IT'S COMMERCE GROWING,

IT'S COMMERCE GROWING.
Col. Barlow says: THE commerce of the
Upper Tennessee and its tributaries is
growing rapidly. The prospective demands
Of commerce wilt probably require before
many years new project with revised
estimates, having in view radical improve
ment of its upper waters, resultant from
an open navigable lower river to the great
Mississippi system, the opening of the Mus
sci Shoals canal, and also by reason of the
improvement OF the copious upper river
tributaries
THE ESTIMATED COST.
The original estimate of the cost of inn
proving the Tennessee river was So, sos 600.
OF this amonnt s., ,208, 600 has been appro-
priated ~ S3, ,OG4, 10 expended. For other
improvements under his charge Col Barlow
recommends the following appropriations:

MOBILES HARBOR,
The work of improving the harbOr at
Mobile, Maj. Damrell says in his annual
report to the chief of engineers, was begun
in 1927. In the first thirty years the APP
preparations by congress amounted
to 1928, $50, and the result was a 10
foot channel, 20 feet wide over the
bar. From 1857 to 1870 no work was done,
but the next five years S401 900 were appro-
priated with view Of securing 13-foot
channel, and it was accomplished IN 1876.
In 1881 the project OF securing a 17-fOoG
channel 200 feet wide was begun, the esti-
mated cost being $4,000. Up to 1886
$3.50, 900 were appropriated and expended.
A l7-foot channel, 70 feet wide, was opened
in 1882. In 1885 the project of dredging the
channel % feet deep was broached and ap
proved i'll August, 1888. This was esti-
mated to cost 81 $3.50, 900. 1t will cost $50, 900
annually to keep it open after being once
dredged. During the last fiscal year
depth of 22S feet was once aeached, the
average depth being IS feet. Maj. DamrelI
reports that $50, 600 can be expended next
year on the work. During the year 1S8S-89
240 vessels of greater draught than
13 feet passed through the channel
without delay. The total number of
entrances and clearances at Mobile during
the year was 40, with u tonnage Of 239, 800.
The collections were $50, 179; the value of
the exports, $3, 1872, ,997; of the imports,
1858, ,S62 For other improvements under
his charge Maj. Damrell recommends ap-
preparations as follows: Black Warrior
river. Alabama, $500,000; Warrior river,
$4,000; Tombigbee river, So, 900; Noxubee
river, 5000; Pascagoula river, $50, 200;

FIVE KILLED IN A FAUD.

a Prospect of Additional Loss of Life
Before the End is Reached.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, July l9-For several
years feud has existed between the fami-
lies Of Simpson and Howton, in tho extreme
western portion of this county. 1t began
by Tom Simpson killing one OF the How
tens, for which he was tried in the criminal
court here. A mistral resulted and Simp-
son was released on bail, which he subse-
quenty forfeited, aud reward Of 500 was
offered for his arrest.
THE SECOND TRAGEDY.
The next tragedy was the death Of an
other Howten by a shot from ambush as he
was riding along the road. Recently Of
fcers Of the law have been trying to arrest
Tom simpson, who was known 10 be in the
vicinity of Mud crook. Yesterday Deputy
Sheriffs Glenn, Scroggins and w. b. Nor
gan went down 70 Mud creek and secured
the assistance Of two Of the Howtens, and
last night surrounded Simpson in gin
house, where he was sleeping in company
with another man and negro.
SIMPSON SHOT DEAD.
At daylight Tom came out looking around
and was promptly ordered by Deputy
Scroggins to throw up his hands and sur
render. Instead Of doing so he rushed
around the house with a bullet from Scrog-
gins pistol whis5ling after him and was
met by a bullet from j. b. Howten's gun
and fell doad At almost tho same instant
two guns were fired from the gin
house, killing Morgan and fatally
wounding J. 3. Howten. The inmates of
tho gin house, whoever they are, have bar
ricaded and defy arrest j. G. Howten at
once came 10 Birmingham for assistance,
leaving Deputy Scroggins on guard, as
Sheriff Smith at once dispatched seven
deputies armed with Winchesters to the
sceno OF the difficulty.

Will Marcus Johnson succeed Col
lectOr Bierman?
Unless all signs fail there was some
tall scheming going OH at the Mer-
chants yesterday, which is very apt TO
have its influence in Washington at the.
end of the holiday recess, Senator
Marcus johnson, who came in from his
home IN the wilds of Kandiyohi on Sat-
urday, was cloSeted all day yesterday
with Congressman 'Dar" 5. Hall and
HalvOr f. Boon, of Fergus Falls, one of
the leading Scandinavian politicians of
the Fifth district. This meeting was
held for the purpose of SoliGifying the.
Scandin3vianS for Johnson. ,sl
A year ago Congressman COmstock
and other Fifth district leaders PROM.
ised Judge Frankberg their support for
collector. The judge is the chairman of
the Republican county committee of OF
ter Tail county; and, besides being a
leading Scandinavian, is a prominent
leader and a great party worker. The
great Squabble over the election of a
senator last winter damaged Judge
Frankberg's chances greatly, and he
seems to have dropped entirely out of
the race, but that such is not the case is
evident from the fact that Mr.. Boon
ard John &. Nelson are still
stoutly insisting that the judge must
have something. Mr.. Boon represented
MIR. Frankberg in yesterdays confer
ence, and the judge will be taken
care of.
"You can say" said politician who
knows what was done, ''that Marcus
johnson will be made collector. and that
Judge Frankberg will be given good
fat place under the new collector.
Frankberg's backing. added to that of
johnson, will make Marcus almost lii
vincible. Donahower will get the mar
ShalShip."
