Jones valley mud, to run your furnaces by building a railroad. But for your per- slstent efforts and the splendid faith of M H. Smith, the Birmingham Mineral railroad and the other mineral roads of the great Louisville and Nashville sys- tenn would not have been built and the mines would still be undeveloped. It takes years of unremunerative work on the part of the railroad D4ople to make a coal and ore line profitable and the so-called 'im- mense profits of the railroads of this section have not and cannot materialize until there are more mines and opera tions to feed them.
 I sincerely hope our people will heed your note of warning and rally to the support of our factors of prosperity, the railroads. Yours truly,
 ROBERT STEPHENS. Birmingham and Bessemer Investor.
 Birmingham, November ', 1907. MT. II. F. DeBardeleben, City:
 Dear Sir-As a property holder and tax payer of Jefferson county, having my all invested in Birmingham and Bessemer, desire to express my hearty indorsement of your letter in defens of railroad cor porations as against state legislation so threatening to the future welfare of this state. These railroads are the real foun- ders of the industrial strength of Ala bama, and to bear down upon them at this time would be an act of injustice not only to the railroads, but the thou sands of people whose investments in this state depend largely upon work yet to be accomplished by these highways. Yours truly, T. c. M'DONALD.

In Six Indictments Just
Found at Frisco
Against Hartman and Others
for Rate Law Violations.
Goods Brough: From Orient to
Chicago on Cut Prices.

San Francisco, Sept. Eft is report
ed that the Federal grand jury has
found six indictments in this city
against officials of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad and Pacific Mail Steam
ship Companies for violations Of the
rate laws. These indictments are said
to contain $40 counts and it is UNDER
stood that f. H. Hartman. John c.
Stubs and r. p. Schwerin of the Pa
cific Mail are included among the off,
Gals named.
The indictments are said to be based
on the charge that the companies have
brought shipments from the Orient
through this city to Chicago at 4 rate
lower than the one published.
A special agent of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, Duncan, has
been on the Pacific coast for several
months and also in Japan investigating
these shipments and how the Pacific
Mail and Southern Pacific have been
making rates lower than the published
tariff on them at various times. 1t is
the making of a lower rate than the
published tariff on which the indict-
mcnts have been based.
Southern Pacific officials are said to
have admitted last night that prior to
the enforcement of the new rate law,
they had not been strictly living up to
the three day notice provision of tho
old law. because Of the impoSSibility
Of doing 50 and retaining their share
of the Oriental shipments to this coun-
try in competition with foreign lines.
They insist however. that since the new
law has gone into effect they have
not made any lower rate than the pub
lished one and have not violated the
law for two reasons. One that the
rates have been very steady in the
Orient, and there has been no neces-
sity for making rates other than those
in the published tariff. The second
reason is that as the commission now
has the power to dispense with tho
thirty days notice, where an emergency
rat is necessary. all the carrier has 10
do row is to lay the matter before
the commission and get it to authorize
lower4Eate because of its dispensing

SOME NOTES
ABOUT WINFIELD
New Orleans Times-Democrat
Prints Interviews with.
Sentinel's Editor.


Will A. Strong, editor of The
Southern Sentinel, of Winfield,
La, arrived in the city last night,
and will spend today in New
Orleans to dispose of an issue of
$27, 500 of bonds, recently voted
for the installation of q water
works plant at that place. The
bonds have been listed and will be
disposed of here.
Through the money derived
from this issue, Winfield expects
to install plant capable of sup
plying the population of $500, the
plant to comprise two 100000
gallon pumps, three and one-half
miles OF main, q tank holding
IS, 900 gallons and a surface re-
servoir of200. 900 gallons capacity.
The water supply Is to be derived
from deep wells.
WINFIELD lost its main hotel
last week through fire, and this
fact, SAID Mr.. Strong, led to in
creased activity in the disposition
of the bond matter. A movement
IS now on foot 20 rebuild, a stock
company contemplating the erec-
ton of 3 three-story brick hos
telry.
Mr.. Strong made the trip to
the city on the new train of the
Red River Valley. He says that
the inauguration of this service
will be of immense benefit to
Winfield, one of the marked
advantages being thst the New
| Orleans newspapers will arrive
there at 700 O'Clock on the
levening of the day of issue. Pre-
viously they arrived ct 7:30 the
| following morning, and if con-
nections chanced to be missed,
sometimes did not arrive until
the succeeding day.-Times-Dem

SOME FACTS
AND FIGURES
Increase in Freight Business
at WINFIELD Has Been
Phenomenal.

The increase In the railroad
business at Winfield during the
past few years gives an idea Of
the growth of the place in a COM
mercial way.
The freight receipts of the
Rock Island In 1908 amounted
to 81, 400, while the total for 1906
amounted to s27,761.0O. In not
ing this wonderful increase the
fact must be considered that since
1903 two other railroads have
come to the town and of course
took some of the business that
would have been handled by the
Rock Island had 1T remained the
only railroad entering the town.
The figures on the freight busi-
ness done by the other two roads
are not available at this time, but
their business has been equally as
good as that of the Rock Island
and when this is considered it is
seen that the freight traffic IN and
out of Winfield is no small item.
These figures show that there
is something DOING in Winn-
field and that the commercial
interests of the town are growing
at a rapid rate. The amount of
business done with the railroads
entities the town to reasonable
accommodations in the way of
tram schedules and freight hand
ling facilities, and it'may be sand
that the roads have been ready to
arrange these matters whenever
the town has made the demand.
The two express companies
operating on the railroads to this
place have city delivery arrange
ments and one of them has an
uptown office, but the telegraph
companies have never seen fit to
place any conveniences at the
disposal of the public. However,
this matter will be adjusted at an
early date, 1t Is hoped.

Attended Bankers Convention.
Major Will A. Strong of Winn-
field arrived on the Louisiana
Railway and Navigation Com
pany train last evening to attend
the Bankers convention and to
float a series of $27,500 of city
bonds for the purpose of iuaugu-
rating and building a system of
waterworks for the city of Winn-
field. Hon. G. M. BevilI, mayor
of Winfield, will JOIN him here
today. The major states that
Winfield has now under con-
construction a city hall, market
house and Jail, to cost $4,000.
He says that the new schedule
of the trains on the L. r. & N.
is meeting with the universal
approval Of all the residents on
the road.-Shreveport Times of
