Sees A Great Opportunity
For Canning Factories To
Put Up Escambia's Produce
Praises the Chamber Of Commerce and
Progressive Citizens For their Good
Work.
lRy ]. c. Pattersonl

~
Several days ago Mr.. Muldeon living
about eight miles west of Pensacola. or
the Nunez Ferry road brought to loca
merchant four large crates and Tuesday
eight large crates of the finest tomatoes
1 have ever seen on the market, some OF
them measuring four and one-half inches
across, solid, and evenly colored.
Escambia raises some fine tomatoes
but these sertainly were extra fine. and
the man, Mr.. Muldon, is deserving OF
praise for the fine product. 1t shows
that with a little cultivation the finest
kind of products can be successfully
grown here. I also see bushels upon
bushels Of the finest beans, peas, beets,
carrots and onions, but am sorry to say
that great quantities Of these fine pro-
ducts had to be shipped away, and after
a while the housewives go to the stores
and purchase the same products canned
because we have no cannery.
Fish and Shrimp.
This is also true of the oysters. fish
and shrimp. There are canneries in 9TH
er cities, but while we have the finest
oysters, fish and shrimp in the state, we
have no canneries. Escambia county is
Immediately in need of canneries, and it
an enterprise that would bring great re-
SUITS and a large return on the invest
ment. am sorry to say that outside of
few of our more progressive men there
seems to be no effort made to utilize the
various blessings that we have laying
at our very doors.
The old custom of eulogizing and her
aiding deeds and planting flowers on our
departed is alright, but a small portion
conferred on the living would be produc-
tive of great results: kind words and APP
probation given to our living individuals
and citizens, not alone by individuals but
by the public. would act as wonderful
to all citizens who are work
ing for the good of the entire community.
Too much praise cannot be given to the
entire body of the Chamber of Commerce
and to the various members of this fine
body OF citizens whom are devoting their
time and energies to the upbuilding and
uplift Of the entire county.
All the various committees of this body
are deserving Of the highest praise for
their unselfish devotion for the communi-
tvs good We would not forget the men
who, by their untiring efforts. have been
the means of reducing freight on the va
rious railroads and inducing shippers to
ship their products through the port of

instrumental in inaugurating a steamship |
inc which will be a wonderful benefit to |

Every citizen should appreciate the
work that has been and Is being ac-
,omplished by these men and give them
he aid and encouragement they deserve. |

MAINTAIN GAINS
IN INDUSTRIES
DURING WEEK
Labor Dispute and Railroad
Rates Fail to Effect Market.
CAR LOADING UP
TO BEFORE STRIKE
Observers Incline to Believe
Strike Crisis Approaching.

NEW YORK, june 25.-Nothwith-
standing the uncertainties comprised in
tthe several labor disputes and the i'm
pending reduction in railroad freight
rates, industry maintained its gains
dorring the past week
Steel mills continued to operate at
nearly rs percent of capacity and the
prices of steel products remained firm.
Buying for prompt shipment was
stronger than that for future delivery.
but this was considered natural by the
trade, since the future course of prices
is rendered uncertain by such factors
as the change in railroad rates. the
coal strike. the possibility of higher
labor costs. and the character of the
autumn demand for steel.
Car Load Gains
Impressive gains were shown by the
latest railroad car loading figures,
those for the week ending June 10
Although coal shipments, which have
been gaining, still amounted to only
95, 600 cars as compared with 205,0
cars in the week before the strike
started, the volume of other freight
increased sufficiently to bring total
up to $4,000 cars. This figure
equals that recorded in the week be-
fore the strike began, which is, in
cidently, the high record for the pear.
Strike Crisis Near
A number Of well posted observers
inclined to the view that a crisis in
the soft coal strike is approaching.
Stocks are beng drawn down and the
lower freight rates on July /, are ex-
nec+ad n stimulate demands In any
event the pressure for added produc-
ton appeared to be growing, a cir
,umstance which favors the view that
the decisive point in the struggle is
