Extra Session of Council.

The council met in extra ses-

son in the chair, for the first
time in several weeks. All the
Aldermen present except Knapp

doubt concrete would have
been used long ago had it been
possible to employ a portable
machine capable of forming
blocks of all desired sizes. It ii
just such a machine that Mr..
Palmer has invented.
A house builtof these followed
concrete blocks in external ap
pearance is as handsome as any
structure built of the finest sand
stone. Indeed, even close In
spection often fails to reveal The
material of which the house is
built. We doubt whether any ot
our readers would be able to tel
OF what material the ha1f-con
pleted dwelling picture in one 81
our illustrations is built; an
yet the entire building was Ell
ected with concrete blocks mold
ed in the machines described.
1t is one of the pecu1arities d
this system OF construction tl1a
the machine which forms th
essential element is so designe
that blocks of any desired pr
portions can be nodded. Thu
it becomes possible to use but
single machine for the moldin
of blocks to be used in many diE
ferent parts of a building
course of erection. Indeed,
may safely be said that the au
cess of this method of buildin
depends upon the adaptability
the machine for making NOR
than one size of blocks. 1t ca
be easily understood that little
anything would be be gained
it were necessary to use a sepa
ate machine for each par ticula
size of concrete block which might
be needed.
Our illustrations sufficient
show the possibilities of mold
ing blocks of different desigu
In the building illustrated, thk
blocks we're made to simulat
with remarkable accuracy t
appearance of cut stone. 1t
possible, however, to produ
blocks in which complicated
terms are cast with an effect
would seem attainab1e or1x
the deft hand of a skilled
carver.

learns that the whole controversy
centers upon Canada's effort to
acquire an outlet to the sea. It
is known authoritative1y that the
Canadian agent asserts that un-
der the Russo-British treaty of
1925, the line properly crosses
numerous inlets, including the
headwaters of the Lynn canal.
The contention seems to be that
the inlets less than six miles wide
situated in the disputed region
belong to Canada. United States
Counsel Foster vigorously OPP
poses this view, holding that the
treaty clearly places the line
thirty miles inland following the
sinuosities of the coast, and thus
separated Canada from all the
arms of the ocean and puts Por-
cupine creek and the gold dis
trict under American iurisdic-
ton.
The American representatives
are confident that their position
is unassaliable. The commits
sioners expect that the complete
consideration of the entire case
will take less than two months
and that even should the COM
mission fall to render a maiority
award the facts will be clearly
established. This will lead to an
easier settlement in the future.

the sum he received from the
government. This is sufficient
to meet all the expenses of the
camp, and as soon as the proper
vouchers are presented Colonel
West will pay the money.
Next year the state will have
nothing to do with the expenses
OF the camps as it will be under
the supervision Of the govern
ment, and all the Georgiasoldiers
will probably be camped at Chick
amauga.

THE RELIANCE AGAIN SHOWS

The Captain Of The Shamrock Proves That He
Is a Thorough Allround Sailor.

New York, Aug. 31.-Again
today the beautiful cup defender,
Reliance, failed to register her
third victory over 1ipton's chal=
lenger because the wind died to
nothing and the time limit of five
aud half hours expired before
she could reach the finish line.
Her margin was approximately
the same as on Thursday last.

Reliance's failure to score the
race was the more exasperating,
because her ultimate triumph is
now conceded, even by Sir
Thomas himself, to be simply
Formally. The superiority of
the Herreshoff boat in any kind
of weather is acknowledged by
the Yachting critics of both sides
of the Atlantic, and today's fluke
only prolongs the agony of the
contest that has already been de-
cided.

The Fitzgerald. Douglas Debate.

Inc FIIZgerald.D0ugla Debate.
The thirdand decisive debate of
the Fitzgerald series will
be held in Douglas on Sept. 18th.
The first debate of the series was
won by Douglas. The second de-
bate, held in this city, was won
by the home forces. The third
debate, which will decide the tie,
promises to be very interesting.
Arrangements have been made
whereby the A. & B. Ry., will
run special excursion on this
occasion for those who want to
go down and return on the same
evening. It is expected that this
number will be large. Douglas
sent a delegation of two hundred
to the last debate, and the num-
Der from Fitzgerald will, of course
be much larger.
The subject for the debate is
Government Ownership, (which
includes full discussion of the
dispensarY question. Fitz-
gerald's representatives are Miss
Maggie Null, Florence Miller
and Charles Higgins.

