 INVOLVED IN THE DEAL
Plans Will Be Developed in Due Time for Construction of Modern Building on the
 Site.

In view of a long time association of the Alabama National bank with the building on the corner of First avenue , and Twentieth street it will be interest," ing to know that the American Trust and Savings bank, which acquired the as- sets and business of the Alabama Ma tional, has become permanently identified with the corner This building has just been purchased for S1S0,000 by a holding company composed of friends of the ban. who will control the property in such way as to insure a permanent habita- ton for it. The building fronts 50 feet on Twentieth street and 12o feet on First avenue. Plans will be developed in due time for the construction of a modern building upon this Site, which, with the Woodward, Empire and Brown-MarX buildings, will complete the Twentieth street and First avenue intersection as the most important and imposing in the city from an architectural and business standpoint.
 The plans recently adopted by the American Trust and Savings bank for the remodeling of the old Berney National bank building in view of these new de- velopments will be abandoned and that property will be put on the market for use as a store or otherwise.
 It is authoritatively stated that with this feeling of permanency in it's oc- eupany of the premises so long occupied by 1t and by It's predecessors, the Amer jean Trust and Savings bank will in the near future increase it's capital stock and make such Arrangements as may be nee essary to take care O. It's increasing bus mess and commensurate with the growth of the city.
 The bank building was owned by the National Building company of which Ben T. Head is president and R. A. Brown is treasurer. In the trade referred to above A. R. Dearborn represented the pur- ohasers and Mr. Brown represented tho selling interest.

Are Regulated With a
Little Diapepsin
Heartburn, Gas, Dyspepsia and
Other Misery Ends.
Your 0ut.of.0rder Stomach Will
Feel Fine in 5 Minutes.

If your meals don't fit comfortably,
or you feel bloated after eating and
you believe it is the food which fills
you; If what little you eat lies like a
lump of lead on your stomach; if there
is difficulty in breathing after eating,
quotations of sour, undigested food
and acid, heartburn, brash or a belch-
ing of gas, you can make up your
mind that you need something to stop
food fermentation and cure Indiges-
ton.
To make every bite of food you eat
aid in the nourishment and strength
of your body, you must rid your Stom-
ach OF poisons, excessive acid and
stomach gas which sOurs your entire
meal-interferes with digestion and
causes so many sufferers of Dyspepsia,
Sick Headache, Biliousness, Con-
stipation, Gripping. etc. Your case is
no different-you are stomach suf-
ferer, though you may call it by some
other name; your real and only trou-
ble is that which you eat does not di-
gest, but quickly ferments and sours,
producing almost any unhealthy con-
dition
A case of Pape's Diapepsin will cost
fifty cents at any Pharmacy here, and
will convince any stomach sufferer five
minutes after taking a single dose
that Fermentation and Sour Stomach
is causing the misery of Indigestion.
No matter if you call your trouble
Catarrh of the Stomach, Nervousness
or Gastritls. or by any other name
always remember that a certain cure
is waiting at any drugstore the mo-
ment you decide to begin it's use
Pape's Diapepsin will regulate any

utes, and digest promptly. without any
fuss or discomfort all of any kind of

ICE COMPANY
BEGINS WORK
EVERY DETAIL OF THE NEW
PLANT HAS BEEN CAREFULLY
LOOKED AFTER.

The Fairmont Ice Company began
the manufacture of ice at It's new fac.
tory on Merchant street today. For
several days the machinery has been
undergoing series of tests. The man
agement wanted every detail worked
out before the work began so there
would be no stop after the plant was
once in operation. The machinery re:
spOnded to every test and the com.
pany Is now confident that It has the
most complete ice producing factory
in the State. 1t will be making com.
mercial ice by Saturday.
The present capacity is 25 tons of
clean crystal ice every "a hours. The
plant is so constructed that this capac.
ity can be doubled when occasion de-
mands it.
The plant has its own water supply.
A pump located in the boiler rooms
draws 24O gallons OF water from the
river every minute. Not one drop of
this water goe sto waste. 1t is used
over and over again until 1t at last
finds it's place in the freezing tanks
between the coils Of brine and ammo
MIA The water is filtered and then
passes to the sO-horse power boilers,
where it seethes and surges over the
fires that burn under It. The steam
cOndensers collect the distilled water.
It is then reboiled, filtered and distilt.
ed before 1t gets to the freezing tank.
1t passes through all these stages in
order to get a product on the market

Thinks Revenues
viii Improve
Waterways

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 27.-
"I am hardly prepared to endorse n
bond issue of FIVE hundred MILLIONS OF
dollars to develop the waterways OF
the United ststes. believe that cur
rent revenues will be sufficient to work
out some comprehensive system Of wa.
terway development, covering a long
period of years, but should current
revenues fail to meet current obliga
tions, then I would not hesitate to
place an additional obligation upon
posterity in order that we may nave
in the United States as perfect a net
work of waterways as have the coun-
tries Of Europe. i say this because
posterity for all time will enjoy the
vast benefits of such improvement and
development"
I Senator Stephen B. Ellins, Of West
Virginia, who made the above state
ment, as Chairman Of the Committee
on Interstate Commerce and as a rank.
ing member Of the Committee Of Com
merce, is essentially an optlnIst. He
believes in the future OF the United
States and in his conservative legisla-
tive work has reflected his optimism
on numberless occasions. But Senator
E1ldns is not dreamer, mis- early life
having taught him that to do things
ds better than to dream things. A pro
duct of Ohio and raised on Alarm. he
was early imbued with the idea OF Sc.
curing an. education and becoming q
lawyer. After mis- graduation from
the University of Missouri In 1850. he
was admitted to the bar and after
wards at the close OF the war. he went
to New Mexico. which Territory he rep
resented in the Forty.talrd and Forty.
fourth Congresses. From that day to
this Stephen B. Ellins has been inter
ested in waterways and does not take
any stock In the oft-repeated declara.
ton that the railroads are autagonis.
tic to waterway development in the
United tsates. He says It will take
both railroad and waterway to do the
carrying business of this country.
what we need most in the United
States is some fixed plan for improv.
ing our rivers which can be made
navlgable by the expenditure of con.
servative sum every year. piece-meal
appropriations are tnings Of the past.
50 far as waterway development Is
concerned. We have been too care.
less and unmindful of the benefits ani
advantages OF these great vstar cours.
es with which nature aas so bounti.
fully supplied us and we have seen
whole harbors and rivers closed Gr
which could have been kept open. All
this should be prevented and WI
should harness the rivers seas and
