More Duties for Brooken.

Commercial Agent R. c. Brookes of the Georgia Central will again have charge of both the freight and passenger business of that road in Montgomery.
 When the fight was being made on the local railroad by the City Coun- cil regarding the establishment of an uptown ticket ofice. a compromise was finally effected whereby the roads were to put in a telephone and make other improvements in the union ticket office at the union station.
 The Louisville and Nashville was the only road at that time not having an uptown passenger office in Montgom- cry and they agreed to establish one At that time Travelling Passenger Agent c. L. Wolfe of the Louisville and Nashville, had his office on tho second floor of the union station build ing.

 The Montgomery Clearing House As- sociation will begin business about April IS.
 President Michael Cody of the Ex- change National Bank. who is Vice. President of the Association, said yes- terday they have ordered books and stationery and will soon be in active operation.
 The movement seems to have met with the popular approval of the busf- ness men of Montgomery, who realize the advantage to be derived from such an association in which all the com. mercial banks of the city will work in unison for the protection of their pa- irons and themselves.
 The increased volume of business be- ing transacted through the Montgom- cry banks has made this medium of sxcnange & practical necessity and is a distinct indication of the progress of the city.

EXPORTS TO ORIENT.
Figures Show a Great Improvement fin
 February,


 Washington, March 29.-Exports to the Orient show an improvement in February according to figures that are compiled by the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce and Labor and suggests a return to normal conditions of that trade which showed a falling off in 1906.
 The recent reduction in exports to the Orient from the United States oc- cured chiefly in the trade with China and Japan.
 The exports to Japan during last February were $3.402.852 compared with $3, ,295 in February of 1906; to the Chinese Empire S1,S55,5S2, as compared with $2,994,215 in the same month of last year. The statement says that this decrease seems to be due in part at least. to a falling off in the general imports into that country. though the reduction in total imports is probably not so great proportionate- ly as that in the imports from the United States.
 To other parts of the Orient the ex- ports show an improvement
 The trade with other principal sec uons of the world the figures for Feb. ruary and those for the eight months ending with February 1907, show an improvement over the corresponding periods of the preceding year.

will regard the decision as thoro-
ly unjust, while the weaker COM
panies and the public generally will
be inclined to regard it as just and
in accordance with sound public po-
Icy. The point OF view of the
stronger companies is easily under
stood. They were the pioneers in
the field. They had to face the
risks and bear the losses of the ear
ly period. They developed the
business, and when faced by compe
tition went to great expense to
build up the number of their sub
scribers. They have maintained
their advantage in this way, owe
nothing of that advantage to the
state, and therefore feel that they
should not be stripped of it. The
decision turns over to their rivals
the fruits of their enterprise, of
their experience, of their energy
and of heavy OUTLAWS; indirectly
compels them to reduce rates and
offers them no compensation eX-
cept their share of the receipts
from joint rates.
But from the point of view of
the general public the telephone
company, like the railroad com.
pany, is common carrier, enjoy
ing the privileges and subject tc
the obligations Of a common car.
rier, and therefore bound like the
railroad company to connect with
competing lines and to carry bust
ness originating on competing line:
or to send over a competing route
to common point business orig
mating on it's own lines if anyone
desires such routing. On the sur
face, at least, this analogy appear
sound, and unless it can be shown
that the telephone business is s.
essentially different from that O.

the analogy the public will con

. That Telephone Decision.

The decision rendered last week
by Judge Hunt of the United States
circuit court Of Montana to the
effect that a telephone company
must throw open it's lines will, if
upheld by the Supreme court, have
far reaching influence on the tele-
phone business Of the country. For
even if the Montana decision direct
ly concerns interstate business, the
principle it sets up would certainly
be established sooner or later in the
several states. The decision means
in effect that the lines of compet-
mig companies must be connected
and that a subscriber of, say the
Tri-state company, can demand a
connection with any one of the SUBJ
scribers of the Northwestern COM
pany. The immediate effect Of
the general adoption of this prin-
ciple would strengthen greatly in
dependent companies wherever
such companies are the weaker; for
it would strip the stronger compan-
les of the advantage of their more
numerous subscribers by placing
every one of those subscribers at
the call of subscriber of the weak
er company. Moreover, the fact
that, as a rule, independent"
companies charge lower rates would
force a reduction of rates or the
introduction of such marked i'm
provements in service as to over
come any difference in rates.
Otherwise practically all business
would promptly go to the company
charging the lower rates.
A secondary effect would be the
appearance Of numerous new tele.
phone companies, form of enter.
prise that is now discouraged by
the necessity not only Of securing
local subscribers in a crowded fielo
but of having a very extended and
widely ramifying long distance ser.
vice to attract subscribers. Still
another consequence of the decision
would be the abatement of what F.:
good many persons conceive to be :
nuisance of a double telephone ser
vice.

Hunts decision we have no mean
