MOBILE STANDS UP AS A BANANA PORT
U. s. Report Shows Growth Of AIabama's Only Sea-
 port In Importance

MOBILE. Ala, Nov. 24-(Special Leased Wlre)-Touching upon almost every imaginable phase of port ar- fairs, from q description of the har- bor, the depths and kind of cargoes handled. to facilities which either ex- p,N4.e vr nUIu pack water transpor- tation, Voluminous report compiled by the board of engineers for rivers and harbors i'll cooperation with the bureau of research of the United States shipping board, made public In Mobile today shows that the local port has taken an importance In the handling of bananas and blaekstrap mola asses for the reason that proper facilities were provided for their expeditions and economical handling, The report Is one or the most ex- haustiye ever Issued on the port of Mobile and much of the data will be utilized by the state docks commls- sion and its program of pert develop ments with proceeds from the S10,000,000 bond issue, approved by the voters of Alabama,
 Commenting on the facilities In Mobile, the report saysi
 Modern warehouse facilities con venlent to shipside are indispensable to the handling of much of the traf- fife which this port should secure. With the exception of few crude products and some perlshable com modities, the imports of the country are usually warehoused at a port and distributed to the interior, ac- oording to demands. We have seen how the facilities at Mobile for the handling of storage of blackstrap mallasses have enabled this port to attain an important position in this trade. We have likewise seen how the facilities for handling and for warding bananas have enabled Mo bile to secure 6 large volume of im- ports for distribution to a wide area of the United States and Canada. The provision of better facilities for the handling and long time storing of high class goods may likewise assist Mobile to a large share of the gen ernl cargo proceeding to and from similar territory.

 The quail crop is good this year, much better than last season, accord ing to Commissioner of Game and Fisheries l. T. Quinn. The season on quail opened November 20 and all reports received at the conservation department indicate an abundance of birds in the coverts this autumn. Commissioner Quinn estimates that Alabama has more quail than any other state in the union, and although he has no figures to back up his estimate, he is of the opinion that census would show 1t to be correct.
 Indications point also to large number of sportsmen afield this sea- son in quest of the elusive quail. the number of licenses, state and county, issued during October beineN around 10000, or about one-half the total issued for the entire last season.
 QuaiIs Fed IsraeIites.
 Tn commenting on the quail and it's characteristics, Commissioner Quinn pointed out that it is not only the outstanding American game bird, but has been famous in history for thous- ands of years. The Old Testament recounts how, when the Children of Israel were hungry in the wilderness an immense flock of quail was blown into their camp by "a wind from the sea" and furnished food for the null titudes, along with the mama sem from heaven. Students of natural history declare that this phenomenon is entirely logical, so far as the quail Is concerned. as the European quail is migratory, and in crossing the Mediterranean birds of the species are frequently so exhausted upon reaching destination that they can be caught with the hand
 The American quail does not possess any such habits, and requires a steady

LUMBER INDUSTRY AT
 FORT DEPOSIT ROOMS
As Result Housing Shortage Is
 Felt-New Homes Going Up

FORT DEPOSIT. Ala, Nov. 24.- Especial, )--For the first time in ten years, every residence in Fort De- posit is occupied and daily applioa- tons are being made for accommo dation of families who wish to move here. Many new homes have been built within the past 60 days. and others are being erected as fast as labor and material can be se- cured. One enterprising citizen has purchased a small tract ofs land, which has been idle for many years. and, it is stated. will erect 20 resi- dences soon. This increased popula- ton is due to the fact that Fort De- posit within the past six months has become the center of an established big lumber industry. testified by the erection of two immense blaming mills within the corporate limits ot the town, while more than 20 new sawmills are in operation within radius of five miles of Fort Deposit for the purpose of furnishing these large plants with the rough ma terial.

PECAN HARVEST SEASON IS NOW ON
100000 Pounds Will Be Gathered In Fort Deposit
 Section Alone

FORT DEPOSIT, Ala, Nov. H. Special )-The Fort Deposit pecan growers are in the midst of the har- vest. Thousands of pounds are being daily shipped to all sections of the United States, and from all indica- tions an exceptionally fine crop will be gathered. Taking into considera- ton the many large orchards with In a radius of five miles of Fort De- posit, a conservative estimation of not less than 1Oo. 900 pounds should be grown and shipped from this point this season. These nuts grown in this. vicinity have the reputation of being the largest and best favored in the south, and command the best price when placed on the market.
 STORES PROSPER
 Judging from the heavy shipments of dry goods and groceries, and the immense crowd of customers which fill the stores, the merchants at this place are doing a splendid business. It seems that about everyone has paid out of debt and has money to buy the luxuries as well as the neces- sities of life. One of the Fort De- pOsit merchants was heard to say that his daily sales at present amounted to as much or more than his weekly sales did several years ago.

 The quail was formerly known ex- clusively as the partridge" in the south. When the European settlers first came to America, they dubbed the wild creatures met with here by the name of the Old World species which they most resembled. The northern settlers called White a quail, and the southerners dubbed him partridge. The difference in designation was probably accentuated by the Civil War, and for some years the use of the appellation 'partridge' was almost an essential, along with knowledge of Father Ryan's poems, in the vocabulary of the patriotic Southerner In recent years, how ever 1t appears sectional diff ferences have large been obliter ated. and Bob White is now almost universally known as a quail. though the term partridge still persists with some individuals.
 Bag Limit Cut.
 Attention Is called to Commissioner Quinn to the fact that the bag limit has been cut from 25 birds formerly to IS this year. The open season was also reduced thirty days by the last legislature, and the season now opens November 20 and closes February 20, whereas formerly it was November 1, to March 1. Before these reductions were made Alabama had the longest open season of any state in the union, and the bag limit was the maximum found anywhere. Commissioner Quinn stated
 In connection with changes in the game laws, attention is called to the fact that under the new law any per son who violates any provision of the game laws must have his license re- voked for the balance of the season, in addition to other penalties pro- vided.
