of the government work are preparing specifications now to present tao the government pertaining to the building of fifteen locks between Wetmuka and Riverview so the water course will be navigab1e from Mobile on the Gulf of Mexico to Rome. Ga.
 Montgomery merchants are talking of the one boat week that comes to the city and speaking of Its possibili- ties.
 Five Boats on Coosa. At present there are in operation on
 the Coosa river five steamers, plying between Riverview, Ala. and Rome.
 Ga. They are getting enough business
 to keep them busy.
 The engineers say the installation of | the locks between Wetumpka and Riv- erview will have two decided effects:
 The first Is that they will make Rome, | Ga, and all the towns between 1t and | the Gulf. gulf ports. In one county, | through which the Coosa river passes. there is a strip thlrty-five miles long and 400 feet wide, reaching to a depth
 immeasurable. of the finest marble in | the world. There Is enough there, | quarryable. to supply the whole world with marble for years. Besides the marble, there is both red and grey Iron ore, in quantities beyond | calculation, great deposits of beuxite. [ from which alu,ninum is made, and
 many other minerals. There Is enough
 heavy freight available to keep ten
 steamers busy for the next century. The other advantage of the installa- l tion of the locks, besides assuring a nine foot channel in the river all the | year around. Is that the reserve wa l ter. falling 400 feet, can be 'harnessed" | and so develop an electric power that
 will furnish driving power and lights
 for every home and manufactury in the | State. as

 local branch of the United States Engi-

This tree marked the landing point of the Hudson Bay company fur traders in 1924 and surveys of the surround ing country started from it.

4 SEVEN YEAR WALK
 FOR WAGER Sl2,0OO
The Task Which a War Correspond ent Has Set For Himself.

St Paul. Minn., June 30.-Charles Addington King, war correspondent who served through the BOer war, the RusSian-Japanese war, and dur ing the Spanish-American war, has been conveyed out of St. Paul by local sportsmen and will reach Chi cago at noon on July 8, homeward bound on a wager with the publishers of the Strand magazine of London to complete a journey on foot from Port Arthur, Manchuria around the world and back to Port Arthur in seven years. He has already walked 56, 900 miles, and left St Paul under a second wager to complete the St Paul New York section of his world circling trip in seventy days or forfeit $500.
 King made his original start from London, travelling on foot through Europe, and making the long journey through Russia, Siberia and Manchu- ria to Port Arthur before starting on his world tour His original wager specifics the course he is to take and after crossing the United States to New York, King will sail for Rio de Janiero, to cross South America on lbOl 10 Lima 9eTu. thence SdllulB for Australia, crossing from Melbourne to Perth and back to sydney on foot, from which point he will ship to Cape Town, working northward through Africa on foot to some Mediterranean port, thence crossing to Europe and working back through Turkish terri tory to Russia and again across Si- beria to Port Arthur.
 'I am now seven months ahead of my schedule" King said on leav- ing St Paul or in other words, I am 5000 miles to the good. I have full seven years to complete my tour, this period being settled by agreement at the time I completed the wager with the representatives of the New ness interests of London before leaV- ing Port Arthur. Seven years is more time than is actually necessary, and makes allowance for accidents, sick ness and other unavoidable delays. l have had some experience of that al ready.

detective stories. But we advise our readers to try the series on the ~psy- chologist detective" now running in Hampton's magazine if they want something really new in the criminal catching line. Edwin ,Balmer and Vim. B. MacHarg have hit upon the novel idea of using as detective material various devices found in psychological laboratories-devices which automati- cally detect emotion, guilt, abnormal ity. etc The way in which the hero of the series, a character named Luther Trant employs these devices is vivid. entertaining, and stimulating. It is by far the best lot of detective stories that has come to our attention in years.
