Whatever helrs Mobile helps Ala bama. This Is proposition to which avery one can subscribe. whom 1t Is re- membered that Mobile is our only sea port and that in addition to being reached by railroads from the interior of the State. 1t has the splendid Ala
 bama and Warrior and Blgbee rivers to carry produce and merchandise to and from its wharves. No city is better lo- cated to obtain the benefits to flow
 from the digging of the Panama Canal. and no city can better help the trans portation interests of Alabama people
 h the way of all water route from New York to many, distributing points in the
 State.
 These thoughts are suggested by the recent publication in The Mobile Reg ister of an admirable letter written by Capt. A. c. Danner on the Mobile Chan mel. and the proposition to get chan mel of uniform twenty-seven feet depth. The Register in commenting on this letter says:
 Captain Banner shows that the board or engineers has hardly been fair to our port the reasons given for reject ing the 27-foot plan not being sound. In fact, the channel improvement, so far from being unstable. has been re-
 ssooy dept h hnn las s Ie Sa expected to be so of chanel but four feet deeper. The Register altogether agrees with Captain Banner that the of the country justifies closer study of the harbor work than the board of en- gineers has given it. and that Congress should act in this matter according to better information than the board pro- vides. This especially seems warrant ed by the fact that the government en- gineer who lives here and has made e0ss stHd s7oo o ns it ible. The Register trusts that our sem ators and Representatives will not let this great work suffer on account or Is any information they desire so that they may act with best intelligence, there viii be no .dificuity or delay in furnishing It; in fact, Captain Danner's statement might alone be accepted as full explanation of the issue and wise recommendation as to what ought to be done.
 far in the path of commercial progress to suffer any backset by reason of a misunderstanding of the situation here. It is incredible that Congress should ina care of our great and growing in- tereSts.
 Mobile Is entitled to what is asked by Captain Danner and the commercial interests in the city Not only that, all and we hope our Senators and Repre- sentatives will make long pull and a strong pull to secure it

 Elba Clipper.
 Hon. H. l.. Martin spoke at the court house Monday just ahead of MT. Conner. Martin said many good things of MT. Conner. who though he spoke after wards, failed to return in kind.
 MT. Martin displayed much physical and vocal vigor in his speech as well as a, choice lot of smutty language. a sample of which can not be here pub o- the feelings of our readers, and the fact that newspapers containing oo- scene matter are barred from the mails.
 Mir. Martin complimented The Clip per by coupling it with The Montgom-. by assuming that The Advertiser had paid any attention to him. He assert ed in emphatic language the superla-- tive degree of untruthfulness attained by The Clipper and The Advertiser, and then Illustrated it with a tale that would do credit to some place other than the musings. the pulpit, the court room. or the home. Other anecdotes some handled the name of Deity with a familiarity that strained the fraga- bility of one of the precepts of the decalogue.

 When Thomas A.

 Bell subscriber in Montgomery can today sit in his home and talk to almost any city in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains. This is made possible by the uniformity of the Bell system and the high class equip ment and thorough mastery of detail which has been brought about by long experience and by the expenditure of millions of dollars.

- Dear old Montgomery has at last got ten a move on itself and has a thor ough organization intensely at work to increase it's population to 100000 by 1910.

An Ogden dispatch says:
If reports are true, the quarantine
that has heretofore existed against
Utah sheep entering other states, is
soon to be raised. 1t is reported from
an authoritative source that the
"scabies" heretofore affecting the
sheep has been almost totally eradi-
Gated, but a few spots remaining in the
southern part of the state. The rais-
ing of the ban will take effect soon
and will mean much to the sheep own
ers of the state, as it will do away
with the necessity of federal inspec-
ton of the flocks seeking to enter
Idaho or any other surrounding state.
The announcement is received by
local sheepmen with much much jubi-
lation, as 1t will put an end to the
controversy and litigation that has
been going on between them and the
state of Idaho over the admission of
their flocks into that state, which has
cost Utah sheepowners so many thous-
ands of dollars.
