Will Complete w.
p. i'm a Year.

September 1908, is the date now
set by the Western Pacific officials
for tho completion of the new
trunk Ene between Salt Lake and
San Francisco. A prominent Of
ficial of the road has stated that
all OF the tunnels will be completed
within ten months, and that the
Gould lines will have n through
route t. the coast within thirteen
months. Work is now progressing
rapidly at all points in California
and Nevada. The most difficult
task which the Western Pacific
has to perform is to burrow
through four mountains, which
necessitates the building of four
one mile tunnels. Some $500
men are now scattered along the
929 miles of right OF way engaged
in the work Of panneling, and
every week a carload of high ex-
plosives is being consumed in this
process. In addition to the four
long tunnels there are nun ber
of shorter borings to be made,
which aggregate a length of an.
other miie.

REMAINS OF
CELESTIALS
Will Be Taken Back to Their
Native Land for Final
Interment.

The remains of every Chinaman
at present buried in Lander county
this State, are to be shipped to
China. This fact was brought out
at a meeting OF the County Com
missioners held at Austin last
week, when the Sal Gar Yang Kee
Benevolent Association was grant

of thirty Chinese from the burying
ground at Battle Mountain. The

merchants of Reno was seen and
when told of the action of the
Lander county Chinese, said:
"Our countrymen are preparing
to do the same thing 1t is prob

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unamous in the conclusion that the
generally accepted limitation OF human
life is many years below the attainment
possible with the advanced knowledge
OF which the race is now possessed. The
critical period, that determines its dura-
tion seems to be between 80 and 90; the
proper care OF the body during this de-
cade cannot be too strongly urged; care
lessness then being fatal to longevity.

HiGh Duties and a SurpIl 8

Up to April in nine months of the
fiscal year the government took in just
about $50,000,000 more than it had paid
out, and the belief prevails that the
surplus on June 80 will be about $7O,-
100000. On April 1 of last year the
surplus was but 900, and yet on
June 30, 1906, Uncle Sam had a bal
ance of s26OOO,O0O.
The surplus of this year promises to
outrun that of recent years. War
taxes were reduced in 1903, and in 1904
there was a deficit of SAL 900 900, and
of $4,000, 900 in 1905, but in 1905 a
surplus of S26,000,000 was rolled up,
and in the present fiscal year surplus
of $4,000, 900 probable.
In the face of such a surplus the
standpatters will experience no little
trouble in endeavoring to keep down Il
demand for a revision of the duties of
the tariff. They are higher than the
condition of the treasury or of con-
sumers warrants. The people desire
relief, and the standpat organization
must in the next campaign face both
an overfull treasury and a people filled
with Indignation over the prices the
trusts sheltered by the Dingley wall
never fail to demand. For every dol
tho tariff act ten go into the fat wallets
of the trusts, and that is why they are
standpatters.

Beets Versus Cane

The output of cane sugar in this
country is lessening, while the increase
in the production of beet sugar is rap
idly increasing. In 1902 the country
made 43S million pounds of the latter;
In 1903 it made 466 million pounds; in
1904 the product was 470 million
pounds; in 1905 it rose to 635 million
pounds, and in 1906 the product from
beets stood at $40 million pounds.
The sixty-three beet sugar factories
of the United States are located in six
teen states, but Michigan and Colorado
are the two leading beet-sugar states,
with California and Wisconsin as good
seconds. Many new factories must,
however, be built before this country
can make its own sugar, for at present
the cane fields and the beet fields do
not supply one-half of the total con-
sumption.
In Colorado the beet yield per acre
is often twelve tons, or about two tons
of sugar The average sugar content of
Colorado beets is 1863 per cent. This Is
the result of plenty of sunshine on
irrigated lands. The money value of
last years crop Of beet sugar in this
country was in round figures $4,000.
900, one-half of which sum was paid to
the farmers who grew 100000 tons of
beets. The sugar beet is fast becom-
ing one of the staple crops of the coun-
try, and the prediction is freely made
that the irrigated lands Of the Far
West will yet produce the country's
sugar, aided, of course, by the cane
fields Of Louisiana.

