Deep Water Between
Pensacola and Milton.

One of the most Important move
ments inaugurated in this section IN
some time and one which, i success
full, will ultimately rebound greatly
10 the benefit of the commercial and
industrial interests of West Florida,
is the movement started by the bus1-
ness men of Milton and Bagdad to
secure a deep water channel between
Milton and Pensacola, and in which
they are being ably assisted by Pen
sacola shipping interests and the bust
ness public in general. The matter
has now taken the form of a petition
to Florida's next senator, Hon. Dun
can u. Fletcher, in which he Is urged
to make every endeavor to secure the
necessary appropriation after he takes
his seat in the United States senate.
The facilities for shipbUiiding and
the docking and repair of vessels
along the BIackwater river from Bay
Point to Milton are equal to those or
any section of the Gulf coast, and
with ample depth of water between
there is no question but that ship
building would become one of the
most important and lucrative o. Flor
ida industries. Even now the bust
ness is carried on upon an extensive
scale but, owing to the sballowness
of The channel in the river and
through Blackwater and East Bays,
only comparatively small vessels can
be constructed or taken to the dock
yards for repairs. As a consequence
much business that logically belongs
10 this section is diverted to other
gulf ports.
The present channel, at ordinary
tide. admits of the passage OF vessels
drawing about 10 feet. but such YES
sells must stick closely to the center
sells drawing over feet is considered
somewhat hazardous, and this may be
conservatively considered as the ca
pacity of the present channel, notwith-
standing the Fact that, in many places
and for considerable distances, the
Qepin OF water III INC ShdHHeA IS III
excess of feet
To provide a channel of sufficient
depth for ordinary vessels it is est
mated that the channel would have
to be dredged for about fifteen miles
but the nature of the bottom is such
that the work could be done at &
minimum cost Cor such work, which
the advantages secured would more
than doubly overbalance.
A reasonably deep channel betwee-
Pensacola and Bagdad is demanded
by commerce, and The Journal hope;
Mr. Fletcher will be successful il
any efforts he may make TO secure the
needed appropriation for the work.

About Dogs
and Hydrophobia.

1t is not in the spirit of Il told you
so" that The Journal says again that
there are too many dogs il this city
1t is not the fault of the city author1-
ties that dogs so abound. 1t is be-
cause so many people are fond of
dogs and want them about their
premises. Fortunately UP to the pres
ent time instances of rabies have been
rare in Pensacola and it is not GER
tain yet that the animal which BIZ
two persons last Friday was mad, Yet
the probabilities are that it was. The
danger of rabies is ever present
where there are dogs and the more
dogs the greater the danger.
L people generally knew by the ap-
pearance of their dog whether or not
he was developing symptoms of hydro
phobia the danger OF being biIten
would be greatly lessened as precau-
tons could be taken in time As per
tinent to the subject the following
from the Tampa Evening News is re-
printed:
Hydrophobia is in reality so rare
and so terrifying that its symptoms
and treatment are little understood.
AS a matter of fact, the commonly &C
cepted expression of madness in a
dog is often misleading. Tine real

Inc On1mPlon ADeohtmlnded Man,
A very absentminded pro- essional
man, with offices in Chestnut street
building, came downtown the other
day and discovered that he had left his
keys at home. The superintendent Of
the building let the absentminded man
into his office, but he was still as bad
of as ever. He could not get into his
desk or at his safe. He pondered lit
tie while over his dilemma; then he
decided to return home for the keys.
''Why not send messenger boy after
the keysY' was the thought that struck
him, but that was Immediately put out
Of the question by another thought to
the effect that the boy would not be
able to get in the house In case the
absentminded mans wife had left
home. THAT'S right; must 60 my

home he went, arriving at the very
door Of his house before it dawned
upon him that he without his keys was
as bad off as messenger boy, and the
poor mans wife had gone out all right.
ooh, hang it anyway" said the absent
minded man, II ought to have tele-
phoned her to wait for me! Why
didn't do that? Well, will go right
back to the Office and phone" And he
did. He phoned and phoned for some
time before he could understand why
his wife did not answer; then he gave
