THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND. TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 12, 1909. si SEA Mil! COACH There Is a Boad That Isto Stretch )Eroni Isle to. Isle for 12G Miles Over Salt Water- .Wonders of Key West Bail Line. Bjr FREDERIC J. HASKTX. 7 (Copyright. 190. by Frederic J. Haskln.) Knjght's Key, Flar, Jan. 18, tiolns to una in a railroad train! .It Is a novel sensation to get comfortably: nettled on a campatool on : the rar platform of a railroad train, run right Off the tiP end -Ot the continent, vault green sea channels from. 1h land to inland, and make one's way. across territory that ne tned once to have beert reserved; for ever for Dlghtaeeing schooners, to the port of Knight'B Key, which port is out in the ocean with the nearest land some thing like a mile away. It la interesting , to watch from the rear platform the land fading away; fading until it seems that it soon will be lost to sight and that the only con nection with the holld earth are the two steel ribbons stretching baok toward the continent of North America. , But the jumps are not long. Just as one is About to come to the realisation that he is railroading on the open sea. the train reaches another inland and plunges into the heart of a riotous tropical forest. TO Say Wsst in Two Trs. This railroad is absotutelyvjinlque. There Is nothing like It anywhere, and the chances are that there never will be. for there Isn't any other place .where it rould be built. iJook at a good map of Florida. Stretching away from the southeasternmost point of the peninsula in a regular curved to the southwest is a chain of smalt Islands called the Flor ida Keys. The Islands are all long and narrow and for two thirds of the way to Key west they He in tne generai di-k-ectlon of east and west.' At Knight's Key thereMs a longer jump than usual. and after the wide channel is crossed the keys lie in a general direction of north and south. The railroad to Key "West has been completed to Knight's Key. within 40 miles of Key West, and much work has been done west of here. The import ant link in the uncompleted chain is the eight mile inmp from Knight's Key to 'the next island over Bahla Honda, or Deep Bay. This work will soon be resumed ana witnin id montns or two years the railroad will be completed to Key West, now the largest city in the I'nlted States without railroad connec tion. Cost 9)00.000 a Mil. When It is completed it will mean that Henry M. Flagler has expended some thing like (15.000.000 to build 1S4 miles of railroad from Miami to Kev,West, an average of nearly 1109,000 ar mile. It will mean a vast extension of the semi tropical agricultural lands of the Uni ted States, placing the rich Florida Keys within striking distance of the fruit markets. It will mean a great deal to the people of Key West. Many of Its 20.000 people will see a railroad train for the first time when this extension makes its final leap over the sea and lands upon the island upon which Key West Is built It will mean a much closer connec tion between the United States and Tuba than has ever existed. Think of being able to take a Pullman car In Roston or Chicago or New York and run ning straight through to Havana! That Is what the new railroad will do. Knight's Key Is the temporary mid-ocean port from which ships now sail daily to Havana. It is nothing but a wharf out in the sea. There Is a postoffice, a hotel and a few houses, all built on the wharf. The unique feature of the hotel is that there is a great fish trap beside the kitchen window filled with all sorts of salt water fish. One looks them over and selects the piece do resistance of his dinner while it is still swimming in Its native element It Is 110 miles from Miami to Knight's Key and no other similar length of railroad in the world presents such a varied and interesting roadside panorama. leaving Miami one travels for 28 miles southward along the ridge of the pineland peninsula which is a portion of the eastern shore of the BACK TO STAGE FOB IS. MB Unless She and ; Her Hus 7 band Patch Up Their Troubles. Cn!t Press Leased Wln.i San Francisco, Jan. 12. Mrs. Maude Evans, divorced wife of Naval Construc tor Holden A.. Kvans, is considering the offer of a prominent New York theatric al manager to-appear In the eastern metropolis. Mrs. Evans refused to dis close, the identity, of the theatrical man and Would hot say. whether she would accept the offer. As a .result of her 12 years' experience In naval society circles Mr. Evans has gathered con siderable insight into the domesticity of the service. Among her aphorisms are uie ronowing: "There are few large families in the navy set the life is conducive to race suicide." "A naval officer should marry a rich girl." . "I have always found the navy ' wo men to be cordial and friendly." 