Institutional Churches

In large cities the institutional fea-
ture of church work has been receiv-
ing much attention in recent years.
The Rev. DR.. Rainsford, as rector of
st. Georges Episcopal church, in New
York, led in the institutional movement
and gave it broad scope. The church
kitchen and church parlor had been
opened before DR.. Rainsford's time,
but no clergyman had undertaken, up
to his day, the various enterprises
along sociological lines that st.
Georges rector put into execution. In
his parish house all manner of inno-
cent amusements were to be found,
and for the poor and neglected bathing
rooms, nurseries and schools were pro-
vided. All these accessories made up
what was called the institutional side
of the church.
While some Of the more conserva-
tive pastors have deprecated the mod
ern innovation as detracting in meas
ure from the evangelical work of the
church, the younger ministers of the
different denominations have felt that
1t greatly enhanced the church's USE
fulness in a spiritual way, and for that
reason have been pushing the institu-
tional idea with energy and apparent
success.
There is. scarcely large church of
any denomination in the great centers
of population that is without its
kitchen, supper hall. parlor, gymna-
stun and night school. Birmingham
has caught the spirit, and in a short
while dozen or more of our churches
will be classed as institutional. The
Southside Baptist church was fast de-
veloping an institutional department
when its building was destroyed by
fire. In connection with the new house
of worship institutional activities will

The Presbyterians.

The Presbyterian general assembly that
meets In Birmingham next month will be
attended by a large number of able di-
vines.
Many visitors will also be in attend
ance,'' said layman not of the Presby-
terrain household.
1.-THE Presbyterian church has always
been noted for the scholarly attachments
of Its ministry, and their was never a
time In the church's history when force
full and eloquent theologians and CONVEX
sationalists were lacking. Great masters
of polemnics made the fur fly In other
days. and while religious controversy is
not much In vogue now, Presbyterans
there are today who would be quite equal
to any occasion that might call forth ex-
citing debate.
1.-The body that meets here is known
as the Southern Presbyterian church. 1t
embraces a COMMUNICATE membership of
250, 600. Many leading men In both the
northern and southern general assemblies
earnestly advocate organic union, but ow-
ing to the point of view which northerns
take of the race question union, in my
opinion, will be long delayed.
"The general assembly will be hearty
welcomed In Birmingham. Regardless of
creed, our people will vie with each other
in entertaining the visiting pastors and
elders.

Our County Jail

The long and short of the county
Jail story seems to be, it must go. 1t
has outlived its usefulness, and, State
Inspector Bragg says, its safety. DR..
Bragg considers it a death trap. be-
cause scores of prisoners are locked in
the second story over the kitchen. 1t
is insanitary because it is old, and it
is "A death trap because it is over
crowded. 1t must go. The county has
outgrown it.
The county is big, rich and prosper
Gus, and the Board of Revenue should
not hesitate in the task of providing
safe, ample and proper quarters for its
prisoners. The county has no moral
right to lodge them in fire trap. no
more right than it has to have a court
house or other public building that Is
a fire trap. There is a moral obliga-
ton resting on every citizen to see
that no prisoner is opposed to undue
risks.
The county should not wait upon DR..
Bragg, although he is a man of action
and energy. His report upon the JEFF
ferson county Jail will no doubt be I'M
spairing. He will paint 1t as it really
is, not as some imagine it is, not as
some are willing to consider 1t. He is
famous for plain speaking, but it is a
well-known fact that his structures are
science.

CuIlman's Prosperity.

mo Alabama city of the smaller class
has made more substantial progress than
Cullman," said r. l.. Rosser of Cincin-
NATL who travels extensively through
the south.
'"rhe thrift of the Cullman county
truckers is proveTbial. They have demon
strated what can be done by well directed
energy. Forty years ago what is now
Cullman county was wild and unexplored.
The tax revenues from that section did
not pay the expense of collection. The
county was populated by German farmers
and when | first visited the town-then
only few years old found that very
little English was spoken there To-day
the population seems to be half American
and half German, but every man there
seems to be prosperous. No community
of its size. 1t is safe to say has more
accumulated wealth than Cullman.'

