Important Shipping Point.
Continuing. Maj. Cosby in his report to
Congress says:
AT time antedating this area of ex-
tensive shipments by railroads. Alexan-
dria was an important shipping point and
ranked with the leading ports OF the
south. The railroads at first took away
considerable of the business of the har-
Dor. but in the past few years this has
been steadily increasing. Statistics Of
trade for the calendar year 1906 have
been carefully compiled by Mr.. j. T..
Preston. secretary of the Chamber of
stantiaIly correct. They show total of
receipts of 19O.861 tons. valued at N.9O,-
545. and a total of shipments OF S7.78S
tons. valued at S1,228. 1O6. exclusive of the
teams and vehicles transported by the
Washington and Alexandria ferry line.
The principal articles Of commerce are
coal, fertilizer, glass. bottles. Ice. lumber,
oil. phosphate rock. railroad ties. sand.
wholesale groceries and general mer.
chandise. It is stated that few years
ago Alexandria was the sixth sugar mar
ket in the United States.
THE trade is carried on principally
with Washington, Baltimore. Norfolk.
New York, Boston, Maine ports, Nova
Scotia and Florida, though there is said
to be a considerable trade with Brazil.

Col. w. D. Lockwood. Corps Of En-

had draft Of from nineteen to twenty
two feet.

Historic and Honorable Past.
In a booklet Of information to present
and prospective manufacturers Secretary
Preston says. in part:
"Of all the cities in the United States
none possesses a more historic and hon
orable past or more solid foundation for
a bright and progressive future than
Alex andria, Va. Honored and splendid as
is the past, 1t Is OF the present and fu-
ture Of this city we would speak. Lo-
Gated midway between the north and
south, her six railroads and six steamer
lines afford quick and cheap access to the
large markets Of the north, south and
west.
.Alexandria aspires to be the work
shop for the nations capital; here the
manufacturer has no smoke law with
which to contend or hostile feeling to
overcome. Alexandria wants and well
comes the manufacturer, and desires to
see her city girdled with a belt of fac
tories utilizing and enjoying the wonder
full facilities she possesses. She now has
seventy-two manufactures In operation
others are coming and she wants more"

Special Correspondence of The star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star
ALEXANDRIA. Va. May II. 1909.
In the wake Of the homecoming week.
with it's dignitied demonstration and
southern sentimentality, there. has come
to Alexandria a watchword. which IL car
ried into practical effect may lead to re-
suits that will bring about genii-like
Transformation Of the quaint and ancient
city. The watchword was sounded today
by J. T. Preston, the hustling and enter-
prising secretary of the Alexandria
Chamber OF Commerce. when he said:
with Washington the prettiest city in
the world and Alexandra as q great
manufacturing center. the Importance OF
our joint locality will be enhanced to
greater degree than can be expressed in
mere words
The great object Of the thinking and
doing men of Alexandria at this time,
while the enthusiasm of the homecoming
is yet effervescing and giving the project
a stimulus, according to Mr.. Preston, is
to make Alexandria a manufacturing city
Of Importance, or ''the workshop of
Washington
Future of Alexandria.
'Tn carrying out that idea," the secre-
tary Of the chamber of commerce de-
clared, enthusiastically, 'lies the future
of Alexandria The District OF Columbia
does not want manufacturing plants,

Washington, as the Capital city of the
greatest nation on earth, should be some
thing higher and better than q manufac.
turing place, and l believe the sentiment
Of the District Of Columbia Is for a city
magnificent-the Intellectual center rather
than the manufacturing mart, with its
whirring machinery, clouds Of smoke and
hubbub."
Mr.. Preston pointed to the smoke law
and other drastic regulations in the Dis
trict which have and will continue to op-
crate against the location of factories
within its confines. He said the people
OF Alexandria will always pay the full
measure Of tribute to Washington. the
artistic and beautiful. He expressed the
hope that the bustling business men OF
the District of Columbia will assist their
brethren Of Alexandria in their ambition
to locate there-seven miles away-as
many manufactures as possible, as much
Of the money thus made in Alexandra
will gravitate to Washington just as nat
urally as water will flow down a decline =
So, with the homecoming week still a
pleasant and recent memory. Alexandria
is wideawake to It's future commercial
prosperity. and the major portion of the
steam and energy for the boom will be
supplied by its competent chamber OF
commerce.
