Contracts and agreements entered Into by manufacturers and shippers along the Alabama and Coosa Rivers in which they agree to build steam boats and barges for the transporta- ton of freight on the rivers. to build wharfs for the accommodation of all river shipping, to send freight down the river when it is opened for naviga- ton and by several cities on the Ala bama and Coosa Rivers to build wharfs of the most modern type have been made public, and the announcement Is made that. the securing of the con tracts and agreements practically as- sures the appropriation of $10,000,ooO by the4next Congress to cover the ex- pense of opening tho Alabama and Coosa rivers to navigation from the headwaters in Georgia down to the Bay of Mobile.
 The announcement also was made that several large power companies. beliey- ed to be backed financially by the Rothschild banking house of England. will expend a like amount along the river in developing water power for commercial purposes. These power companies are in agreement with the Federal Governmen. 1t is said, that they will spend an amount equal to the Governments. which means total ex- p6u0ltuTC 0L %ANsovvstvV " 0o CAPChoSe from first to last In the improvement of the Alabama and Coosa rivers.
 For several months surveys about the headwaters of the Coosa River in Georgia have been in progress to as- certain the feasibility of storage res- ervoirs to hold in reserve the surplus waters of the Co0sa in the wet win ter months to be released in the dry seasons for the maintenance of suffi- cfent depth for navigation and to make possible head of water necessary for the operation of the power plants to be located along the locks to be built at the rapids. about seventy-five miles above Montgomery.
 Originally 1t was found that . stor- age capacity of ss. GOO. .0eo. 900 cubic feet of water was necessary for the main tenance of e depth for navigation and for power. These observations extend ed over e period of several years and were most exhaustive. At once on fixing the required storage capacity of the reservoirs. surveys were begun to prove the possibility of securing that capacity and within the past month thcse surveys have been completed and it has been found that instead of ca- uacity of sS.ooo. .ooo. .oeo. 1t will be pos eibie t0 secure capacity of 6o,0o0. .000,- 900 with no greater expenditure ot money than at first anticipated.

 The effect of this discovery has been 10 accelerate the movement toward the completion of the work of opening ur the Alabama and Coosa Rivers, as, pos. sibiy. no other thing could do save the securing of the contracts and pledges from the shippers. manufacturers and cities along the river.

TALKS ON WHITE LIFE
ADDRESS AT THE Y. M. c. A. MEMS
 MEETING.
Rev. J. N. Harker Urges Hearers te Strive for Purity and Pure Things in Daily
 Journey.

"The White Life" was lauded and urged by the Rev. J. N. Harker. pas tor of the Christian Church. at the mems meeting of the Y. M. c. A.. in the Empire theatre Sunday after noon.
 Mr. Harker treated the life of per sonal purity as the only strong and satisfactory one. He deplored what he termed the almost universal poll lution among the lives of young men of today. admitted the powerful temp tations that surround every young man in the large cities and that the only course to take is to rise above such conditions in order to be strong.
 If you are normal mem he said, If you have red blood in your veins. you are inevitably faced by great temp tations that mean violation of at least some of the ten commandments and these foreshadow, perhaps, lifelong regret. Appetites come, but do not and to your race to rise above such conditions and by sheer force, per- haps, resist the temptation.
 He touched upon drinking as an evil that is so apparent 1t needs but little comment. He urged temper ance not only as the carrying-out of a sacred admonftion, but as a scien- tific, physical and moral necessity. Such dissipation as whislkey drinking. he said is destructive not only to the man himself, but to future genera tions and 1t is making decadent race.
 "A strong and pure man or wo- man." said Mir. Harker, '1s to me Gods noblest work. The white life. combining purity and strength, gives the individual more satisfaction than ever did the polluted life to a man who falsely boasts of his prowess in immortality. could never understand how some men could be 50 brezen as to boast of their low conquests."

Afraid of Ghosts

Many. people are afraid of ghosts. Few people are afraid of germs. Yet the ghost is fancy and the germ is fact. If the germ could be maeni6ed to size equal to its terrors it would appear more terrible than any fre-breathing dragon. Germs can't be avoided. They are in the air we breathe, the water we drink.
 The germ can only prosper when the condition of the system gives it free scope 10 establish it. self and develop.

Mr.. Rodgers Not Ill.

By some mistake, it was reported
in the Galveston News of Sunday that
General Manager c. B. Rodgers of
the Brownsville road was i'll at the
Sealy hospital in that city with ty-
phoid fever. This report is denied in
yesterdays Houston Post, which
says:
This is a mistake as Mr. Rodgers
is in Kingsville and is physically as
sound as he ever was in his life Nor
has Mr. Rodgers been sick even a
day since he assumed the manage
ment, the first of the year. of the st.
Louis. Brownsville and Mexico How
the mistake occurred is not known,
nor can Mr.. Rodgers himself account
for it, as his recent visit to Galveston
was in company with his wife and
brother, Fred Rodgers of Idaho, and
they spent the time there visiting
points of interest in the city.