'The fashionable side of navy life may look very fine, but fb those behind the scenes it presents a very, very differ ent view." " "The social life of a navy woman at a station is quite restricted unless one has the same tastes that the other wo men have." "At Mare Island navy yard there are morei elaborate entertainments given than at other stations where I have lived." "Naval officers believe Jt is nart of their duty to their flag to have their families make a eood social atmearanc&. but that is difficult on the salaries paid." Jnrs. h-vans was for several years on the London Btage before she met lieu tenant Evans. She Is most familiar to English theatregoers in "The School Girl" and "The Gaiety Girl." Her father is i Kngllsh comedian of note. The possibility of a reconciliation, though distant, is not entirely Isqking. Lieutenant Kvans called in his former wife yesterday afternoon after an inter locutory decree of divorce had been granted him. and remained In conference with her for several hours. following a consultation at Mare Is land yard it was decided that no offi cial charges will be brought against Lieutenant F. W. Osborn, the "boy" In the case. his iiamuer out for t. r. 11. A. Jastro of Bakersfield Forced Out of Club for Disrespect. BEGGAR REFUSED ; ALMS, SHOOTS Robert Hiiliard, English man, Badly Wounded in Central Park. ; (United Tress Leased Wire.) Bakersfield, C&l., Jan. 12. Commodore II. A. Jastro, leader of the Democratic party here, member of President Roose velt's" national conservation commis sion and head of the Kern County 'Land company, is no longer a member of the Bakersfield club. The resignation of Jastro followed a hau ,a9 Mifiniintfiti Via tt n .-i In.t' n i vh t at the club banquet with . John McWil-J Pressed the muale against his breast Hams, a Chicago banker. . McWilliamsl and fired. Hilllard s ' clothing was was one of the most difficult nortlons of the road to build, from the engi neer's standpoint. But to the eye of the traveler on the rear platform of a Pullman it Js all strangely beautiful and beautifully strange. Again, there Is a little stris of drv ground, with real trees and real arrass. and then the train leaves the mainland. The channel between the mainland and Key Largo is so narrow that one would pay no more attention to it than to crossing a tiny river on an ordinary railroad If the passengers were not told that they were running off the conti nent. Key Largo is the largest of the whole system of islands, 'being 40 miles in length, but the railroad traverses only about 15 miles of the distance. Here the right-of-way is out through a dense forest of strange and beau tiful trees. Here and there one comes upon a clearing, a grove of grape fruit or a banana plantation. "Sunken Island." The jumps from key to key become longer and longer, the water in the channels becomes greener and greener, and the sensation of being out to sea is deepened. " Kach key has its own pecu liarity and the vista is always chang ing. At one place there Is a deep cut through a limestone hill and for a few moments it Is impossible to believe that the whole railroad and train and all has not been carried back to Ohio or New York state by some work of magic. , Here Is the quarry where ie stone for the roadbed Is obtained, and whlch'i is one of the most important -features of the construction work. This key is sometimes called Sunken Island, for what reason no man knows unless it is that the Island is the highest in the whole chain. When the peonage charges against this railroad, later dismissed s having no foundation, were being inves tigated, one of the complaints empha sized by h lawyer who had not been here was that the poor laborers were forced to work up to their necks In water on "Sunki-n Island." When it was brought to his attention that the Sunk en island complaint was .from quarry workers, he almost collapsed. Home of the Cocoanut. After crossing five keys the train comes to a stop at Long Key and the during the dinner casually commented upon , tne Roosevelt-l inmari senatorial row. jastro is sum to nave retorted with a disparaging remark about Presi dent Roosevelt. This drew from McWllliams the declaration that '"any man who speaks of .the ' president of the United States like that la no gentleman." Jastro sprang to his feet and flipped a napkin in MWilliams' face. The Chicagoan sprang at Jastro. but friends Interfered and a combat was averted. Major ' Rice, a leading banker and member of the club, then remarked that he would resign if Jastor's action was allowed to go unrebuked. Jastro thereupon withdrew to an ante room and wrote his resignation from the club. NO BOOM FOB THE GLAD HAND MAN (United Press Leased Wlr.l Salem, Or., Jan. 13. Undesirable citi zens are not to be allowed Inside the rail of the house this year if the reso lution of Representative Dlmick is fa vorably reported by the committee 6n resolutions. During the past sessions it has been the habit of the house to pass a reso lution each session limiting those per sons on the floor ot the house to the regularly employed clerks and ot her as sisting in Its business and to those who are invited inside by the vote of the house. This session the same resolution, has been introduced. It Is not the Idle for mality that it was however. Members of the legislature do not want all sorts of lobbyists and men with axes to grind besieging them on the floor of the house. For this reason a sneclal effort will be made not only to pass the resolu tion, but to restrict the eligible list to those who ought to be allowed inside as guests of the house. Apparently there Will be a large "down and out" club in attendance at the present session. SALE SEALETTE COATS At Z.es Than One .Half Wholesale Cost.

