Interert in conventlon.

The Commercial Club received a let ter Wednesday from Hon. Stephen M. Sparkman, Congressman from the Tam pa, Fla, district and member of the rivers and harbors committee of the national House of Representatives ex- pressing interest in the waterways convention to be held in Birmingham on November 19.
 MT. Sparkman uses the following lan- guage in speaking of the movement:
 Tt is needless for me to say that I am in hearty sympathy with the objects and purposes of the convention and will hold myself in readiness at any time to do whatever may be in my power to aid in the development of the commerce in the sections men, toned by the improvement of the riv- CTS and waterways there."
 On account of the fact that MT. Sparkman, as a member of the rivers and harbors committee, can bring a great deal of pressure to bear in se- curing the recommendation to Congress of any bills which he may favor. the letter is considered significant and en- couraging by members of the Comrner- cial Club who are interested in the of Alabama waterways
 Interest in the convention continues to grow. letters being received from West Point, Ga, and other places an nouncing the appointment of delegates.

SUNSET ON THE PRAIRIES.

They nave tanned it with their har-
rows; they have broken it with
plows;
Where the bison used to range it
some ones built himself a house;
They have stuck it full of 1ence posts;
they have girdIed it with wire,
They nave shamed it and %profaned it
with an automobile tire:
They have bridged its quilted rivers;
they have peopled it with men,
They have cnurched it, they have
schooled it, they ave 5teepled it
Amen!
They have furrowed it with ridges,
they have seeded it with grain,
And the West that was worth knowing
L shall never see again.
They have smothered all its camp
fires, where the beaten plainsman
slept,
They have driven up their cattle
where the skulking coyote crept;
They have made themselves a pasture
where the timid deer would browze,
Where the antelope were feeding they
have dotted DER with COWS;
There's a yokel's tuneless wAistling
down the bison's winding trail.
Where the redman's arrow futtered
there's a woman with a pail,
Driving up the COWS for milking; they
have cut its wild extent
Into forty-acre patches ill it's glory
is all spent.
I remember in the COS, when as far
as l could see,
1t had never lord or ruler but the
buffalo and me:
Ere the blight of man was ON it, and
the endless acres lay
Just as God Almighty left them on
the restful Seventh day;
When no sound rose from its vast
ness but a murmured mum and dim
Like the echoed void of silence in an
unheard prairie hymn;
And 1 lay at night and rested in my
bed of blankets curled
Much alone as if l was the only man
in all the world.
But the prairie's past, or passing with
the passing of the years,
Till there is 40 West worth knowing
and there are no pioneers;
They nave riddled it with railroads,
~throbbing on and on,
They have ridden it of dangers till
the zest of it is gone;
And Nv saddled up my pony, for I'm
dull and lonesome here,
To go Westward, Westward, West
ward, till we fad a new Frontier;
To get back to Gods own wildness
and the skies we used to know
But there is no West; it's conquered
and / don't know where to go.
j. w. Foley, in N. Y. Times.
