T notice." said a prominent citizen m one of the downtown hotels iast night. that there seems to be con siderable difficulty with the street cars. where the tracks turn from Dexter Avenue north into Lawrence street. Not day passes in the week that some ears are not sderailed in making tnas can pc placed back on the raiis ana permitted to resume their trips.
 Either the turn is too abrupt for the Worn oi shs sars p3nf r t9S matter may be, the delays caused at mat point work a great deal q hard- snip to people who patronize the cars running over that line. A wait or ten minutes may not mean much to the single individual who has time on his hands. But when there are twenty or stance, passahasrs at nFaEt when 1h peopie are go ing honie--a delay of ten or fifteen minutes while the car crew is fiddling around. trying to get the car back on the track, Is a great nuisance.
 Under such circumstances. it be- comes matter of interest to many, and not to the car company alone. The car company, If it wishes to give good service. should remedy the trouble at this point. If measures are not taken to remove the cause of delay by the company. there should be some au-- thortty to which the people can resort to enforce rapid transit"
 The Railroad fo Hayneyllle.
 Mir. Charles Schuessler, of Lafayette, who has been in Montgomery, was con graduated by his many. friends here upoH his completion of the Hayneville and Morgansville Railroad, the short line from the county scar of Lowndes County. to the little station of Nor gansville on the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad. Speaking of the build ing of this road, a gentleman from Lowndes County said yesterday:
 Our people have been surprised at the courage shown by MT. Schuessler and his associates in building the road in the wet winter season in the mud and bottomless soil of Lowndes Coun- ty. and they have overcome every ob- stacle of mud and rain. which speaks well for their persistence and pluck.
 The road will soon be in operation and HayneviIle will for the first time be in direct rail communication with Montgomery. and will bring much trade to this city. The road may be later on extended over the route of the pro- posed Haynevlie. Camden and Mont gomery railroad to Camden and open up. rich and prosperous country to this city,

The Plans Completed

Mir. John Olmstead, the landscape architect employed by the Alaska-Yu- kon Exposition to draw up plans for the Exposition buildings and grounds has now completed the preliminary plans for the grounds aud bulldogs that will with few alterations be per manent.
 The main buildings are to be grouped around central fountain. Mt. Ranier Avenue, which will be the principal avenue of the fair grounds, will start from the fountain and run therefrom in a southeasternly direction, being laid out iu such way that the noun tain itself will be seen any time by looking down the avenue.
 There will be number of steamboat piers erected on both Lake Washing ton and Union, while an intramural railway will carry sightseers around the grounds.
 What was the Midway" at Chicago, the "Pike" at St. Louis and the "Trail'' at Portland, here will be the "Pay Streak" which if other experiences count for anything is mighty apt name for the place where you are partedfrom the coin with such ease and rapidity.
 Mir. Olmstead recommends that the old Russian Architecture be the pre- 7ailiug style for the buildings. First because Alaska was possession of the Russians before the American purchase and secondly because the style fits beautifully with the grounds that are covered with sharp, spire like frs that are so bountifully scattered over the grounds-News Letter.

The federal government doctors Alaska principally by the absent treat ment. A conspicuous testimonial to this system is the absence from the laws enacted for the territory of any provision for the care of the poor out side eofincorporated towns. Incorporated communities have the privilege of tax ing themselves to provide for those who cannot take care of themselves. The federal government has made ample provision for holding up every industry, trade and business in the territory by the most odious of all tributes--the occupation tax it indus triously collects tariff exactions at an expense of 72 cents for every dollar taken in as customs dues, but in the decade of spasmodic stabs at legisla- tion for the territory congress has never empowered any federal official to give food or clothing, shelter, medi
 cine or medical treatmeant to the helpless man, woman or child in Alaska and charge it up to the treasury of the nation which busies itself so presistently in trying at great expense to erect independent republics for tropical lazzaroni.-Seward Gateway.

In the political and legislative affairs of Alaska, 19O6 will be a memorable year. It has been during 1906 that Alaska was granted representation in Congress, and it was in this year that Alaska's first congressional representa- tives were elected. Frank H. Waskey and Thomas Gale were the chosen rep resentatives for the short and long terms respectively, and as they are perfectly familiar with the Northland and it's needs, they will no doubt be able to accomplish much good for the territory. With this initial step the day is now dawning when Congress will fully awaken to the conditions and possibilities of this great Northern ter ritory, and the time will surely come when Alaska can boast of her own Statehood.-News-Reco

Alaska should not have territorial form of government like that of Hawaii and the territories within the mainland of the United States" declared F. P. Shackleford, lawyer of Juneau, Alas
 ka, at the New Willard, according to the Washington Post. 'EOur popula- tion is neither large nor stable enough. We have but little more than 30000 white people and they are scattered over vast area. The movement in favor of making Alaska a territory Is brought about mostly by the miners of temporary residence who, in five years have left the country because they have made stake or failed to do SO. "They make great deal of noise, but the men who own property and have decided to live in Alaska for 8 long time are not clamoring for any other government than what they have now, for the reason that the territory fs we'll administered under the governor ap- pointed by the president and the United States courts, and that terri
 torial government would necessitats 9 complete network of eounty and gen. eraI officers which would mako she luxury very expensive, The truth is that the saloon keepers are most inter ested in the territorial plan, for ths reason that it would be much easier for them to protect their interests under dispensation of party politics"

The persistent effect upon the heart
of caffeine in coffee cannot but re-
suit in the gravest conditions, in time.
Each attack Of the drug (and that
means each cup Of coffee) weakens
the organ little more, and the end
is almost a matter OF mathematical
demonstration. A lady writes from
a Western state:
Il am of German descent and 1t
was natural that | should learn at a
very early age to drink coffee. Until

anything else at my meals.
"A few years ago began to be az.
fected by a steadily increasing nerv-
business. which eventually developed
into distressing heart trouble that
made me very weak and miserable.
Then, some three years ago, was add
ed asthma in its worst form. My
suherings from these things can be
better imagined than described.
During all this time my husband
realized more fully than did that cot.
Zee was injurious 10 me, and made ev-
cry effort 10 make me stop.
Finally IL was decided a few
months ago, 10 quit the use of coffee
absolutely. and TO adopt Postum Food
