R PLEh FOR THE
 TREES OF BIRMINGHAM

Something should be done to stop the wanton killing of shade trees around the city If Birmingham" said City Engineer Kendrick the other day. Horses are the cause of most of this, or rather the people who hitch horses to or near tree. Tho horse eats great hole in the bark of the tree, and in week or two we notice it has begun to die. These omnipresent ad- vertisers who nail their tin and wooden signs to almost everything sticking out of tho ground, also kill numbers of trees every year. There are rigid ordinances in Bir- mingham covering these two offenses, but there seems to be no public sentiment on the part of the people to assist the police in carrying them out. Citizens should report these things to the police department, and think that our shade trees would then get better protection.
 "In the city of Brooklyn, there Is a regu- lar organization called the Brooklyn Tree society, which has for its object the caring for and protection of the trees in that city. The society has it's experts who will go, free of charge, to any part of the city to doctor up tree which seems to be dying, and to give instructions about trimming them, etc. The society also distributes a great deal of literature, especially among the school children, with whom they try to develop a genuine love for a tree By the time tho children leave the public schools, they know great deal of the bot any of the tree, and how to care for and protect theDi."

place te put the garbage aFoand Birmine- ham, the court decided that tho dump was nuisance and must be abated.
 Grematory With No Smell
 The city had a crematory which was in operation from about 1890 to 1896. but was o1scontinued on account of the cost of op- eratlng. Besides the citizens living in the neighborhood said they had about as soon smell the garbage itself as to smell the smoke which 1t gave off when it was burnt A new erematory-the old one Is burnt en- tirely out-it is estimated will cost ten twenty or thirty thousand dollars, accord Ing to size. The most modern erematories are built on such scientific principles that all Of the smoke given out is itself burned up, so that there is no odor at all given out Dy the plant. This is the kind that Bir- mingham must have.
 storm Sewers d Stret Improvements
 There are a large number of street i'm. proVements which the people of the city want, which will very probably be done Wlthln the next year or two. For instance more storm sewers must be put down on the South Highlands. As 1t Is now the water rushes down off of the mountain and tears up all the street paving that can be put down. This has been the case for the past ten of fifteen years. Then a num- Der of citizens on south Twentieth street
 
 Fourteenth avenue, and a year or two ago sixty per cent. of the citizens signed peti- tion to that effect. This includes the pay ing Of the street, Twentieth street hill ," Whlcn has always been an engineering problem. Aldorman-elect Harry Jones, from the Eighth ward, however, says that he is going to make it his business, when he gets in the council, to see that this hill Is paved. It has been macadamized and chirted so much, only to be washed away by the first hard rain, that it has become regular nuisance.
 Then number of people living in the First ward want sidewalks, curbstones and other street improvements. Alderman Wheeler is said to have declared that he was not going to be satisfied until there was a cement sidewalk running from his portion of the city, all the way to Twen- ti9th street; just as there are in other wards.
 All these, and more too, are the works of municipal improvement which the new ad- ministration will have to handle. The To- tiring administration has wanted to settle them, but hasn't had the money that the new one will have. Nevertheless, the old has been by no means idle, and besides completing a great number of improve monts, have begun 0 number of others for the new administration to carry out. AL ready bids have been advertised for to be put down on north Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, in the neighborhood of Sixth avenue and Twenty-ninth street; on Avenue F, all tho way from Twentieth to Seventh streets; grading storm sewers, ma- cadamizing, sidewalks and the like. on the short route dummy in the neighborhood of Beeler's station; a sanitary sewer for the Huntsville avenue territory, and a number of other Improvements.

INCREASED USE
Recommends the Gas Stove to House.
 keepers.