ARTIFICIAL STONE.

dl OF fitzgerald S good citizens in
vested considerable money in a
plant for the manufacture of ar
tlhcial stone or concrete blocks.
| Several houses have been built,
one small business house and
half dozen neat little cottages,
but nothing like the mum Der that
ought to have been constructed
out of this material.
1t seems that doubt has ex-
listed in the minds of some who
might have used the stone, as to
it's durability.
In the last issue of the scienti-
fic American we find a we'll il
Illustrated page devoted to this
subject and which would remove
all doubt from the minds of the
skeptical. Houses three and
four stories high are perfectly
safe and as durable as stone.
That it is the prettiest building
material to be had in this country
is well understood by every man
who has seen the cottages builtin
this city.
The Scientific American says
of the stone;
That the adobe house of the
Southwest has not been intro
duced in the East is primarily
due to the fact that ki1n-dried
brick, stone, and wood were too
cheap, not because, they we're
intrinsically better. Artificial
stone has been employed to some
extent; but the difficulty of it's
manufacture, coupled with it's
cost, has not raised it to the rank
of very formida bic rival of brick
and naturalstone. Of late years.
however, concrete has come
gradually to the fore as building
material, which possesses all the
merits of the most durable stone
and which, besides, has the merit
OF greater cheapness. In var
lous parts of the country there
may now be seen dwellings,, fac
tories, and workshops built of
concrete, which for all the world
look like masonry. By far the
greater mum Der ofAthese struc-
lures have been erected after a
simple and Ingenious system in
vented by Mr.. Harmon S. Pal
mer, of Washington, D. G. The
result has been the introduction
of a new type of dwelling very
much cheaper than the ordinary
brick structure and architecture
ally UNNECESSARILY superior.
The adobe house of the South
west has developed into a build
ing constructed of a concrete,
artificial stone, madein accordance
with long-established principles
of engineering.
Structures built on the Palmer
plan are not simply piles of solid
concrete, fashioned into walls and
windows. The material is form
ed into blocks of any desired
size, ornamented or unornament-.
ed, and followed within. Thus
it happens that the concrete
blocks have all the merits of the
hollow brick. The house of
which they are bAilt is cool in
summer and warm in winter, for
the air-iacket formed by the walls
of hollow blocksacts as perfect
insu1ator.
Given good, hollow concrete
blocks and the problem of erect
ing a house cheap1y and quickly
is easily enough solved. The
true difficulty is TO be found In
the making of the blocks. No

jackson, Dec. 22.--State Revenue
Agent Writ Adams has sprung another
surprise on large number Of prom
inent corporations in the shape OF
claims for back taxes aggregatlng
several hundred thousand dollars IN
amount.
The suits are chiefly against the
big packing houses of the country
owning rolling stock which is opera
ted on the various railroads OF the
state, and which heretofore has es-
capped taxation, not being in any way
involved in the assessments OF the
various railroads by which they are
handled, and the revenue agent be-
lieves that they are equally liable to
taxation as the railroad rolling stock.
The assessment schedules for taxes
due the county of Kinds have been
filed with Sheriff Harding, and for
taxes due the city of Jackson are filed
with the city clerk. Schedules Will
also be filed in seven other counties OF
the state, Adams, Warren, Washing
ton, Leflore, Perry, Lauderdale and
Lowndes, the packing houses having
branch offices in these counties. The
assessments are from 1890 to 1902, in
elusive. Several large oil companies
are also involved. The claims are
filed against the following companies,
and for amounts named:
American Cotton Oil Company,
New York, 81, 200, 600; Jacob Dold
Packing Company, Kansas City, $l4O,-
600; Union Cotton Oil Company, New
