At the large mound on Key Largo, ce- ment and stone steps were found. Apparently, this mound was not. the work of Indians or of our Mound Builders, but of such trav- elers or adventurers as may have come from Central America or work, the bargaining power of the individual worker is inereased. He winy demand higher wages, and; depending on the extent of the ‘in- fiation and business improvement, inflation shows, in: general, that gets his raise.

The builders of Key West were far from foolish—they “builded upon a-rock.” On a solid foundation* of coral rock the city basks in the’ bright tropic sunshine amid flow- ers and waving palms. Entirely, surrounded by its ‘Ocean.and Gulf and held safely in the arms of the mighty Gulf Stream, it is an emerald isle in a ‘turqudise sea. In SEVERAL ways it is the ONLY city of its ‘kind in the whole wide world. The ‘earliest inhabitants of whom ‘we have any real history, discovered on the ‘island queer Mexica, in ithe days of long ag) ounds of stone.

In the past, such ships! have gone down within sight of Cayo Hueso and in several places treasure has been found. In the Key West of the present day, there are wonderful evenings when Cuban music comes drifting: from dances at the Cnban Club or the Cuban theatres. Beautiful girls wear ‘Spanish mantillas or Cuban shawls and dance the Span- ish dances. Key West means pleas- ure, romance, and if you desire, adventure. Life is far from stren- uous and money-grabbing compe- tition does not exist. “Key West- ers” Believe in “Live and Let Live”. | ‘They are hospitable jin the southern and western sense of the word-——If you are worthy, you will be liked, and if you prove to be lovable, then you will be loved. On the principal streets of Key West you may stroll fram ‘the Atlantic Ocean to the. Gulf of Mex- ieo during the time that is required to smoke one Cuban cigarette. While doing so, you dream of its mysterious past, its beauty today, and the Paradise which it is certain to become. In. the. year 1815, the Spanish Governor of Florida was Don Juan We ‘Estrada. At that time, for services vendered, he gave a grant. of the island to Juan Pablo Salas. A ‘few years later, Florida ‘having been ceded to the United States, a. Mr. Jdhn ‘Simonton, of Mobile, bought the island from Senor Sal- as. . Probably the first white man to be a permanent resident was Mr. Pardon C. Greene; then grad- mally others came. It is to be noticed that a preat proportion of the early settlers were well-educat- ed and from families of refine- ment. Many of them had held posi- tions of trust and honor. There were English from the Bahamas, Americans from Washington and New York, (graduates of northern universities), Spanish Dons and many high class Cubans. Also there was a sprinkling of rough, wild ad. venturers who drifted in, liked jit, and dropped anchor.