The past year has seen a rapid increase in the use of gas cooking stoves. The req son of this is that experience, that good teacher, has taught housewives that the gas cooking stove is the best.
 It is cheaper, cleaner and safer, more than this it gives the best results. Proper ly used gas costs less than any other fuel, as every particle of the heat furnished is utilized, no preparation is necessary, the gas is turned on and match is applied and in one-third of the usual time, the stove is heated through and through. When the meal is cooked, the gas is turned off and only the necessary fuel is consumed.
 Another great advantage a gas stove pos- sesses is it's cleanliness, no coal has to be brought into the kitchen. the ash nuisance is consequently eliminated. The gas stove especially comments itself as stove for use in the summer, as it does not make the kitchen place to be summed, and currents of hot air are not waited through the house. These stoves are so constructed that all the heat is retained within the oven, this result is accomplished by the use of asbestos which is a non-conductor of heat and is placed between the oven and the out side walls of the stove. Another point in favor of the gas stove, which recommends 1t highly to economical housekeepers, is the fact that it is not necessary to fire up the entire stove to heat water or make 0 cup of coffee. The burners are so arranged that each one is independent of the other, only those necessary are lighted. It is much better for cooking purposes. for the simple reason that the same degree of heat can be maintained, or it can be increased or lowered instantaneously. To people of moderate means, especially those who do their own house work, it comments itself on the ground of economy and cleanliness. The rich and poor elike find it necessity and a luxury. Once it is introduced into

Good Reputation

Good honest work will tell, and in time will bring success. Such a result has been attained by the Oak Hill Stone and Marble works, s. M. Meighan, manager. MT. Meighan has been in Birmingham fifteen years, and the class of work done by him has made him successful man. The con- pany's property is situated on Nineteenth street, opposite the cemetery, and carry in stock a large amount of marble, granite and different kinds of stone. Some of the best pieces of masonry in the county was done under MT. Meighan's supervision, along the line of the Louisville and Nash vile railway. The company did the ma sorry work on the immense steel plants at Ensley City; it is at present construct ing number of handsome stone residences around Birmingham.

 At tho office of the Birmingham Gas Co.,, No. 213 North Nineteenth street. can al- ways be found a complete line of gas stoves and heaters. Last year, at cost of $25,000, the company erected a new gas holder of 200, 900 cubic feet capacity, and in several portions of the city laid larger mains. *+"

voters directly TO express their prefer

persons deserving to become candi-

themselves beforehand TO the people,

THEY DIDN'T DO 1T.

The long-continued contest over the
election OF United States Senator
from Utah to succeed ex Senator Frauk
j. Cannon is over and there has been
no choice made. AS result for the
next two years Utah will be represent
ed in the Upper House Of the National
Legislature by only one Senator, VINO,
though able, brave and honest, should
yet have been given the assistance OF a
qualified colleague TO help labor Tor
the interests of this young State. Never
did Utah have greater need of the SER

lion In Congress Than az The present
time, when We seem To be on the eve Of

there Is certainty OF matters OF Ma

say that we are bitterly disappointed

fortune To the State aud does not in-

A MINING SUGGESTION.


In view of The passage Of the new
mining law which restores The original
records 10 the several miring districts
Of the State, aud requires a system Of
dual records, one In the district aud
one in the county seat, II will become
necessary. or ut least advisable. TO re-
organize many of the old districts aud
TO elect new mining recorders where
that duty has been neg .ected for the
past two years. When the miners
meetings are held for this purpose, we
believe there is one matter which
should receive attention aud which hns
heretofore been overlooked in every
district In The State. We are advised
by recorders and Others that consider
able confusion Is created in therecords
from the fact that two or more Local
lions in the same districl bear the same
name. II Can easily be seen how con.
fusion would result. and IL rs easily
liable TO cause much trouble over
titles in case Of transfers. TINS matter
can, however, be easily remedied, and
we would recommend TO this end that
when the miners meetings are held In
each district that rule be adopted In
the local laws prohibiting the giving of
4 name TO any location, VIXEN that
name already appears on the records
OF the dis rict ~ OF prior location.
This rs a matter which cannot well be
passed upon by the Stale Legislature,
but Il can easily be settled by the min
ers OF each district. We believe II will
work for good aud that IL should he
tried by the miners and prospectors.
