MOBILE HARBoR FACILITIES.

Mobile IS slnguarly well equipped as
regards harbor facilities She is one OF the
only two ports on the Gulf Of Mexico hav-
ing docking facilities and hers are gem
orally considered TO be superior In fact
Mr. T. W. White, the local manager of
the United Fruit Company. says that Mo-
bile has the cheapest docks in the Gulf,
end that, for that reason, his ships are
all repaired here.
Mobile has no shipyard engaged in the
building Of ocean craft but offers un-
equalled facilities for the establishment
OF one more particularly at Alabama
Port. within little more than a stones
throw Of the lower fleet anchorage
Mr. Harry T. Hartweil. who takes a lead
ing part in everything looking to Mobiles
progress. thinks this will be the coal port
for the Panama Canal, for the reason that
when the improvement Of the river system
is completed, freight on coal will drop 100
per cent" He believes that the ports coal
stations. and its shipyards as well. should
be located on or near the lower fleet an
chorage. And he also believes that the
west shore Of Mobile Bay will be lined with
piers and slips for great ocean bulk car
riers, while the package ships will natu-
rally seek the river front and the terminals

Mr. Hartwell besides being one Of the
owners Of the Turner Hartwell Docks, is
the vice-president. secretary and treasurer

MOBILES GREAT FUTURE.

As regards her possible future. 1t Is
difficult to resist. after q careful STUDY OF
the conditions here outlined, the conclu'
sion that Mobiles dreams OF a day when
she shall be recognized as the gateway
between North and Central and South
America. as an emporium for the East
ern and Western hemspheres and as the
chief coallng station for the worlds steam
tonnage, both out of the Gulf ana through
the Panama Canal; when her harbor shah

When that day arrives she will have
been given by the government a 35-foot
channel in Mobile Bay and to the lower
fleet anchorage and forty feet on her outer
bar. which will permit the worlds larg-
est craft to resort here.
She will have utilized the contours I'M

FOREIGN FREIGHT SERVICE.

Exporters here say generally. that Mo-
bile's foreign freight service is quite
equal to the demands of her business; is
as cheap as from Pensacola or New Or
leans. and is a great Improvement upon
that of a few years since, when, for ex-
ample, there was only one regular line
furnishing ocean transportation to Eu.
ropean ports. Now she has three-the
Mobile and Atlantic Steamship Company,
the Elder-Dempster Line and the Mobile
Liners, the last named an incorporated
agency for four great transa tlantic steam
snip lines. the Hamburg-American, the
Manchester. the Leyland and the Harri-
son. AS a consequence of the coming or
the additional lines large quantities Of
lard, ninety carloads, originating at West
ern packing centres were for the first
time billed here for European ports-a
recognition that Mobile is in the direct
highway of commerce for this class OF
business Deeper water and the opening
of the Panama Canal will increase this
trade beyond estimate, for then such dead
weight cargo can readily be taken care Of.
These are supplemented by the irregular
service represented by concerns engaged in
chartering ships for the conveyance of car
goes 10 the various foreign ports.
There is a promise that to the present
foreign steamship service will he shortly

MOBILE THE COAL PORT.

Just as there Is nothing that will mean
quite so much to Mobile as her recognition
as the coal port OF the Gulf Of Mexico and
the source of supply for the Panama Canal,
for other Gulf ports and for those of the
Caribbean and of the west coast mines
are scarce and mining costly on that coast

LATIN AMERICAN TRADE.

Nh T " White, whom the writer has
had occasion to quote elsewhere, be-
cause Of mis- thorough acquaintance With
Central American trade, "a well as be-
cause of his intimate knowledge of this
port's affairs and those Of the other south
ern ports, thinks the possibility Of TRACE
with Latin America Is simply beyond com
putation or estimate, for the reason that
Mobile has all the advantages that any
Of the Gulf or tho South Atlantic ports
nave. and certain others which they have
not. it has cheaper coal, cheaper port
charges. cheaper repair facilities and bet
ter facilities for port handling.
As regards export and import trade with

saws: In bananas the demand is increas-

is better systcmatlzed. Improved methods

Mr. William r. Hioronymous is one Of

other advantages, will give Mobile a COM

Mr. Freeman c. Turner, OF F. c. Turner

ing establishment, looks forward hopefully
TO an expanded trade with Central and
South America, both coasts on the opening

those countries are not equipped TO turn
out such manufactures and that this port
has manifest advantages over any others
Of the United States.
The plant comprises three large two story
masonry structures, which together with
the stock yard for raw materiaD cover
areas equal to three-fourths of a Mobile

FREIGHT AND PORT CHARGES.

As most Of the shippers here agree that
ocean freight charges are reasonable. il
goes without saying they must be, since
that class is not easily satisfied in that
respect
While Mobiles port charges may be said
to average up well with those Of Gulf ports
generally. they are about s. per cent less
than those Of her chief competitor. Still, it
is thought by many shippers that compress
charges arc too high.

For such as these the wr"ds spoken

still, they should be published in every
public print, viz: There is no such
thing as hereditary tuberculosis. The
remedy is simple and all should know
1t. 1t Is one of the most easily cura.
BILE of all the chronic infectious dis
eases. You can cure consumption by
the unstinted use of Gods good fresh
