in the past two years; and several
millions more are to be invested in
development work in one OF the lead
ing plants.
Naturally, the springing up of these
new industries has brought into ex-
istence other and, o-speak, neigh
boring industries. the most notable
and direct thing being a mandatory
OF marine equipment, ships hardware
steam windlasses, mooring appli-
ances, belts, etc
We recognize that the interest that
has been shown by the outside world
in Mobiles industrial development and
confirming what has always been
claimed for Mobile, is most encourag-
ing: for IL strengthens a long estao-
lished faith in the hearts of the peo-
Pile of Mobile and inspires them to
new and larger efforts in their own
behalf and in behalf of the commun-
ity. There are other things, however,
that help create the belief and con-
viction that the day has come at last
bile is beginning to be realized; ana.
the most important of these is the ac-
tual utilizing of the Warrior water
route for the transportation of fuel
and merchandise. Like all new enter
prises it has had its difficulties IN
bringing about full cooperation by the
private interests that had become USED
to al-rail transportation, but the ex-
perience already had on the Mississip-
pi goes conclusively to show that the
barge line can get all the business II
can accom- odate. while what has AL
ready been done, after much later
start. on the Warrior and Tombigbee,
is pronounced decidedly encouraging.
A very considerable business is oper-
ating both ways as far as New Ut
leans and we may expect with con-
fidence that 1t will be extended up the
Mississippi to Vicksburg, Memphis
Cairo and st. Louis. now that an all
water route has been declared, that
cuts under the all-rail rate from BIZ
ninphams traffic district. 1t means
a great deal to Mobile from the IN
dustrial point of view. The city VIII
no longer be limited to her rail- route
for steam coal; and will not again
see the route overtaxed as it was IN
the winter and spring of 1918. H.
az has SO often been said. it is true
that Mobiles future depends upon
growth of industry, then this day. MO-
h,,a,s future is here. We are realiz-
ing this prediction.
