erurhan pevelopment.

almost the last strip of acreage re-
naming undeveloped between Birming-
ham and Ensley Is now being surveyed
and cut into building LOTS said gentle
man yesterday.
This tract is just east of owenton
station on the South Ensey car line, and
will be known as Earle Place. This is
very pretty property and being admlra-
bly, situated will be readily developed by
small home owners. Some of the acreage
in the Smith Place a little nearer Bir
mingham is also being graded and will
be improved at once. / understand that
the Helm property, lying just west of
Rising station, may also be developed
within the next twelve months.
This will complete the opening of all
property between the two cities and will
tie the two communities in one continu-
Gus string of houses
In going from one city to the other
you are never for moment out of sight
of some new development In the way of

value, and when they do this there is
a wonderful shrinkage in true values.
Our observation Is that in this section
banks alone pay on practically their
whole valuations. The property that
gets out lightest is high-grade, finely
improved farm land. man can own
say 200 acres of fine land that he could
sell for $50 an acre without the house,
and have on it house that is worth
from $1,000 to $4,000, and appear to be
assessed high at S. per acre, when
compared to another 200 acres of land
that would sell for 81 an acre and is
poorly improved, and assessed at 50
an acre. Frequently houses in towns
are assessed at more than the whole
assessments on farms of large size
that have on them better houses. In
other words, IL some farm houses in
rural districts were in town on a small
lot they would be assessed for D
greater valuation than the whole farm
they are located on, including the
houses.

Railroad Promotions.

Vice President j. NJ. Culps circular an
nouncing promotions in the freight traffic
department of the Southern railway will
be read with interest in all large ship
ping centers. In railroad and furnace
and mining circles in the Birmingham dis

vanced are well known and popular. To
begin with George r. Browder of Atlanta,
formerly of Birmingham, has been pro-
NOTED from general freight agent to as
sistant traffic passenger manager.

agent at Birmingham, has been appointed
general freight agent with headquarters
at Charleston. In his new position he
will have charge of freight traffic in

Jail Inspection

Inspector Shirley Bragg is beginning
to inspect the jails in sixty-seven coun-
ties The city jails should also be In
spected, and DIR. Bragg's authority ex-
tends to them as we'll as to the county
jails. All of them should be inspected,
and their condition recounted in an
official report.
The jails that do not conform to rea-
sonable sanitary requirements need
not hope to escape with mere criti-
cism, for Inspector Bragg goes armed
with full power to remove prisoners
when he thinks the condition of a Jail
is unfit and insanitary The new in
spector is not new in experience. He
has studied the convict problem long
time, and he has the courage of his
convictions. He will not hesitate to
act up to them in every ill-kept or
overcrowded Jail. The best way to
keep DR.. Bragg from creating trouble
and expense for the county or city is
to put it's jail in good condition. This
should be done without delay, for DR..
Bragg is about to take up his task with
a view to the entertainment Of the
truth in every county and city in this
state

Growth OF the Country

BY using censuses taken In about a
dozen states In 1906 and by applying
old percentages the census bureau
submits new estimate of population.
1t puts the total population in the
country at 1884, $40. This is prob
ably an underestimate, for the country
has been exceptionally prosperous, and
population keeps step with prosperity.
The population of Alabama is put by
Director North at 2,017877, as against
1928, 697 In 1890. The estimate is for
June 1, 1906. In the six years Director
North says Alabama had increased
about per cent. This would make the
growth of a decade but ~ per cent,
whereas the growth In the decade
ended June 1, 1900, was about 20 per
cent. We add below some of the census

Great Musical Events.

From all the newspaper accounts of
the Sembrich concerts in the south the
audiences are exceedingly enthusiastic
said a club man. Both Madame SEM
brich and Ellison Van Hose are received
with storms of applause, and the pianist,
Frank La Forge is also making hit.
IF there was only one number on the
Birmingham programme announced for
next Thursday night, and that number
the duo for Sembrch and Van Hoose.-a
scene from 'Boheme'-any person who
loves music could afford to travel miles
to hear ii. The programme to be rendered
here is different from that heard in most
of the cities, in that it includes greater
number of songs with English instead of
foreign words, but they sing the same
duo everywhere and it never fails to
provoke spontaneous and prolonged ap-
plause."

