Testing Alarm Boxes.

The Ensley fire department, under the direction of Chief Hollngsworth and Foreman Jack Yeager, tested the fire alarm boxes of the city today, and found that all were in perfect order with one exception, that one being burned out by lightning.

 Ensley now has one of the best equipped fire departments in the country. It Is remarkable that Ensley has one of the best rates of any southern city, and that since the establishment of the depart ment no fire in the city has ever gained much headway. During the past month there was only one fire Of any note in the city and that was handled almost per fectly by the Ensley fire fighters

 In 1878 Montgomery received 106. 2S4 bales of cotton, against l70,124 for the year ending yesterday.

Thursdays Portland Oregonian
made an announcement affecting the
jobbing interests of San Francisco
and Salt Lake merchants in competi-
tion with Portland dealers. 1t is to
the effect that on December l the
Oregon Railroad & Navigation COM
pany will put into operation reduced
rates between Portland and southern
Idaho points, ranging from nine to
4S cents hundred pounds, accord
ing to the class of goods shipped.
This rate will put the Portland mer-
chants on a parity with the San Fran
cisco and Salt Lake merchants, who
for four years have been granted rates
to southern Idaho points which have
made them dominate in that country
San Francisco shippers were granted
rates permitting them to ship into
Idaho cheaper than the Portland mer-
chant could import goods from that
city and reship to Idaho from that
point.
