Il have not considered the court

regard to engineering features ard
not considering any matter of get
ting ground.
II believe you would encroach $50
feet on the court house tract Nc
sulting map.
THE total width of right of way
I have provided is 40 feet"
Wouldn't additional width be nee
essary to let teams approach the
tracks. Otherwise the owners of the
outside ground could close it,"
YES; 60 feet in addition to the
40 might be needed"
Yesterday you stated you had had
no experience in the operating de-
partment of railroads.
Yes
Concerning the practical opera
ton of yards. Suppose you had 10
cars on track. You unload one car,
necessarily hauling it to the place of
unloading, assuming it was at the
freight depot. What would you do
with it when unloaded?'
Take it to the terminal yard. |
see no reason why the operating de-
partment should block its track
Suppose these 10 cars are to be
unloaded at Ely? One is unloaded.
What would you do with it?
Take it to the other track. So
with the rest as unloaded."
Respecting the warehouse track.
Have you made provision for teams
coming up. They will have to cross
a track?'
Yes"
And back up to the depot? Have
you made provision for ground for
this?"
Eyes. There is a county road
there.
You are sure?"
II may be mistaken
I'm all you will need IS feet
to approach the ware house,
Yes"
Your extreme length is LOCO feet,
with about 225 feet of that on the
court house site?"
Yes"
"In order to switch a train of ten
cars onto the main track at the court
house lot end it will be necessary to
shove cars up further than You have
shown on your diagram?"
Yes"
IF that train should have to be
run back in the direction of Ely, how
far would it take you into the town
of Ely?'

BY circling roads around no Other
power plant would be interfered with,
though | thought they could us :
roads now in service
But you understand these roads
are not public property; that they
are plated and we have no right 10
them"
THAT is true, but | hadn't figured
on that"
You stated your estimated cost
of carrying out your plans at $3.50.
Does that include the freight shed?
No | will take Mr. Judell's es-
innate of $1,000. Mine was $1,000. :
About teams approaching the
freight house, you stated they would
cross the side track once on the court
house lot. Would your track cross
the road crossing there
at would"
Taking conditions as they are apt
to be in future. That road on the
court house lot could be closed at
any time and teams could not reach
your freight house. How would YOU
get there?"
by the next street.
THAT is also on plated ground,
isn't it?"
II am not familiar enough to say.
I must look at the map"
After looking at the map he was
unable to find street extending 10
his track and admitted that if the
owner of the ground should close i
the only way to reach the depot
would be to drive down to the other
end of town, cross the track at the
cut and come back. He did not know
whether the ground there was plat
ted or whether the freight depot
could be reached that way.
I'm fact if the ground is plated
and should be held closed there
would be no way for teams TO get
in"
Mr.. Crnmp asked if he engineer
had considered anything outsi lie OF
the actual matter of getting a yard.
He said he had looked at it only from
the engineering standpoint and not
from the practical end suggested by
the defense.
General Passenger Agent Faulk OF
the Northern was called.
Mr.. Crump: ''IIow many cars of
freight do you handle a day in Ely
City yards?'

chandise under normal conditions.

and exclusive of company business,

Mr.. Crump: 'Have you had eX-
perience in paying carriage from Ely
City? What is the difference in cost
between Ely City and Ely?'

He said he had received cars at
| Ely City and on Garden street both.
The difference in carriage cost, $1.35
from Ely City and 80 cents per
thousand feet from Garden street.
| This was on car load lots.
Mr. Lewis of the Lewis Drug Co.
was called. He was asked if he knew
Mr. Gaskill, at which point Judge
Lindley objected, saying that the
Gaskill matter had been thoroughly
aired and that inasmuch as the
Townsite Co. was not on trial, Mr.
Gaskill be dropped. He was sus-
tanned by the commissioners, Mr..
Thurtell stating that SO far as any
thing brought out concerning what
Mr. Gaskill had or had not said had
not appeared relevant. On request
of Mr. Crump, however, the witness
was allowed to continue. He said
that in talk with Gaskill, after the
Gaskill meeting with Mr.. Requa, Bas-
kill had expressed nnger because
Reaua had promised Ely a depot and
said it would cost Requa his posi-
ton.
Mr.. Lindley; MIR. Gaskill is in
Alaska, is he not?'
Yes"
That's all (Laughter.)
Mr.. Fesler was recalled, Mr.. Crump
stating that a question had been in
teriected as to his action in the legis-
lature. In response to the question,
Did emissaries of the company come
to you" Fesler entered into a long
story of the early history of the rail-
roads movements, heretofore given.
He mentioned a favor extended
him by the railroad.
Judge Lindley: 1.-THE favor ex-
tended you was what?'
THE railroad gave me a special
train when I was sick and enabled
me to reach medical aid"
Did you consider that in the ma
ture of a bribe?"
II did not
Did the company offer you any
bribe at CARSON
Not what they seemed to consider
bride They offered me a pass
That was before any anti-pass law
and passes then were included among
courtesies were they not?'
Il believe So"
Did you ever say anything to
Senator Boyd about defeat of the
Garden street franchise bill?"
Il don't remember"
Didn't you say TO Senator Boyd
you wanted that bill defeated?"