Roosevelt better, perhaps, than an op-
portunity to rally the masses against
a Rockefeller Hartman scheme, and
the chances are that he is preparing TO
build up a public sentiment of that ma
ture. He is keen judge of human ma
ture and public sentiment, and unless
the railroads and trusts and magnates
behave with unprecedented circum-
spection and unselfshness, he may
arouse a storm of Indignation that they
cannot successfully meet. They are
standing on dangerous ground when
they combine to fight man as rash
and impetuous as Mr.. Roosevelt can
readily become. The President may
not be a great man, but the country
believes he is an honest man, and that
makes him too strong to be overcome
by the Harrimans and Rockefellers and
their slush fund.

Rotten and Dirty Buildings.

'lfthere are any more old buildings in
Birmingham as dirty and as rotten as
the one which is being pulled down on
the corner of Second avenue and Tween
tieth street, the sooner they are con-
| demned the better" said business man.
Il stood on the opposite side of the
avenue last Saturday looking at the work
of demolition and felt srtre that the cltl-
zens had been spared either an awful
accident or a plague. The main walls of
the building were held in by iron rods,
the bricks could be easily kicked out of
the mortar, the lumber was rotten and
the heap of trash and dirt was as bad
as the city. dumping ground.
About four years ago I was in Mo-
bile and was told the city has inst-
on all the old houses in the city How
well they did their work may be seen
in the changed appearance of the build
ings along the principal streets now.
Much of this dllapidated old property
in Birmingham is owned by non-resi-
dents who think of nothing but the
rents they receive. They have no civic
pride and are not confronted daily by
the saualid appearance of these rotten
old shacks which are disgrace to our
public thoroughfares, l am told that the
ground on which many of these build
ings stand is worth $1,000 a front foot
an. that the assessment is about a quar-
ter of the real value.
IF the building inspector, the plumbing
inspector, the public health officer and
every municipal officer engaged in the
protection of the lives and health of the
citizens would institute thorough in
spection of these places and order such
repairs as would make it cheaper to build
anew, change would soon follow. In
surance companies can help by refusing
to insure such premises or stocks of
goods kept in them, and lastly, the pub
lie can help by patronizing stores where
cleanliness and sanitation are to be

From Duluth TO the Sea

Chicago has spent about fifty mil
lions in her drainage canal, and every
cent of the expenditure will go towards
a deep waterway from the great lakes
to the gulf If the general government
will do its part. The railrads are no
longer opponents of waterways, for all
see that there is traffic enough for
both. In all countries the trend is to.
wards waterways, and no doubt this
country will soon be compelled to re-
open and deepen and improve its
waterways, adding here and there
links and loops in the form of canals.
European countries are full Of. canal
schemes, and the United States has a
wider field and nobler rivers.
The Chicago project of a waterway
to the gulf is all right, but two water
ways will be needed-the one down the
Mississippi to New Orleans, and the
other down the Tennessee to Gunters-
Vile and by means of short canal to
the Warrior and then down that river
and the Tombigbee to the Mobile bay
and the gulf. Both are needed, and
both will be built Both will come as
results of the opening of the Panama
canal and the immense traffic Of the
Mississippi valley, which Is the heart
and backbone of the country.

church is becoming institutional; the
Pilgrim Congregational church has an
nounced extensive institutional plans,
and now comes the Episcopal Church
of the Advent with a movement to
build handsome parish hall to be
used for institutional purposes.
This spirit indicates beyond question
that the churches are alive to the So
Geological drift of the times and that
they are able and ready to adapt them
selves to modern needs. Healthy bodies
and happy social environment, 1t is
pointed out, must conduce to mans
spiritual life. At any rate, the Bir-

people and entering heartily upon all
kinds of work intended to uplift the
