brace any project outside the Already
publicly announced Portland Salem

know. state that there is no doubt as
to the immediate extension into the
valley.
Though franchise into the city Of
Portland has been secured for an cleo.
trio road, and it is doubtful if any.
thing else will be operated for some
time, it is said to be the intention Of
the promoters to construct a road that
will readily take heavier traffic when
desired.
We Of Albany are more or less skep
tical concerning railroad enterprises,
because we have had much talk about
It during the last ten years, without
getting any nearer to realization. But
from all indications apparent now. we
are closer TO It than ever before. That
the road to Salem will be built, there
can be no question. And with a road
through that part Of the valley on a
paying basis, Of which again there can
be no question, % further extension is
almost guaranteed.
Perhaps Albany will be asked to do
something in the way Of franchise
granting before very long. when that
time comes, it is to be hoped that all
our people will be harmonious, and that
any reasonable demands on the part Of
the company will be met in a liberal
and progressive spirit, and without
wrangling. Next to a good.size pay
roll or two, there is nothing we need
more urgently in Albany than another
road connecting us with Portland.

SALARIES OF DISTRICT COURT
JUDGES INCREASED BY SEN
ATE MEASURE.

st. Paul, March 14-An alleged
close corporation in the affairs of
the state agricultural society will be
rudely disturbed if bill proposed in
the house Monday by James R. Hickey
OF Ramsey is passed.
The Hickey bill is and amendment to
the law OF 1903 creating the state So
ciety, and amends the law only as re-
lating to membership. The Hickey
amendment gives the governor of the
state authority to appoint three mem
mers of the society from each county
in the state not having county fair
or street fair association.
The present law gives each county,
district or street fair association the
right to name three members It is
pointed out that many of the county
and street fair associations have long
since gone out of business, but their
officers continue to represent their So
cieties as members of the state So
ciety and to dominate its affairs
Mr. Hickey said that his bill is
aimed to give a wider and larger mem
bership to the state agricultural So
clety than now exists and to make it
representative of the entire state.

Awninas Too Low.

"on rainy days l have often been an- noyed by the awnings with which the fruit dealers of Birmingham protect their stocks," said a citizen last night. Tn order to enjoy the temporary shelter af- forded by these awnings I frequently walk under them when 1t Is raining and get my head bumped for my pains. The awnings are too low for a person of average height to pass under with safety and when they are wet they sag down until the heads of redestrians are in the utmost peril. Only a short time ago struck my head against e fame work of one of these awnings ard damaged my derby so badly that I will have to get a new hat.
 Tn many cities there are laws forbid ding fruit vendors to occupy a space more than two feet wide on the side walks but I don't think such .- law is en- forced in Birmingham. Some steps should certainly be taken to make the local street merchants raise their awnings high enough to walk under without danger of smashed hat"

Presidents on Retired List.

The President of the United States is commander-in-chief of the army and navy, and in the desire to pension ex- Presidents it is strange that no one has proposed to retire the commander in-chief as full general-an office he'd by Grant, Sherman and Sheridan only. The pay would be s19.500 a year, which would be sufficient pen sion in thIs country.
 The retirement of commander-in- chef as a .ul! general would not wrench our system of government a particle. It would be wholly natural, orderly and logical. and no reasonable objection could be brought against it.
 To vote straightout pension to an exPresident would be to begin the creation of a civil pension list, and this country has never looked favorably on a proposition of that sort. But every officers of tho army and navy is re-

 In the trade the Hoadley interests have 1t optional to take over the entire Republic company at any agreed price or simply the Birmingham end of It for cash consideration.
 As to the Tennesse deal there is much feeling between the Hoadley party and the old Hanover National interests and whatever be the trade outside Of what has been done in the open market it will probably have to be made by banking in- terests behind the Hoadley party.
 It is said that the Morgan banking in- terests having been largely displaced in the steel trust by the Standard oil party are interested in this Birmingham irof. consolidation not because of railroad hold ings alone. but to keep the southern prop critics out of the hands of the steel trust.

A Prosperous Year.

The skyscraper hotel, the Masonic temple. and about dozen store buildings to take the place of those burned during the winter, by no means comprise the construction that has been planned, if not actually be- gun. in the present year of business activity and high promise. In North Birmingham three factories are being established, and in all parts of the district dwellings, are going up.
 It is to be an active year from start to finish. Greater Birmingham will at the end of it be still greater, and if the plans now being formulated in New York go through there will be no lack of capital in the development of this district. Birmingham is rapid ly moving up to place second only to New Orleans, our chief port, in the cotton states. New Orleans will re- main the chief port of the south, and Birmingham will become its chief in- dustrial city, it's Pittsburg, with all of Pittsburg's advantages of naviga- tion. and with ore and fuel lying to- gether close at hand. This is why building is going on in every part of this district. People have faith in Birmingham, as they have in no other town in the south.
