WILL EMPLOY MANY MEN

Bessemer. April 4.-(speeial )-Informa- ton comes from Birmingham today that the American Radiator company has de- cided to locate a large southern branch manufacturing plant at Bessemer. This decision has been arrived at, it is under stood after a careful investigation of number of prominent locations in the south. principally Chattanooga and North Birmingham.
 Representatives of this concern have been in the district for several weeks and have made careful investigation of the advantages of the Bessemer district from every point of view. It is known that they were well pleased with the conditions and the advantages offered by Bessemer and the people of this city are very much delighted with the prospect with the early building of this important plant, to cost several hundred thousand dollars.
 The American Radiator company is one of the largest conceIns of the kind in the world and has several large plants in the north Their southern trade has become so large that it became necessary for the company to make new arrangements for the supply of this growing demand. It is stated that they can manufacture their products cheaper in the Birmingham dis trict than in the north. Indeed it is stated that they can manufacture here and ship north cheaper than they can buy and manufacture in the north.
 The plant to be erected in Bessemer if the present plans of the concern are not changed will be on broad plans and will constitute one of the largest concerns in the Birmingham district, employing a large number of skilled laborers Consd- erable pig iron and sheet steel will be used in the manufacture of hot air and steam radiators and boiler fixtures.

 The Bessemer Board or Trade enter tained large number of friends, including many if the leading business and pro- fessional men of Bessemer, at a banquet at the Eagles hall on Nineteenth street tonight.

Bond Election.

The people of Bessemer will vote a school building bond issue on Monday, May [, and as the time approaches there is considerable interest being taken In the result
 Some time ago the City Council adopted an ordinance authorizing the election on bonds to the amount of s30000 for the purpose of erecting two additional school buildings.
 While previous elections on the same proposition have failed by narrow mar gins of votes, the friends of the issue are confident that the election will be car ried in favor of the issue at this time.
 The crowded condition of the public schools has made it absolutely necessary that some steps be taken for the imme- diate accommodation of the children who apply for admission to the schools.
 It is the intention of the city and school officials to erect large new building somewhere near the center of the city for the accommodation of High school pupils and another smaller building in some other section of the city most con venient for school children
 It is believed that the people will give a hearty endorsement of the necessary bond issue at the coming election and that the new buildings will be erected at an carly date.

"Never Tote a Gum"

LEXINGTON, KY, Jan. 25.-Colonel
Jack Chinn, Kentuckian, known the
country over as a man who loves to
fight, and who would go out of his way
to, defend his honor, created a genuine
sensation here yesterday afternoon by
an address made to the student body
at the state college, in which he char
acterized the pistol "toter" as a person
utterly devoid of character.
Colonel Chinn was a member of the
senate committee from the general
assembly, which investigated the state
college and he was called upon by the
chairman of the committee to address
the students. He took for his subject
the bill now before the legislature to
abolish carrying concealed deadly
weapons. He said he had more respect
for a second -class thief than he had
for bully, and would rather be caught
with counterfeit money on his person

Nothing so injurious to macadam

HAVE VARIOUS NAVAL PROBLEMS
PLANS BEING LAID FOR WINTER
MANOEUVERS IN SOUTHERN
WATERS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 25.-It
has been decided to have a search
problem for the ships composing the
Atlantic fleet during the winter man.
oeuvres in southern waters. The
question of thus employing the YES
sells of Rear-Admiral Evans command
naval general board, and it was at one
time thought that this peculiar exer-
else would be omitted this year prin-
cipally because the shortage in coal
required restriction in the move
ments of the vessels and would compel
them to remain more in one locality,
instead of spending a week in exercises
involving considerable manoeuvering
and constant change of base. The de-
tails of the search problem will not be
discussed publicly, since they take the
form of frustrating the approach of an
enemy land publicity of the exercise
might disclose important naval plans
which it would be desirable TO keep
from the foreigners. The search prob
lem will be worked out by the battle
ships and torpedo boats and will prob
ably take place near Guantanamo,
whittier the vessels are to proceed
after five days of working on the
search problem. While the ships are
at Guantanamo there will be target
practice with small arms and much
work on shore, some of it in the line
indicated by the president as neces-
sary for the better training Of the en-
listed forces of the navy, by which
they will become acquainted with the
camp outfit and the means of taking
care of themselves away from their
ships.

New Death Engine.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 25.-A
new type of siege gun has been COM
pleted by the ordnance department of
the Rock Island arsenal and has been
shipped to the Sandy Hook proving
grounds at New York for a test. The
new weapon has a calibre Of At and
throws a sixty-pound projectile. This
is five pounds heavier than the pro-
jectile now thrown from the five-inch
siege guns which are to be replaced
with the new model if the new gun
proves satisfactory.
The chief characteristic of the new
gun is its long recoil. This gives a
steady carriage and the carriage will
not jump when the gun is fired, thus
permitting of a more rapid fire, as it
VIII not be necessary to place the
carriage in position after each SHOT.

the bank.
In cases where out of-toWn checks
are presented for payment tne bank
usually requires the identifier, as well
as the payee. to endorse the paper, so
that if the check should prove worth
less the bank viii be protected by two

Identification often causes annoyance
to persons unacquainted in the locality

ton, however, that is stepping hard
upon Harriman's toes, for it promises
to open up to the Seattle and Alaska
markets the products of all East
ern Oregon, Western Idaho and East
ern Washington, which he now enjoys
in peaceful exclusion. The Portland
market is well supplied with stock
from the eastern and southern Oregon
ranges and drew little or none from
Northern Pacific territory. The joint
rate on livestock does not work such

r. & n will be obliged to compete with

Importance of Rate Reduction.
Commissioner Lawrence says the
joint rate question is unimportant in
comparison to the rate reduction issue.
The present rate on wheat On the
Northern Pacific between Tacoma and
Ritzville, is II cents per 100 pounds,
the same rate as in effect upon the O.
R. & Ms Columbia river line. Com
plants ask for a reduction to IL cents,
citing the 10-cent rate which is in ef-
feet between Chicago and New York
They argue that the distance between
Ritzville and Tacoma, being only one
third that between Chicago and New
York, 12-cent rate would be reason
able
"The United States supreme court
he said, has decided that the railroad
rate in one state cannot be adjusted
upon a basis or in comparison with
that in effect in another state, and the
heavy grade the Northern Pacific has
to climb in crossing the Cascades, as
we'll as the greater expense for fuel,
the western roads have to meet in
comparison to the roads Of the east,
must all be taken into consideration
and weighed carefully before decio-
ing"
There are two reasons why the COM
mission mas decided to postpone the
formal hearing until the early part of
June. One is, as before stated, to give
time to collect data upon the rate
question from all states in the Union
and to permit the railroads to consult
and weigh the matter thoroughly The
other is hat the Washington commits
sion desires to attend the meeting of
the National Association of Railroad
commissions, which convenes in Wash-
ington, D. c., April 2. This arrange
ment will give the commission time
roads, and, in case of final refusal, to
give the required 30-days' notice of
the formal hearing to take place in
June.
Decision Before 1906 Crop Comes.
An earlier meeting can hardly be ar
ranged, and this will be sufficiently
early for the commission to render it's
decision in due season for the early
1906 wheat crop, harvested in July and
August, to reap the benefit
In case the railroads decide to ap-
peal, the effect would be the same,
as it will take about two years for the
