| SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1925 Florida Land Boom Drive From Ancient Homes in Everglades A typical Seminole family at home, and (inset) leader of the tribe, By Central Press, FT. LAUDERDALE, , Fla., Noy. 14.—The American Red Indian is being swept from his last frontier. Again he is feeling the pressure of a land boom. The Seminoles, probably the purest in unmixed blood of all the surviving tribes, are meeting the fate long ago dealt to other clans of their race, who were swept from the plains in ¢he recurrent land booms that moved from east to west in the first 100 years of American history, The land boom in Florida ts driv- ing the Seminoles from territories long held by them. The Seminole Indians inhabiting the Florida Everglades are being forced to leave their present grounds and move westward. Their plight has aroused the in- terest of many. Floridians, who have Induced the state and federal gov- ernments to set aside two tracts of land, one of 26,000 acres in area, the other 100,000 acres, in Monroe coun- ty, for the: use of the Indians. The Seminoles, however, have thus far fafled to make use of this land. This is because they refuse to accept from the “Big Chief’ of the whites asa gift a portion of the Florida lands they claim as thelr own. 7200 of Tribe Survive. The federal government is now fencing in a part of the 26,000-acre reservation. It plons to put in cattle pens and other facilities for raising cattle and place them at the disposal of the Seminoles. The In- dians will also be encouraged to grow bananas. Fi la so far has done little to help the Seminolen settle on the re- maining 100,000 acres reserved for them by the state. The Southern Baptist Home Mission board plans to establish an industrial school, and some educated Oklahoma Indians will be invited to teach in. this school. Censhs figures give the number of Seminole Indians as 324, but a count made recently indicated the number to be about 700, all leading a primitive life in the fastnesses of the Everglades. The United States came into con- trol of these Seminole Indians at the time Spain parted with her title to Florida in 1821. The Spanish treated the Seminoles as free men. When the Indians passed under the} aegis of thé United States they stipulated that they would never fight the white man but that all the rights and privileges which they inter Indians best known as Chief Tony Tomms. had enjoyed under Spain should be preserved. Everglades Yield Progress. They aroused the enmity of the ante-bellum Southerners by giving shelter to negroes who had fled from thelr white masters. The constant efforts of the Southern whites to lispossess these Indiang finally re- sulted in a treaty by the terms of which the Seminoles were to leave “lorida in exchange for a new home n the west. A few of them refused to recognize this treaty and fled into the woods and swamps, The Everglades contain about 1,000 square miles of marshy land and forests, 800 miles of which, ac- cording to government reports, have never been perfetrated by a white man. This vast morass is covered with innumerable water channels fed by subterranean streams and springs. On the borders of the lagoons are dense forests of cypress, cabbage palm, rubber and mangrove.
