Mr.. kelso Writes Again, This Time
From Miami.
To the Editor of The Republican.
Since I arrived in Miami l note the
great progress in the city during the
interval since January, 1904, when l
stayed in the city three weeks. At
that time the population was 1000
while today it is claimed to be $4,000.
The postoffice was then in a small
building, now in larger quarters. The
First National Bank was a one-story
cramped up room, but now it is a ten
story building. The Methodist church
was a very small building; today it
has a seating capacity Of three thous-
and people. Town lots that sold for
$500 in 1904 are now worth many
thousands of dollars and are now the
show places of Miami, being covered
with very valuable buildings of splen-
did design. There was a large area
of pine land considered of little value,
but now this is covered with costly
buildings. The Royal Palm Hotel
and few smaller hotels were in ex-
istence in 1904, but now there are
many immense hotels and a contract
has been let for another one to cost
over million dollars which is to be
built this summer.
Real estate men of the high class
speak Of hundreds of thousands and
millions of dollars in their deals.
1t is surprising to note the many
subdivisions in every direction around
Miami. They reach far into the or
ange groves and lap over into the ev-
erglades. Many of these subdivisions
have streets and side walks and cleo
trio light poles and a few have been
improved with buildings and of course
many lots are sold and resold at a
profit, but the city can't keep abreast
with the demand for buildings.
Hollywood by = the Sea, fourteen
miles north of Miami, and Coral Ga
bles, four miles south of Miami, have
spent many millions of dollars in
making the foundations for success
full and beautiful towns.
A contract has been let for the
making of forty acre park in Bys-
cane Bay which will be done by pump
ing sand and other material from the
bottom of the bay and numerous new
piers built. At the piers at present
many peculiar looking fish are deliv-
cred. l saw a sun fish that weighed
1900 pounds.
Fifteen to twenty miles south of
Miami is a great tomato growing sec
ton. The planting is estimated at
thirty thousand acres and in one week
500 care were shipped to markets in
the north. This is exclusive of the
shipments made by boat from Miami
to Baltimore.
One man had thirty acres of toma-
toes for which he received S27 900,
netting him $4,000.
There is a great deal of chance in
raising tomatoes. One man told me
he and two others had 200 acres in
tomatoes in 1923 and they lost $685.
900 on the crop. The tomato Sec
ton is prairie soil and requires fertili-
cation.
In some sections large tracts are
owned by individuals which are rent
ed, the owners furnishing the fertil-
izers. The first sales usually pays
for the fertilizer and then the balance
of the money is usually equally divided
between the owner of the land and the
renter.
Henry Harvey, formerly of Noun
tain Lake Park, has two acres of to-

Prairie Dogs are
Being Eliminated

The annual report Of the Bureau.
of Biological Survey covering the
fiscal year ending June 80 showed .
remarkable record of service per-
formed by the Extension Service and
the Biological Survey. With more
people realizing the great benefits of
the, proper control of rodent pests,
this department is each year filling
a great need.
Almost 81 ons Of poison-37,64
pounds-were distributed to 2,726
ranchers and farmers Of the state at
cost. This represents a gain of a.
6S2 pounds over what was used last
year. A total of 4,O24 ounces of
s%trychnine was distributed through
the Extension Service at prices SO
to 100 per cen under local rates.
This poison treated 3662,539 acres
of ground infested with prairie dogs
ground squirrels. pocket gophers,
jack rabbits, field mice, and wood
chucks, making a high average kill

In 1928. Immediately after the
compulsory law was passed. i've
counties created compulsory poison
ing districts. Now there are eleven
counties carrying on the work, with
2.Sks.O00 arree Of ground included
in districts 1t will take a few years
to complete these units, but they
will represent a permanent invest
ment, as reinfestation will be re-
duced to a minimum. New acres will
be added each year, gradually in
creasing the cleared acreage.
Poison was distributed to every
county Of the state except one.
Poisoned grain was carried by all
County Agricultural Agents, and by
the State Extension Office at Lara
mie. Weston county distributed it
through the County Clerks office.
and Carbon, Sublette, and Teton
counties secured 1t directly from our
representatives.

Have Kidneys
Examined By
Is Your Doctor
Take Salts to Wash Kidneys if
Back Pains You or Bladder
Bothers

Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart of water each day, also take salts
occasionally, says a noted authority, who
tells us that too much rich food forms
acids which almost paralyze the kidneys
III their efforts to expel it from the
blood. They become sluggish and
weaken; then you may suffer with a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, dizzi-
ness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coatedss and when the weather is bad
you nave rheumatic twinges. The urine
gets cloudy, full of sediment, the chan
nels often get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids, to help cleanse the kidneys and
flush off the body's urinous waste, get
four ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days, and your kidneys may then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for wears to help flush and stimulate
sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize the
acids in the system so they no longer
irritate, thus often relieving bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is Inexpensive; can not in
jure and makes a delightful etterves-
cent lithia-water drink. By all means
have your physician examine your kid
neys at least twice year.

GHOST CITY STARTS
At THE RYLANDER
First Chapter To Show With
Douglas Fairbanks
Feature

Replete with new thrills, "The
Ghost City," a sensational new
chapter play starring Pete Morri-
son, begins at the Rylander next
Saturday. The story, one of the
most remarkable ever screened,
takes the old West, which still eX-
lists in the interior cattle country
and compares it with the new West,
which is invading the old country
in the form of irrigation projects,
engineering feats that transform
the cattle ranges to farm areas, the
airplane, used now to patrol forests
and watch grain fires, and the auto
mobile.
Traditional and modern thrills
mingle in fast uccession-daring
rides, stampteding herds, breath
taking feats in bull-dodging steers
vie with desperate races by motor
cycle, thrilling drops. from the
clouds by Al Wilson, the celebrated
stunt aviator, and other modern
excitement. The destruction of a
huge irrigation project is the CEN
trail theme Of the sensational pho
toplay.
On the same program will be
shown a Douglas Fairbanks fea-
ture, "The Scrap of His Life" and
a Century comely, "Rich Pups"
'The Scrap of His Life" is re-
vised version of one of Fairbanks
best pictures, Reggie Mixes H."
