There, is a brick famine in Selma
 which at present is seriously incon- veniencing builders and contractors. Many buildings which were to have been started during the past two weeks have been delayed indefinitely on account of the inability to get
 brick with which to lay the founda- tions. Work upon the rebuilding of the big seedhouse of the International Cotton oil Company, which was de- stroyed by fire last fall. has been practically stopped on account of brick with which to continue the work The two brick yards of the city are work ing a full force but have orders ahead for many months for all of their out put.
 There has never been before in the history of Selma more buildings un- der contemplation and in the course of construction than there is at pres ent and the scarcity of building ma teriaI with winch to build is prPvIng to be Equite a drawback.

 With Hear ye," followed by an- other Hear ye" from the lips of United States Marshal L. c. Deans at 12:15 today, the formal opening of the Northern Division of the Southern Dis trict United States Court took place in the Circuit Court room of the Dal- las County Court House. United States Marshal Dean then read an order from Judge Harry Toulmin of the Southern District of the United States Court re- lating to the opening of the same and citing Section 583 of the Vital Statis- tics of the United States Court and announced the court opened The reading of this order opening the court was followed by another order from Judge Toulmin adjourning this session of the court sine die under Section 632. and the court stood adjourned until the first Monday in November when a regular session will be held.
 Before the court was formally opened at the session today Marshal Deans had an understanding with Deputy Sheriff Jim Townsen as custodian of the Court House in the absence of Sheriff F. M. Blackwell as to when the court could use the building until the Government building could be built. The use of the Court House was sat- isfactorily arranged and United States Court Clerk R. H. Jones, in the ab- sence of Judge Toulmin, presided, while United States Marshal Dean opened the court.
 The short session of the court today was the first session of the United States Court to ever convene in this city and as 1t was generally known that no business would be transacted at this session but five citizens were present to witness the opening outside of the members of the Dallas Bar As sociation. The next term of the court, which will open the first Monday in November, will doubtless have a heavy docket, and as there will also be a grand jury and petit juries the session will be an important one, and will mean much for this city.

POWER LINE 200 MILES LONG,

Surveys have been completed, ac-
cording to unofficial reports publish
ed by the Denver newspapers, for an
electric power line from the coal fields
near Gallup to Clifton, Arizona. a dis
lance of almost 200 miles. The plan
Is to erect power houses at several
coal mines In the Gallup district to
transform the coal into electric power.
The coal can be mined at a minimum
cost of $1.1O a ton while at Clifton It
commands from S. to s. a ton. It will
therefore be much cheaper to turn the
coal into power at the mines and
conduct the power to Clifton. a smelt-
ing and mining center, over the power
line.
