RIVER TRAFFIC
GETTING HEAVY
FOR CLYDE: LINE.
Forced to Extend Docks
at Sanford and Are
Crowded Here

Traffic on the st. Johns river is
heavier now than it has been for
many years, according to river front
men, and with a growing possibility
of increasing freight tout" as we'll as
Sin" opportunity for more boats will
be afforded in the very near future,
in the opinion of many who have
been noting the increasing traffic.
1t is pointed out that rail freight
rates are gradually forcing traffic
to waterways, most of tn ebig sys-
TENS already having either actually
secured ownership or. working
agreement with the boat lines to
raise their rates according so as to
catch the high rate any way it goes.
This naturally will open the way for
Independent boat lines, which are
sure to come when the tonnage
mounts to a sufficient volume.
The Sanford Herald points out the
increase in the river freight to that
point as follows:
"Sanford's waterways and lake
front will be utilized in the years to
come and the lake front aside from
being the prettiest part of the city
will also be the busiest. 1t is only
question of time until big warehouses
and docks will be built along the wa
ter front, but that part reserved for
a hotel site between Park avenue and
Palmetto avenue to be beautified by
tn city will be left open.
'The Clyde Line enlarged their
warehouse here to double the capac-
ity last year to take care Of the big
business that was worked up by the
Central Florida Water Traffic
league and now it is learned that the
warehouse will be again doubled to
take care of the constantly increas-
ing river trade. This means much
to this city and to every city within
radius of one hundred miles since
all of these various sections are
trucking their commodities to and
from Sanford.
THE Atlantic Coast Line railway
is now engaged in pulling up all the
old and unsightly piling on the lake
front where their landing docks were
formerly located in the old days
when there were but few shipments
by railway and much of the freight
was handled by water. These old
piling were a menace to navigation
and were most unsightly and at the
request of the Sanford Chamber of
Commerce the A. C. L. railway took
them out and they deserve the thanks
Of the people OF this city for so do
ing.
Cur lake front is one of our most
valuable assets an DIVE should make
it such. When the splendid boat
basin is constructed on the lake front
and many other improvements are
made, Sanford will then have taken
of the water front ard

Menlfee, MO.-Thirty-two years ago
Silas Menifee, for whom this village
was named, passed out of this earthly
o existence at the ripe old age of ninety
two years. He had led misery, her
nit life, and it was generally supposed
that he had a tidy sum of money hid
den away somewhere, as he was al
ways skeptical of banks. But a dill
iEent search by his relatives after
death revealed nothing of any value.
SO confident were his relatives that
|he had secreted money about the little
cottage that they even tapped the
walls ana examined the legs of the
lchaIrs. Nothing ever came of the
search, however, and the place was
rented. Osborn Shropshire became the
IArst tenant and prospered so well
that he was accused of finding the
boarded wealth, but he swOre up and
hown he hadn't and as none Of the
merchants about the village had ever
seen any money that looked suspi-
!ciously old this notion was finally given
up.

Mr.. Menifee, known as "Old ST." the
Shropshire family began to be an

middle of the night there would be
strange rappings, unaccountable from
any source. Again they would hear

found nothing. They finally moved

five CENTS FOR NOON EDITION
SAVES CASPER WOMEN SHOPPERS
MUCH Time And MORE TROUBLE

The noon edition of the Tribune, advertising all the best bar
gains of Casper shops and stores, is prying a boon to the busy
housewives. They can come down town and do their shopping
after looking over the paper without the necessity of tramping all
over town for what they want. If it is anything interesting, it
will be advertised III the Tribune.
MAJ Casper women appreciate the value OF being able to save
steps and time by shopping with reference to the Tribunes noon
ediion. Some few do not, but they arc rapidly learning. Five
cents for a copy of the Tribune will save every shopper a dollars
worth of time, considerable effort, and much patience.
The aid of the noon edition in helping Casper to ~do it's Christ
mas shopping early is incalculable. The fair sex, who do most
of the shopping, are appreciatipg this fact. Only yesterday a
prominent woman who requested that her name be not used came
to the Tribune office and remarked IN what n timesaving method
it was to buy early, before the bargains were all picked over,
simply by consulting the early edition of the paper.
