the reorganization committee of the Southern Steel Company. when call ed upon the past week and asked as to the progress made in the deal, said that considerable progress had been made and that 1t would not be long before something definite could be an- nounced. Many of the old employees of the company are waiting for some thing to happen looking to the re- sumption of operations in the near future.
 Coal and coke-The coal production in Alabama is improving already but surely. The large number of men who have been out on strike for two months and longer are picking up their tools right along and are get ting back into the mines. Every prep aration has been made to dispose of all the coal that is mined and there is no apprehension that there will be any too much mined. Shipments are to be made at once into the Louisiana and Mississippi markets. It is expected that the usual trade from that section of the country will again be handled in this district and the railroads and barge line will be called on as the output at mines picks up to move the product at lively rate Good prices Will obtain for coal in this district It Is asserted. Sales agents report a lively inquiry for coal and the ex- pectations are for a steady operation through the winter.

 The fires have done rood in ona wee they have focused the peoples attentia, on the seriousnesss of the forest fire nroh- lem. practical foresters say, and have started widespread movement in many states to cheek them by adopting rational systems of fire protection. Among think Ing people there has been awaksnsde an intense interest in throwing . better pro- lection around the forests. which grow more important as a natural resource as the timber supply dwindies.
 Losses Held Dowu.
 The government has had a lot of work in the fire fighting line on the National Forests but serious the fires have been. careful patrol and the organization of . force to battle with the flames as soon as discovered. has held the losses down to . point whers they are utterly insi ignificant when one considers the fearful destruction which would have come about had there been no protection.
 Although the fire menace has been ser- fous in all sections. officers of the Forest Service estimate that the total cost of the forest fires the National Forests for the season, exclusive of the salaries of forest officers. will not be more than sao.ooe. This sum is small when 1t is remembered that 1t means fire protection for approxi- mstely 1sS.o00.oo0 acres of National For ests. less than two-tenths of mill per acre. Progressive state fire wardens and forest officers. individuals and private cor porations having large timber holdings have organized fire fighting forces along much the same line as the government in many cases, and in this way they have given protection to millions of acres of timber which might have been destroyed had 1t been left unprotected

 In the whole northern half of the United States. throughout the vast territory extending from coast to coast. the report ed destruction by forest fires has been ter rife and 1t Is likely that the year will go down as one of the worst in the last quar- ter century IL seems that no part of the country has escaped the work of the de- vastating flames, The latest disasters In Minnesota. Michigan, and Wisconsin are the worst of the many that have visit ed the Lake States this year. Other sec- tions have also suffered from forest fires during the spring and summer months, and the people of the Pacific Coast, the Rocky Mountain and the, New England states, and Canada have had thorough. and in some cases. continuous experience in fire fighting.
 Runs into Millions.
 Officers in the United states Fcrest Ser vice here say that 1t is doubtful If this years actual losses from fires in all parts of the country will ever be known, but 1t is certain that they will run up so high in the millions that the country will be startled when a compilation of statistics at the end of the season makes tt possible to give even the most coservative figures.
