BARGE LINE BIGGEST
 MOBILE PORT ASSET, JAP EXPERT ASSERTS

A Japanese maritime expert, who IS now in Mobile where three vessels are simultaneously loading with pro ducts of Birmingham steel mills and by-product plants for his country, declares that the most important asset which the port of Mobile has is the Warrior river barge line" This statement was made by Kuni- hiko Sukawa, professor of the im- perial government nautical college, Tolio, and judge of the higher ma rine court of Japan.
 Mr. Kunihilzo is rounding out a years tour of Europe and this coun- try studying maritime affairs and came to Mobile on one of the ships putting in there to carry Birming- ham steel products to Japan. Japan has been steady customer of the Ensley and Fairfield mills for more than two years and five ships of average cargo of 5000 to 5000 tons of these products have left Mobile for that country in the last six months. The three now loading will take about 12,00O tons, it. is under stood, a portion of the cargo being ammonium sulphate.
 The Mobile Register in an inter- view with MT. Kunihiko quotes him as saying:
 Japan is greatly in need of all kinds of steel and iron and We are also in need of cotton Mobile is the logical steel export point, since much of the steel moves from the Birming- ham district, and l see no reason why she should not handle the cot tom
 It was in connection with tie ex- port business that MT Kunihiko ex- pressed himself as believing the War rior barge line to be the most inn portant asset of the port of Mobile. His country having imported tens of thousands of tons of steel products via the Warrior river and the port of Mobile, Mr. Kunihiko is familiar with the movement and the eeono- mics involved in transportation via the barge line and Mobile port.

HIDE AND TALON. PLANT GUTTED BY F|RE; LOSS $15,000
Dense Smoke From Burning Skins Hinder Work of Fire men Who Break Wall
 to Enter

Damages approXimating S15,000 were sustained Monday night when the interior of the brick building occupied by. the office and ware rooms of the Alabama Hide and Ta1- low company, 160S-161O Ninth ave- nue, north. was gutted by flames arising from an unknown source Much headway was gained before the fire was discovered and an alarm turned in at , :45. Bremen arriving on the scene were handicapped by finding the place locked, but the front door was broken through and streams of water were soon pouring or the flames. It was also necessary to knock holes through the wall with crowbars to reach the fire from the side. Dense smoke. arising from the burning tallow and hides, hindered the firemen.
 Originating in the cellar, where most of the stock was stored, the flames ate through the flooring in the center and rear of the building and were seriously threatening the rooei when streams of water from tEe front and side began to pour
 
 about $50, three hours after the start of the battle. Fire, shoulder ing among the closely packed bales of hides and tallow. was literally drowned out; the basement was found to be standing in six feet of water after the fire was out and the dense smoke had cleared enough to per- init entrance.
 Preparations were made at one time to clear the wooden building, housing feed stuffs of the stables of If. N. Bowdry, contractor, adjoining the brick structure, in order to pierce the wall on the left side and gain another entrance to fight the blaze, but noticeable sackening of the flames made 1t unnecessary. Early reports that the Bowdry stables had burned proved to be un- true.
 Dr. Charlie Barber, owner of the | building. a 50x1O0 foot structure, stated that he valued the property | at about $4000, of which about $3.500 was covered by insurance. The building had one story above ground, and a complete lower floor, which served as basement and store-room to the hide and tallow company. Led by Fire Chief Akin, two fire wagons from Station l, and one wag- on from Station 6. promptly reached the scene. The alarm was turned in by an employe of II. \. Bowdry, con tractor, whose stables are in the rear of the building occupied by the hide and tallow company.
 Milton Silverfield. one of the own CTS of the hide and tallow company, stated that insurance was about s9.00O.

President /. B. Koch complimented
Mr.. Cameron on the splendid program
he had arranged.
Mr.. Koch solemnly charged each
Rotarian with seeing at least one elig-
ible. non-member of Battery D before
next Tuesdays meeting to try and get
him into the Battery This request
came after the reading of a letter to
the club from Captain Harry Embach,
commanding the battery, who said
that of the present enlisted strength
of II men, 8 have moved out of the
state and IL live in the country or for
other reasons cannot attend drill reg
ularly. This leaves only 46 men and
there should be 65 attending weekly
drills. He asked cooperation of the
club in getting the new enlistments.
Mr. Koch also spoke of the high
character of entertainments Miss Cos
tigan is giving at the Orpheum. "She
affords us the only regular evening
amusements we have" he said. "Al-
though the show Monday night was
wonderful only a handful attended,
We Flagstaff people are very slow to
show our appreciation of what is be-
ing done for US here by Miss
Costigan. It is no credit to Flagstaff
to have show like we had Monday
night and then have hardly anyone
there to enjoy it."
Mr.. Koch announced that the full
six and a half million dollar forest
roads and trails appropriation bill had
passed the senate and said kilograms
had been sent that morning to our
people in congress thanking them for
their efforts on behalf of this bill
which means so much to this state and
to Flagstaff.
Mr.. Koch appointed DR.. Mackey and
Ed Miller a committee to help Bill
McClurken, chairman for February 20
