Express Busineas Br,sI<.

Among the employees of the express company here. there are reports that the number of messengers on several of the trains running into Selma will be Increased after the beginning of the new year. No confirmation of this report Is given from the local office and the local office governs most of the express messengers who work into this city.
 The rumor among the expressmenls that two or three messengers will be used on the train over the Louisville and Nashville from Pensacola into this city each night. Additional express cars may also be put on this train, 1t Is said. It was said that probably two men would be used on the second Louisville and Nashville train out of Selma for Myrtlewood.
 The Southern train between Selma and Mobile it is reported will have an additional messenger after January 1. There Is a similar reports as to the increase of the messengers on the Southern train from Birmingham and which makes close connection with the train in that city from Chattanoo- ga If these reports prove true and the additional messengers are put on a few of the trains running Into the city 1t win mean that the express company Is going to have ample help with which to handle the large volume of pack age business which it expects to do next year and that this volume of bus mess will be handled as expeditiously as possible. The amount of packages which the express company is at pres ent handling on these trains is large and the work is so great that one messenger can hardly do the work

Hot Springs post., 1908-11-12
''AIabam'' Goes
 to the kOyukuk

Charles La Bayleau, better known as "Alabam," arrived in Hot Springs Tuesday from Cinema, enroute to the Koyukuk, where he will spend the win ter prospecting.
 "Alabam" says that things in Fair banks are very dull at present, but that people look for a. revival of busi- ness very soon. The d-of-Naviga- tion he says is as lively as it usually is at this time of the year. There is quite numDer of people who will come to this district as soon as the trail is good. Already there are many outfits leaving every week for the Ne mana and Totatlinika districts, which will be prospected during the coming winter more thoroughly than ever be- fore.
 The trail to Hot Springs is at pres ent in very poor condition on account of the lack of snow. There are great stretches of niggerheads, and in other places stumps which require at least a. foot of snow before they will be as they should for much travel.
 "Alabam" left here Wednesday morning for Panama, where he will join the mail carrier, and continue the journey in his company.
