PENSACOLA MOBILE WATERWAY

How Is the canal. which is to con-
meet Penss cola and Mobile lays, to
benefit Baldwin county?
It is an undisputed fact that trans
portation is essential to the develop
ment of any locality. Baldwin county
is very poorly supplied In this essen
tial. The Louisville g. Nashville rail-
roads main line runs diagonally across
the northern parGsof the county. from
Hurricane, a point near the Tensaw
river, to Perdido station, near the east
ern line Of the county, a distance Of
less than rs miles. From a point
about the center of this line Bay Mi
nette, the L. & N runs a branch line
to Foley. about 40 miles in length. The
distance from this branch line of road
to the borders OF the county varies
from 10 to rs miles The county north
Of the main line of the L. & N rail-
road has no railroad transporta ton
whatever, but on the western boun-
Diary it is fairly well provided with
transportation by means of the Ala
bama and Tensaw rivers. The dis
lance from the Alabama and Tensaw
rivers to the eastern boundary Of the
county is about 1s miles. The lower
half Of the county is bounded on the
west by Mobile Bay, on the east by
the Perdido river and bay. Perdido
river and Perdido Bay, however, are
almost landlocked, the mouth of the
bay being so shallow as to prohibit
anything but very light and small
craft navigation. The commerce of
the Mobile Bay side Of the county is
not sufficient to warrant adequate
means of transportation by water.
So far as the southern portion os
the county is concerned, that is, that
part bounded by Mobile Bay, the gule,
Perdido river and Perdido Bay, when
the canal connecting Pensacola and
Mobile is constructed, the deficiency of
transportation will be largely remov ed,
for the following reasons:
The Alabama & New Orleans Trans
portation Company will run its 100 ton
power barges on a regular schedule
between Pensacola, Mobile and New
Orleans. through the canal.
The Cessna Steamship Line will OPP
crate a combined passenger and freight
steamer through the canal to Mobile,
making regular schedule, and will put
on additional service as required This
company proposes to run a daily
schedule as soon as the business will
warrant
Other lines will doubtless be inau-
gurated. Boats will be able to navi
gate Perdido river for some distance;
all the streams of the county that are
navigable may be used to collect traf-
fic along the line of the canal, and at
certain Joints along the east bank of
Mobile Bay.
The county is well supplied with
water courses. Beginning with the
Alabama and Tensaw rivers on the
western side OF the northern part Of
the county. the county has in the
southern part Minetse creek. Mine.,e

leans railroad. President Mclaughlin,
OF this railroad, announces that after
certain bonds are sold 1t will require
about four months to complete the
road to Mobile.
Baldwin county is y miles long and
its extreme width is 80 miles. It con-
tains 1855 square miles, or LOLA, 400
acres; its elevation are: Foley, 80
feet; Summerdale, lis feet; Roberts
dale or Silver HILL 148 feet: Locks
ley, ITO feet; Bay Minette, 268 feet;
Perdido Station, 213 feet. On each Of
the bays there are occasional bluffs
from 20 to so feet high. All Of the
streams of the county maintain their
flow the year round; in the billy sec
ton springs are numerous. The soils
of the county fall into two divisions;
these are composed of some % types.
The gifts of nature, coupled with that
of good transportation facilities, mean
that the county Of Baldwin is to de-
velop into one Of the greatest counties
Of the gulf coast. The Pensa cola Mo-
bile canal will be a large factor in
bringing this about.

The ladies of Bay Minette have or

The object of the club is to improve

The first thing they want to Go is to

They hope to have the assistance of

THE ELBERTA DISTRICT
OF BALDWIN COUNTY

The great alberta. district oe Bald

mands the instant interest of every
one who visits the southeast section OF
this prize package of Alabama sun
shine and moonshine and fertility, and,
once you view it's productive acres, its
sparkling waters, and its satisfied
people, you are pretty apt to want to
calmly settle down and live there for
the rest of your life
alberta is five miles east of Foley,
and thriving colony of Germans, who
are developing that section of the
county to most surprising degree.
They raise fine vegetables and fruits
and nuts and grains; stock for the
markets; the best chickens in the
country and offer dairy products that
are hard to equal anywhere.
Many of them haul their produce to
Pensacola. where top prices are Sc
cured, Pensacola, indeed, being the
nearest large market. Over a thou
sand settlers are making good in
this particular section; good schools,
we'll supported churches; and an at
mosphere of kindly cheer and friendly
feeling making the spot an ideal one
for the man with little money and a
great deal of energy and ambition.
Sugar cane and sweet potatoes are
banner crops; in fact, any crops that
can be raised in Illinois or Iowa may
also be raised in the liberia country,
which, instead of one, boasts of sew
erai crops to the year, with a ten
month growing season. Peaches, of
the liberia and Slappey varieties, also
do well, along with the rest Of the
fruit yield.
Orange Beach, located on the placid
waters of Perdido bay, is the coming
resort town of the alberta country.
Charming little retreats have been
built there by the city folk who value
it most for its peace and quiet, and

cream, small fruits and so on which

Baldwin county soil yields from S5 to

400 to 500 gallons of syrup to one acre
of cane: sweet potatoes, from 200 to
