FILINGS ARE INVALID.

1t is now made evident, says the
Lewiston Teller, that the men who
lined up at the land office door about
the 10th of last March to camp day
and night to get a choice selection
from lands released from the forest
reserves have had their labor for
their pains as no land was ever segre-
gated from the forest reserve.
Decisions received from the COM
missioner of the general land office
by the local land office today indi-
cate that 1t is held by the department
that no portion OF townships 90 and
S5-6 east, plats Of which were filed
March Z, was open for homestead or
timber filing or for state selection ex-
cept to settlers prior to the date OF
the withdrawal for forest reserve pur-
poses.
The decision handed down and re-
ceived today was in the case of J. M.
Molloy, who filed n timber and stone
entry. which later was filed on by
Gustav Stern and John Pons, who
filed homestead entries in conflict
with Molloy's timber filing. Then the
state made n blanket filing covering
this with other claims and Molloy's
filing was rejected. He appealed and
the decision is In reference to this APP
plea and 1t is so sweeping that 1t vir-
tually settles the whole question as
above cited.

failure Of the directors of the Milwau-

provide funds for the road extension
to the Pacific coast.
It had been generally expected that
some public notice Of the company s
designs would be given following the
directors meetings. Particular inter-
est attached to this meeting because it
was the first one attended by William
Rockefeller in long time. That the
directors did not discuss the plan was
evident from the fact that they were in
session only twenty minutes. ::
After the meeting H. H. Rogers

 An important meeting of the joint committee of the City Council on fire and finance. together with Mayor Teague and Fire Chief Browder. was held yesterday afternoon in the office of the Mayor for the purpose of con sidering bids for a new fire engine, or steamer, the bids having been opened at Monday nights meeting ,cf the Council.
 Representatives of four manufacture ling concerns appeared. in turn. before the committee and presented the ad- vantages of the machines offered by the, respective companies. The meet ing lasted the entire afternoon but 1t was not announced what action the committee had taken. A report will be made to the Council at the regular meeting two weeks hence.
 The new fire engine is to be of me- dlum size and will he placed in one of the fire stations at West End or North Montgomery.
 The West End and North Montgom- cry stations. which have been building for some time, were yesterday am nounced practically completed by the contractors. Today the City Engineer, A. R. Gilchrist, will inspect both build iugs and they will probably be accept ed.
 It will be only a short time before the stations will be occupied.

City Is Caring for Highways Within

 The Engineering Department or Montgomery is actively engaged m tbe beginning of series of thorough n repairs on all streets and public roads in the city limits.
 The first gravel the city has taken from the Carter gravel pit in at least a wear was received by the Engineer ing Department Monday, when six car loads came to the city over the Vest ern Railway of Alabama. City labor CTS were immediately placed at work distributing the gravel for repairs on the Jackson Ferry Road and roads and streets where 1t Is needed. As soon as the six cars have been unloaded, they will again go to the pit and bring pack gravel to the city.
 City Engineer Gilchrist says that the gravel will be first used in repairing all of the present graveled roads and streets and, after that work Is com pleted, the work of graveling new streets will be started. It is probable that Fielder Street will be the first new street to receive gravel.
 It is of interest to know that the city has six teams at work in North Montgomery where the streets are be- ing drained and graded. The work. It is said, will be of great benefit to that section of the city.

ENDORSE THE FAIR
MONTGOMERY REAL ESTATE MEN
 HAVE MEETING.
They Resolve to Give Every Support to Alabama Agricultural Associa-
 fion---Over a25,0o0 of
 Stock Taken.

The real estate agents of Montgomery held meeting at the office of W. F. vandiyer yesterday afternoon for tho purpose of discussing the State Fair
 Mir. vandiver explaped the situation thoroughly. and asked the cooperation of the real estate men in the efforts making to- secure subscriptions to stock.
 The meeting was very enthusiastic. and each of the gentlemen present was furnished with subscription blanks for the purpose of making a canvass, look ing to securing additional subscrip- tions.
 The following resolution was unani- imousiy adopted:
 Be it resolved by the real estate agents of Montgomery, in session, That 1t is the sense of this meeting. that 1t Is to the best interests of Montgomery, and our customers, that the Alabama Agricultural Association be organized; and that we recommend the purchase of the stock to our customers as a good investment"
 Mir. vandiver said yesterdayl that the organization of the Alabama tAgricul- tural Association has not been perfect ed as has been stated. There was no meeting sof the committee Saturday. Permanent organization of the Associa- tion will not be taken up until a much larger amount of the stock is sub scribed. There is now something over $2F,0 ,0o0 of subscriptions in hand. and the committees appointed for splictta- tion are still at work, and their work is being complimented by Mir. vandiver
 Mir. Vandiver says that the perna- nent organization of the Association will not be matter over which the committee will have control: that when spff7cianf GfnrE hae hAau Stfhgerihed there will be a mass-n1eeting of those who have subscribed, and the officers of the association will be the choice of the stockholders
 The work in different parts of the State will soon be taken up, and 1t is hoped that liberal subscriptions will be secured from all sections.
 The purpose of the organization is primarily to benefit the agricultural in terests of the State, and 1t is believed that the farmers throughout the State will subscribe literally.

Much Interest shown in Cotton As~
 sOciation.
 Secretary Chas. l.. Gay, of the Mont gomery County Cotton Growers Asso- ciation, returned last night from Mt. Meigs with Captain A. B. Brasseii, of this city, after holding a highly suc- cessful meeting in Beat 2f, for perma- nent organization.
 These gentlemen report that most of the farmers of that community are enthusiastic over the idea of organiza- tion and are willing to subscribe to everything laid down by the Southern Cotton Association.
 The success which Messrs Gay and Brassell met with in effecting an or- ganizaticn illustrates the need of men who will take the time to go out and do missionary work in the outlying beats of every county. The Mt Meigs Beat one, was led to think, because 1t had waited so long, was hard to or ganize. Yesterday the first energetic effort was made and it was crowned with pronounced success.
 The meeting was held in the school house at Mt. Meigs, the school having turned out early to give an %pportuni- ty for a full gathering. It was as full a gathering as could be expected. The house was crowded, including about 200 negroes who manifested such interest that later In the after noon they were separately organized In their own school house as per mitted and encouraged by the Southern Cotton Association,
 T. c. Glider. of Mt. Meigs. and Thom- as Barnett, of the same neighborhood, were elected president and secretary respectively of the white organization.
 Diverstfication of crops in the com ing season was expounded by the vis- iting speakers and a good block of stock was subscribed to the scheme of a warehouse or warehouses to be built in Montgomery and owned in the majority by the farmers.
