 REAL ESTATE MARKET

There Is no part of Birmingham where real estate is not salable. A few years ago business seemed to be leaving cer- tain sections of the city, but today there ip not a street or section where property Is without solid value, for there Is ne section where improvements are not in evidence. All that part of the business district east of Twentyaflrst street shows decided signs of progress Until recently 1t was the thought that ali the progress was to be west of Twenty-lrst street, This distribution of real estate values Is most encouraging
 Work on the Masonic temple at the corner of Nineteenth street and Sixth avenue is progressing. It will be m orna- ment to that part of the city and will tend materially to enhance real estate values.
 Acreage property on the street car lines a few miles from Birmingham in any direction is in good demand. speculators in this class of realty sometimes have to walt for years before they can get a big profit on building sites, but the time will surely come when they can divide that acreage up into town lots and dis- pose of those lots at good prices. Acreage property is now in brisk demand. The rapid development of the environs of Bir- mingham causes this demand.
 The following real estate transfers were recorded yesterday:
 James c. Rivers to Samuel Trougala, lot TO- block 39, Birmingham; considera- ton. sS100.
 R. H. Haggod and wife to Martha Belle Coffee, lot in section 3, township ls' range 8 west; consideration, $500

Topeka. Kan, July 10.-Another
conference of attorneys was held Sun
day to discuss the situation arising
from the loss of the state in the de-
funct First National bank. 1t is an
nounced that Gov. Hoch will demand
the resignation of State Treasure. T.
T. Kelly on the ground Of improper
conduct in Office, and that Kelly will
resist the demand. The matter will
probably have to be settled in the
courts. Gov. Hoch is understood as
being extremely anxious to secure the
resignation of Kelly. Considerable
difficulty arises from the fact that all
the laws which were especially de.
signed for cases like the present one
were repealed by the last session OF
the the state legislature. Some def
mite action will be taken Monday.

MARKETING POTATO CROPS.
How the Railroads Mado II Possible
for tina Growers 10 Get Fair
Prices.

In line with the classic case OF the
oyster shippers. cited by Presidept
Hadley, OF Yale University. in his boon
on Railroad Transportation. is the case
Of : the Aroostook petsto growers
brought by President futile. OF the
Boston and Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com.
merce. Nothing could better show how
q railroad works for the interest OF
the localities which II serves.
A main dependence Of the farmers
Of the Aroostook region is the potato
crop. aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels which find o mar.
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions Of New Eng
land. The competition Of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these potatoes
always at very low level.
Potatoes are also considerable out
put of the truck farms Of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained In
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities Of that region.
Not many years ago favo-ing sun
and rains brought a tremendous yield
CT potatoes from the Michigan fields.
At normal rates and prices there would
have been q glut Of the customary
markets and the potatoes would have
rotted on the farms. To help the po-
tato growers, the railroads from
Michigan made unprecedentedly low
rates on potatoes to every readable
market, even carrying them in large
quantities to place so remote as Bos-
ton. The Aroostook growers had to
reduce the price on their potatoes, and
even then could not dispose Of them
unless the Boston and Maine railroad
reduced its already low rate, which 1t
cid. BY means Of these low rates,
making possible low prices, the pota-
to crops Of both Michigan and Maine
were finally marketed. Everybody eats
potatoes, and that year everybody had
all the potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads, had they been applied to
the movement OF all potatoes at all times,
to all places, they helped their patrons to
find markets then. The Boston and Maine
Railroad suffered decrease in its rev.
enue from potatoes, but 1t enabled the
Aroostock farmers to market their crop
and thereby to obtain money which
they spent for the varied supplies
which the railroads brought to them.
II the making Of rates were subject tc
Governmental adjustment, such rad
zeal and prompt action could never
have been taken, because 1t is well es-
tablished that If rate be once re-
\duced by a railroad company, 1t can.
not be restored through the red tape
Of Governmental procedure. II the
Michigan railroads and the Boston and
Maine Railroad had been subjected to
Governmental limitation they would
have felt obliged to keep up their rates,
as do the railroads Of France and Eng.
land and Germany under Governmental
limitation, and let the potatoes rot
