Work Will Start to Raise
Pensacola's Share of Big
Publicity Fund.
LETTERS WILL
BE SENT OUT
Business Men Decide to Dis
tribute Letters and Circu-
lars in Section.

The hoodoo on Friday will soon be
thing of the past.
For on Friday will begin the big
drive that is to raise Pensacola's
share of the gigantic publicity fund
that will exploit the wonders of the
Alaflamiss, the Land of Sunshine,
and of thousand opportunities, of
which the Deep Water City is the
capital, bringing thousands of tour
lists and colonists to develop our re-
sources and create again the Golden
Age of prosperity.
At an earnest gathering of promi
nent business men held at the Ala
faniss headquarters in the San Car
los hotel Tuesday afternoon, ways
and means of reaching the people
were discussed. Upon suggestion of
A. M. Cohen, citizens and business
men of Pensacola are to be circular
lied by a letter signed by fifty
prominent men stating that they be-
lieve in the publicity campaign in
question and that htey are support
ing it financially; and urging every
question and that they are support
it as well. Under cover of this same
letter will be sent prospectus sum
narizing the scope of the movement.
These letters will be in the hands of
their readers on Thursday and the
next day NJ. B. Trezevant and DIR. w.
H. Taylor, of the campaign head
quarters, accompanied by representa-
tive committees chosen from Pensa-
cola's leading citizens, will call, and
it is not doubted that with such
methods Pensacola's pro rata will be
promptly raised. That. share is esti-
mated at $4,000 for the entire period
of five years, or $4,000 a year.
Tuesdays meeting was called to
order by Vice President Goodhart,
who in short address urging the
necessity of publicity preparedness,
introduced NJ. B. Trezevant Mr..
Trezevant outlined the purpose Of the
Alaflamiss, as already described in

interviewed are not in the least per-
turbed over the $2,000,000 suit
against the internal improvement
trustees, but admit the acts of VAL
lett and his associates have become
annoying.
These "trouble-makers," as the at
torney general calls them, will be re-
membered as the same who fathered
a bill in the legislature of 1915 which
sought to create drainage commits
sion and take lands out Of the hands
of the internal improvement trustees.
Vallett had the me.ebers of the
commission named in the bill and on
the grounds to take their jobs, but
the senate laughed the bill out Of ex-
istence by striking out the enacting
clause.
The attorney general states that
the men who filed the suit have a
double purpose, first to create sem
timent for legislation that viii be
proposed at this session and second
to shift the responsibility in the post
office charge against the associates
of Vallett, who claim that the trouble
they have involved themselves in with
the United States postal authorities
is the result of the failure of the
state to drain the Everglades.
These men, it is said, bought lands

CARGO
NAVAL STORES
Norwegian Steamer Lift
Leaves Today With Val
liable Cargo Aboard. !

Without question the most valuable
solid cargo of naval stores to have
been cleared from Pensacola in some
months will leave for London today
aboard the Norwegian steamship Lift,
which received the entire consignment
at berth on the east side of Tara
gona wharf, and which cleared for
her destination, via Tampa and Jack
sonville, yesterday. The cargo con-
sists of both rosin and turpentine,
and total of more than 10000 bar
rels were shipped.
1t was reported that about $500
casks of turpentine had been loaded
under deck, and probably 5000 barrels
of rosin, about half of which was on
deck.
The Lift was formerly an American
steamer and Immediately upon being
purchased by Norwegian interests,
was steamed from the Pacific to the
Atlantic via the Panama canal, and
procuring cargo at this point, is now
on her way to her home port, in the
Norsk country. Her present cargo,
of course, will be discharged at Lon
don, and it is then stated she will go
to Norway for some purpose. The
Lift will probably get away about s
o'clock this morning and goes via the
other Florida ports named, it is said,
to procure fuel oil supply, the
steamer being fitted as an oil burner
even before her change of flags.
