 The total value of shipments from Alaska for March amounted to s1,- O56.4s3 slight decrease as compared with shipments from the territory for the same month last year, accord ing to the monthly report just receiv- ed from the office of the U. s. collec- tor of Customs at Juneau. This fall ing off is due to the decrease in ship ments of canned salmon for the past month compared with March, 1922, when the canned salmon exported amounted to $421,852. Less than $220O worth worth of canned salmon left the territory last month. In point of value copper headed the list of commodities shipped from Alaska during March with 5,450 tons valued at $780.336. Halibut shipments val ued at $110,546 rank second in the list.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF INDUSTRIAL NEWS--
MASON & DILLON
 A RELIABLE FIRM

No job is too small and none too large for Mason & Dulion, whose 16 years of plumbing and heating con tract work in Birmingham have made them a household term. They are doing the heating work for the s500,- coo negro Masonic temple and they have completed the plumbing and heating work at the Cascade Plunge. A neat job there was installation of the modern kitchen, with steam ta- bles, etc. They have also completed the plumbing work in 50 houses built at Fairfield for W. A. Watts. The firm keeps four motor trucks busy on repair work and three on contract work. The yellow and black coloyS on their service cars are familiar sights in Birmingham. This firm makes a speciality of repairs and in- vites small jobs. It does the big work, but it also goes out for the little work and does world of that. The firm brides itself on it's relia- bility, it's promptness and it's atten- tion to little as well as bij jobs, giv- ing thes anne to all.

 HERE AT THE START

As old as Birmingham, Roberts &
 Son, 1S10-12 Third avenue, is typical of the city and the district in the steady growth both have maintained. This firm began business in BIrming- ham in 1872, the late Willis Roberts being the senior partner. It had one Gordon job press run by foot power and it was housed on the second floor
 of building on Twentieth street, between Third and Fourth avenues. Now it occupies a handsome four story brick edifice with basem ant and every foot is required for the more than statewide business done In printing. binding. book and catalogue publishing, lithographing, emhossng and engraving and the handling of all manner of office supplies and furniture, as well as full line of sta tionery For time the firm pub lished the Iron Age, but later the printing business had grown so large that Mr. Roberts sold the newspap per and the business has since expanded in all lines of the printing art and in

of Alabama farmers The Alabama agency with warehouse and head quarters in Birmingham reports more
 than 100 per cent increase in sales
 of all kinds of farming machinery
 this year with especially high marks
 made in sales of motor trucks and wagons. The outlook is reported as
 very good for the remainder of the year.
 Heavy Pipe Movement.
 The movement of cast iron pipe to the Pacific coast does not vary. It is continuously heavy via Mobile and l the canal. It is estimated by those
 in position to know that Birmingham
 moved 100000 tons of pipe to the
 Pacific coast this year and the pros- 1 pect for the remainder of the year
 is just as good. Orders for 15,000 to 10000 tons of pressure pipe alone have been booked for Pacific coast by Birmingham makers in the past few weeks.
 Export ConI.
 A regular export coal trade to the West Indies appears to have deVel-
 oped. Demerara took 1000 tons last
 week via Mobile and another cargo for various members of the Wind
 ward Island group Is due to leave.
 Appointment of J. D. Whatley as sales agent of the DeBardeleben Coal corporation, effective October 1, Is in- l dication of the expansion policy of that concern in Alabama bunker and
 export coal for gulf and South Amer lean countries.
 New Structural Record. Alabama's structural record this year reflects the unusual activities
 in that direction. Total valuation of
 work started in Alabama in the first six months of this year foots up $31,326,0 0OO and of this $6,7S5, ,00O is credited to Birmingham. Birming- ham is breaking all prior records, the previous high marks for an entire year being $6659,000 in 1921 and S7491,000 in 1922.
 Memphis Takes Pipe.
 While the pressure pipe market
 has not been as active as it was some
 time ago, new orders for sizable tonnage still come in. The United States Pipe company booked 1000
 tons of 24-inch pipe for Memphis last week. The American Cast Iron Pipe company has booked 2,446 tons for Los Angeles and 490 tons for Sidney, Ohio. The pressure pipe shops have orders to capacity for some time to
 come. The base price remains at $49. Sanitary pipe is slow at S65

Kauri Is Found That Is Estimated to

Years Old.

One Of the largest trees in the
world. If not the largest, has been dis
covered in the bush at Waihou, HOki-
anga, New Zealand. II is huge kauri
tree, the vast trunk rising to a height
of seventy-five feet before being
broken by the first branch, and meas
uring twenty-five feet In diameter and
slxty-slx feet. or approximately
chain, in girth.
A well-known bush expert estimates
the tree to contain more than 1885,
600 superficial feet of timber, suffi-
cient to build three dOuble-storied
hotels Of twenty rooms each from
floor to ceiling.
It is to be hoped that this remark
able tree will be zealOusly guarded
from destruction and preserved to
show future generations what the
lordly kauri at Its best was like. From
a marketable point of view 1t would
be impossible to fell It, much less
break It down, no mill possessing saws
big enough to tackle It.
The age of the giant is estimated to
be at least 1000 years, and. carefully

Century of Lonn Troussrs

This year marks the hundredth an
niversary of the official adoption of
long trousers as the male garment.
Although Beau Brummel had worn
them half dozen years before, and
they had become an accepted fashion"
in 1921, it was in 1923 that they re-
ceived official sanction, replacing
breeches and leggings in the British
infantry. The Irish had worn a sort
Of trousers in the Seventeenth cen
fury, but they bore but little resem-
blance to the modern garment. Even
Beau Brummers trousers would be
counted a curiosity today, for they
buttoned at the ankle. Yet they un-
dOubtedly are the garment from which
the modern 'IOng pants" has been
evolved.
