RECLAIMING THE EVERGLADES. The following very sensible articie m the Saturday Evening Post =ums up the situation with great accur- acy: “The Everglades of Florida going the way of that Great Ameri- «on desert whose waste aridity was described in the school geographies of our fathers; but the transform:.- tion is much more rapid. Lake Oke- chobee--the largest body of fresih wi- ter, except Lake Michigan, within the boundaries of the United States —is twenty-one feet above sea level, are It has low, marshy banks on the south, and during the rainy season i overflows, flooding the ‘glades, Florida is diggingfive main canals, each fifty feet wide, from the lake (o tidewater, When completed @ year from next summer—these ca- nals will lower the level of the lake four feet, preventing its overtlow, and thus reclaim a large part of the Everglades. When lowered, the lake will still cover halt a million acres to a depth of three feet - a great reservoir from which water will ey let into the canals and impounded Ly gates and locks for irrigation pus- peses as needed during the dry sea- son The soil of the Everglades s muck, two to fourteen feet in depti.. The climate, of course, is subtropical, with frost almost unknown, It is an admirable scheme, the practical value of which, we believe, is not ques- tioned by any one competent 10 speak. It should be understood, how- ever, that the Everglades will not be ready for cultivation when the State's job is done. Lateral canals and farm ditches must still be con- structed by the land owners, This work Is not very expensive, but takes some time. It should also be under- stood thal anybody who buys land in the Everglades with his eyes shut is liable to the same disappointment which awaits a blind investor in the frosty north.” NEW BUILDING. — Say, Mr. Smith, did yon notive my new building going up?” “Yes, where did you buy your material?” “Why, 1 bought from the Lakeland Manufacturing Co.