You bought property in Garden
street after the track had been laid,
didn't you? What did You pay for

TRAMP PRINTER PASSING.

From the Kansas City Star.
 A typographical tourist" visited the Butler Democrat the other day which visit led the editor to muse thus: Tt is a pleasure to think of many of the old artists who in former years toured the country and paid regular periodical visits to the country printing offices. Old George w. Matchett educated for the Episcopal ministry and drifting Into a printing of- flee to eke out a living during a summer a veteran who was known in every office from Chicago to Galveston and found a hearty welcome in each; Enlightened Brown, a lingust and a scholar, who could ask for a chew of tobacco in 0 half dozen languages and who always ap- peared in a Prince Albert coat and a silk hat and scorned to ride in a passen- ger coach when he could bum his way on freight train; Oscar Leonard, a pro- duct of Missouri and a graduate of one of the best schools in the state, but who had absorbed the printing office virus in early life. Where are they? Old age and the linotype and the typesetting Diachine have forced those of them who fare yet living to abandon the road and take refuge in almshouses in different sections The tramp printer, as he was known up to twenty-five years ago, will be seen no more.

Small Capital Investments.

T don't know what prospects of suc- cess a man has who starts business with a large amount of capital in Brming- ham," said a visitor from Atlanta yes- terday, but this seems to be a happy hunting ground for the man with $25 or $50.
 "As l walked around the city I was struck with the number of cent attrac- tions which presented themselves at every point. There are your moving picture shows, your and 10 cent stores, your cent lunches, served through windows, your peanut stands, candy stands, ice- cream stands, photographers, all doing a thriving and lucrative business on a 5 cent basis
 This sort of places could only succeed where people have loose change in their pockets, and the loose change is a sure indication of plenty of work at good wages. I'll venture to say that most of these little business propositions that you see engaged in selling the 5 cent lunch are clearing more than the amount of their invested capital every week. And these people serve a good purpose, for there is many a time when workinI; man hasn't got time to go home to his meals and hasn't the price of big meal, so that the split bun and the sausage come in very handy.
 II know a place in Baltimore the own CT of which is today a very rich man, and he told me his first start in life was selling lemonade for cent glass; He invested a dollar in his first venture and met with so much success that he went Into the business on large scale. Today he has one cent lemonade drinks on sale in half dozen places in the city. This city should prove suitable place for that sort of business, as I see no drinking fountains about"

Opening the Warrior

Lock 13 is ten miles above Tusca- loosa, and it has been in operation about two years. Locks 14 and 15 have been located and contracts for their construction will soon be let. Locks 1 3 and 1 in the Tombigbee have also been located, and when they are built the improvement of the Tombigbee will stand complete. Bids for the build ing of the four locks will probably be asked for in about thirty days.
 To overcome Squaw Shoals locks Is, IF and IS must be built, and the government is now engaged in locat- ing them. After they are located there will remain but locks 19 and 20 to carry slackwater navigation the year round to the forks of the river and to a point within easy reach of the Ems ley Southern railroad. The present ap- propriation does not cover locks 19 and 20, but the next river and harbor bill will no doubt provide for the build ing of locks 19 and 20, and possibly of additional locks that will extend the improvement to the Frisco and South ern railroad bridges.
 The steady progress of the work should be matter of general congratu lation. Upon Congressman Under woods shoulders will fall the chief task hereafter, but he is familiar with It and he never fails to get whatever his district is entitled to, and generally something besides. Alabama is en- titled to an Open Warrior, and the gov ernment is fully committed to an ex- tension of slacllwater navigation to the railroad bridges at any rate, and pos sbly to Guntersville on the Tennes- see river. The Guntersville extension is, however, matter to be considered and determied hereafter.

