FLABLEftS CROWNING EFFORTIl

Florida will command more atten ¬

tion than ever when the proposed ex¬

tension of the Florida East Coast rail¬

way via the Florida Keys to KeyWest will have been accomplished-

Henry M Flagler intends to makethis extension and the invasion ofCuba the crowning effort of his lifeand it will be another jewel in the

I

crown of the man who has madeI

Florida beautifulIf Mr Flagler should live another I

fifteen or twenty years there will beundoubtedly a network of good roadson the Florida east coast as feedersto the railroad which he built he be ¬

ing possessed of a faith greater thanmost men would have had in the bar¬

ren waste stretching from Jackson-

ville

¬

on the north to Miami on thesouth

With farseeing ability Mr Flaglermade up his mind that the people of

the north when they became wealthyenough to travel would want a com-

fortable

¬

place in which to spend thewinter months which are severeenough in the north and west evenfor robust people but an all yearround residence in the north for theinvalid is an impossibility With fastand well equipped trains the NewYorker or the Bostonian or the Chi ¬

cago man can be transported in a lit¬

tle over a day to one of the palatialhotels managed by the Flagler hotelsystem Florida then is the nearestpoint to escape to and find a mild cli¬

mate and homelike surroundingsSomething is wanting however

gad that something is good roads on

the Florida east coast and that issomething the state of Florida willsurely give visitors and their ownpeople in the not distant future Ofcourse Mr Flagler cannot do it allbut he will as is always the case dohis big share of the work There IF

no reason why a main trunk road forautomobiles and carriages should notbe built from Jacksonville to Miamiand there is no reason why except-

the important outlay of money andcommencing the work that intersect-ing

¬

roads should not be built connec ¬

I

ting the different places of the eastcoast with a main trunk line roadand the railroad

With these roads and a system ofdraining and irrigation the Floridaeast coast will become populous andit will baa veritable garden as every-thing

¬

that can be grown in the tropics-can be grown in Florida Public spir ¬

ited men like Mr Flagler are givingroads more than a passing thoughtthese days as they have seen in goodroads such as New Jersey and otherStates have a real wealth producer-for good roads attract good people-

It is a good thing for the east coastthat r Flagler has taken to automobiling as there was a time when-

it was quite dangerous so I am toldfor an automobilist to enter the Flag ¬

ler home yard Now he uses the au ¬

tomobile at Larchmont at Ormondandin the White Mountains and thewriter is informed that the automo ¬

bile may add years to the life of MrFlagler as its health giving qualities-is already appreciated and its utility-is such that the team is not much inevidence these days

The building of the Florida EastCo ist railroad extension will be an

I

engineering feat of great proportionsII

as the line will pass from key to key-on trestle work and of course will beof cement and steel The steel piers

I

will rest partly on the coral rock thatabounds on the route of the roadfrom Miami to Key West and thekeys ever which the road will runwill undoubtedly become attractiveresidence places At one point of theroad several miles of bridging willbe done and this road therefore-will be possibly advertised as the

t

dustless railroad and the trip willf

be one of the coolest and most pleas ¬

ant that a traveler can takeW JMorgan in the Motoring Message-

Florida railroads would pay lessattention to tourist travel during thewinter months and more to the set ¬

ergetic German people who knowhow to farm raise horses and manyother profitable things Immigration-can be secured for Florida if thework is done in a proper mannerSpecial agencies should be established-in

6T THE PORTLAND FAIR

Special to the Ocala BannerFrom Hood River Oregon I came

t

to Portland via the Columbia riverFor six hours the Regulatorploughed the rolling Oregon downthe gorge which has along its bankssome of the grandest scenery onIearth notably the Bridge of theGods It is said that there is but onesteamer on the Columbia that dares-to shoot these cascades viz the

Undine of PortlandLong ago a great natural bridge

spanned the cascades and M ount Hoodand Adams were active volcanoes-The bridge according to a popularlegend fell and now the river rollsover instead of under the Bridge ofthe Gods

From the deck of the steamer weviewed the Bridal Veil and severalother magnificent falls also CastleRock which covers twentyseven-acres of ground Shortly afterwards-we entered the mouth of the Willa-

mette¬

on which is Portland thePearl of the Pacific where in all

its glory is the Lewis and Clark ex¬

position where these pioneers landed-one hundred years ago

Saw the fair first 03 evening lightand the electrical display was grandand glorious

Lewis and Clark blazed the trail-

to the Oregon country in 1805 and forthe centennial motto these words inlarge letters are blazed on the en ¬

trance with the following legendwhich has proved prophetic West-

ward¬

the course of empire takes itsI

wayThe first thing I did was to hit the

trail with a broad smile as the ex¬

hibits were all closed at night andfor an hour or so this amusementthoroughfare I hit from Genesis toRevelation All the while I was hit¬

ting the funny street the speilerskept up a continuous spiel after spielof the things about which they hadto spiel

The next morning I found everybuilding wide open so this FloridaCracker immediately began his lourof sight seeing and was rewarded byseeing things worth traveling aroundthe world to behold First visitedthe government building on Guildslake and is reached via the Bridge ofNatio is-

Rushed over and passed into theForrestry building then hit the trailagain with the same broad smileMy how those spielers can spiel

Visited the Washington buildingwhere I mailed thirtyfive or fortycards to my Marion county friendsAlso visited the Oregon OrientalAgricultural and California buildings-and by jove I found myself almostunconsciously ramb lug down thetrail again

Japan has the best exhibit of anyforeign nation She is here in glori-ous

¬

attire-In the Oriental building there is an

exhibit from every part of the globeFlorida failed to get an exhibit but

the Land of Flowers dosnt have-

to advertise her wares anyway-she continues to hold by her own in ¬

herent merits first place in the Un ¬

ionIn the Alaska building saw a pile-

of gold as large as the fruit exhibit-at Syd R Whalers stand in Ocala

After leaving the exposition I cameto Seattle Washington to make myhome and grow up with the country-

It is a great countryALBERT A GRAHAM
