I on account of orders not to SWEEP
without first sprinkling the street,
and that If the street was sprinkled
the water would freeze and make IL
dangerous. He was instructed 10
sweep during cold weather without
sprlnkling the street, but to do it at
late hour when the dust cannot
annoy anyone.
The street inspector was instruct
ed to clear some of the distractions
from the pavements on Kentucky
avenue so the public may use them.
The contractor did not get a chance
to build the new pavements when
he paved the streets, on account of
cold weather. and in many places
the sidewalks are now impossible.
City Engineer Washington was in
structed to repair the drainage at
Bernheim and 18th, 18th and Flour
noy and at Fourth and Broad streets.
Mr.. Charles Wilstach was ordered
to see why the signs containing
names of streets, to be posted on the
street corners. have never arrived
They were ordered sometime ago.
A contract was ordered drawn up
with Yves Flowers for the bench on
the market formerly rented by Flow
ers. He did not occupy it all the
time last year and the board thought
IL would be advisable to rent it this
year to someone who would use 1t
every day. and declined to rent It
to Flowers. The latter now agrees
not to suitcase it. and to sign a con-
tract that 1t will revert to the city
should he fail for thirty days to .oc-
cupy it. and a contract to that eff
feet was ordered drawn.
The board decided to have all or
dinances passed, contracts drawn,
and other preparations made at once
for this years street work so ey-
erything will be ready to start as
soon as good weather arrives. Last
year nearly the whole spring and
summer were wasted in getting ready
for the paving of Kentucky avenue
and other streets. which carried the
work into the winter and left the
sidewalks in places in an almost i'm
DassabIe condition

BOARD OF WORKS TO
BE ON TINE THIS YEAR
Will Have Everything Ready to Start in
the Spring-.-Yesterday's Business.

The board of public works at its
regular meeting yesterday afternoon
ordered the city solicitor to inquire
into the law relative TO who must
pay the cost of street repairs in ad-
dition to the city where streets have
been built and opened by the prop
erty owners, and turned over to the
city after a thin layer of gravel has
been spread on the thoroughfare TO
make 1t look genuine. The question
is whether the city must put on new
gravel when it becomes necessary, or
the expense falls on the property
owner.
A new broom was ordered for the
street sweeper. and a tracer was or
dered sent out for the cores sent
to Chicago for repairs some time ago
and which seem TO be lost.
The city solicitor was instructed
to bring In for passage in the legis-
lative boards an ordinance for the
Improvement of South Nineteenth
street between Broadway and the
Mayfield road The people out there
desire the street improved with gray
ell
The street inspector was instruct
ed TO have an examination made OF
the street roller boiler to ascertain
If Il has been damaged by its use in
furnishing steam TO heat Riverside

City Engineer Washington was in
structed to bring before the new
legislative boards the extension of
the sanitary sewerage from Ninth
and Jones 10 the fire department at
Tenth and Jones. The old boards
ordered the improvement, but cold
weather came before II was started.
and as the preliminaries for the
work have been completed, the mat
ter is ordered placed before the new
boards to ascertain II they are will

The matter of sweeping the brick

PECULIAR THINGS IN THE NEWS

Nowata. I. T., Jan. 25.-The tran
sition of an Indian boy from a penni-
less son of nature TO a prospective
millionaire has been accomplished in
Indian Territory in a day. In No
wata, before the master in chancery
of the northern judicial district, oil
and gas leases on minor Indians
land were sold. and among them was
the land of Ben Byrd. Yesterday
Ben owned 10 acres of river bottom
land, valued at $40 per acre. The
land was allotted to him by the gov
eminent in return for thousands of
acres decided by his fathers to the
United States many years ago.
Now Ben Byrd still ownes the land
and, besides, there is to his credit in
the bank s1O,12O.
When Byrds land was offered bid
ding became lively. The amount of
bonus per acre climbed steadily up
ward, until il reached $92. Today
Ben's guardian signed thee lease and
the bonus was paid over.
Today the lessee of the Indian boys
land got a contract for drilling 20
oil wells. The wells will have an
average production of 100 barrels
per day, and of this amount Ben will
receive 10 per cent. At the prevail
ing price in oil the Standard Oil COM
pany will pay to the lessee $1,000
per day, and Ben's share will be 500
per day.
BY the time he shall reach his ma
turity the Indian lad now IL years
old will be immensely wealthy.

Present Congress Has Record for
Talking.

Washington, Jan. According
TO the compilers of the Congressional
Record, the present congress has
done more talking than any previous

the Record.
Up to January &c the speechmak-

Seeking Title to Gold Lands.

been to seek international determine

Of Spitzbergen. Four countries are
concerned in the Spitzbergen dispute
namely. Great Britain. Holland, Rus

The Immediate cause of the appeal to

STILL, THE MACHINE.

