expected to reach this port during the
afternoon of Thursday, the 3rd. The

PENSACOLAWI DOUBLE

COURSE OF FIVE YEARS

Pensaco will double in population
within the next five years. This is the
view of William Fisher, a business
man who is in touch with the pulse
of the city IS well as with business
connections in many southern cities.
He believes that Pensacola will re-
ceive the greatest benefit from the
Panama canal OF any of the gulf ports.
In an interview yesterday afternoon
with a Journal representative Mr..
Fisher expressed ninecIf as follows:
1.-The old saying that Prophet is not
" ithout honor save in his own coIIn-
try sets forth a condition of affairs
that Is to some extent true of our city,
in my opinion.
The eyes of the country at large
are centered on the gulf coast on ac-
count of the approa ching completion
of the Panama Canal. 1t is the con-
sensus of opinion of business and
trade experts all over the United
States that the use Of the completed
Panama Canal will effect a remark

of the country. and that it will un-
doubtedly assure to the extreme south
