Gorda, the threatened di-
version of this great highway from
the original route has been averted: /:
and not only this, but the construc-
tion of the raod is now assured -.
Meantime. work is progressing as
rapidly as possible at various points
along the route.
Since the above was in type, we
have received the following copy of
the resolution adopted by the 81 te

WOMEN REGISTERING
Seventeen New Voters Qualified Mon
day and Tuesday Morning.

Although we had received no ofii-
cial instructions to start registering
women, with the expectation of re-
ceiving such instructions, f. Wotitz-
ky, local registration officer, opened
the registration books to the women
of Punta GCrda Monday and up to
10 o'clock Tuesday forenoon II had
registered.
Mrs. E. A. White, local Western
Union manager, was the first Punta
Gorda woman to register
Of the IT women registered up to
10 o'clock Tuesday, IA registered as
Democrats and three as Republicans.
Registration officer Wotitzky re-
uuires that married women use their
maiden name in connection with
their husbands name. In other
words, if Mary Roe married John
Doe Mrs. Doe would register as Mary
Roe Doe. This rule prevents con-
fusion in keeping the records.
Mr.. Wotitzky is of the opinion that
a large number of women are going
to register.

The days lesson was a continue

Park on congress and its work.
"'The Importance of committees in
our Congressional government can
not be over estimated. In the 65th
Congress total of 1854 bills 4"
were introduced. The total number

may be given hearings on that meas
urc or not, just as it chooses.
In the House the rules commit
tee has extraordinary power it
is difficult for any measure TO get on
the floor without what is called

Special attention was called to the
waste in Congress of the public timc
and money, and to the proceedings
that are destructive of national inter
est.
A message from President Wilson
to the women of America was read by
Mrs. Blount. Nothing has given me
more pleasure than the privilege "
i to do what | could to " y hasten
the day when womanhood of America
would be recognized by the nation on
the equal footing of citizenship that

SMALLER FRUIT CROP
According to Estimate of Florida Cit
rus Exchange.

That the grapefruit and orange
crop of Florida for the coming sea-
son probably will be smaller than
for 1919-20 is the belief of C. f..
Stewart, jr., business manager of the
Florida Citrus Exchange, expressed
in kilograms sent to the Jacksonville
Times Union according to a recent
issue of that paper.
Mr.. Stewart is quite positive that
while more oranges will be grown in
the state than last year, the lesser
yield of grapefruit will reduce the
total production to figure consider
ably below the eleven million box
aggregate of the past season.
Estimates of sixteen-million box
crop for 1920-21, credited to the
Florida Citrus Exchange in recent
dispatches from Tampa that were
widely published throughout Florida,
are repudiated by Mr.. Stewart, who
is in the North on business connected
with the completion of sales plans for
the organization of which he Is an
active executive.
Any over-estimate of the citrus
crop at this time of year Is a serious
matter for growers, he says. Specu-
lators seize upon the figures as
means of inducing grove owners to
part with their fruit at lower prices
than conditions justify. There is no
reason to believe that the production
Of the state will be large enough to
keep down prices, according to Mr..
Stewart, who feels that the hereto
fore cooperative market will bring
growers satisfactory returns.

A. c. IL. to Start Work on Branch
Line at Once.

Extension of the Atlantic Coast
Lines branch road from Goodno to
Immokalee is under way, and the
new road is to be completed by
March /, 1921, according to an
nouncement at Fort Myers few
days ago, says the Press, of that city.
Grading contracts are being let,
and grading has already been started
on the upper part of the right Of
way.
Contracts for ties also are being
made, 1t was stated, and as soon as
delivery is made of the first lot of
ties they are to be laid and the lay
ing of the rails is to be started.
c. A. Warren, of the Atlantic
Coast Line who Is in Fort Myers, is
making the contracts for Crossties,
and also is to be in charge of the
construction work.
Mr.. Warren informed represen-
tative of the Fort Myers Press today
that the Crossties are to be cut on
and along the right of way of the
new line, as far as possible. He said
that at least $1,000 would be re-
quired.
Work of laying the ties and rails
is to be under way not later than
October l, Mr.. Warren stated, add
ing that 54-pound rails are to be
used.
The new line is to be a continue
tion of the Atlantic Coast Lines
branch from Moore Haven to Goodno,
which was constructed some years
ago.
At the time work was discontinue
ed on this branch, it was stated, it
was the roads intention to continue
the branch to Immokalee. 1t is in
timated that resumption of this work
means that the Atlantic Coast Line
soon will begin work on the exten-
sion of its line from this city to
Bonita Springs, surveys fer which
already have been made. .,...
Construction of the new branch
line will afford rail transportation to
a section of Lee county that Is now
practically isolated. as far as II,
portation lines are concerned 1t
will also open up one of the richest
sections of the county and undoubt-
edly will attract many new settlers to
the inexhaustibly fertile m u c k
lands bordering the lower Ever
glades.
It is believed the construction of
this new branch railroad is a part of
a development scheme which has
been under consideration by the At
lantic Coast Line and other interests
for several years, and which, If car
ried out, will have a powerful in
fuence on the rapid development of
the entire lower part Of the county,
both agriculturally and commercial