Discussing on the trend OF man kind
towards doing everything BY machinery
that can possibly be thus accomplished.
The Richmond Times Dispatch finds
an intimatioh OF mechanical accom-!
rlishment even in the giving Of help
to the needy. I'm these days." 1t says.
the dispensing Of charity has become.
III great part. an institutional AFFAIR
rather than an affair of Individual en-
deavor. Every city has its charity or
ganization, and citizens are requested
and urged not to give aims to beggars
who apply at the door. but to send
their contributions to the organization
and let tho money be dispensed through
that agency. Like labor-saving ma
chinery. organized charity is neces-
sity Of the age. II is the only way 10
prevent professional beggars from i'm
posing upon good-natured citizens. the
only way frequently OF reaching the
worthy poor and giving needed relief.
and the best way. certainly, to accom-
plsh the greatest material good with
all our charity work is to be dore
through the organization. what Is to
become of individual endeavor in this
direction? What means Of exercise
will there be for the cultivation AMI
development Of the result of giving in
those individual members OF society
who are charitably inclined? There is
virtue, to be sure, in sending
check to the charity organization! but
il is not the whole of giving to give
money 1t is very much more to the
benefit Of the giver to assist the needy
in person and bestow not only mate
rial aims. but to give woeds of sympa-
thy and good cheer. Il was sick and
in prison. and We visited Me- was TIM
commentator OF the Master to those
who should receive His rewards. 1t is
active work in charity that enlarges
the heart and stimulates the tender
mercies."
While charitable organization,
properly managed. can dispense aims
to much better advantage. and do more
real good than can be done by indis-
criminate giving. 1t Is probably true
that helping the needy through such
methods takes from the act OF giving
much of the feeling OF human sympathy
that actuates those who give to the
beggars or to those who are known to
be really deserving and who will not
descend RI actual begging THE
greatest OF these is Charity said the
apostle, when referring to three cardi-
nal tenets of the Christian faith. and
certainly II makes the kind heart fee!
better when it gives to one who is both
needy and deserving. True. we'll
conducted charitable organization may
save kindly people from being imposed
or and robbed by fakirs and profess
sional beggars, but 1t also robs givinE
of one of it's pleasures. Still. this IS
a machine age, and all things must bow

THE HARDWOOD SUPPLY.
The Knoxville Journal and Tribune,
discussing the hardwood industry OF
the country, has this to say:

discussing the hardwood industry of
the country, has this to say:
Knoxville is the center Of the Appa-
lachian mountain supply which is the
largest. best and most varied supply
ought. therefore, to make much of the
fact that 1t is so we'll situated for the
manufacturing of hardwood. Grand
Rapids. Michigan, consumes about sew
| enty-fve million feet of hardwood an
| nually and practically all of its oak
| timber comes from the South. In view
of the fact that Grand Rapids and
other furniture manufacturing centers
of the North are getting farther and
farther removed from their wood sup
plies and in view of the fact that
sources of supply, why should not
Knoxville become the Grand Rapids of
the South? 1t has already a splendid
record as a starter and boasts that it
is the largest hardwood mantel manu-
featuring point in the world.
The East Tennessee region. Of which
Knoxville is the center. is rich in the
hardwoods that are now in such great
demand. and to large extent North
ern Alabama Is equally favored. Both
in North Alabama and North Georgia
there s>yet to be found great guam
titles of fine wood and it should not
be sent North to he manufactured. For
generations practically all cotton man.
ufacturing was done in New England.
The South raised the cotton and sent
it thousands Of miles to he turned into
thread ard cloth and then we bought
it back a vastly enhanced cost.
This was a wasteful expense and
| thoroughly illogical method Of doing
business, but it has been largely chang
ed OF late years. Instead OF sending
our vast crops to the Northern mills
and buying back the products the pol
icy now is to bring the mills to the
crops. That is logic. economy and
sound sense, but 1t was very slow about
coming.
1t seems to us that the same reasons
will apply with equal or greater force
to the manufacturing Of our hard woods
Why should we ship timber and lum-
Der all the way to Grand Rapids or
furniture and house trimmings which
are shipped back to us in a finished
condition? BY the same system Of
logic we might ship all OFF. corn to CHI
cago TO have 1t ground into meal for
our own Use. ~" ."-:- ~
We see no reason WHY the pine, hick-
DRY. oak, maple, beech and other hard
woods should not be manufactured into
needed forms at home. Power is cheap
and unlimited all through North Ala
bama and skilled labor can be had when
required. In our own shops here in
Montgomery som" fine work of this
kind is turned out. but the raw mate
rial is not as convenient here as in
North Alabama ana every year it be-
comes scarcer. If all the good timber
of the country is to be cut out it wouId
seem the part of wisdom for those who
now own 1t to get as much benefit from
it AS possible. And if there is profit
in manufacturing it, why not let Ala
bamians have that profit?
