Canal Company Sold A Few Minutes After Books Opened ('Second Article of a Series). Dissatisfied with -the Apalachi- cola Land Company, which haa filed application .with the United States government for 1,250,000 acres of land in middle Florida which included the town of Ap- alachicola, already started by im- migrants who had settled in the disputed, area, a number of Ap- alachicolans decided to found a town on St. Joseph's Bay to es- cape the jurisdiction of the hated company which had pending in the supreme court a case to decide title to the huge acreage involved. Even before the decision of the supreme court was given, the Lake Wimico & St. Joseph Canal Com- pany had been incorporated by the legislative council of Florida t connect the lake with the bay. Now the work was rapidly pushed. n1 May. 1835, parties, were dispatched to explore the lake and, naturally, their reports were very. favorable.. Another party began sounding the channel of the bay. At about the same time surveyors started to lay out the new townn .which was to -be called St. Joseph. The plan of the place provided for wide streets, "in order to give a free circulation, to the sea breezes," which would make it healthy and. salubrious. The streets were laid' out at right angles and had such characteristic names as Commerce, Bay, Palmetto, Magnolia. Washing- ton and, Columbus. The subscription books of the canal company were opened June 13 at Apalachicola, and In a few minutes the entire stock war taken. It is significant that the Apalachicolans held three eighths of the stock, the merchants of Co- lumbus, Ga., another three-eighths, while remaining quarters were bought by Tallahasseeans. This shows clearly the chief In- terests backing the 'project. In ad- dition to the discontented resi- dents of the old town, the support of the commercial powers of west- ern Georgia was a potent factor In the development of St. Joseph. We can readily imagine why they were interested. Their investments In Apalachicola were threatened by the decision of the federal tri- bnnal and. hence their feelings were similar to those of the rest- dents of that city. The purchase of one-quarter of the stock by per- sons in Tallahassee proves that the venture was also a child of the economic conditions then prevail- ing over the entire country. This was one of the recurring periods of intensive speculation and overdevelopment, which econ-" omists now recognize as one of the phases of a business' cycle. F'-erywhere there was a wild orgy of real estate development, aided by cheap paper money issued by 'banks with enormous capitals. The chief financial institution of Flor- ida was the Union Bank, with head- quarters at Tallahassee. With its large apparent assets, any project which interested its stockholders was bound to be E success, even if tempo :;:y and 'fictitious. The interest of the banks in St. Joseph Is. oftea brought to light.. (Contlnuaed on Page 2) PAGE 'IWO THE STAR, PONT ST. JOE. OULF.CQUNTV..

In the same year, Ben Chaires, a banker and ,planter of Tallahassee, was president of the Lake Wimico -& St. Joseph Canal & Railroad Company.. This close connection between the banks and the town must always be. remem- bered by those who wish .to un- derstand its history. The next steps taken 'by the pro- moters were the construction or a railroad from Lake Wimico to the bay, and the 'erection of terminal facilities at both ends. Towards the close of 'October, or at the very beginning of November, 1830, it was reported that 100 carpenters and 20'i la,,or:,r- were employed on the railroad and that two or three hundred more .were daily expected from the north. . The exact .date of completion of the railroad is not known, but in an advertisement dated. August 13, 1836, it was announced that the Storage houses and wharf on Lake Wimico were completed, that those on the bay were almost, finished, and that the railroad with passen- ger, and freight cars and two im- proved Baldwin locomotives were ready for work. The formal opening of the new road probably occurred on Mon- day, September 5, 1836, for the newspapers of Florida and Georgia give an account of the events of that day thus: LOCOMOTIVES IN FLORIDA On Monday, the 5th. inst., a lo- comotive drawing a train of 12 cars containing upwards of 300 passengers passed over the rail- road connecting the flourishing town of St. Joseph with the Ap- aalch.icola 'River. The trip, a dis- tance of eight miles, was per- formed in the short space of 2b minutes. The engineer is conti- dent, from the superiority of the road and engine, that the route can be accomplished in eight minutes. (Third article next week) -K Miss Sara Gill, R.N., nurse at the local hospital, returned to' duty Tuesday from her home In Jasper, where she visited over the week-end. Mrs. G. K. Dorminy and chil- dren returned Tuesday from Plant City where she was called due to the illness of her mother. Mrs. W. L. Smith and children visited in Chattahoochee over the week-end. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Christmas spent Sunday in Wewahitchka, the guests of Mrs. Harriett Rowell. "Red" Higdon of the Merchant Marine passed through town last week, saying hello tb his many friends.
