Review of Three Decades Shows That
State Has Made Remarkable
Progress Along All lines.
Some Features

Alabama. in respect of geographical po-
siticn, soil, climate and other resources,
holds an enviable place among the states.
North and south 1t stretches from the
sub-tropic temperature of northern Flor
ida to the cool heights of the Appalach-
Ian range; east and west from the rich
loamy soils of the western border of
Georgia to the fertile valley of the Ten
nessee. 1t lies between 81 degrees and
the altitude runs from a few feet above
sea level on the gulf coast to 5000 feet
Of elevation on the mountain heights the
average being about 600 feet The area
Is 51,99S square miles, or 6S72 square miles
larger than Pennsylvania. OF this area
719 square miles are covered by water.
There are s2.s1s56o acres, of which less
than 100000 are improved.
THE richness of its soil resulted in
Aabamas s development, for many years
being mainly along agricultural lines,
though even; prior to the war considerable
progress had been made in Industrial pur-
suits, and especially in iron production.
The iron ore and coal resources of the
state were fully appreciated by many

which have vastly increased the proven
supply of ore in the Birmingham district,

very much larger than the estimate made
several years ago by the geological sur
vey Alabama is now producing about
10000 tons of pig iron as compared with
a total production of the United States
in 1880 of 1886, 900 tons, being more than
one-half as much as the entire country
then made. And yet the iron and steel
development of Alabama is in its infancy
as compared with it's potentialities. The
United States Steel Corporation has an
investment in Alabama, including the
bonds of the property which it bought
namely, the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
