CITIZENS TELL OF ADVANTAGES THAT WILL ACCRUE BY CUT TING PER CENT ROAD ACROSS RED MOUNTAIN.

Now is the time for the Board of Revenue to connect the north of the coun- ty with the south," said Robert Jemison iSr, yesterday. For years the people or the east and western sections of Jeffer- son county have had easy access to the county seat, while the south has been practically walled off. and has been forced to trade at Leeds, and to climb mountains Hto attend court.
 This is too important a matter to be delayed any further. The board now has "a proposition before it whereby 1t can sRet the work done for one-ffth of all other figures that 1t has ever considered. The opportunity is here now, and despite all other considerations, they should spend the little s15.O00 and get low per cent grade across Red Mountain.
 You papers have fostered several cam paigns to run a tunnel through Red fAountain at a cost estimated at sl00,- 1000. This has been a public cry for ten Eyears Officers have run for the board son that platform and now that the en- gineers have estimated a plan to get through on 5 per cent grade it seems ridiculous for any delay. The people are behind the board and are insisting that they act immediately

GOOD CHANCE FOR COUNTY
 TO CONNECT BOTH ENDS
sssssssssssssssssssssssss

ands of dollars connecting with their neighbors," said Sydney J. Bowie yester- day, "and here is Jefferson separated from herself with half and the richest agricultural section entirely cut of from the rest of the county.
 This is a disgracefu1 fact. For the paltry sum of s15,O00 the Board of Rev enue can get a road cut through Red Mountain, lowering the present road from a height of 9 feet above the railroad, which skirts Red Mountain at the height of the Brown-Marx building, down 45 feet below and will thus give a road of low grade to the people beyond the noun tain.
 Such a connection with Shades noun tain and Shelby county is of inestimable importance. The cost to the county Is nothing, for within two years the in- crease of tax values beyond the noun tain would twice repay them at double the interest on the money. In fact, 1t is an investment, and it is a proposi- tion which deserves immediate action. It has already been put off entirely too long"

OUTLOOK IN IRON
 TRADE IMPROVING Railroads Will Soon Begin Buy
 ing More Heavily
BIG CONTRACTS AWARDED
Several Railroads Have Placed Large Orders For Cars and Rail Con- tracts of Considerable Mag
 nitude Are Placed.

Cleveland, June 16.-(Special.) )-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say Optimism continues to prevail and there is moderate increase of activity in finishing mills. while pig iron is holding it's own.
 The principal development of the week is the heavy increase on inquiry for cars and improved prospects of heavy buying by the railroads
 If declared, the strike against the establishing of the open shop in the plants of the American Sheet and Tin Plate company, will no doubt be stub bornly fought.
 The strike on the lakes is not char acterized by so much violence as 1t was a few weeks ago, and the longsh ore men have decided not to go out on a sympathetic strike.
 The Pennsylvania railroad is in the market for S5,oOO cars for all lines east and west, and the Baltimore and Ohio has completed it's financial arrange ments and will receive bids on from 5000 to 10000 cars.
 The Hartman lines have received figures on 4300 freight cars. of which 1900 are box cars.
 The American Car and Foundry com pany has received a contract for 2250 freight cars from the Western Pa cific.
 The Chicago and Great Western is in the market for 1000 cars and the Northern Pacific for 2000 cars. It is expected that orders for fully 60O0 cars will be placed at an early date.
 The principal rail orders of the week were for 25,0OO tons from the Northern Pacific, divided between the Indiana and the Lackawanna Steel companies, and 16,000 tons from the Missouri Pa cific to the Carnegie Steel company, and 19,000 tons from the Missouri Pa cif1c to the Illinois Steel company.
 Among the contracts awarded dur ing the week were a hotel at Salt Lake City, 5000 tons and a wharf shed at Boston, 1000 tons to the American Bridge company, the contract for the sub structure of the New York post office, 5000 tons to c. H. Peckworth. The contract for 14.000 tons of cast iron pipe and 2000 tons of special cast ings for the New York city high pres sure system will probably be awarded to Rogers & Haggerty, who were the lowest bidders.

CALHOUN TRIAL
 IS NEARLY ENDED

San Francisco, June 16.-Patrick Cal houn's explanation of the bribery indict- ment against him was practically sub mitted to the jury tonight when N. A. Moore, senior of the six counsels for the presidents of the United railroads, prom ised to close his case during the first hour of tomorrow's session. MT Moore S argument, which has already extended over eight hours, was pronounced tonight by adherents of both sides a masterly review of the case. MT. Moore declared there was a fatal error in the prosecu- tion's case in the testimony designed to show the offer of a bribe. The state had failed, he declared to show that Gal lagher made an offer to Nicholas pror to actual payment of the money. He argued. regarding extracts from the transcripts of prior trials. that Galla- gher and Nicholas had both failed on several occasions prior to the present trial to testify that any such offer had been made, and he intimated more than once that the prosecution had submitted a machine-made case that showed the marks of the tools.
 Without this potent factor, for this is absolutely essential" said MT Moore, this case falls to the ground of its own weight. If there was no offer, there was no bribe. Nicholas, as well as Gala- gher, comes before you an accredited perjurer and has confessed as well that he had been guilty of high crimes against the state. He has sworn both ways first. that he had received an offer. and then that he had not
 Mir. Moore was particularly severe in his denunciarion of James L. Gallagher
 "The top of his head does not emerge from the pit of torruption he has digged for hmself' he said.
 "1f you know man who had added perfidy to perjury, had been turned in- former and sworn his ccnfederates into Jail, would yol return dog to the pounG on his testimony? Or would you de- prive a man of hls liberty and his honor on. the same dUthOrity?'

buildings in various sections will formal ly announce to the world that man flight is an accomplished fact. Parades of troops through streets spanned by triumphal arches will be followed at night by display on the Miami river The achievements of the Wright brothers will be pictured in fireworks.
 The presentation of medals by the na- tion, state and city, will take place Fri day. Gov. Judson Harmon of Ohio will present the state medal, and while that authorized by Congress will be pre- sented by Gen. James Allen, chief signal officer of the army.
 Daytonlans are wondering whether the Wrights at the ceremony will respond" as called for by the printed programme. It is said on a former occasion, Wilbur Wright got out of a similar situation by making a Speech" as follows:

SENATOR ELKINS
 LAUGHS AT RUMORS

Washington, June 16-Senator Elkins laughs at the suggestion that his daugh- ter Miss Katherine, is going to Europe to meet the Duke of the Abruzzi. He said today that the young lady had for some time had slight heart affection, which is always materially augmented by heat. and that her physician had directed that upon the approach of hot weather she should immediately betake herself to the colder zones of the European continent. She will be accompanied by her mother and both will leave whenever the tenn perature here becomes too high for them. The ladies probably will make a brief visit to West Virginia before beginning their foreign journey. The senator added that the duke was still engaged in his moun- tain exploring, and probably would not return to Europe during the stay there of his wife and daughter.
