PROGRESsIvE FLORIDA
(By DR.. J. F. Richmond)

John Wannamaker once said that
he would not be surprised If Florida
became the greatest state in the un-
ion, and for 20 years it has certainly
been moving in that direction.
On my first visit to Jacksonville,
on March 1st, 1880, found on the
north bank of the st. Johns river p
little struggling village of several
hundred people, without a paved
street or sidewalk in the town. The
sand was six or eight inches deep, in
the street, and horses with two
wheeled carts dragged slowly along
with a quarter of a load. Res
taurants were largely in tents, and
one story wood buildings were called
hotels. There was but onevsolidly
constructed edifice in the town, the
Astor house, which was built with
the money of John Jacob Astor, and
has recently changed hands at a
great price.
had been almost afraid to ven-
tuYe so far south from New York,
but heard the people in their little
churches singing the same songs as
we sang in New York, and fell in

love with Florida that day and have
never lost my first love.
Jacksonville grew finely for 20
years after my first visit to it, but
was then overtaken by an immense
confiagratfon that In one afternoon
wiped out two-thirds of the town.
But Jacksonville, like New York,
Boston and Chicago. was not to be
defeated with one fire, and at once
spread her wings, and has grown i'm
mensely faster than before, and is
now a beautiful city of 125, 900 peo-
pie. South Jacksonville, on the op-
posite bank of the river, is an inde-
pendent city of nearly 10000 people.
Jacksonville has great sky scrap
ers for it's banks, and it's princely
merchants; it has great churches,
great city and county buildings,
magnificent school buildings, and
theatres, and hospitals, and resi-
Dental districts, where wealth has
displayed all that art and beauty
could present.
It's beautiful paved streets, kept
scruioulously clean, are not exceeded
on the globe. Prohibition is en-
forced with a strong hand.
Great cities are growing up all
over the state. st. Augustine, Tam
pa, st. Petersburg, Daytona, Palm
Beach, and Miami are very rich and
thriving towns.
When / first visited Florida, in
1880, the state had 1872 miles of
railroad track; now it has over
5000 miles of track and the east
coast railroad is doubling its track
from~Jacksonville southward over so
miles. Over 10000 miles of paved
improved highways thread the state
in every direction, and hundreds of
miles more are being added to this
statement. Tourists from the east
and from Ohio, are riding all over
the state in their own cars. Pop
ulatfon is increasing all over the
state at wonderful pace, and it is
predicted that ten more years will
fill the state completely.
Babson, the business prophet,
says that more rich men pass
through, the million dollar depot at
Jacksonville than through any other
depot in the United States. 1 do not
know about that, but J. know that
Florida is already very wealthy
state. The federal income tax of
last year was $13,438,863, and was
more than was paid by six of the
older states combined, namely, Yer
mont, Mississippi, Montana, Idaho,

JAPANESE PUT OUT
 SINCLAIR OIL MEN
Prevented From Surveying on
 Sheir Island
Rr The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Tokio. March 15.-Japanese mili- tary authorities have frustrated an at tempt by J. P. Mccullough and D. F. Mclaughlin, American surveyors representing Sinclair Oil interests, to enter the northern section of the Island of Saghaiien and have taken them on a gunboat from Saghalien to Otaru in Hokkaido, it was learned today.
 The Americans, accompanied by a Russian guide. entered Saghaiien from the Siberian mainland. They were .opped at AleXandroNsll by military officials who declared determination not to permit representatives ot an American company 10 conduct surveys under concessions from the Soviet government, which Japan does not recognize.
 Mccullough and Mac Laughin arc believed to have gone to Picking.
 The Japanese press commented on the possibilities Of a grave issue be- tween America and Japan over the valuable oil fields.
 Northern Saghaien nominally is Russian territory but is nnder Ja- panese military occupation. Ja- panese interests are planning oil eN- ploitation there under the auspices of the Japanese navy.
 The Sinclair Oil company holds a concession granted by the Soviet regime to prospect for petroleum on Saghalien Island, bhut the Japanese have refused to recognize any agree ment between Russia and any other country regarding these concessions so long as the northern portion of the island is occupied by the Japanese. The Japanese have spent large sums Investigating the Saghalien fields.
