mission vs. The Louisville and Nashville, to compel that road to enter the union station at Mobile, the railroad commls- sion this morning took the matter under advisement.
 This case has attracted considerable dis cussion, especially in Mobile. As re- suit, Erwin Craighead, John Craft, Albert Bush, Horace Turner, Capt. T. N. NIGH ols. J. B. Waterman and MT. tlueehed were summoned to appear before the con- mission and give testimony. The Louis vile and Nashville was represented py Gregory l.. Smith of Mobile and George w Jones of Montgomery.
 The commission was acting under an act passed by the last legislature which made it compulsory upon the LouisVliie and Nashville to occupy this union sta- ton. The trend of the testimony this morning was that the depot of the Louis vile and Nashville at Mobile was inadc- ouate. and that it was not as good sta tion as a city the size of Mobile should have.
 After hearing all the evidence the com mission announced that a decision would be rendered at a later date. Alter this case came the case of the Monte Sano Land company vs. The Birmingham hall- way. Light and Water Power company. The quect1on up was ol tiio P"7'S from Birmingham to Conner ana Vlhe- vile. two stations between Blrnlhshahi and Bessemer.

 WANT EXCHANGES Small Mills Cannot Keep Up
 With Fluctuations MASSEY WILSON TO TALK Will Address Commercial Association at Selma on Increased Taxation of

MASSEY WILSON TO TALK

Montgomery, July 2.-(Special.) .)-Lumber dealers and saw mill men are deeply in- terested in the movement begun by the small mill men to establish exchanges in the timber states to facilitate the handling of the output. It has been found that the smaller mills can not keep up with the price fluctuations and lose much by taking less than their product is worth. The worst trouble however, IS the effect of this ignorance of the price conditions By selling under the market they keep the price down. the sentimental effect of cutting the price being hard to resist even by the big mills.
 An illustration of this is found in the experience of two men in this city re- gently. One, broker, received word that certain number of cars were load ed and asked shipping instructions He got the instructions at fifty cents under the market The little mill took the cut and lost money thereby. Another sales agent who also had milling interests had an order about to be shipped The buyer asked him to take off the same amount, fifty cents He refused to do so and lost the order. even though it would cost him as much as the half dollar on the thousand to place the product with an- other customer. If that little mill had not cut the price the big mill would have held the order and both would have got ten the fifty cents one took off and the other did not.

Manager of Gas Company Discusses
Common FallacieS.

we want the public to make a full
investigation of our plant. Publicity
does not hurt us in the least and the
more we can get the better it is for us
However the idle opinions of those who
have but meager knowledge of the local
gas situation and think they know it
all, we do not care for. Our plant is
open for public inspection at any time
and if there are any who do not think
we are dealing fairly with the public
they are at liberty to make a personal
investigation at any time"
The above emphatic statement is
from Mr.. l.. G. Treleaven, the manager
of the Consumers Light and Heat
company, the local gas company.
Several criticisms have been made
recently said Mr.. Treleaven. '1n re-
gard to the gas suppIy 1t is noticeable
that all of. these complaints deal with
the transportation of gas into Topeka
and none of them with the supply.
Some people claim that we inject air
into the line at Petrolia, the source of
supply, and others claim that we are
injecting air at Scipio. This would be
foolish move on our part. If we
wanted air for use in Topeka we could
get it here and Topeka air I think
would be just as good. Some consum-
ers assert that we have machines
known as boosters which fill the
mains with air in order to increase the
pressure. These machines are compress
sors and merely force a large volume
of gas into small space in order to add

from Eureka with the Weatherwax as
the knots were surely and safely reel
