INTERESTED IN
SCOUT TRIP
PENSACOLA TO CHICAGO HIGH
WAY CLAIMING ATTENTION OF
PRESS AND PUBLIC ALONG
PROPOSED RoUTE-PLAN TO
START SEPT. 8.

The Birmingham Age Herald of
Sunday says: Pensacola is starting a
highway boom to be called the Chi
cago-Pensacola highway" The Pen
sacola Journal is leading the boom to
build this great highway, and in order
to give it momentum has arranged
that a scouting party from that city
snail tour to Chicago over the pro-
posed route.
The paper has announced that the
party will reach Birmingham August
2S or sooner. The editor and manager
of The Journal Frank L. Mayes, has
sent letter to the secretary Of the
Alabama Good Roads Association, j.
Asa Rountree, announcing this fact.
and stating that he wishes to meet the
local good roads advocate in this city,
as we'll as other points along the
route.
The Pensacola Chicago" advocates
are that they will look over the Ten
nessee-to the Gulf" highway and that
they hope to adopt this highway as a
section Of their proposed route to Chi
cago.
The party will make addresses in
effort to get the people along the high
way enthusiastic over the plan and
after they have completed the trip
they hope to organize all along the
route.
The secretary states that as soon
as definite information has been re-
cefved as to the time Of their ar
rival plans will be made to welcome
them into Birmingham.
Probably Start Sept. 3.
The following letter from Secretary
G. A. Waterman of the Commercial
Association is self explanatory:
August IL, 1911.

Roads Association, Birmingham,
Ala.
Dear Sir: I note the correspondence
between you and Mr.. F. L. Mayes, edi-
tor of The Journal, printed in The
Journal this morning
Mr.. Mayes mentions DR.. Kennedy's
recent illness, which consisted of a Sc
rious injury to one of his knees, due to
1T being struck by the crank of a gaso-
line engine which back fired some two
weeks ago at his country home. The
doctor is still relying in part upon a
crutch, and DR.. Hutchinson, who lie
treating him, tells US that ii will be
two or three weeks before DR.. Ken
nedy will be able to drive his car to
Chicago.
We originally applied to the Biz
ningham Chamber Of Commerce for
cooperation at Birmingham, and Sec
August 7th that our letter has been
referred to the Motor Club. I would
suggest that you confer with the Mo-
tor Club secretary and have the Mo-
tor Club, the Chamber of Commerce,
and the Good Roads Association all
cooperate as representing Birming-
hams interest in the Chicago to the
Gulf Highway.
My letter to Mr.. Babb, referred by
him to the Motor Club, will give you a
pretty fair indication Of the plan under
which we propose to work. We will
leave here on September 3rd, If DR..
Kennedy is able to leave at that time.
DIR. Hutchinson holds out no hope of
DR.. Kennedy being in shape to drive
his car to Chicago in time for him to
reach Birmingham and leave Birming-
ham on the 9th of this month. I re-
greet exceeding that this is the case,
as 1t would be all the better if it could
be handled at that time.
Very truly yours,
G. A. WATERMAN,
Secretary.

Will We Have a
Biological Station?

Several times The Journal has urged
the necessity of West Florida making
an effort to get the biological station
which congress proposes to give Flor
ida. Fifty thousand dollars have been
appropriated for the station, but none
of this amount can be used for the
site, the government figuring that
some section would appropriate 1t and
be glad OF the opportunity.
Two places have already done this
and no doubt others are making
plans to do the same and then the
selection will be made according to the
most suitable place offered. Following
are eight requirements that the COM
mittee will be governed by in making
the selection:
Q) The site should have an area Of
not less than 5 acres to accommodate
the laboratory proper and the various
necessary subsidiary buildings.
(2) The land should be sufficiently
high to be reasonably immune from
inundation at the highest storm tides
and should be of such character as to
resist erosion of waves and currents.
(3) 1t should be situated on a body
of water OF practically full oceanic
salinity at all times.
(4) 1t should be accessible by
wharfage to a channel carrying not
less than 5 feet of water and be rea-
sonably close to an anchorage for
vessels drawing IL feet.
(5) 1t should be conveniently ac-
communication.
(6) 1t should be located in the i'm
mediate vicinity Of water not less than
20 fathoms.
~ Cd 1t should be located in the vi
cinity of bottoms of varying charac-
ter including coral. mud. grass and
sand. so as to provide sufhcient va
riety of animal and vegetable life.
(s) 1t preferably should be suffl-
ciently close to the Gulf Stream to
permit easy daily access for purpose
OF collecting specimens.
The waters Of st. Andrews, Choc-
tawhatchee and Pensacola bays and
the adjacent lands and the deep water
channels to the gulf, without ques-
ton fill the requirements of the gov
eminent and II something will be
done, The Journal believes that the
station may be located in this section.
Benefits to be derived from the sta
ton are manifold for the bureau Is
to be of permanent nature and. be-
sides being an advertising feature Of
inestimable value, It will help re-
plemish the waters of the gulf with
fishes, and the spongue, which grows
in no other waters of the United
States except Florida, will be culti-
waited. Too. the bill provides that
teachers and students OF agricultural
and mechanical colleges of this and
other states will be admitted to study
fish culture.
The station is to be built in Florida.
w. Florida is the best place. Will we
be found asleep at the switch and let
some other section which has not as
many advantages get the station be-
cause the people there have thrift and
enterprise?

The cruiser Boston one day last
week steamed into Portsmouth harbor
up to the navy yard on the Kittery
shore and into the magnificent dry
dock, cut out of the solid rock there,
under her own power. In 4s hours her
sea valves were adjusted and she was
scraped and painted and out to sea
again. And yet the yard where this
fine performance was possible seems
to be under the ban Of the Secretary
OF the Navy. who Is said to be de-
sirous OF closing 1t altogether. Would
1t be wise to put out OF commission
such a valuable adjunct to the naval
resources of the United States?
