NOTED BUILDER


JOINS CARSONIA
DEVELOPMENT


".' *.-,Mr. A. W. Lang of Miami, Fla.,
made a visit to Cedar Key last week
Ls a guest of "Carsonia On-The-
S.-Gulf," Cedar Key's latest and largest
S Development.'
T ; Mr. Lang has been for the past 80
.years.associated with the building in-
.' dustry at Miami, and for the past 14
*year., as superintendent of the Geo.
W. Langford Co., and has superin-
tended the construction of most of
Miami's prominent hotels, his latest
achievements being the Fleetwood
Hotel of Miami Beach, and the Mc-
Allister of Miami, these noted hos-
te'iries compare favorably with the
best in the United States today.
Mr. Lang- built the first house at
Miami Beach several years ago and
tells an interesting story in connec-
S-t;on with the construction.
S He says the mosquitoes were so
fierce that it was necessary for the
carpenters to work iri pairs, one doing
the work while his partner wielded
a large /palmetto leaf over him to
*prevent the mosquitoes from devour-
ing him.' ,
A Simudge fires had to be built all
*around the place, and carpenters
.,.looke6 like black men, at the.end of
S 'a smoke begrined day's work, but
S prIeserverance alw ays'succeeds and(
ow. ., Miami Beach ranks with the fin-
..est. bathing resorts in the world.
S Mr-. Lang was very much impress-
"ed .by the natural..beauty of Cedar
-Key and.Carsonia, he realizes and
"' t a. p ,apns that nature has made this spot,
.:. .with' it's numerous islands, bayous and
S" "" White. beaches, more beautiful than
A,,,.' 'a iatAI..al.MiaMi. beach, where expendi-
. Y.. -.:.ary for.'provements, which Cedar
'' Key and Carsonia.possess as a gift of
.t.-' .:ture. ,.
Mr. Lang sees wonderful possibili-
S, ties for the sister cities, and has be-
come financially interested in Car-
onia.
'.Mi. Lang returned to Miami, but
will come back in a-few days to be-
gin construction work on the new
*city, Carsonia On-The-Gulf.
This development of Carsonia On-
S1he-Gulf is of vital interest and im-
portance to every progressive citiben,
.aI J0o doubt this development will
start things moving for a greater
Cedar Key.

ENGINEERS BEGIN WORK OF
SURVEYING CITY
Monday morning a corps of en-
gineers and assistants began
work of surveying the Island city
for street levels, etc., preparatory
to installing the sewerage system
and waterworks and paving of
the streets.
This is no doubt welcome news
to everyone, and-it will not be so
very long before Cedar Key will
put on quite a different appear-
ance with these much needed imi-
provements.

STATE ROAD DEPT.
HEAD WAS HERE
F. A. Hathaway, at the head of the
State Highway department, spent last
Wednesday in Cedar Key and went
with several local citizens over the
proposed routes of the new highways
which are to be built in Levy county.
Mr. Hathaway was hospitably enter-
tained while here, and left the pro-
n ise that Cedar Key and Levy coun-
ty would be looked after in the near
fi ture in the matter of good roads.
Thle News and everyone will be
glad to.see -the construction of good
roads begin, and engineers are at
present surveying tor Road 13. WhVen
Cedar Key and Levy county get hard
surfaced roads they are sure to grow
by leaps and. bounds. Much local in-
fluential pressure was brought to
b:-ar on Mr. Hathaway, and good re-
s'.Ilts are sure to follow.

S HIGH IN WASHINGTON
R. A. Green of the Second District
of Florida, though one of the young-
ebt members of the 69th Congress,
secured more committee assignments
than any other new Democratic mem-
bor, having received four-the maxi-
rium number allowed any member. A
total of 53 assignments went to the
20 new Democratic members.
Judge Green was put on following
committees: Railroads and Canals,
Coinage Weights and Measures, Alco-
holic Liquor, Expenditures in Agri-
cultural Department.
We must notice that some of these
appointments are in line with the de-
velopment and needs of the state of
Florida and Judge. Green is evilently
making them feel his presence in
Washington.


