Improvement is now being prosecuted
by the United States government.
The southern extremity of the Apa-
lachicola coal, iron and hardwood re-
gion, which forms the Alabama coal
and iron fields, is bounded on the south
by the Alabama water power. With
water and coal competing in the max
ing Of power in the heart of the pro-
ducing section of the south, a great
manufacturing center should be de-
veloped along this line of water power,
and with all-water connection to and
along the gulf coast, providing cheap
transportation of coal for power, the
gulf coast will have a great indus
trial development.
A STRATEGIC POSITION.
Pensacola occupies a strategic po-
sttion and harbor advantages to handle
the majority of the business from these
great industrial regions.
8. Because Pensacola has the best
harbor in the south. The channel en-
trance has a minimum depth Of 3S
feet. The large protected harbor con-
tains more than seven square miles Of
water having a depth Of S3 to so feet,
and 19 1-2 square miles of more than
80 feet depth. The distance from the
entrance Of the harbor to the docks
at Pensacola is less than 10 miles.
6. Because Pensacola is amply pro-
tected in case Of war. The city of
Pensacola Is situated on the west side
of Pensacola bay, about seven miles
from the fortihcations at the entrance
to the port

COUNTRY STRIKERS
Negaunee and Ishpeming Fedora
ti0n of Miners Meet

Neeaunee, Mich, July 2S-A meet
ing of the members OF the Negaunee
and Ishpeming divisions of the Fedora
ton of Miners, in connection with the
sixth annual picnic OF the federation,
was held at Cleveland park yesterday
afternoon for the purpose Of discussing
the strike of the miners in the copper
country and deciding upon the action
the two local organizations should take
in reference thereto.
The prime movers In yesterdays
meeting assert that IL was not called
for the purpose OF melting the iron
miners to strike. but To organize them
10 assist the copper country miners In
securing the things they demand. Most
of the membership of the two divisions
of the federation were present To hear
the addresses of the speakers
Among those who talked were Frank
Aaltonen, of Negaunee. and w. j. Rob
he had interviewed many OF the Calu-
met miners within the past few days
and that they intended to carry the
fight to a finish and he asserted that IL
might be necessary for the Negaunee
and Ishpeming divisions TO aid the
strikers. Mr. Aaltonen said II might
become necessary to send the wives
and children of the strikers out OF the
copper country until the strike was
settled, and the Ishpeming and Negau-
nee members of the federation, who are
able To take care OF one or more of the
strikers families, were requested To
turn I'm their names To the secretary of
the federation.
There were also addresses by Swe-
dish. Finnish, Austrian and Italian
speakers.
The Negaunee and lshpeming divi-
sions of the federation are composed
almost entirely of foreigners, and their
number represents only small per-
centage of the miners employed in the
mines In this vicinity.
Many Ishpeming and Negaunee peo-
pie were attracted TO the meeting,
principally through curiosity.

INCENDIARY FIRE
AT centennial
Morgan & Grierson's Meat Mar
ket and Store Burned

Late Saturday night Morgan 4
Grierson's meat market and store at
the Centennial mine location was dis
covered IN flames and as the fire was
believed 10 have been on incendiary
origin and other fires were feared In
that district, two companies OF infant
ry were sent In automobiles 10 the
scene by General Abbey. They re
turded 10 Calumet early ln the morn
ing when it appeared there was no fur
ther need tor their services.
The meat market and store was des-
troyed, John Grierson. a member of
the firm. estimating his loss between
$4,000 and $1,000. with insurance OF
$4,000. Owing To the shut down OF the
mine pumps the location was without
fire protection and the fire had To be
fought by bucket brigade The flames
spread rapidly however. having had
good start before its discovery. The
fire fighters managed % save adjoining
property.
Saturday Morgan n Grierson had
announced they were going on a cash
basis Monday morning. owing To the
strike, and 1t was reported in the To-
cation that the store would be burned
The rumor reached the ears of the
members Of the firm. but IL was given
little credence as the firm has no
connection with the mining companies
or the strike. owing to the threat
there seems 10 be little doubt that in
cendiaries caused the fire. although
there is no clue To the guilty persons
Business in the copper country al
ready has begun To suffer from the
effect of the strike. Meat Wholesalers
today went on strictly cash basis
selling nothing To the retailers on cred
it, and while a few of the latter may
be able To continue credit TO their pat
rons for a few days, it is felt most of
them will be forced To adopt the cash
basis also
The Atlas Powder company's Senter
plant. employing about 70 men. which
makes large part OF the blasting
powder and dynamite used in the local
mines, has found It necessary to sus-
pend operations because of the strike.

DENY REPORTS

-
Suggestion of Cooperation With
Mexican Government Said
to Be Untrue
BRYAN IS RETICeNT ON SUBJECT
U. S. to Demand Investigation of
Shooting of American
PUBLIC NOT UNDULY EXCITED

Washington, July 2s. President
Wilson does not believe the public
mind in the United States is excited
over the situation in Mexico nor is he
convinced that the crisis has been
reached in the revolution itself This
information was obtained in official
circles today with authoritative denial
that any properly talking toward CO.
operation between the American mill
tary forces and the Mexican govern
ment for the restoration OF peace had
been suggested.
Those who approached the president
today on the Mexican situation found
him disinclned To discuss the matter
as 10 the letter that he was TO confer
with Ambassador Wilson. Bryan ar
ranged To see the President before the
conference. The Secretary also dis
played continued reticence in Mexican
affairs. IL was learned at the White
House however that reports credting
Ambassador Wilson with having advo-
Gated set proposal contempla ting
fnllltdfN cooperation with Mexico with
Intervention We're unfolded.
Suggest Remedies to President.
The President had received from the
Ambassador historical account of
events in Mexico during the last three
years. The Amba assador today declar
ed he had not mentioned any remedies
TOWARD the situation to any one. He
had reserved these, he said, for his per
sonal interview with the President.
Contradictory Information that had
been received In Washington regarding
the stability of the Huerta admins
tration is now said to be question
Of the reliability of informants. Off
cials declined To state which reports
were being credited
Investigate Shooting of American.
1t is said, however. that in the last
ten days, little or no attention has been
paid to affairs in the southern repub-
lie. The shooting of Charles h. Dixon
Jr.. at JuareZ, is regarded as a
rious incident but it's bearing on the
general Mexican situation is being
minimized by officials here today as
the American demand for investigation
and punishment of the offenders ap-
parently is being complied with. AT
the White House 1t is said the United
States would insist on summary ac-
ton To equality.
