.ENSLEY IS AFTER
 PASSENGER DEPOT
Citizens Will Probably Have
 Meeting to Discuss Project
WILL FACILITATE MAILS
Would Enable Postal Officials to De- liver Mail In the City Much Earlier-Work on Purlflca-
 tlon Plant.

Ensley, June 1s.-(Special.)-It is more than probable that a meeting of the citi- zens will be called at an early date to in- augurate a movement looking to obtaining passenger service and a passenger depot for Ensley. It is argued that, according to it's population, this city is entitled to some kind of passenger service. 1t is also pointed out that passenger traihs running into the city will enable the postoffice officials to bring the mails d. rect to Ensley, instead of coming through the Birmingham office, as is now the case, which will save much delay in the mails.
 A number of publc-spirited citizens are of the opinion that a petition should be gotten up and presented to the Alabama railroad commission requesting that body to take some action relative 10 obtaining a passenger depot for the city.
 It is known that some of the railroads have already taken the question of a passenger depot for Ensley under con sideration, and that the officials of the roads are now Investigating the condi- tions in the Steel City.
 Ensley is a city with 15,OOO population, anu WILL every anu AeAiiOhN operating in this district as a terminal line has absolutely no passenger service.
 The conditions here are peculiar. If citizen of this city wants to go any plaee he Is required to go to Birmingham and purchase ticket. Although the man line of the Frisco and several other lines run in a short distance of the town, ono must go to Birmingham to check baggage and buy ticket.
 One of the promoters of the depot pro ject in discussing the situation said: "1he people of Ensley appear to be discrimi- mated against. Take, for example a tip to Tuscaloosa. One must needs pay about 75 cents, one-half of the railroad fare to that city. before he can even check his trunk. This method imposes upon a traveller a rather heavy expense for short trip
 Tanks Soon to Be Completed.
 Work is proceeding satisfactorily on the purifcation plant, which is being built at the end of the Village creek di- vision of the Jefferson county sanitary sewers. The plant will be completed about August 1.
 The foundation has been completed for the two septic tanks, and the construe- tion work Is already well under way.
 The Jefferson Construction company has the contract to build the plant and J. l.. Mullarky is experimenting the job.

The new series of ''Tales of the Road" by
Charles N. Crewdson, which will begin In
The Sunday Star, are. aside from being
good stories founded on fact, a real con-
tribution to the business literature of the
country. Mr.. Crewdson knows the traveller
en- the road and the man he sells to. He
has the art of combining a good story with
pointed business moral, and his work
will appeal both to those who read the
stories for amusement and to the business
man and the traveller, who may perhaps get
a new light on their respective callings by
seeing them carefully and fairly analyzed
from the outside.

| Cavalry, now in San Francisco on his way
| to the Philippines, as one of the military
| aids at the White House, President Roose-
velt has recognized in most compliment
| ary and delicate way the martial spirit OF
| the south, paid a tribute to one of Its old
| est and most prominent military families.