STATE PRINTER NEARLY SWAMFED (Special Dtupatrh to The Jnrn!. Salem, Or., Jan. 12. Congestion stares the state printer's, office in the face a usual at opening of a legislative session. The secretary of state is late In getting hiii copy to'the printer ow ing to navmsr to close so many ac counts on last of year. Other officials. however, are late without adequate cause, and state printers office is glutted. A riooa or resolutions and bills are now flowing into Dunlway's office from senate and house, snowing it un der. Both houses will be compelled to adjourn tomorrow or Thursday in or der to allow bills to be printed before they can be considered on second read ing. Mr. Dunlway says his office will be able to catch up by Monday. GRAND JURY WILL PROBE "WET" TRAFFIC Pendleton. Or., Jan. 12. The dryness of Pendleton became painful yesterday when the circuit court opened the Jan uary term with the selection of a grand jury, which it is rumored will devote considerable time to the investigation of alleged violations of the prohibition law. Frank Snyder was chosen foreman. Wil liam Mckenzie, Arthur Scott. George 1,'ockburn, H. J. Bell. C. A. Perkins and J. W. Muir, all farmers, were chosen as Jurors. AS the last session of the grand Jury resulted In 300 indictments ot liquor violators most of the "blind pigs" quit and It Is not believed that the present session will have such a sensational result.

This part of the journey re veals nothing but pine trees, as yet un touched by the turpentine hunter, with the undergrowth of scrub palmetto, iust what one would see 400 miles farther north. Suddenly the whore aspect Is changed. The pines and palmettos are left be hind and there is a wide open place, a prairie, covered with rich waving grass and studded over with tiny clumps of trees, it looKs like Kansas. But. In reality it is the famous and mysterious Kverglades. It is Just a tiny corner, Ijut it Is as much as the eye ran take in. And here Is the great water station, where the pure Everglades water Is pumped -into tanks to be carried away In tank cars and on tank ships for the men who are building this railroad over the keys, and to whom the fresh water question is a most vital onP. manning Off ths Continent. Gradually the Everglades grass gives fades Into a thicket of closely packed shrubbery. The land that ia beneath Is a mere mockery of solid earth. The wpldery roots , of the mangroves flud their places in the shifting, slimy, un certain muck that covers the rock foun dation of Florida. The water is still clear, but it Is greenish and brackish be cause of sea water coming In.

The railroad station is built in the center of one of the largest and most beautiful cocoanut groves in the world. Leaving Long Key the train runs out on the great spectacular concrete via duct with which this railroad is associ ated in all the illustrations. It is the longest viaduct of tho whole system, and will be. for the eight mile jump at Bnhia Honda Is all over shallow water except one mile. This Long Kev via duct Is more than two miles long. Its beautiful arches are anchored flrmlv to ihe solid rock of the bed of the ocean and they bear the railroad track iull 30 feet above the highest water level. On this viaduct the train carries ono straight away from land, and to the man -on the rar platform the sensation of riding on an ocean-going railroad has come at last. The train runs slowlv that everybody may see. The low flat scrap of land which Is caned Long Key iaaen wy until one can see only the suggestion of waving tops of the cocoa nut palms. In another moment, one thinks, the trala will be out of sight of land. Then the train dashes onto an other Island and the whole Illusion Is spoiled. Reams have been written about the engineering feat -of building this rail road. Knglneers have come from all over the world to Investigate and ad mire. But now that the train runs over It every day it Is no longer the properry or tne engineer. It Is no Innarer a construction problem; It Is a railroad, and Its chief interest In the future will be that of the things which the ordinary man will see from the rear platform..