Cotton and Food Crops

Up to April 1 the commissioner of
Agriculture reports the sale of 29O,321
tons of fertilizers, an increase of 7161
tons over the sales of the correspond
ing period of last year. This is an in
crease of less than per cent, and 1t
is not probable that the entire sea-
sons sales of tags will be increased
more than per cent.
The sale Of per cent more of fer
tilizers in a season 5 per cent more
favorable for blowing and putting in
crop means, however, an extension Of
acreage. This extension may extend
TO corn and other food products, but 1t
is much more probable that it will be
almost wholly confined to the states
great cash crop. 1t means, in other
words, more cotton if the season be
favorable.
1t is best to know the situation so
that the farmers who believe in larger
food crops will give them attention.
The crops of Alabama are becoming
more varied, and the movement In
that direction should be promoted. No
one should hesitate to plant cotton If
he has already made provision for food
crops for consumption on the farm.
The south is under obligation to a
naked world to make large cotton
crop, but that obligation should not be
construed as obviating the production
of food crops for home consumption.

Finally SAW the Joke.

Birmingham people are too busy to en-
joy joke" remarked commercial trav-
eler at the Hotel Florence yesterday.
Here I've been standing around for an
hour watching for some one to get fooled
and haven't seen even an attempt at
an April fool joke. When | was a boy
you couldn't pass along a street any
where on April l without hearing a yell
as someone got sold out on fool joke
of some kind. Now you can't see a thing
funny on April FOOLS day
The gentleman turned to enter the hotel
with sigh, and big laugh arose from
the bystanders. Realizing that the laugh
was on him the drummer looked around
and then instinctively reached his hand
around to the rear of his overcoat and
found big placard attached with April

UNITED STATES QUARANTINE.
Stations To Be Operated by the Fed
eral Government.

Washington Special to the N. o. Times
Democrat.
Public attention has been attracted to
what the United States marine hospital
service has accomplished and is striving
to attain since the passage of the ma
tional quarantine law at the first session
of the Fifty-ninth Congress. 1t has taken
charge of the main quarantine station and
four sub-stations at Charleston, S. C., the
legislature of that state having passed a
resolution authorizing the board of health
to make the transfer of the property
The principal part of the station at
Charleston is located on government land
the whole of which is leased, pending the
perfection of arrangements for the pur-
chase OF the state property.
At Mobile, in accordance with an act Of
the legislature of Alabama, quarantine
station land has been sold to the United
States government, and Passed Assistant
Surgeon Francis has been placed in
charge of the station.
In Louisiana in accordance with an act
of the Louisiana Legislature, Governor
Blanchard has sold to the government the
Mississippi river quarantine alton, in
Guiding its properties and minor stations,
for the sum of 500, 600 and the public
health and marine hospital service takes
possession April |. DR.. r. II. Won Eze-
dorf has been placed in charge of the
Mississippi river station below New Or
leans, his official tenure beginning to-
morrow.
In Texas overtureS have been made to
the government by the governor for the
purchase of the quarantine plants of the
state, the principal one being located at
Galveston. The resolution introduced In
the legislature authorizes the state to
sell, the governor acting as agent 1t is
not known what the result will be If the
state of Texas does not sell its property.
If necessary the government Will erect
stations of its own.
No action was taken as to Mississippi,
Georgia and Florida, as these states We're
already included in the national fold.
The national quarantine bill which, dur
ing its tendency, was the subject of con-
siderable controversy, carried an appro-
priaton OF 100000 to be expended by
the marine hospital coprs in perfecting
necessary arrangements for giving full
force to all the provisions of the act. 1t
is out of this fund that the marine hos
pital corps is acquiring title, in the name
Of the United States. to quarantine sta
tons formerly in possession of the in
dividual states.

President Roosevelt's Programme

1t is freely stated that Senator Dolli-
yer is to have charge of the admins
tration's Legislative programme for the
federal control of railroads, and the
chief features of that programme are
said to be, as follows:
l. A declaration that outstanding
securities must be accepted as valid
and their integrity not questioned.
2. Railroads will be allowed to make
agreements between themselves, but
under rigid federal scrutiny, to see that
the public interest is not menaced by
such arrangements.
s. Equitable and long term tariff
schedules are to be favored, so that a
shipper may know for stated period
ahead what his contracts call for.
4. Capitalization of control, under
federal supervision, to prevent widely
divergent state exactions.
This programme is said to have the
sanction of many railroad presidents
and magnates. 1t certainly should be
acceptable to those whose pockets are
stuffed with watered securities and
who have no desire to devise new
schemes of that sort. 1t would GER
tainly restore confidence to great
extent because 1t would be an assur-
ance that no attacks by the admins
tration will be made on the Alton deal
or on other deals actually consum-
mated.
Eut 1t holds out no IL fnite promise
that stock juggling and watering In
the future will be stopped, and on that
account it will not be satisfactorily re-
ceived by the people. Any plan that
does not forever put an end to stock
watering will never be accepted as
final by the general public, and If the
bill of next winter is not satisfactory
in that respect the issue will enter into
the campaign of 1908. 1t may easily
become the leading and controlling is
sue of that eventual campaign.

