THE AUGUSTA HERALD-
RAIL LINE THROUCH
THE FLORIDA KE YS
y or many generations there haa
been talk of that remarkable "some
day" time when a Journey will be
taken to Kurope by land all the way.
yet still there comes to ua somewhat
In the nature of a shock the newa
that before the beginning of another
i year we will be given an opportunity
|to travel by rail all the way from
New York to Cuba.
the story of this wonderful under
taking, aa written for a big Northern
dally, reads like some romance In
which fairies and genii play the moat
prominent parts, and yet the practical
facts are moat carefully substan
tiated.
The Idea was the dream of a great
railroad magnate who found a way to
make It possible by means of the
chain of keys which run along the
Florida coast and terminated, some
seventy-five miles below Cape Sable,
In Key ,/eat. Ilia railway, after
leaving the mainland, passes from
key to key by a series of wonderfully
constructed bridges to Key West.
Then a train-ferry takes the cars in
charge for some five or six hours,
and finally the same Pullman from
which you waved farewell to your
hometown draws up with you In thei
station at Clenfuegoa or Santiago or
any other town on which your fancy
may decide. This Is modern enter
prise tinged with a suggestion of that
tnaglr rarpet upon which the Arabian
hero seated himself when he wished
to fly from Bagdad to Damascus.
According to this same authority a
key is a small Island (Incidentally,
It may be mentioned that the word
should be spelt ca.v, but mapmakers
have made concessions to those who
know not foreign tongues), and It
does not require a very vivid imagi
nation to picture the effect of pass
ing over ,„ese tiny specks In a rail
way train. The Islands are all right
as supporters for the brdges. but as
features In the landscape, or sea
serape, they are not always important
factors. A few, indeed, are of consid
erable size sezeral miles, even —but
the majority are mere dots, and one
ran have, looking from the car-win
dow. the very curious impression of
being al sea in a train that rushes
along at a rattling good pare. The
distances from key to key are really
much smaller than they appear, for
the tiny speck which seems to lie far
off on the horizon Is probably very
much less than a mile distant. This
is a happy state of affairs, for It en
shies the traveller to have his poetic
illusion without thereby sacrificing
anything to mere commonplace
safety.
As a matter °f fact, the road Is
ssfe enough In spttp of the fantastic
flavor about the whole undertaking.
Knglneers, many of them, said It
could be done, but the best of them
said the plain was perfectly feasible,
though tremendously difficult. To

number two was furnished by the
lively little Insect that bores holes
In the wood In those parts. Wood
was ruled out In many of the places
It fills satisfactorily In the north.
These troubles overcome by the lib
eral use of cement. It remained only
for the railroad to feel Its way
through a practically unexplored
country, and to lay Its roadbed In the
swamp and forest tangic-s. This It Is
doing now. with armies of men In
different spots along the line that
leads from Miami to Key West.
Follow the road below Miami
(which until recently was the "Jump-
Ing-off place" of civilization In
Florida) and you will find, miles In
among the everglades, a little village
of white tents, the dwelling place of
workers on section one. Kverythlng
Is neat, orderly, well-disciplined. It
must be so, If men value their lives
working under the scorching sun In
among the water-prairies. A big
cement cistern looms up among the
tents, for there Is no water fit to
drink In the everglades, and every
drop of the rainfall ts precious. Fall
ing that, tanks arc brought down
from Miami. The hospital tent Is sup
ervised by an alert physician. There
Is no rhaplaln attaened to these ar
mies, but Sunday services are regu
larly held and there Is no dearth of
exhorters.
Farther down, among the keys,
other regiments are camped and
these sre better off. for rool sea
breezes blow and swamps are fewer.
Nearby Is anchored a houseboat, not
the abode of pleasure-seeking wealth,
hut the simple house of a superin
tendent. who travels snail-like., car
rying his house with him from key to
key. Great dredgers scoop up the
soft rock and pound it into hits
while enormous rollers press into a
smooth read, the hardest kind of road
In the world. Scores of boats ply up
and down —It would hardly be inac
curate to say hundreds, for there
must be nearly two hundred in all.
There are the Dig dredgers and pile
drivers laying the foundations of th«
piers, there are big steamers carrying
laborers and materials, there are
busy little despatch boats rushing
madly about on important errands,
there are rowboats Innumerable do
ing everything that rowboats can do.
The wild birds have left the keys for
more secluded «spots.
And In many other ways does this
wonderful enterprise mean something
more than a witching fairy (ale. Be
cause of this noad from America soon
to enter these, railroads are going tip
all over Cuba, business enterprises
formerly confined to Spain are now
being Inaugurated in the islands, and
England is beginning to take a fresh
interest in the colonies in their neigh
borhood. At present, there is an im
mediate assurance of quick passen
ger and mail service; but there is no
gauging the possibilities thus held out
for the fruit truck and other indus

On the beautiful courts of the Coun

of enthusiastic lovers of the game and
on an afternoon that might properly

Tennis Tournament was opened on
yesterday afternoon. The sprinkle of
rain that fell during the early part of
the afternoon served only to allay the
dust, a cloud obscured the sun and a
gentle breeze dispelled all semblance
of extreme warmth. It was a most
auspicious opening and the good at
tendance on yesterday is sure to in
crease as the tournament progresses.
The out of town players who were
expected to arrive were unable to do
so, but Messrs. B. M. Grant and Nat
Thornton of Atlanta arived in the city
last night and will be in the game to
day. The Messrs. Rodgers of Knox
ville, Tenn., will arrive in the city to
night and will enter the tournament
tomorrow, and Mr. Cowan Rodgers

that he now possesses as champion
