mittee' 5 report for the year 1897, which

persons for different periods. We have
about - insane persons that are

an insane asylum of our own, the eX-
penSeS of these persons alone would
be reduced one-half, making saving
of nearly 100000 annually to the

The present poor farm is located on
very poor soil, considering the amount
of good soil that we have in the
county, and it is too small to accom-
modate the growing needs of this in

at a reasonable price, provided it
would be deemed advisable on the

Judge LYONS was of the opinion that
both of these institutions could be
handled with greater economy under
one management. They would not
necessarily have to be within closer
distance than a quarter of a mile,
which would be enough to keep the in
mates of the different institutions
from intermingling.

CANAL TO WARRIOR RIVER
 IS UNDOUBTEDLY FEASIBLE

all streams were very low, an1 there had been long continued drouth. The amount of water then in Valley river, at the sum- init level of this part, was not enough to operate the canal so that it will be neces- sary to make storage reservoir at or near McAdory. The valleys at that point are very favorable for that purpose. Two dams are recommended, which, togethe", will im- pound enough water to supply the canal for three months without rain. In the canal proper, storage reservoir must be built at the headquarters of Five Mile creek, but even with this, it Is doubtful if the canal can be operated throughout the year. If, however. the work is confined at present to canalizing Valley river and building storage reservoirs, which also can be used as loading basins. the savings on freight will be enough to build up a large export trade, and I can answer that the project Is both feasible and advisable. Brigadier John M. Wilson, in his report to Secretary of War Alger adopts these words, feasible and advisable" The only dissonant note in the four reports taking them in the fir true animus, Is that of Coional aines-lack of deep water below canal to gulf-and that is obviated by an appropriation. now in course of disburse- ment I should say that Major Rossell's report and the engineer. Joseph Ripley, who conducted the survey, are as near ad- vocacy of the canal as it Is decorous to be. Why do I say SO? Both use language obiter dicto-entirely unnecessary to mere narration or discharge of functions. Ma> jor Rossel travels out of the record to say: ''T'he Birmingham district. which today probably dictates the price of pig iron to the world (the connection of the famous district by water) I can answer is both feasible and advisable"
 The earnestness of commendation if should not say advocacy. of the canal on the part of Engineer-in-charge Ripley. is minute in its cordiality or particuarization. Thus. the Birmingham mineral district is remarkable one for extent quality and proximity of iron, coal and limestone de- posits. And then he goes on with enlarge ment in words that would grace the pros- pectus of a real estate agent having land for sale there. Then he takes up the coai fields: "rhere is every variety of bitumin- ous coal, some excellent for cooking others for iron ore smeting for heating. steam ing and all domestic purposes Then he talks about limestone dolomite. etc. and says: 'The quantity of each mineral is inexhaustible for centuries" He tells lots about this and that, and caps the climax of gratuitous commendation by saving: "The largest pipe works in the United States are located at Bessemer." What would he have said. had he waited until the steel. the rod and nail mill. the Semet- Solvey process. had come to Ensley?

with at a reasonable cost. This question is answered by the government report now in my hands. The objection of Colonel uains, dated December 3, 1890, based upon the absence of sufficient improvement in the Warrior river, was met and overcome by the subsequent action of congress and the appropriation of $S00.000 to the improve ment of that river, t1us giving naYigaDle channel from the connection with the War rior river. On thls basis, therefore, there Is no objection on the part of the govern- ment, and it means only the recommends ton of construction of the desired improve mants from Bessemer to the Warrior river, at a cost of $4,500000 There is, however, objection raised to the construction of the other portion from Birmingham to Besse- mer on the ground, as stated by MT. Rip lea, Ot an inadequate water supply. MT. Ripley very properly in his report is ultra conservative, magnifying the difficulties and minimizing what might be called the assets of the enterprise. He estimates that taking into consideration the present sur- face water to be collected from the valley watershed, there would not be adequate supply of water to maintain a sixty-foot canal, taking into consideration the loss of water by lockage, by evaporation and by absorption into the ground. The answers to this position are:
 T. That the locks are so near together that they would afford, for the present, Sufnclent pdSs1nB pldceS, ana tno CdndA DS- tween them might be built thirty feet wide instead of sixty, thus reducing by one half the estimated loss by evaporation and by absorption into the ground.
 ''2. No allowance Is made for the neces- sary period of overhauling and repairs dur ing the year during which, whenever navi- gation is stopped for the purpose of clear ing the locks, the storage reservoir at tho head of the canal would be filling.
 "3 No allowance was made in calcula- tion for the sewerage of Birmingham, which, however, clarified or treated as it must be for hygienic reasons, will ulti- mately be delivered to this waterway, and swell the amount available for navigation. This represents the water from Cahaba river, brought across the mountain, and delivered to Birmingham, and with the present growth of Birmingham's popula- tion it is safe to say that there would be an increase in the delivery of water to the city and it's suburbs each year of 5OO,OOO gallons per day over the preceding year; so that, after allowing for proportion of this evaporating into steam there will still be a very substantial increase in the re- mander available for navigation.
 tf The increase in the mining Of coal Tn the Pratt basin as present is nearly DUO tons per day in each year above the output of the previous year. This represents an increased annual volume of pumping rom the mines of 1, ,00O gallons.
 "Supposing then that one-half of the in- creased water supply of the city and su- burbs finds it's way by sewerage to the ca nal and that this amount is added todhe increased volume of pumping from the mines there will be in each year lo00,OU0 @-~~--~-~-----~1-~ -~->->>--~->--(------

