Guy R. Johnson. vice president and gen eral manager of the Alabama Consoli- dated Coal and Iron company has ad- dressed the following communication in which is discussed the tariff on coal and iron:
 To the Honorable Members of the Ways and Means Committee. Washington,
 D. C.:
 Conference.-The following arguments arc respectfully submitted on behalf of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron com pany, producers of purely commercial iron and coal and located in the Birmingham, Ala, district, against any alteration in the present tariff rate on coal and pig iron:
 Birmingham is the chief producing cen ter of the coal and iron industry of Ala bama, and Alabama produces more pig iron than any other southern state Ala bama can produce in normal times about 1,s0O,OO0 tons of pig iron, and 14,5ooOOO tons of coal.
 It's own manufactures consume approx imately 55 per cent of it's output of pig, leaving 45 per cent toebe marketed else where.
 This amounts therefore, to S10,O0O tons.
 Geographically and from the standpoint of consumption Birmingham is badly To- cated. being 275 miles from tide water.

Irish Brogue Classic English.

From London Tit Bits.
The popularity of the English speech of
1rishmen was once the subject of much
humorous comment in America and Eng
land. 1t is less SO now, at least in Eng
land.
Now comes Walter Dalton lin the Dub
lin Leader, calling attention TO the fact
that this so-called Irish brogue, sup
posed to be the result of the trippings
of Celtic tongues over the speech of the
Sassenach. is nothing in the world but a
survival of the English of the best edu-
Gated people of the time of Queen Eliza
beth and later. down to about the mid
die of the eighteenth century.
1t may be mentioned in passing that
Mr. Dalton gives no news to serious his
and its pronunciation. He has collected
however. a number of interesting exam
pies.
There is a smile for the Irishman who
says that some one is such a contrary
fella' that he ought to be "afeared to be
kilt" Yet all these pronunciations were
good English to Edmund Spenser, and
to Godfrey Chaucer. for that matter.
The person. Irish or other, who says "he
garded as illiterate by a modern pedant;
but Chaucer said 'axed" and Spenser
wrote "grutched." If a Tipperary man.
as Mr.. Dalton says, remarks that he is
"agin the peters," Chaucer would find
no fault with "agin." though he would
require a translation of ''peelers," that
being an adaptation of the name of an
English public official much more recent
than the days when the poet of Patient
Grissel held post in the customs
The Irishman's 'complate" was also
IZaak Walton's. to whom and to whose
contemporaries his book The Compleat
Angler was certainly "complate." And
not only does Cowper by his rhymes show
that he spoke "sea" not as see. but as
SAY" but so does Alexander Pope, the
fastidious and finical.

$50 Acres to Trees ia the Spriss.
The Enterprise reproduces the
following, which will be of interest
to the many Virginia friends OF r.
E. Bailie, from the columns of the
WaPato, Wash, Independent:
"R. E. Bailie was in the city Mon
day from North Yakima looking
over several tracts of reservation
land which he owns and which he
is having cleared and leveled pre-.
paratory to setting the same to
fruit next spring. In all Mr.. Battle
is to set out $50 acres and has con.
tracted with the Wapato Nursery
for the necessary trees. The 18O
acres are divided into seven tracts
some of which have been sold. and
all will he set to fruit under Mr.
Bailie's personal supervision.
1T is estimated that when the
planting season is over next spring
there will be in the neighborhood
OF 6OOO acres of reservation soil in
the vicinity of Wapato set to fruit
Some 5000 are already in trees
many of which will bear mex,
year. and from present indications
it will be but a short time until the
reservation will be among the
largest fruit producing sections OF
the great Yakima valley. The ex.
cellence of the product has already
been demonstrated and there is a
growing inclination among land
owners to enter the fruit market"
