WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, Dec.
S.-With an unending stream of au-
tomobiles bearing Northern license
plates rolling into West Palm Beach
over hard-surfaced highways, with
hotels and apartment houses meeting
all accommodation demands, and
with the crack tourist specials OF

Coincidental with provision OF
these new amusements is the estab

tourist headquarters in the down

the Chamber of Commerce, of Var1

BUILDERS SET MARK
ON CASCADE TUNNEL

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 6.-When
railroad decides it wants an eight
mile tunnel driven through the
granite backbone Of a mountain
range and wants 1t done in less than
half the time engineering expert
ence indicates it can be done, there
are likely to be hectic days ahead
for the engineers and contractors.
On Thanksgiving Day, three years
ago. the Great Northern railway
decided to rid it's line of the several
miles of snow sheds sheltering its
route across the Cascade Mountains
In Western Washington.
A snowfall Of SO feet or more in
the course of a winter is not unusual
in the mountain ranges along the
Pacific Coast. TO keep trains op-
Grating regularly across these ranges
the railways find it necessary to
protect their lines with massive tim
Der and concrete shelters. These
cost thousands of dollars a year to
maintain, besides thousands of dol.
lars for the operation of rotary snow
ploWs.
The new tunnel, lined from one
portal to the other with concrete,
eXceilently ventilated and electrically
operated, is said to constitute the
finest example of railway tunnel
construction and operation in the
world. Its cost is approximately
S14 900 900.

100000 EXPECTED
At TAMPA THIS YEAR
By F. A. SHELNUTT

TAMPA, Fla, Dec. 6.-The desire
to luxuriate in warm, golden sun
shine while the world above IS
freezing is the lure which is ex'
pected to bring upwards of 250,00O
winter visitors to Tampa this season
that and record breaking low liv-
ing costs in this center of tourist
activities and travel in the orange
Blossom state.
This estimate is based on an ur1-
precedented large number of adj
vance hotel and apartment reserva-
tions ais well as reports from all
sections Of the northland telling OF
the great trek down the sunshine
trail now under way.
While golfing. tennis, yachting,
fishing. sail-skating, INCORPORATING,
bathing, horseback riding, and
motoring are receiving the call by
the younger folk, sun bathing. the
newest of sensible health fads, is
taking quite a hold on the older and
more sedate visitor, as well as the
children.
In Tampa the traveller is in the
center of every Florida resort at
traction and sports activity, of
scores of one-day trips by rail, by
dG idAS COGCtt VI n0LphASoAAS
over palm-fringed highways, through
endless groves of glistening orange
trees to spots of beauty and interest
throughout the State.
The adventure of hook.and line
battles with sea monsters, scenes in
which lurk memories of Indian mas
sacres and pirates bold-these cap
ture tho visitors fancy as he plays
in the Tampa Bay section.
A new golf course to try each
day of the week, bay front just
made for thrilling water sports. for
peaceful boating or sporty fishing.
The worlds finest marine speed
way, old world canals with drifting
gondola parties and with yacht
basins at each hotel on Davis
Islands, Tampa's tailor-made tropi-
cal fairyland, which emerged from
Tampa Fay three years ago. Ten
mis-, riding, dancing, beautiful homes,
winding boulevards bordered with
tropical trees and riotously bloom
ing oleanders, luxurious surround
ings.
Tampa's winter program calls for
playing of the Dixie tennis tourna-
ment as well as the fifth annual
winter motorboat regatta, to be
run over the Davis Islands marine
speedway, and a series of fishing
sloop races. Several er-city and
interstate tournaments in rogue,
bowling, horseshoe pitching and
shuttle board contests will be ar
ranged. Boat trips, sightseeing
tours, State organization meetings
of tourist societies and picnics will
also be arranged from time to time
before the season ENDS.

D. c. RESIDENTS OFF
ON TREK TO FLORIDA
BY R. K. cHRIsTENBERRY

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. g.
Az King Winter grips the District
Of Columbia in his icy taions cara.
vans OF Washington tourists wend
their way to Jacksonville. the Gate
way City to Florida.
Already more automobiles from
the District of Columbia have en-
tered the State through Jackson
vile by II per cent than for the
same period last year. This is
taken by hotels, resort operators
and others interested or catering to
the tourist trade as an indication
that aIl existing records will be
broken by the influx Of tourists
this season.
Jacksonville is reached by water,
rail and highway, and occupies the
key position in the movement of all
traffic into the State.
Modern highways radiate from
Jacksonville to every section of the
State and the motorist may drive
over splendid roads, under ideal
climatic conditions, to wherever
fancy NAV dictate.
Although a modern city in every
respect Jacksonville and enyironS
still retains the same charm and
beauty that 1t did when it was a
Jungle Inhabited by the Indians and
Conquesta tadores. The same whisper
ing palms, the same ghost-like Span
isl1 moss. the same silvery moon
and the same golden sunshine that
enchanted Vaca, Coronado and
Ponce de Leon is here today as it
was four centuries ago.
And for the first. time in history
the Gateway City is going ahead
with ambitious plans to exploit her
real values to the tourists who will
visit the State Of sunshine and
pleasure.

Greater Gaiety.
For Palm Beach

PALM BEACH, Fla, Dec. g.
"Greater gaiety" will be the key.
note of society's activity at Palm
Beach the coming season. Assur-
ance of this condition is contained
in the announcement, made today
that the Royal Poinciana, the
worlds largest resort hotel. would
reopen on January IL. Henry e.
Bemis, vice president of the Florida
East Coast Hotel Company, who au.
thorized the statement, added that
it would be conducted on the
American plan, as in the past.
For a time last month. 1t was
believed the Poinciana would not
be opened for the 1929 season, but
during the last week officials of the
East Coast company determined
their plans, and the Poinciana is
now a beehive of activity, in prep
aration for the most gala season
in Palm Beach history.
Except for the northern portion
of the hotel, the Poinciana will be
operated in its entirety beginning
January IL. 1t was also announced
that the Cocoanut Grove concerts
and the customary features offered
by the hotel will be as complete as
before. The work OF beautifying
the hotel and environs is well un.
der way.
Palm Beach is looking forward
to an unusually early season. The
Palm Beach Golf Club will open
December 8. and the Hotel Break
ers and Bathing Casino will com.
mence operations next week. The
Palm Beach Country Club will open
on January 20. The two golf
courses are in excellent condition,
as are the tennis courts.
An attractive program of golf
and tennis competitions and ex-
hibitions has been arranged for the
impending season. Two of the
largest pilgrinages in the history
of golf will make Palm Beach their
rendezvous, these being the annual
championship tournaments of the
Winter Golf League of Advertising
Interests, and the Artists and Writ
ers Golf Association.

James River
Bridge Opens
New Highway

ONE Of the most important
" events in Southern High
way history was the opening
for traffic this year Of the
James River Bridge. This new
span has now made possible
a new motor trail leading from
Richmond into the heart Of
Tidewater Virginia, thus clos
ing the last gap in the famous
Atlantic Coastal Highway.
This new bridge has the dis
tinctiOn of being the longest
highway bridge in America
with total length of over
five miles, and the total cost
is estimated at 1000, 900. Cross
ing the James River just above
Newport News. it is located in
the center of the birthplace of
the Nation.
Gracing the broad expanse
Of the majestic old river, the
James River Bridge becomes a
veritable pavilion from which
may be viewed the sDttin" of
the drama picturing the birth
Of America.