Mind you, am not criticisng all this I think 1t we'll said, but l am making this point: that these men believe in a canal and are anxious to promote it by every de- eorous appliance of commendation Shall laymen dispute science? Shall Birming- hamians be less interested in her material welfare than these United States engin- eers? Let no man doubt that all the men, save one, perhaps, whose names are in this report, believe in canal or a canalized river from the Warrior to McAdory-a lit tie below Bessemer. From McAdory to Birmingham there Is doubt as to water. The Valley river from McAdory down Is about forty miles and empties into the Warrior. For canaliZing this river from McAdory mill to the Warrior the estimat- ed cost is $4,500,000 The physical situation Is superb, indeed ideal. Listen to Major Rossell: "The whole line is laid out so that there are put few places where the canal will be in fill. This reduces loss from filtration and also dangers to construction to a minimum, etc. The country through which the Valley river runs is very broken and rocky, with high banks. There Is no danger to be apprehended from overfows caused by the fixed dams, and stone for construction Is everywhere available There is no question of the feasibility of building this line. have carefully gone over the plats to see If high lifts could be used with economy instead of ordinary locks and dams, and find that locks with lifts of 10 feet are the best for the whole line." He then gives twenty-one locks as necessary for this branch from McAdory to the Warrior river. He also provides for reservoirs, and says that "the project is both feasible and advisable" So it will be seen that there ought to be no doubt in anyone's mind as to the canal (canalized river) from McAdory mill to the Warrior. The engineers all say so, and who can re- pudiate their report? Even the dissenting engineer has his ground cut from under him by the governments appropriation. Everything is now clear up to McAdory mill. How from there to Birmingham or Five Mile creek? Mind you, it Is feasible" on this branch. Now comes Hon. James Bowron, who is one of the greatest of au- thorites on all questions he discusses. There is flood of light. and water, too, in the following letter:
 "Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad Co.,,
 Birmingham, Ala. August T, 1899.
 "To the Editor of The Tlmes-Democrat:
 Your representative asks me if l indorse the project of a waterway direct from Birmingham via Bessemer to the Warrior river and thence to the gulf. l say, of course do, and regard it as of paramount importance to the early development Of this district and to our attainment of the position that is naturally our due.
 "When water transportation is so much cheaper than rail that we can deliver ir- mingham pig iron more cheaply in Liver pool than in Chicago, 1t is obviously the duty of every business man to promote the development of such water transportation; and since it has been first proposed in this district. have only waited to ascertain whether the engineering difficulties to be overcome were such as could be grappled

UNCLE SAM CLEANING HIS NUMEROUS
 HOUSES IN THE CITY OF WASHINGTON

And so 1t has been left vacant until now. The worshippers of heroes have all sorts of suggestions to offer now. The presi- dents friends want it to be an apotheosis of Mckinley, seeing the states all re- united in peace and the various colonies of Spain freed from her tyranny. They are sure they can get the consent of the next congress to carry out this idea that artists are already at work on designs to express this thought. There is another con- tingent which thinks that the battle of Manila bay is all that is needed to fill this spot appropriately and will oppose any other thought being represented. It will be merry war of rivals and their friends for this honor, and possibly congress will decide to wait for a still more striking event before filling the gap which is such an eye sore to the dome at the present time.
 One objection to be made, and which probably will be made, is that it will not be artistic, nor proper, to portray on th.s historic freize the face of any living man. The suggestion has been made to devote the remaining panel of the work to vents of the civil war, bue neither the house nor the senate have ever taken kindly to this suggestion for the reason that 1t would only make perpetual in the nations capi- tol very unpleasant event in the nations life.
 One of the things which is receiving large amount of the appropriation is the roof of the capitol. It was so badly dam aged during the blizzard that it will be necessary to go over the entire roof with strips of corrugated copper Over one hundred panes of glass, five feet by three, must be put in the skylights to take tho places of those which Were broken last winter by the weight of the snow on them. There are two electric plants in the capi- tol and when the system is completed this fall there will be over 1200O lights in the capitol building, including hundreds which will be placed within the dome. These will be lighted for the first time in honor of Deweys ,me-coming. Hereafter when the house or the senate is in session at night the dome will be lighted and can be seen for miles around the surrounding country. The only time this dome was ever lighted so that it could be seen from any distance was at the fall of Richmond, when candles were placed behind the little oblong slots of glass in the arch of the lotunda.
