New Lumber industries In Alabama and Exports Through the Port of Mobile. Sullivan-Alger Syndi-
 cates' Plant at Flomaton.

Local representatives of lumber manu- lecturers say that demand for this pro- duct is heavy and that list prices are pretty well maintained in the Birming- ham district The prices are not SO stiff elsewhere. The mills sell their output as fast as they can cut it and still the de- mand goes unsatisfied.
 A number of new mills are projected ana others are building in different parts of the State. The following letter from Mobile to the New Orleans Lumber Trade Journal tells of several big deals in South Alabama:
 Reports have reached this city of large developments to be made by the Sullivan Alger syndicate, of which much has been written of late. Some time ago they were apart, but they have patched UP tbetr differences and 1t is now reported that they will build on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, at a point about two miles south of Flonlaton, Ala, double hand saw mill plant, each band to be double cutter. It is expected that this plant viii have daily capacity of 2s0, 000 feet They will also build logging road, sixty miles long, of which about twenty miles will be built at once, and they will erect at Molina, Fla, a car factory of large capacity,
 George E. Kettles, formerly of Jackson, Ala, but now merchandising at Putnam has recently purchased in this city the machinery for complete hard wood mill, which he will construct on the Big bee river, about four miles from Put nam.
 The work of removing sunken logs and deadheads from the channel of the river Is progressing very favorably and up to date there have been removed in the neighborhod of 200 logs and pieces of square timber. These sunken logs had become menace to the commerce of this port and the work of their removal was undertaken by public subscription and is now being prosecuted by the fund raised for that purpose.
 The appropriation for work on the ship canal of Mobile bay has been ex- hausted and the work stopped. There will be no more work done until another appropriation becomes available and a new contract is made. Major Rossel thinks this cannot be done before the 1st of May if everything moves smoothly and the appropriation is made immediately available
