After con- siderable work on the part of the Florida Congressmen a survey was made possible, and several routes were selected for the preliminary work. The majority of these routes begin at the mouth of the St. Johns river and branch off across the State in various ways, as will permit of the most economical construction should the real work on the canal be order- ed. The proposed canal is only a link in the chain of inland waterways pro- posed by the Mississippi to Atlantic Deep Waterways Association, Senator Li. U. Fletcher being president of that organization. ator Fletcher will be able to attend the meeting, as he is now engaged at the Lorimer hearing in Chicago, but other prominent men will be at the hearing. The Board of Trade will undoubtedly be well represented, as the proposed canal will be of the utmost importance to Jacksonville, Capt. George R. Spalding is cne of the members of the board of dis- wrict engineers, which has the mat- ter in hand, and he will probably arrive during the early part of rext week to prepare for the meeting. fle has made a close study of the canal proposition, and it is hoped that should the board make a favor- able report, Captain Spalding will tavor the Jacksonville route. The report of the meeting will probably be forwarded to Washington before given to the public. WORK BEING PUSHED ON OVER-SEA LIMITED Every morning the train from Jacksonville brings a car well filled with laborers, who have been em- S 1 ployed on the works below Knight's Key, on the Florida Kast Coast Rail- way company's extension. The hope of completing the road by Jan- uary 20th is responsible for the em- ployment of additional labor. It is; said that out of a possible fifty men that go to the keys to work ten per cent. are good workmen, while the others are soon discharged.-—Miami Herald, It is doubtful if Sen-| | TELEGRAM, LAKELAND, FLORIDA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1911, PAGE SEVEN [this.

We have sub-divided our prop- erty in Lakeland Highlands. centering around Banana, Scott and Seward lakes into Bungalow lots and ten-acre tracts. We are developing this prop- erty as a high class resort: we have sold a large portion of this property to people of means in the northern states, who will build beautiful homes and plant grapefruit, orange and tanger- ine groves on their holdings. A number of sales have been made to residents of Polk county, who realize the investment op- portunity and who further de- sire to take advantage of the pleasure and social features of this high class Club Colony. The Elevation of Lakeland Highlands is 300 feet above sea level. The panoramic views are unsurpass- ed in Florida. The land is roll- ing and naturally drained. The climate is pure and invigorating and there are mo mosquitoes nor malaria at Lakeland Highlands. The improvements now under construction, consist of a mag- nificent Country Club House, Spanish Mission style of archi- tecture, school and chapel, boat houses, stables and garage. A golf course is now being planned in addition to many oth- er out door and indoor amuse- ments. The approximate cost to be $25,000 With the above improvements and develcpments it is obvious that property values in this sec- tion will increase very rapidly during the next few years, An investment made now, at the present iow pries and easy terms, should yield very hand- some commercial returns, It would not be surprising to see this property double in value during the next two years. The social and health advan- tages at Lakeland Highlands will be worth the amount of your in- vestment, An investment in a lot or ten acre tract entitles yon to a membership in the Lakeland Highlands Club, with all its privileges.

A large iron kettle was procured, and this, being tilled with necessary in- | gredlents—sixty-six pounds in weight —was hoisted to the summit o1 the huge chimney stack. Faulkner placed the receptacle on the outer and cool- est side of the brickwork, but despite this, the contents were found to be thoroughly cooked in one hour and twenty minutes, or ten minutes less than the stiplated time. Faulkner won his wager and the ple. which, it is said, was slighty burned at the bottom, was afterwards distributed among the poor of the district. —Bystander Needed Encouragement.
