| De enta1led to carry my idea 10 a con-
| cluslOn. l would suggest that about
i've hundred copies of the beautiful
panoramic views of the local harbor
be secured, and if necessary, make
the number larger. A copy Of these
views TO be presented gTatuitOusly to
each senator and member of the house
OF representatives. One particularly
attractive view in existence shows
eight battIeships, half a dozen smaller
naval vessels, and possibly thirty-f1vs
foreign vessels. One of the distinct
i've features Of this picture is the show
or such a magnificent anchorage, and
much unoccupied water space, even
enough, as claimed and pleasantly
boosted, to shelter the navies of the
world" An explanatory inscription m
few words could be placed on each
copy These views could be prepared
suitable for framing, and an inteli-
gent distribution of them will accom-
plish wonders. OF course a sufficient
number of them must be procured to

two greatest and most important ma

A proper representation having been
made, and success assured, the people
Of Pensacola should then devote them
selves heartily to another undertaking

bring this city prominently before the

wave of popularity and prominence
which will inevitably follow the re-
opening Of the navy yard, let us arise

tory will probably give the city total
Of $4,000. When the city is properly
advertised it will not be long before
people all over the country will begin
to have a feeling and a longing for
Pensacola.
Therefore, first of all, and forever,
settle the navy yard question in a
satisfactory manner; then, let the
