HolU the Warrior Is Coming
Into It's DUN at Tuscaloosa

the warehouse next to the bluff has been
filled in from the rock and dirt taken
from the hillside grade. where 6 per
cent wagonway is being mate and a rail-
road track Will be built on the fill, four
feet below the platform of the warehouse,
which will facilitate the handling of
freight when it is to be shipped either up
down the river. The freight can thus
be unloaded from the cars and placed
on the platform, to be lifted by the hoist
on boats in the river a hundred feet
away, or freight can be loaded from
boats on the platform and then loaded
into the cars, to be brought to the city
or shipped to other points in the Tusca-
loosa territory.
Right now the hoist has all it can do

the river, to be loaded on cars for ship
ment to saw mills in Tuscaloosa and vi

lumber and the handling of oss-ties

freight begins to be handled by the hoist

and logs close to the bank of the river
so that boats and barges drawing as
much as 10 feet of water can come right
UP to the bank. tie to trees and posts,
while the big derrick is unloading their
cargoes. The mud and logs taken from
the river by the dredge has been carried
to the low places along the river, so as to
fill them in and make the river front
present a more attractive appearance.
Tt is an inspiring sight up at the mu-
nieipal wharf to look up the river a
short distance and see the smoke coming
from the dozen enterprises at Holt, while
a few hundred feet below are couple of
big planning mills dressing the lumber
taken from barges to be shipped to diff
forent places for sale. The city water
works are located few hundred feet be-
low the planning mills and utilize the
shavings in making steam, thus saving
some $500 a month in the matter of fuel
to this city. The planning mills were
given sites at this place by the city, with
the stipulation that the city waterworks
were to have the shavings, thus making
it a convenience and source of profit to
both the city and the owners of the plan
ing mills.
At this point ways are being put in for
taking ships from the water and over
hauling them. Heretofore when a barge

representative took a trip out to the mu-
nicipal wharf for the purpose of seeing
what was going on at this. the first MOIST
to be erected on the Warrior for the
handling of freight, and was greatly
pleased with what he saw. The new
warehouse is receiving the finishing
touches and is now ready for the recep-
ton of freight, but as yet the merchants
of Tuscaloosa and vicinity have not COM
menced to utilize the river for the hand
ling of heavy freight, such as corn and
meat from the west and sugar from the
Louisiana plantations.
IT will take time to educate the mer-
chants up to using the river, but 1t is
coming, and as soon as two or three OF
them make use of the big metal retain
ers for bringing freight up the river the
rest will drop into line, and the ice once
broken, water transportation will become
almost as popular as it was when all Oh
the freight of this section of the state
was shipped UP the river to the head of
navigation, Tuscaloosa. But since the
river has been locked and damned, Tus-
caloosa is no longer the head of naVlga-
tion but Cordova, in Walker county,
claims to have the honor of being at the
head of navigation, and If senator
Bankhead succeeds in getting that other
lock and dam placed in the Warrior the
head of navigation will be pushed on up
the Warrior several miles beyond Cor
dova.
While the municipal wharf and derrick
has no merchandise to handle, 1t mas ali
II can do to unload the scores OF barges
that land at the wharf. They bring lum-
her which is loaded on the cars and the
men in charge of the derrick hoisted 5000
feet of lumber at one hoist, just to show
how easily it could handle that much
haavv freight. The capacity of the hoist
is Is tons, but it is hardly possible that
the capacity of the lifting power OF the
derrick will ever be needed, for it is very
rare that a piece of freight weighing 3d.
ago pounds in one piece is handled.

ming of next week. with the various
steel companies gaining right along in
the number of men returning to work,
1t is expected that Nhe production Of
pig iron and all grades of steel win
reach normal before .Jng. None of toe
southern furnaces were affected by
the strike condition. and. in conse
quence. very large tonnage was pro-
duced. this due to the fact that several
furnaces resumed operating after
shutdown of several months.
The demand continues for high
silicon iron some consumers finding
1t necessary to go to distant points TO
obtain requirements. Ferro-manga-
nese in consequence of the steel con-
dition, was not freely inquired for, al
though quite little business was
placed.

other coke producing districts prices
have also advanced. with the demand

issued for a general strike in the Di-