It is mny intention to establish and

'MULLET AS NEW INDUSTRY
State Shell Pish Commissioner T. R. Hodges
is co-operating with the United States Bureau
of Fisheries in efforts to make a scientific
study of the habits of the mullet, a fish e -on
sidered one of the most valuable inhabiting
Florida waters, from a money-making stand-
point.
The commissioner is now devoting his at-
tention more specifically to ascertaining the ex-
act spawning time of the mullet, ;in order that
the closed season may be changed if necessary
to give better protection to the maternal fish
during that period.
SSpecimens of roe have been taken as far
south as Cape Sable, and no considerable dif-
ference in advancement bf maturity of roe in
one part of the state over the other has been
observed so far. A large specimen jar An the
shell fish commission exhibit in the capitol con-
tains side by side two well-developed speci-
,mens of red roe, one taken from extreme
northwest Florida, and the other from ex-
treme south Florida. No perceptible differ-
ence is shown in their maturity.
The fat of the mullet first appears in the
fish's head. Later it appears inside the body,
and then from the body it goes to the roe. The
red roe is carried by the female while the white
is carried by the male fish.
The red mullet roe is considered a delightful
food, and has very ready sale, and great quan-
tities are shipped annually from the state. .

Mere exhaustion wouldn't make a wdman
give up the channel swim if it were the social

If, as the government charges, some people
use money awkwardly it may be due to a lack
of practice.

It is said that the first thing a pickpocket has
to learn is not to fritter away his time on mar-.

That to open new wealth and new oppor-

DEVELOPMENT OF BACK
COUNTRY IS CHIEF NEED
OF STATE OF FLORIDA

Perhaps the most essential point
Sto be considered in establishing the
Spermanency of what critics are
Pleased to call the "Florida boom" is
the development of the back coun-
try. Fortunately Florida's well pro-
vided for in this respect. We have
the authority of Governor Martin
himself to say that the agricultural
d-vclopment of the state is yet only
in its early stages, and when it
reaches its full development, it will
he capable of.supporting a popula-
tion of 15,000,000 peoplje.. If that is
true, andvwe see no reason to doubt
it for the governor is noted for the
conservation of his statements, and
rarely makes an assertion that he
cannot back up with the actual facts,
there need be no nervous doubts as
to the permanency of the so-called
boom. It will last until the state is
filled up with a contented .and pros-
peious husbandry, getting a living by
the cultivation of a fertile soil under
an evershining sun. -No state in the
Tnion offers such wonderful oppor-
tunities to the careful anrdt-industrious
farmer as does Florida. Whether his
tastes run to stock farming, handling
h.og- or cattle, or to truck farming,
gr-owing vegetables in winter for
northern markets, or to that ne plus
ultra of all outdoor employment fruit
growing, he will find conditions here
that well night approach perfection.
i. e stockman finds a long growing
season, with an abundant supply of
forage plants and valuable native
grasses, upon which his stock is cer-
tain to thrive. The genial climate
flEes him from the necessity of pro-
viding expensive shelter for his stock
through the long months of winter.
1he trucker rejoices in a fertile soil,
* easy to work but extraordinarily
productive, with an easy anrd quick
access to the largest market in the
nation, at a time when the northern
w-inter cuts off all competition. The
f,,:it grower has a long list of fruits
from which to make his selection. If
the growing of citrus fruits does not
appeal to him, he can turn his atten-
tion -to bananas, avocadoes, or ber-
ries which all thrive here and have
prov(-ed themselves to be moneymak-
eis. We have merely attempted to
outline there branches of agriculture
and horticulture which will be most
likely to attract the attention of
northern farmers. We have not int,.n-:
tionally exaggerated or misstated the
possibilities in any of the,lines. The
northern farmer who decided to lo-
cate here will find a salubrious and
healthful all-the-year climate, schools,
and churches such as he is accustom-

ed to in the north and a genial, Triend
ly arid companionable people. If he
does not make a success here it must
be his own fault. To those who have
tired of fighting the long, bitter win-
ters of the north with their ice and
snow and other handicaps, we say
"Come to Florida, where such things
never happen, and where you will
live longer and more pleasantly."--
