 Now continued MT Thompson, there Is no subject that is of more vital inter- est to the people of Alabama than that of immigration. What is the attitude of the railways toward that question? Is 1t op- pressve? Is t extortionate? Is 1t tyran- ncal? No; it Is most sympathetic and encouraging. The railways know that tho development of the state depends in large measure upon increasing Alabamas popu- lation by getting desirable immigrants. And they are spending their time and money literally to make the movement success
 Business Enterprise.
 But why enumerate cases of this kindf Now mind you, 1 don't say that railways are philanthropists. They are not chari- table enterprises. They are not ruled by the precepts of the Sunday school any more than other business enterprises are. They are ruled by .the laws of the bus- ness world and those laws teach US that intelligent cooperation between the rail- ways and their patrons is the best policy possible Under the sun. That policy the railways have adopted and that policy they are resolved to maintain. A fair. square deal for every mana long pull. a strong pull and pull all together with the people and the railways side by side. having but three unalterable ends in view; the administration of the railway com paines upon sound business principles; just treatment of the people. and the gem eral development of the whole state. This, compressed Into few words, is the policy of railways in Alabama.
 Some Pertinent Questions.
 DO not the results prove that this is true? When in all her history was Ala bama SO prosperous as she is today? When were her people so contented? When were business conditions so satis- factory? Do cries of oppression smite the ear on every side? Is the farmer complaining? Is the mechanic clamoring? No The state is prosperous. and every one knows It. The people are contented, and it can't be successfully denied. Bust- ness conditions are encouraging. If any one doubts it. let him read the quotations on the price of iron and see the wonder full railway development work that is going on throughout the state. Agita- ton may come. Incorporate charges may be made. Words like oppression.' greed and 'extortion' may fall from the lips of men not well informed, but deep down in their hearts the people of Ala bama know that the state has entered upon period of unexampled peace, pro- gross and prosperity. and that the rafl- ways have contributed in no small degres to that happy condition"

Snow Banners.

In the Sierra Nevada mountains,
when conditions are favorable for the
display, there occurs a beautiful and
startling phenomenon of nature. At
times when the wind drives up the
mountain sides in certain direction
and with sufficient velocity there
stream out upon the air snow banners
from a hundred mountain peaks.
They are formed by the circling wind
acting upon the light snow, and are
thick and dark at the top of the noun
tain, like flag staff, then they float
away broadly for a mile in length in
waves of iridescent light. This mag
nificent display is rarely seen by
other eyes than those of savages. but