Many MilIionaires.

Il can remember when a man with a
million dollars was in the limelight be-
cause of his wealth." said an old CONNER
cial traveller.
twenty years ago If Plutus were to
walk along the str cts of a southern city
he would be pointed out as a notable
person and the populace would stare at
him. But now nobody worth less than
a hundred million would attract atten-
ton in any town, large or small and
such a lti-mililonaire would not cause
people to pop their eyes open. Millionaires
have become SO plentiful as to be re-
garded as ordinary. Every community has
a few of them and unless they happen
to be ill-bred, they are as natural and
as neighborly as the man of moderate
means. The purse proud man is rare
these days and this fact alone marks an
advance in our social life

ureau's figures for Alabama cities:

1t will be observed that Director
North thinks Montgomery is growing
at the rate of about 35 per cent in six
years, while Birmingham trails behind
at a 20 per cent pace. Huntsville is
allowed an increase of but forty-two
persons in six years, or seven year.
1t is plain that the census director has
several other guesses coming to him.
If Alaska and the insular possessions
are included, the population of the
country on the first day of last June
stood, according to the latest estimate,
at 92,1S2,240. We will have to gain
population rapidly therefore II on June
1, 1910, we are to have one hundred
millions of inhabitants. The gain on
the mainland In six years was 1896.
935, and If Director North has under
estimated our population there is a
chance that the country-the entire
country, provinces and all-will go to
100, 100000 in 1910. 1t Is possible, but
1t is not possible if Director North's
latest estimate is correct.

HERRMAN's DEFENSE.
Tries to lmpeach Testimony of Wit
nesses for the Government.

Washington. April 1.-Binger Herrman's
defense on the charge of destroying public
records was begun today with the eighth
week of the trial, with testimony intended
to impeach the testimony of witnesses
for the government. Mrs. Maud Silver
stein of Portland was the first witness
called for the defense. Her testimony
was calculated to show errors In the
statement made for the government by
Henry Medium. former surveyor general
of Oregon. and that Mrs. Silverstein was
offered 100000 for the use of her name.
Previous to opening of defense testimony
was taken regarding some minor matters.
Several witnesses were examined rel
alive to the state of health of the late
Nathaniel Mckay during the spring OF
1902. The testimony showed that Mckay
was in very feeble health This evidence
was introduced to impeach the testimony
of Robertson, then secretary to Senator
Mitchell, who said that Mckay went out
for Senator Mitchell and obtained a pack
age of twenty-dollar bills as change

question of disarmament al The Hague,

Taxation Values in This State

The visit of the tax commission in
Barbour county resulted in nothing
sensational. 1t resulted in no arbitrary
changes In assessed values at all. No
taxable value was increased or de.
creased, and no new values were added
to the rolls.
But plenty Of advice was handed out,
and the purport of it seems to be that
equalization within the county should
be secured, and that sales of property
should be the guide in ascertaining
taxable values.
Equalization within county may be
followed by an effort to bring about
equalization as between a county and
the county next to 1t. Equalization
among counties of Alabama is very de-
sirable, for differentiation in one
county is robbery Of another county.
The problem is a difficult one, and
thus far the tax commission has shown
no intention of tackling it. Beyond all
doubt values for taxation purposes are
not evenly laid in this state, but just
how they can be put ION the square"
the tax commission does not appear to
be ready to say The Elba Clipper pre-
Bents the problem in a concrete form.

Montgomery, April 1.-The promise
of the Montgomery Traction company
to resume its car service in full today
despite the strikers was kept. Cars
ran tonight for the first time at night
since the strike was declared.
The first show of violence was today
when stones were hurled through car
windows in North Montgomery and the
crew of the car was threatened One
arrest was made. a railroad man, who
has no connection with the strike. No
further demonstration was made today.
At strike headquarters Organizer
Fleming expressed satisfaction with
the situation. General Ragland de-
clares that so far as the company is
concerned the strike is a closed Incl

Area Persons

H. however. a particular portion of
country be taken, Germany easily holds
the record, for the Hanse towns can
boast of a population which is crowded
to the extent of 1927 persons to the square
mile.
The vital statistics of the various ma
lions provide interesting reading. For in
stance, we find that Russia has the high
est birth rate, the figures being 40 per
1000 Of the population. But against this
1t has also the highest death rate, which
stands at 81 per 1000 of the population.
The lowest birth rate Is possessed by
France, the births only averaging q per
1000 OF the population, and when the fact
that its death rate is as high as 1873 per
1000 is considered, the small increase in
