Adory to Five-Miie Creek. e. Q. D.l a storage reservoir must bs built at the hendwaters of Five-Miie Creek. but even with that 1t is doubtfui IT the canal car ba operated throughout the year. If however, the work IS confined nt present to canaiizine Val ley River ard building storage reser- voirs. which can also be ussd as ioau, ing basins. the savings on freight VIII be enough to build up a large export trade, and can answer that the pro ject is both feasible and advisable
 Comment by Engineer Ripley.
 sThe freight traffic through the ca- nal will be principally coal, pig ana manufactured iron, chert gravel ana cotton all down bound and will prop. ably amount to 100000 tons tne nrst year after opening the canal and then rapidly increase to the limit or io'- 100000 tons.r
 MT. Ripley then goes on to show that the cost of trnnsporttng by water one ion of pig iron to Mobile at one mill per ton per mile is such that $62o,oee would be saved in each year on a ship- ment of 100000 tons. by comparison with the cheapest possible rah rates if able ts. handle the shipments tall.
 The e. nal from the mouth of Valley River to McAdory near Birmingham would take eleven years to construct, if dependent upon supplies hoated rc as the work progressed from lock 70 lork. if. however paralleling con struction railroad were brought Into existence enabling work to go on as mary points simultaneously, the canal ,uid be comrleted in three years.
 Therefore, "Birmingham to the Gulf" awa.ts ouiy concerted pressure to be- come fact before the Panama Canal ts opened.

 Comments by Major Rossel1.
 The improvement desired and to decide the feasibility and advisabilfty of which this survey Is made. has for It's subject the ultimate forming of waterway with all-the-year-round na- vigation from the coal iron and lime regions of Central Alabama to tide- water at Mobile, Ala The Birmingham district which today probably dictates the price of pig-iron to the world Is the objectfve.r H3f
 aTh ere is no question as to the fea- sibiiity of building this line, and the only question Is as to the feasibility or operating 1t; that is, Is there enough water available for this purpose? At the time of the survey. all streams were very low and there had been a long-continued drought The amount of water then in the Valley River at the summit level of this part was not enough to operate the canal so that 1t will be necessary to make q storage reservoir .-at or near McAdory The valleys ct that point are very favor able for that purpose. Two days are recommended which. together, will em- pound enough water to supply the ca nal for three months without rain. In the canal proper tthst Is north Of Me-

reach and utilize them.
 The answer to the problem Is "Wa- ter" The railroads cannot do the moving of our crude wealth; they are already overloaded moving finished products or perishable growths. They are doing their share in the develop ment of Alabama as well as possible under the strain of excess tonnage and short equipment. They cannot and do not solve the problem of nearly eostless movement of coal. iron, from ore. building stone, logs. cement mate riale, etc. Unless some way, other than that of expensive railroading be found, Alabama will long remain short of it's full stature as migtr ty, produc- inG part of this mighty, productive na- ton.
 Nothing can compare with water In the noveF-failing and ever-repeattnG service il win render under control. Sustained by the buoy&Ht bosom of stream, the same horse-power required to move one train load of merchandise on land. can move twenty train loads on water. An engine that can pull SoV tons on land could move 5000 tons ou water, A ton of ore is hauled l,oee miles on the Lakes for 3bc and less than 900 miles by rail for soc.
 The fathers of this State long ago saw this water opportunity and they used the streams of the state during the time of considerable flow, but not at other times. Before railroads, they Aoated their products to Mobile trreg- uiarIy and uncertainty. Then cana q period when railFoads seemed to meet the greater part of the needs of the State; when it siunHbeysd on It's herts tage and the river traffic became . mere incident. It was the day when the things that grew were regarded as the sole important products of the State, tfen came the increasing im- portance of our inorganic wealth around Birmingham and elsewhere; and then at last q fuil-throated de- msnd for power through the Federal Government to chain and control our waterways for the development of an illimitabIe wealth. But this demand fnsistenf and persistent and spacious as 1t was, in many cases never meas uFed up to the full requirements of the lsttuatien and the reason is found in inhorn selflshness and shortsightedness and narrow interpretation of political duties. The development of the water ways became a matter of rtvalry--not rivalry in increasing tonnage, but ri- valry in spending appropriations with In given districts, separate and dis tinct from a statesman1ike view of the whole State and it's needs. That day is passing; perhaps has passed. and We approach a time of conservative states manaffp when che greatest good te the greatest number in the quickest possi-

 Although there are only three per- formances at the Montgomery Theatre this week these three are of the high est class. Rose Stahi and Amelia Bing- ham, well and favorably known te Montgomerians. are to be here, and lov- ers of the intensely absorbing drama will witness Parsifal. without music.
 Rose stahi comes with new play In which she has scored more or less success in New York. It is entitled "The Chorus Lady," and has to do with that class of gum chewing. slangy talking females so necessary to the production of the modern opera.
 Amelia Bingham, seen here last Tn aThs Lilac Room" has also found now play for herself in "A Modern Lady Gotiva.D Miss Bingham persists in going outside of the regular line or ulaywrights for her plots, possibly In the hope of securing a real success :. ghe has received great praise of her work and of the play in which she ap- pears.
 Parsifal, which is to be presented here. is not the grand opera production which many might be led to believe. ii is presented here at an advanced prfce. however, and with the princi- pals of last seasons company. It IS a dramatization of the WaEnerian op- era in English, and has been highly commended.

It is m four acts, the first of which is plac, Ad at the home of Patricia O'Brien, Pa~ tricia's father, and q trainer In charge Of racing stables. The second, which has created something of q sensation, shows the dressing room of a theatre while members of the chorus are max. ing up for an evening performance. Int third act takes place in the apartments of Dick Crawford. a bachelor, and the fourth is at the boarding house of Pa tricia O'Brien and her slater Nora
 In the first act Patricia has just reached home after the company with which she Is playing, The Moonlight Maids" suffers financial distress. Well informed as to the ways of the world
  CTS that Dick Crawford. owner of racing stable. Is exerting too strong an influence over her young sister, and she decides to take the girl away with her and secure her a position in the chorus
 Tn the dressing room scene It devei- ops that the sister has been followed by the man who has induced her to ao- cept money from him and give In re- turn a note to which she has forged her fathers name. Patricia learns of this and goes to Crawford's apartments thinking she will find her sister there. and hoping to get the note from the wealthy bachelor. Patricia's lover, Dan Mallory. trainer of race horses, fol- lows here there and in one Of the Strongest scenes of the play Patricia shoulders all the suspicion attached to her being found in Crawford's room in order to save the name of her sister.
 If is saidsthat in contrast to the title. "The Chorus Lady" is play that has hidden behind vein of excellent com adv. a strong moral teaching and story true tol the characters the plot presents.
