Meeting Last Night
COOLER HEADS COUNSEL
Dignified Course Before Commits

Assertions Of the Heated Party
In a Warm Gathering

The Commercial club held an un-
usually interesting session last night
for the purpose of discussing with
citizens and taxpayers the matter oil
making certain changes i'll The plans
for the proposed new court house,
adding to the beauty of the build
ing and relieving extreme plain
ness alleged in the accepted design.
Consensus of opinion of the meet
ing was that the plans are altogether
TOO plain and unornamental and that
some changes should be made before
contracts are let for the construction
of the building A committee of three
members of the club was appointed
by President Witcher to wait upon
the board of county commissioners
and its advisory committee, to ask
them to have changes made which
the committee will determine upon
and suggest. The member of this
committee are Robert Neill D. G. Me-
Donald and j. II. Carbon.
In the opening discussion, Con
tractor Kosta declared the plans ac-
cepted entirely out of date, plain to
the point of severity, and taken as
whole, the appearance of the Guild
ing, as shown in the plans, would be
an eyesore to the community. He
suggested new front elevation with
some architectural beauty thrown IN
Robert Neill followed with a red
hot speech in which he attacked
those who would criticize the com
missioners for adoption of the plans

On the reverberatory furnace work
is going ahead. On none of it's con-
tracts is the American Bridge COM
pany idle. On some of them the
working forces have been reduced
but at none has work been stopped
in entirety. Reductions that have
been made have been principally be-
cause of the completion of certain
lines of work and the lack of place
to put the men on other jobs. De-
crease of activity there has naturally
been at McGill, as construction work
has come steadily nearer to compile

most certainly not prevail. Much is

Dle proportions will continue straight

THINKS IT HIGH GRADE.
Horton Says Blue Eagle Country Is
Coming Out-IncreaSed Activity.

Martin Horton, the merchant at
Blue Eagle, returned home yester-
day with six horse outfit pulling
supplies for his trade. The latter
has recently been unusually good
from the fact that there are many
prospecting parties in the Blue Eagle
country and good deal of work un-
der way The latter is particularly
true at the Reyelry and Tibo camps,
where something like 100 men are
employed. Blue Eagle is 80 miles
southwest of the city. Mr.. Horton is
of opinion that the section will come
forward strong during the next year
as a producer of high grade.

As a Smelling Center.


Perhaps no more fortunate thing
could have occurred for Ely than
the closing of the great smelling
plants of the Salt Lake valley by a
decree of court. 1t would seem that
smelling companies have been slow
to learn that they are not wanted in
agricultural sections. Surely they
ought to know by this time that the
only permanent location for a smelt-
ing plant must be far removed from
an agricultural community, but it
should also be conveniently located
to large mineral deposits, where wa
ter is plentiful The location of the
smelling plant at McGill is ideal in
every respect. 1t will never be trou-
bled by the farmers, as its first act
was to buy up the ranches for sew
eral miles in every direction. Nc
Gill is destined at no distant day to
become the greatest smelling point
in the world. And there are other
equally good locations in this neigh
borhood that will be utilized by
other companies when their neces-
sity becomes apparent.-Mining Rec

PIG IRON MARKET
 STILL VERY DULL
PRICES FIRM AND FURNACE CON- PANIES NOT PRESSING THEIR
 PRODUCT ON RELUCTANT BUY ERs-cokE IS UNMISTAkABLY

As September approaches brisker in- quries In the pig iron market are in evidence. But today dullness Is the rule.
 Rogers, Brown & Co s Cincinnati report follows:
 | his week has brought out several in. quiries of good size and there is a large tonnage still pending, which may be closed at any moment. There is consld- erable more action and interest in the market than for several weeks past, and while a good portion of the business has been somewhat in the nature of feeling the market pulse, a good business has been done
 Locally, prices are firm and furnaces are not forcing their wares on reluc- tant buyers, in any sense of the word. On account of the unsettled condition of securities and the tightening of the purse strings in the money market, there is 0 genteel conservatism marking all the iron transactions which have been on record during the recent past
 In all branches of the iron and steel industry, with the exception of rails, orders continue to pour in and the lack of confidence in the rail business is now of such character that this hesltancy Is well understood. It Is generally con- ceded that the railroads cannot afford to cut down purchases much. Their enor- nous business demands that their eouip- ment be kept up at the highest possible notch
 Official reports, and otherwise, on the condition of the leading crops at the beginning of August showed that every prospect was at least fair and some were good. While there Is nothing to encour- age any great activity on account of remarkable boom crops, there is nothing to cause any one apprehension of any setback in prosperity on this account In the south and other points in the west they have past that state of affairs where the prosperity of the section was absolutely dependent upon bumper crop.

IRON AND STEEL COMPANIES
 MUST PA Y HEA VIER "A XES

So far the large coal and iron com panies have come to an agreement with Back Tax Commissioner Thompson in re- gard to the raise in their tax assessment. The greatest raise was that of the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company. which amoutned to s1, 45OOOO. the raise be- ing from sS,SOOOO0 to s475O,O0O. This does not include the Ensley steel plant nor the Bessemer rolling mill, but inclues the Alice furnace, two furnaces at Bessemer and five at Ensley, in addition to all of the mineral property through Jefferson county.
 The assessment on the property of the Republic Steel and Iron company was raised S2S9,000, being brought up to $1,- 25O,OOO. This includes the rolling mill and other properties

ment of $192,00o having a raise of BIOS. 900 added to 1t, bringing 1t up to sSOO,0
 All of the above have been passed upon by the Board of Revenue with the excep- ton of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company's property.
 The other bank cases will come before the board on Monday, being the Blrming- ham Trust and Savings company, Amer ican Trust and Savings company Jeffer- son County Savings bank and the Peo- ple's Savings Bank and Trust company
 There has been no kicking on the part of the large companies In regard to hay Ing their assessments raised, each one appearing desirous of an amicable settle ment though it required a number of con- ferences to arrive at 1t. The assessments are being made on a basis of 60 per cent of the real cash value of the property, and it is believed the figures are holding up to this. The 60 per cent basis Is in accordance with the rulings of the state tax commission.

 BUSHEL OF MlSCHIEF-WAS AS l HAPPY AS A BIRD.

Last night about o'clock a little boy, probably or years old, was found wan dering aimlessly, on Sixth avenue and Twentieth street. and when he was picked up by some kind-hearted soul the little youngster said he was lost. The pohce at headquarters were notified and the lost child was sent for by the captain.
 Little Mincy." for that's who he turned out to be, was carried up into the chiet office to be detained until his parents could be located, and then and there pe- gan the most trying moments in the long and diversified experience of Desk Ser geant Ennis.
 Did the youngster cry? Hardly; he had the most royal time which those hVe num- ble years of his have ever seen. He was worse than a bull In a china shop; as much at home as Sergeant Ennis, ana pe- fore he was called for" about forty-nVe minutes later, he knew more about the fixtures in the chiefs office than Chler Wier does himself.

The little red shirt stuck out in front, showing that he had plenty of "boy" in him, and he was hap py as a bird.
 Sergeant Ennis was very busy making out his report when little "Mincy' found the switch and turned out every light in the office. Next he found the typewriter and wrote a letter, principally with the keys F."

After cutting a few more shines he finally jumped up on the desk, found bos> of cigarettes and match, lit one and had a smoke.
 This seemed to satisfy him for then ne kept still Sergeant Ennis sunk back In his chair completely exhausted. He says he chased that brat" fully ten miles over the space of the floor of the chiefs office. Little Mincy" was restored to his father "Mincy," the blind news seller. late last night.
