OPPORTUNITY HERE.

IN the Iates. issue Of the Manufac
tu:ers' Record is published a letter
of business interest from Secretary
Albert NJ. smith. of the = Brunswick
Boara Of Trade. which reads:
Dispatches from Washington re-
Gently quoted Chairman William Den
ham, of the Federal Shipping Board.
es saying that the supply of lumber
on the North Atlantic coast was so
insufficient az to make 1t necessary
" build more of the thousand wood.
sn merchant vessels for which the
Federal Shipping Board is letting con.
tracts on the Pacific and Gulf coasts,
where lumber is more plentiful. Ap-
parently neither the writer of the dis
patch nor Chairman Denham, IL he
vas fully and correctly quoted, took
into consideration that the South At
lantic ports are as well fitted TO build
wooden ships as the Gulf ports, or
that they can be built as economi-
cally, cost of labor and delivery OF
vessels TO the government consider
ed on the South Atlantic as on the
Pacific.
There lie sufficient pine lumber
available in the trade territory Of ev-
cry one of the South Atlantic ports
to build the entire thousand vessels
without overtaxing the mills. Ger
tainly oak is as plentiful as on the
Gulf coast, and probably more so than
on the Pacific.
Pine, and also cypress. may be had
as cheaply as anywhere at Brunswick.
and can be gotten from mills 80 near
as to make the cost for railroad trans
portation very small. One large lum-
ber mill in Brunswick is located be-
tween two shipyards. and this mill
gets It's timber by rafting only about
II miles. The supply of both live oak
and white oak nearby TO the ship
yards at Brunswick is practically un-
limited. The shipbuilding plants here
get nearly all Of their oak needs and
timber by water from points only a
few miles away, some OF them right
on the harbor. While It is true that
there Is much more oak near to
Brunswick than any other southern
port, there are sufficient qualities
available at low cost at all southern
ports Without taking into consider
alton tho cheaper labor available In
the south, or the fact that work can
be carried on in the open air the year
round, the fact that most. il not all,
of the lumber for building ships must
be brought from these same southern
ports In the holds of vessels to east
ern ports accounts fully for the lower
cost of constructing vessels at south
ern ports and the predominance of
the southern ports over New England
In wooden shipbuilding today"

SOLDIERS IN TOWN.

The public worship of the city was
much disturbed Sunday morning by
the passing through the city of three
companies of the New Jersey Nation
al Guards who have been mustered
in to the Federal Service and were
on their way to Admission, Ala, to go
into training. The soldiers left the
cars at the Seaboard depot and came
up street marching four abreast and
making. an imposing sight. They
halted on the square and stores were
opened that they might get soft
drinks, post cards, etc. The supply
of watermelons at the cafe was ex-
hausted at once. The boys were on
the square for only a short time and
in getting away marched up past the
churches on their way to the shops.
This put an effectual stop to Sunday
school and the soldiers were followed
to the shops by hosts of big and little
boys, cars full of people and many
on foot made the trip to see them off.
The New Jersey boys were a fine
looking set of men and seemed ready
for any fate. The young officers
were gentlemen and were pleasant
in conversation. Lieut.. Smith said
his men were glad to cone south and
it is certain that the south is glad
to have them.
