CHAMBER ACTIVE .IN..SUPPORT OF PORT COMMERCE
Assistance Given Every E: Project Looking To % Development

The paramount and continuing spe- eial order of business in the Mobile Chamber of Commerce is the develop. ment of the port of Mobile and it's commerce. It has been so from the beginning of the commercial organiza- tion, and will continue to the end
 Every movement for the adoption of the seaport amendment and the legisla- tion that led to the seaport enabling act received important assistance from the Chamber of Commerce, financially and otherwise.
 The statement recently was made in connection with the Know Your Sea port meeting of the Chamber of Con- nnerce that the Mobile commercial body would be entitled to the support it re- ceives, and more, even if it's only con tribution to its city and state had been the help given the seaport.
 But the Chamber of Commerce has done and is doing many other things for the benefit of Mobile.
 The traffic department has effected savings to sihdividuals and to the sec tion through adjustments, the total of which would run into big figures.
 The publicity department has done much to spread the name and fame of Mobile, as a commercial center, sea- port, q summer and winter resort, an agricultural and horticultural point and as good place to live and make a liv- ing.
 These departments, and the foreign trade department, recently organized, are geared-in with the work of the state docks commission, which is not yet or ganized in regard to traffic, port adver- tising and foreign trade pursuit.
 The highway and bridge department has labored patiently for a bridge across Mobile bay to Baldwin county and for better highways in other directions. The bridge eventually will be built and the highways have been greatly improved.
 The tourist and conventions depart ment has brought many visitors to Mo- bile; the agricultural department has assisted in the solution of satsuna, poultry and other problems relating to the farms. of the Mobile bay district The retail department has brought the. merchants of the city into better work ing relations than ever before existed, and the trade expansion department has done much, towards the extension of Mobiles wholesale trade area
 The ChaApber of Commerce entered in May the third year under a plan of organizing and financing that has ma terialy increased the effectiveness of the organization. One of it's chief &C., tivities during the present fiscal year will be in the direction of locating new industries in Mobile and assisting those already here to increase their opera tions-"More and larger pay rolls is the objective phrase.

'Alabama-Its Port And Progress Slogan Of
 Merchants Bank

Build up the business by building up the city. Build up the city by building up it's port and commerce. Alabama, its Port and Progress" has been the slogan.
 This expressed the policy of the Merchants bank of Mobile, which is conducting systematic campaign of advertising, not conducted directly for the benefit of that growing financial institution, but for the city and sea- port, whose expansion will enlarge the banks sphere of operations and its op- portunities for growth Vand ultimate profit.
 This policy Is not new one for the Merchants bank, nor was it adopted on the eve of the $10O0O,OO0 development now being carried out under the Ala bama seaport amendment. The bank formed a partnership with the seaport more than 9 years ago. as a result of which the port has grown and the bank likewise has grown. It has worked out as intended, and has proven profitable to all.

 The federal government has expended about SIG, ,000, 900 to make the Tom bigbee and Warrior rivers navigable to Birmingport and Cordoya.
 < The Black Warrior, Warrior, Tom bigbee and Mobile rivers form virtually single stream extending from Mobile bay to the coal, iron ore and limestone regions in northern Alabama.

COOLIDGE PICKS BEST MEN

. One of Mir. Coolidge'S most important acts while he was governor of Massa- chusetts was the reorganization of the department of state, their reduction in number from something like 118 to 20, and the appointment of 70 new state officials.
 In this reorganization the Coolidge ax knew no friend. He had 70 ap- pointments to make; and after confer ring and consulting day and night as to who the 70 should be, he locked him self in his office alone for about 10 days in order to think the matter out. His nearest friend had done some fluent guessing as to who the 70 would be, and he was successful in guessing only three of them. None of the three was appointed to the positions that the friend had guessed. Nobody reached him on any of the 70.
 The only man who had a hand in the selecting of them was Calvin Coolidge. and his selections were of such quality that the governor who succeeded him reappointed every man,-Kenneth l.. Roberts in the Saturday Evening Post.

the lowest miter sills of all locks.
 Recently the dams were raised two feet so that there is now minimum depth of eight feet throughout the en. tire length of. the system, except for q short period immediately following the hixh-water season. The more narrow sections of the river channel and all sharp bends are being widened 80, as to provide a minimum through channel width of 115O feet. Before improve. ment of these streams navigation during the low water season was impossible on extremely hazardous because of numers ous rock shoals. sand bars, snags and 'oyerhanging trees. F '
 From the head of navigation on thEI Mulberry fork to its junction with tn Locust fork, a distance of S6 miles, thSl stream has an average width of 456 feet and is rather crooked. From the head of navigation on the Locust fork to the Junction with the Mulberry fork, dis tance of IS miles,. the average width IS only 2S5 feet The junction of the two forks from the Black Warrior river, and from this point to the city of Tus- caloosa, a distance of 4S miles. where the river changes its name to Warrior, the channel is fairly straight, with g width of 1000 feet above lock IT and TOO feet from lock IT to Tuscaloosa. The Black Warrior, being a mountain stream, has the greatest slope of the system, there being eight locks and dams in this river.
 Warrior barges landing freight at Mobile, other than coal, use the munich pal wharf. Coal is handled over the coal and ore handling plant on Blakely island, from barge to ship or from barge to storage pile.

