West win be- a stopping point for
passengers.
Total traffic in freight of the
Sea Train to New Orleans and
of the p. g. o. ferries at Port
Everglades has been noted, and
if the company secures one third
of the contracts the company
will profit well. MIR. Gill be-
lieves this can be done.
Trucks will later be purchased
by the company which will load
at the plantations and run di-
rectly to the boats for ship
ment. Cost of transportation
for bananas will be reduced
sou. Mr.. Gill believes. Passen-
ger and car fares will be down
to a minimum also. No cars will
be transported, however, until
the two larger boats are put in
to service.
Mr.. Gill pointed out that the
American government with its
reciprocity treaties and lenient
attitude toward Cuba has greatly
favored export of Cuban prod
ucts and is in favor of increased
shipping. In Cuba, well known
bankers and governmental Off
cials are said 10 be behind the
project and incorporated in the
company. The Cuban govern.
ment favors the new line be-
cause of increased freight ex-
ports and increased passenger
influx with greater service.
Far in the future and not in
immediate planning is extension
of the company's ship lines to
Yucatan, Mexico and other Gen.
trail and South American points
to exploit the rich markets there.
Passenger traffic on the Pan
American highway route to South
America win be encouraged.

4 Lieut.. Comdr. F. H. Callahan,
in charge of Key West Naval
Radio Station, told The Citizen
today that he would investigate
the possibility of sheathing
broadcasting equipment at the

Small shoalwater oysters from

A case Of oyster seed nominally
produces from $4,000 to 5000 Pa

tldeland now used for oyster culti-
walton last year produced approx
imately 100000 bushels of oysters,
most of which were marketed in
Pacific Coast cities.
AT present there are II oyster
canneries on Willapa Harbor, five
