Parker's springs. Even Lizzard Ridge and Toadvine had been taken from us to perpetuate the name of the lamented Pettus and create a new syndicate of fee grabbers.
 Now, thought in my dream that there had been no serious objection to the drawing of an imaginary line across the valley that could not quarantine the easy passage of people from one end to the other and could not possibly affect the industrial development of the district but the wall-the impregnable barrier-rose in the midst of the people like an unfur- rowed Alps.
 Discouraging Thought.
 So came up today to get view of the situation. It was discouraging. The reve- lation was marvellous. The view you get of the real situation from where I am writing knocks all your prejudice into a nimbus fog bank. The higher up and the father away you go the closer Bir- mingham and Bessemer come to each other. I reached one spot where both places combined made one small, dull brown speck on the map.
 Dropping few hundred feet lower down I observed beautiful community of com mon interests apparently working to- gether for the good of all. I could trace no real or imaginary lines or reason for them.
 1 noticed another interesting feature AS I drew down close enough to get a good view in detail I was struck with the ten dency of the two towns to grow toward each other. On the south of Bessemer the, development Is curbed by Red mountain. The town is growing northward. Bir- mingham, though 1t has a vast area of available territory to the east and north, is reaching out toward Bessemer with wide open arms and eager hands. The fingers are already clasped in more than 100 intervening towns, hamlets and com munities. There Is now hardly break in the development. The growth during the past five years has perhaps never been equaled in any other southern com munity
 For Singular Number.
 That the next 10 years will see one vast city extending from East Lake to Jones' boro a distance of about A miles. Is as certain as the world exists for that length of time. There may be in this territory a dozen municipalities and two counties, but the result and general eff feet will be the same. Neither Bessemer nor Birmingham can lay exclusive claim to the mighty development. The great city or community, which will be considered in the singular number by the man up In a balloon will be the result of a common cause. Imaginary county lines will have no effect on the vision.
 About noon today I met a runabout aeroplane headed toward Montgomery with a delegation of prominent citizens from Bessemer. hailed the captain and asked whence they came.
 From Bessemer," interjected the daIapa tfnn haf0rA the captain could reply
 ''Where Is Bessemer?" I asked.
 where Is Bessemer? Why, Bessemer is three miles from McCalla."

SWORD OF THE KING.

The above is the title of the big
feature film to be put in at the Park
theater this evening. 1t is pro-
dution of worldwide note. and is GER
tain to please. Signor Travato, who
has been making an immense hit with
his fine tenor, will appear again in
selected songs, and the little Mel
notte sisters will present their newest
and best specialties. AS whole the
program will be one of the best yet
put on.
Rain interferred somewhat with the
success of the program Saturday night;
but it promises to be fine this evening,
and the audience should be very large
one.

TWO BIG RACES FOR
NEW YEAR FESTIVAL

Arrangements are under way for
the pulling of two big athletic events
at the Athletic Park on New Years
Day. These events are a fifteen-miles
running race between Antoine Kaoo
and Tsukamoto, the speedy Japanese
distance man; and a walking race be-
tween Dick Sullivan and H. M. Ayres
Kaoo and Tsukamoto have met each
other over ten miles and the full
Marathon distance and hair-raising
finish was the result on each occasion
They have not raced fifteen miles to-
gether, however, and the sporting pop
ulace are eager to see who is the best
man at the middle distance
Other entries will be received and
will probably consist of Chinese Char
lie, Herbert Cordeiro and Nigel jack

The walking race between Ayres and
Sullivan may be at mile or half a

close race of it for a mile last Sunday

1t looks as if there would be quite
an influx of new horse-racing blood
into the Islands next year, in readiness
for the big purses expected to be Of
fered by the executive Of the Maui
Fourth of July race meeting.
A well-ltnown horseman has ar
ranged to have something fast sent

Sam Parker will, it is said, have a
speedy colt for the Maui meeting, and
one which was one of the best of his
age in California last year.
John O'Rourke will rely on his good
mare Banoniea and his horse ST. Avon

EMPIRES SPECIAL.

The Special programs to precede the
holidays will begin at the Empire this
evening, one of the best moving picture
cards ever attempted being put on. A
great, special feature will be the sing

stage appearance. Another feature
will be the singing of the Kahalulu

Years Day should furnish a memoir
able contest with a good chance of the
local record for mile being lowered.
If the race be at half a mile Ayres
with his burst of speed would have an
undeniably good chance, though Sulli-
van has showed that he also possesses
a rare turn of speed A half mile
race between these two walkers would
be touch-and-go AFFAIR all the way
and the $50 yards would undoubtedly
be negotiated in very fast time.
The Athletic Park track goes six
laps to the mile and both the running
and walking races could be viewed in
their entirety and in comfort by the
occupants of the grand stand and
bleachers.
There is nothing else going on on
New Years Day which comes at the
end of the week, and it seems certain
that an immense crowd would go tc
the Athletic Park to witness the pro
posed races.

The Orpheum was crowded almost to

weekend program of the Golden Com

evening, but this did not deter the
crowd from coming nor dampen the
enthusiasm awakened by the rollicking
features of the program. Jack Golden

most clever musical comedies-"The

there will be some excellent vaudeville

Meripol has had variegated career
IN other lines He is but fifteen years
of age and halls from Milwaukee. The
boy met Ad Wolgast, the fighter, while
selling papers in his home town and
was a great favorite with the pugilist.
When Meripol heard that his idol was
going to fight Battling Nelson in Los
Angeles some few months ago he left
his home and started q long tramp
across the continent. He showed his
grit here by finally reaching the camp
of Wolgast weeks later, tired and worn
out and earned the sobriquet of
Young Wolgast." The ambitious
jockey was in Wolgast's corner the
night Lew Powell was defeated. He