 The present project calls for a chan mel depth of 30 feet and width of 800 feet. This, like many of the other changes calculated to advance Ala bama's seaport, originated with Gen. William L. Sibert, U. S. A., retired. who is chairman, chief engineer and general manager of the state docks commission.
 General Sibert is a native of Ala bama. He is giving the genius and experience that made him leader among the Panama Canal builders to the task of building Alabama a greater seaport. His salary in his present positions is but a fraction of that of- fered him for his time and labor on other jobs.
 There is strong and growing de- mand that the state-owned docks be built in their entirety while yet Gen. tral Sibert can be retained to oversee the work and bring it to the most sue cesEful conclusion.

{ The census of 1920 shows the popu- lation of Mobile and it's inmediate suburbs as S4, 600, of which 61 per cent is composed of white Americans, 4 per cent of foreisn-born whites, and 35 per cent negroes. The population of Mobile county, outside the city and suburbs, shows an even larger percentage of ma tive whites.
 Labor for water front and industrial work is abundant and above the aver age in intelligence. The situation has been characterized by freedom from strikes and other labor disturbances. A relatively large percentage of the work ing people of Mobile own. their own homes and the housing situation has been greatly improved by the building in city and suburbs of many cottages and bungalows, which has constituted the chief building activity during the past two years.

The policy of the Merchants bank has been a consistent adherence to the thought expressed in its slogan, For Alabama, Its Port and Progress" The banks sphere of helpfulness and influ- ence has broadened day by day during these years as it grasped every new op- portunity for service. To express it simply, the Merchants bank has evi- denced that it felt its responsibilities in the partnership keenly. That Mobile has sensed the sincerity of her part ner's' efforts is best evidenced by the growth of the institution.

at less cost than through any of the ports of the Atlantic coast. The mineral resources of the state are unlimited. The iron and coal deposits are. easily accessible for distribution by the great river system, and Mobile, by means of this system discharging into the Bay of Mobile, is the nearest and most available point of shipment. The ex- pense of the improvement with coaling station where fuel of excellent quality and at low rates could be had at all seasons of the year and would prove of incalculable value in the event of a maritime war. It would, therefore, seem that the improvement is one of national importance and not merely to the port of Mobile and the state or Alabama"
 Deepening Keeps Pace
 This view has since prevailed, for the deepening of the channel since that time has fairly kept pace with the requirements of commerce. In 1896 project was completed giving 23- foot depth and 2S0-foot width. A 27- foot project was completed in 1915 and the present project, providing for a depth of 30 feet from Chickasawbogue, five miles above the city of Mobile, to deep water in Mobile Bay, was adopted in 1917, and is still uncom- pleted as to width. Dredging by con tract has practically been done way with. In 1912 the government dredge Wahalak was put to work in Mobile bay and she has proven to be one of the most efficient of all the dredges operated by the. United States engineers.
 The channel across Mobile bar, in the open waters of the Gulf requires a dredge of different type from the Wahalak. This outer bar channel is maintained at a depth of B feet at mean low tide. It is 45O feet wide and about one mile long. The total expenditures by the United States for channel improvements at this locality amounted to annroxima telv SID 0On O0n

THE LAST FIGHT OF THE

ARABELLA.
II was the afternoon of that same
day, and the two buccaneer ships
rocked gently with idly Tapping sails
under the lee Of the long spit of land
Port Royal, and less than a mile
from the straits leading into It, which
the fort commanded. 1t was two
hours and more since they had
brought up thereabouts, having crept
thither unobserved by the city and
by M. Rivarols ships, and all the
time the air had been aquiver with
the roar of guns from sea and land,
announcing that battle was Joined be-
tween the French and the defenders
of Port Royal That long, inactive
waiting was straining the nerves of
both Lord willoughby and Van der
Kuylen. Blood faced them, smiling
confidently. Its this way, now:
there's nothing at all to be gained
by precipitancy, and a deal to be
gained by delaying. as I shall show
you, I hope. Sure, it'll be time
enough to go forward when the fort
has shot its bolt. E" He broke off
TO listen. Aye, I was right. The
fires slackening. Ho, there, jeremy
Came the padding of feet along the
decks, the creaking of blocks and
the hoisting of sail. The helm was
put over hard. and in a moment they
were moving, the Elizabeth following,
ever in obedience to the signals from
the Arabella, whilst Ogle the gunner,
whom he had summoned, was recetv-
ing Bloods final instructions before
plunging down to his station on the
main deck
Within a quarter of an hour they
had rounded the head and stood in
to the harbor mouth, within saker
shot of Rivarols three ships, to which
they now abruptly disclosed them
selves.
Where the fort had stood they
now beheld smoking rubbish heap
and the lily standard trailing from
his mastheads was sweeping forward
to snatch the rich prize whose de-
fenses he had shattered.
Blood scanned the French ships,
and chuckled. The Victorieuse and
the Medusa appeared to have taken
no more than a few scars; but the
third ship. the Baleine, listing heav-
ing to larboard so as to keep the
great cash in her starboard we'll
above water, was out of account.
The sight of that great red ship
with her gilt beakhead and open
ports swinging broadside on must have
given check to Rivarol's soaring exul-
tation. Yet before he could move to
give an order, before he could well
resolve what order to give, vol
cano of fire and metal burst upon
him from the buccaneers, and his