Wheat Futures This Year

Expert Snow estimates the winter wheat crop at 35O,0O0,OOO bushels, and the possible yield of spring wheat at 250,000,000 bushels His estimate of the total crop is therefore 0,000 00O bushels, as against a crop of 735 ,000,- 900 bushels last year, according to official figures.
 The cutting of winter wheat has been begun, and the harvest will ad. vance northward every day hereafter. The spring wheat sowing is at last completed, and the acreage is about 10 per cent less than last years. The reduction in winter wheat acreage is also about 10 per cent.
 The crop is short, but the govern. ment says there were in farmers hands on March 1 over 251,000, ,000 bushels. This surplus is a new record, and when to this surplus is added the growing crop there will be wheat enough to go round, and also some to sell to other countries. The price of wheat in Chi. cago is now below dollar, and if the weather becomes favorable the dollar line may not be again crossed this year.

America and Europe.

America is a great country but politi- cal orators often claim too much for us in comparing our nation with Europe" remarked student. One of our most distinguished democratic leaders said in speech the other day that the United States led all the countries of the old world in civilization and achievement Leave out Russia and every nation of Europe is ahead of the United States in it's respect for law. There are many states in the union where more crime is done in year than Is committed in the Ger man empire in ten years. There are more homiciees in the Birmingham district in the course of year than in the London district with S,OoO,00O population. There are more concealed deadly weapons carried in Birmingham than in Paris. This is a great country truly ut we have yet much to learn form the 'effete east

Mr. Fairbanks and General Wheele,

 his own words:
 You wish. general" the President said, 'to take tip service in active war fare?'' and the little man with gray hair and beard replied:
 Yes, MT. President; once under a mask I fought against the flag. Now. please God. before I die. I wish to fight in that flags defense"
 President Mckinley is dead, and it may be tLat no other witness was pres ent when General Wheelers applica- tier for service against Spain was made. General Wheeler, too, is in his grave.
 Although contrary evidence may not be accessible, yet it is simply incred ible that General Wheeler used the word mask" in the sense that MT. FairbanKs reports it. AS the Fair. banks story stands it is charge of hypocrisy brought against general Nro never tired of leading his men

A POPULAR HERO.

From the Boston Herald.
 Popular heroes never die. Some peo- pie, indeed, find 1t difficult to believe in their bodily death. For example. even General Gordon the martyr of Khartoum, is thought by some credulous persons to be still alive. A yet larger number persist in disbelleving that Gen. Sir Hec- tor Macdonald really committed suicide in Paris several years ago; they will shake their heads knowingly and affirm that the unfortunate soldier is yet some where in the land of the living. So dis dressing to his widow have these ru- mors become that an old friend testifies that he placed the body in the coffin with his own hands and personally over looked the closing of the casket. Even such 8 definite statement will not be wholly fatal to that sentiment which can not postulate death for a. hero whom it wishes to be alive.

NEW "SPoRT OF KINGS.'

From the New York World. King Victor and Queen Helena saw Captain Uiivelli of the Italian army go to his death Saturday in a startling bal loon accident. He was 700 feet above the
 Roman plain when lightning struck the
 balloon and the captain came whirling
 down to earth, his fall impeded by the light fabric of the gas bag, but not enough
 to save him.
 King Edward of England with Prince
 Fushimi of Japan watched Lieutenant
 Caulheld and Lieutenant Leake of the
 royal engineers go up in a balloon at Adershot week ago today. Nothing
 has since been seen of them, but their
 balloon was picked up at sea. The German Emperor offers a cup for
 German balloonists in civil life. He saw
 pr. Brockelmann of Berlin start on his victorious air cruise last October. He is
 keenly interested in military ballooning, the newest development of the art of kill ing men by wholesale.
 France and the United States have out
 lived kings, but they do not neglect the new sport of kings" There are GOO men in the French army balloon corps. In Washington army officers will soon
 begin experimenting with three huge bal
 looms, one of which will carry ton and
 a half.
 But ffty-seven persons are known to have lost their lives while ballooning from | 17SS to 1906 but that was partly because | flights were few and short. If balloons in increasing numbers brave the storms, the seas, fogs and lightning, death will take 1 heavy toll of the daring.
