COLLEGE : aIMINALs.

Barbarous Practices In Fraternal So
eiety Initiations.-student Tied to
the Track and Killed by . Train
Lives Of Railway Passengers I'M
periied.
Some clew to the real cause of foot
ball casualties may be found in recent
news items quite removed from the
field Of college sports. In an Ohio col.
lege there is u grave suspicion that q
student was bound and tied upon
railroad track where he was killed by
a train. The supposition Is that this
was done as part OF an initiation
ceremony by n college fraternity, or
secret society. and conclusive evil
dence has already been supplied OF
other acts OF torture and violence re-
sulting from this absurd and savage
practice.
In New York college town. an elec.
tric railway company has offered o
large reward for the person. supposed
to be college student. who soaped
tho tracks Mt a dangerous curve and
grade. and who imperiled the lives Of
a number OF passengers that were only
saved by the prompt and skillful act
OF an expert motorman.
-
hotel were disturbed by the entrance
OF riotous party OF college stu
dents. who conducted two blindfolded
youths that were set to fighting while
on their hands and knees upon the
floor. This act is also supposed 10 be
an example OF college frat" initia-
tions.
These three news items. taken from
single days press report, show
clearly the need for instruction to
some American college students OF
what constitutes crime.
Murder, theft. arson. assault with
intent to do bodily harm, malicious
destruction OF property, public in.
decency and other crimes, cannot be
excused upon the pretense OF sport"
or the exuberance of youthful spirits.

An Enterprise OF Great Magnitude. We
Invite You to Join us and Partici
pate in this Undertaking.

The Western Coal and Iron company of Port
land, Ore with its principal office in Vancouver,
WASH, has acquired four full sections of coal land,
1850 acres, situated in the Nicola valley, Cold
Water river, B. c., about $50 miles northeast of Van
couver B. c., and about 50 miles south from the c.
P. r. main line Spences bridge and SO miles north
from the boundary line These 1850 acres are esti-
mated to contain 200 100000 tons of hgh-grade, BIZ
luminous coal the quality of which has been pro-
nounced by the best coal experts to be superior to
any coal known west of the Mississippi river, and is
unexcelled for steam blacksmithing and domestic
USE and equal to the famous Crows Nest for smelt
crS coke.

Crows Nest Mining company, of British Columbia,
started in 1906 the stock then sold at cents per
share and today is worth $125. 1t pays an annual
dividend to the shareholder of $40 per share. In
six years from now ours may be worth the same
WHY not? We calculate to have the mines ready to
ship coal in two years from now and produce 5000
tons of raw coal per day. Figuring this as basis
of calculation the profit from an output like this Will
mean over one million dollars per year, net, IN dlv

We are now selling at 20 cents per share In short
time the stock WILDE adva need to 50 cents and before
long we will sell for par, 100 per share ~,
Two railroads are to be built into the Nicola

dends. which will mean market value of about $40
per share at the rate of per cent interest the in
vestment This is very conservative estimate.
Our property has been examined and reported
upon by prominent coal experts from the United
States and Canada, who pronounce it to be of great
value coal producer-among them B. F. August
of West Virginia. Two hundred million 100000,
Ooo) tons are estimated to underlay 1850 acres,
such vast quantity that it would last for years
at output of 100000 tons per year.
We will issue from 100 shares up that men
and women of moderate means may have chance to
participate in this enterprise. We predict that
shares will prove in the future the most
markable ever offered to small investors. The mir1-
ing laws of British Columbia very stringent, and
under no circumstances can an assessment be levied
on worcestershire stock or freezingout scheme be
adopted and carried out with any prospect of success

not meet with just as good success.

The South Needs Immigrants.

NrH OIlcdnS flCdyune.
 Notwithstanding the fact that there Is a great outcry in the Northern Statea of the Union against the deluge of foreigners who are emigrating to this country from Europe and are settling in the north, while there Is a great demand for labor in the South. and efforts are being made to turn some of the newcomers into our Southern States, the most active measures are being used by persons in the Northern States to prevent their coming southward.
 The Berlin (Germany) Tageblatt nswspa- per prints dispatches from NewYork warn ing Germans not to emigrate to the Southern States of America, because there they are treated worse than slaves and made to work at the muzzle of re ofvers."
 It would seem, to be useless to contradict such infamous and absurd lies. but since they are believed by foreigners, 1t is neces- sary that they should know the truth
 The necessity Of sending intelligent and reliable immigration agents abroad In the Interest of our Southern States seems 80 urgent that it should be at once taken up. The movement to prevent European tmm- grafton Into the south is said to be about to make it's appearance in the quarantipe and immigration convention soon to pc held at Chattanooga It Is to be hoped that thi sis mistake.

 A conversation of this kind can be heard every night at the Union rail- way ticket office and 1t Is extremely doubtful If any known subject of dis cussion under the sun has been respon- sible for as many explosives and sun burned adjectives as the one alluded to. Sometimes it Is jolly looking com mercial traveller, sometimes tourist in search of the health which his emaciated face and hgure plainly shows that he has lost In either case denunciation of the Louisville and Nashville follows.
 For years and years there has been an insistent demand for Pullman car between here and Mobile, and why such a car has never been put on has been one of the seven wonders. If there was Pullman car to Mobile, Montgomerians or through passen gers could get In the car at or g o'clock in the evening. go to bed and get up in Mobile at or o'clock the next morn ing. There is a Pullman car between here and Pensacola--a point with not one-half the travel from Montgomery that there Is to Mobile. and just why Pensacola should be favored above Mobile, Montgomerians have never been able to figure out. The only possible reason that can be advanced would be a delay to the train in "setting out" the Pullman in Mobile. The Pensacola Pullman is put on the rear of train No. at night. It is simply uncoupled and dropped at Flomaton and the train is not delayed in the slightest.
 The Mobile Pullman could be put in the train just in front of the Pensacola Pullman making it at the rear of the train when 1t reached Mobile where it could be dropped and a yard engine shift it to a side track after the train had gone on to New orleans.

Ensley Southern Railway.

When the Ensley Southern Railway, which now extends as far as Short Greek. is completed to Parrish, fin wklker County, it's first objective point, connecting at that point with the Northern Alabama Railroad (Southern Railway), much benefit will accrue to Ensley. In addition to the great coal field that will be developed with this railroad facility, the traffic probably to be handled through Ensley, it may be Memphis.
 It is positive that it will bring about passenger service between Birming- ham and Northwest Alabama. Exactly when the work will be completed on the extension cannot be stated. There is a hard section of the country to be passed through and besides two large bridges will be necessary. There will be several branch lines run out from the railroad, it is stated, when it is completed, reaching coal properties re- gently purchased by companies which intend to develop the same.
 Ensley will be made the center of operations of the Ensley Southern, it Is believed this point to distribute the traffic originating on the line. Already 8 large amount of freight business is handled by the railroads in Ensley, all lines having branch to this place, and with feeder like the Ensley Southern will be the activity of the Steel City, already being commented on consid- erably, will increase even more than the most sanguine citizen could antici- pate.
