LOCAL MERCHANTS
 ROUTING SHIPMENTS
 BY ALL-WATER WAY
Mobile May Begin Publicity Campaign to Show Differ ence In Railroad and Water
 Rates to Build Port

Mobile, April 14.-(Special)-Up state merchants are beginning to mani fest more than passing interest in water transportation and particularly in shipments of freight through the port of Mobile The latest shipment routed through Mobile for Birmingham is a quantity of canned goods pur- chased by Birmingham wholesale grocery company in Los Angeles, Cal, and these have been routed by the all- water route.
 In letter to President H. k. Mil ner of the state harbor commission the Tyler Grocery company of Bir- mingham state they have given direc- tions for the shipment from Los An seles of S25 cases of catsup and 250 cases of cocoa on the steamer West Haven to Mobile and then by the War rior river barge line to Birmingham The West Haven is coming to Page & Jones and is due here the early part of May, coming direct from Los Angeles through the Panama canal and then to Mobile
 COMPARATIVE RATE
 The Tyler company state that the freight on these goods from Los An geles to Birmingham via water route is T61s cents, insurance k of l per cent and strappage of cases cents, making the total of so cents against the all rail route from Los Angeles to Birmingham of S1.421a. The saving in freight is 62l2 cents or nearly one third.
 This will be the first shipment of freight from the Pacific coast to Bir- mingham by the all water route but local ship brokers and operators ex- press the belief that it is merely be- gining of a movement that will grow as business between Mobile and the Pacific coast grows. Ships have been carrying cargoes from Mobile to the Pacific coast with some degree of reg ularity the past few months and indi- cations are that this traffic will show a healthy increase during the coming sumner. Pacific coast merchants ana fruit growers are known to look upon Mobile with favor as a point from which to distribute their goods through the southeastern states and something along this line is expected to develop soon.
 INDUSTRY URGED
 MT. Milner, in discussing the Tyler Grocery company letter. suggested that letters be sent to shippers, both for warding and receiving, in every city and community in the territory proXiHate 10 Mobile, urging them to route their shipments by way of Mo bile Other cities are doing this, he stated, and he declared that until Mo bile interests herself along this line she will lose a good deal of the busi- ness that rightfully belongs to her.
 It was pointed out only recently that 2O000 bags of flour were shipped to Mobile by steamer by Portland, Ore. milling company at saving of $1.o0 barrel over the rail route, and that !. further saving can be effected by trans porting freight by barge line to War rior river points.

 AT PALACE THEATEB

The personality of Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle, the noted Padamount come dian ana star, is so distinct and differ ent from that of any other legitimate comedy star, that it might be said MT Arbuckle's pictures are a brand new kind of comedy, unlike any that has ever been shown on the screen.
 In MT. Arbuckle's hand, this color ful role is remarkably effective Mr. Adbuckle vests the part of the fat jolly drummer with a humor that is al once rare and relishable. Betty Ross Clark, a charming actress, is his leading woman.
