Tribute to Pratt City.

There Is no town in the Birming ham district that is the subject of more adverse criticism than is Pratt City" said a pioneer resident of the Birming ham district. Not only that, but people who know nothing at all about the town sometimes hold the place up to ridicule, for instance would-be com edians at the various places of amuse- ment. Yet Pratt City has played the most important part of any town or city in the early industrial development of the great district. From her citi- zenship she has contrib uted men who have won fame in almost every walk of life.
 "The opening up of Pratt mines was the starting point of our present in- dustrial activity, for without Pratt mines the plants at Ensley would not have been built, nor the Birmingham Southern railway constructed, nor the many other plants and industries that are built in it's confines and on its borders. Pratt City can be Justly termed the mother of our present in- dustrial prominence.
 9Th en again no-city in the south can sh ow a more distinguished citizenship Among its early citizens was Henry DeBardeleben, l.. w. Johns, Colonel Ball, William Gould Sampson Alsop and many other pioneers who paved the way for the grtN strides of progress that has taken place since their time Dr. R. M. Cunningham attained his pro- fessional and political prominence while resident of Pratt City. Messrs Ramsay and Mccormack started their career, and laid the foundation for their present success at Pratt City. Job Go ing, president of the Board of Revenue pr. R. F. Lovelady. P. J. Rogers, Dr. G. w. Brown and many other citizens of Pratt City have attained prominence in their respective walks in life. w R. Fairley, the mine workers leader has become a national figure. These are only a few of the citizens of Pratt City who have gained prominence Pratt City responded periodically to the country's call when volunteers were called for in the Spanish American war. Tom Hardeman raised company and was its captain. dying later in the service of his country in the Philip pines. The list could be added to bu, these will be sufficient to show that Pratt City deserves more than the un- fair and unjust criticism that has been heaped upon her of late years"

the loan sharks in the national cap
ital have indicated the urgent and
immediate need of relief. Instances
are reported where a rate of 100 per
cent has been demanded and given
for three month loan of IS. Rates
of Is and 80 per cent have been
charged, and SO per cent usury is not
uncommon. 1t has been customary
to extort higher rates from women,
taking advantage of their known hes
itation in seeking financial assist
ance in other directions, and shame
in exposing their necessity to those
near to them.
The association to be established
by the Woman's aNtional Civic Fed
Grafton proposes to charge interest
at rates ranging from 4 to s per cent
on every variety of money advances.
Among those interested in the enter
prise are Miss Annie Morgan, daugh-
ter of J. Pierpont Morgan; Mrs. Hor-
caes Brock of Philadelphia, and Mrs.
Wickersham, wife of the attorney
general, who is national chairman of
the federation.

Revenge on Cashmere.

The Cashmere hotel is now closed
for good and will likely remain SO.
The Clausen Brewing association has
a lease on the building that runs two
years yet and they are determined to
have revenge on the town, as they
say, keeping the hotel closed because
the town voted against liquor license.
Several propositions have been made
to them to suitcase the building
the first-foor rooms for mercantile
business and the upstairs for room
ing house. The company, however,
is obstinate, and will lease it only
for a hotel at such an exorbitant price
that no profit can be made. They ex-
pect to enjoy and avenge themselves,
closing the hotel and knocking the
town because it has none. They, and
also one S. s. Bailey, the owner, may
rue the day of their obstinacy. Cash
mere is growing rapidly and demands
a first class hotel and it is intimated
that one larger and better equipped
may be erected in the spring.-Cash-

CONTRACTOR MOHR HAS LARGE
FORCE OF MEN AND TEAMS AT
WORK-WILL BE COMPLETED
IN FORTY DAYS.

AS reported in this paper last week
contractor John Mohr started work
on the Waterville railway grade last
Thursday morning.
The first dirt was moved in the
northeastern part of town near the
location of the car barns. Only a.
half dozen teams started to work at
that time on account of lack of
scrapers, etc.
Photographer Witter was on hand
and secured some excellent photos of
the outfit to be used for post cards
and larger pictures.
This outfit has been working stead
lily ever since and has accomplished
quite little work
Yesterday the scrapers, fresnos,
ETC., having arrived, twenty-four
teams were put on the work. A. B.
Brett has put on large outfit; also
a Mr. Nelson Of Quincy and the work
will be pushed to completion as rap
idly as possible. Mr.. Mohr has sub
let mile on the lower end, near
Douglas to Ed .Reeder, of Wenatchee,
who is putting on large outfit and
sufficient number of men to handle
the work quickly.
In the neighborhood of SO or so
teams will be employed on the grade,
and with favorable weather Mr.. Mohr
expects to have it ready for the ties
in forty days.
It was planned to erect passenger
depot at the end of the line at Doug
las, but this has been changed, and
the line will be run to the Great
Northern depot, they agreeing to take
care of our passengers and freight.
This will cause the building of
more track, but will make it much
more convenient for both lines in
many ways.
to assist us in every way possible in
the building of this line has already
been demonstrated in many ways.
They are furnishing the steel and ties
and depot, and We believe will assist
in any other way possible. Quite a
large passenger and freight depot has
been erected at Douglas and the
Great Northern says it is large
enough for both lines. Think of it!
Douglas will have a union depot

Our Cbautauqua

The 1909 Chautauqua In this city is
to be finer in every department than
either OF its predecessors. The Red.
path-Vawter C~hautauqua system
caters not to the grotesaue, sensation
al and silly. They provide amuse-
ments, that are clean and wholesome,
plenty of fun of the best kind, lectures
by men and women who have a nation
al reputation, not men and women
who have nothing to recommend them
to the public only some coarse ribal-
dry and ignorant stunts that please
only people Of bad taste and silly
notions.
The. Redpath Bureau looks for the
best, obtain it and hold rigidly to the
Chautauqua idea" of amusing to
educate; build up a refined public sen.
timent, strengthen the good-and leave
the community better and stronger as
the result OF their work.
