"I mean by that, the superficial condition, for that seems to be what people mean when they ask. what Is going to happen In Florida, "We, who are interested In the permanent development of Florida are net much concerned about the temporary condition, such as the iplrlt of land gambling which ha prevailed for some month.

Scandalous stories are being pub. llahed In aoms northern newspapers concerning the wiles ot the south and there are even open acouaatlona that the north la being vamped.

What tha Faeta Are. "Ths truth Is that Florida does offer business and professional opportunities not now found In many ot tha states whose natural resonroes hava been mors nearly developed," said an officer of the Chamber.

"Just as In the earlier days when Indiana was frontier slate, and easterners were' pushing Into this new territory, so are northerners now seeking tha attractive opportunities of tha south.

Lucie Is the largest, and designed to he the control canal tor the Everglade drainage system. It Is 100 feet wide and Is to ba of sufficient depth for light draft vessels when it Is completed as a drainage outlet.
