 The mere fact that some unpromis- ing town desires to get on the line will not insure that community a place. Proven estimates of profit. examples of land production. and moderate prices for real estate will have to be "Missouried" before the town wishing to get into the new pro- ject will be given the slightest con alteration.

 There is no direct corporation form ed ct present to build the whole sys- tenn or operate one when 1t is built. but 1t is believed by the thinking men of all towns concerned that the advent of the city street car system in Trey is the nerve center of the electrical leviathan that will lift Southeastern Alabama into the niche in the commer- cial affairs of the United States that the potentIalities of the section of the state demand.

line them up when sent aboard re- constructed and in tip-top shape. may add here that the Ruins wheel house had been erected to accommo- date forty-odd feet wheels In diameter but when 1t came to setting the cylin- der timbers for the bed plates and engines the Pegram brothers ordered another change. They concluded to cut down component measurements in this respect, fearing the weakened condition of the cylinder from boring could not stand the greater strain of such a resistance of water wheels as first intended. It was decided to short- en wheel arms nine inches all around and arrange shaft bearings to suit, thus narrowing the width or buckets and giving less dip.
 Soon after the Ruth went into com mission serious trouble was encounter eJ with her wheels, which. under free steam made fully twenty revolutions per minute. This velocity was too great for the build and the fittings worked loose from fiange and stirrup posts throwing at times a freed arm or bucket through the splash door openings or bulkheads. causing con- siderable damage and making 1t dan gerous to be about. The Pegrams were good men, but conservative. and had some old fogy Ideas. and but for this mistake. which they never cor rected, would have had a lightning craft. After a short season they sold out to the Atlantic and Mississippi Packet Company, summing a fine line of boats from St. Louis to New Or leans.

Cannon was go- ing around with about a loose half million in his possession and grew eovetous of the Magenta that he could not buy so up to New Albany he comes and orders plans for new boat superior in speed and appoint ment. Over at St. Louis the Pegram brothers, George and Rush had also caught the fleetwood fever, and they at once snapped up the big H. R. w.. Hill, a fast boat in her best days. and took her above the falls to Jeffer- sonville, where she was disInantled. and then they built the magnificent Ruth out of her. Now the two ship yards were worked overtime in the construction of these floating palaces. each department, respectively intenl- ing to eclipse the other in turning out a better all-around craft for no price of cost was made by any of the inte- rested parties, but orders given and received. to spare no expense what ever.
 'Finally the Ruth was launched some time ahead of Captain Cannon's boat, that he named Robert E, Lee. in honor of the Southland's martial chief tain. The latter boat was entirely new from keelson streak to chimney tops, while the Ruth had the machinery of the Harry Hill, mentioned. These cylinders were originally thirty inches in diameter. ten feet stroke. but due to wear from former long usage had worn out of true.

When finished she was beautiful sijewheeler, with motor power enough to run a small battle ship many knots per hour; the plans seemed perfect. and I can say that the brothers mentioned were pretty proud of their combined superintend- ency and workmanship in her general construction and finish. They were Southern symathizers and mutualty chose the name of Richmond for the boat at first. while her big, deep toned brazen bell had that name. inscribed when cast with care, but some of those hot-headed border In- dianians, with copper-head ideas. said if so named the boat would be burned ance, ar turned a wheel; so. at the eleventh hour. mark you, the name was changed, and then she was called after a celebrated thoroughbred trott- ing race horse that had just won re- noWn and hung up record for speed in harness. The great boat cleared the Portland wharf on the day of the surrender. and at once entered the Memphis trade out of New Orleans; she proved very fast Jas expected, and made everything then afioat take the bank when she came along under full speed and carrying about 200 pounds steam pressure to the square inch.

good wagon roads that will web the State with easy freight transportation that will mean such an era of pro gress as this part of the country has never known.
 There are several towns in Southern Alabama today that have more water power available than can be found In the big hydro-electric manufacturing centers of the East and it won't cost much to develop 1t.
 That the Panama Canal Is an emory onic fact Is obvious. the country has gone too far to turn back. and at the last report 1t was said that nearly half the excavation had been done and that the Canal would be in operation by 1915.
 Unless the traveller leaves the rail- roads at the stations along the roads of Southern Alabama and takes trip into the surrounding country. no idea can be gotten of the wealth Of the ter ritory. Invariably. as has been said. the railroads have stuck to the easiest going to save construction expense. ana left the ardourous haul to the draft anImals to reach the railroads. NOW tbe nlan is to run the electric cars through the country where the land IS rich. extending little and little at time, and opening up with quick inter communication the great fertile lanos and general wealth of the southern part of the State.

Colonization is tho watch word of the movement and only those towns that show a readiness to place land on the market at reasonable prices will be touched, and the matter so arranged that 1t will be impossible for one per son or body of persons to buy up the land and sell again at exhorbitant prices.
 So enthusiastic have some of tho communities become over the new line that they are offering to build good roads in their sister counties to hasten the populating of the territory.
 But agriculture will not be the only result of the quick communication scheme, the advent of two great stock foods will go far to promoting the cattle raising industry that this profitable business Is expected, in the territory effected. to give agriculture. what is slangily termed: "a run for It's money"
 It is now obvious to the farmer that if he can make three to four hundred dollars an acre on hogs. 1t Is better to do that than be content with from twenty to fifty dollars an aero with cotton or corn.
