State University
The report of the Board of Regents
of the State University shows the
affairs of that institution to be in
a satisfactory condition. One of the
pleasantest and most profitable Incl
dents in its history occurred during
the past year, when the handsome,
splendidly equipped School OF Mines
building was dedicated and the Mac
kay statue was unveiled, constituting
portion of munificent donations
from Mr.. Clarence II. Mackay, in hon
or of the memory of his father, Ne
vada pioneer. The sincere thanks of
the entire State are hereby officially
extended to the generous donor.
1t is peculiarly fitting that this state
the chief resource of which is preci-
Gus metal mining, should give gener-
Gus support to its School of Mines,
which has already done so much to-
wards intelligently advancing this in
dustry. Nor should the academic de-
partmCnt be neglected in the slight
est degree. The usefulness of an in
stituton of learning lies more largely
in the thoroughnesS and skill with
which instruction is impaired than in
mere vast piles of masonry, and in

Suspicious Blaxes to Re Investigated by Special Deputy Indicated by the State Insurance Com-

Fires in Alabama as to whose origin there is some suspicion of arson will be investigated thoroughly under the new fire marshal act, according to Frank N. Julian. Secretary of State and Insurance Commissioner Steps are being taken to enforce the new law.
 This calls for an investigation of suspicious fires by a deputy commits sioner to be named by the State In- surance Commissioner at the request of an insurance company or any per son interested in the property destroy ed by the fire to be investigated. The deputy commissioner. who will conduct the investigations. has authority to swear out warrants upon probable cause.
 The deputy commissioners are to be paid by special tax on the insurance companies of the State, one-fifth of 1 per cent. on gross premiums collected. The law Is supposed to be of greater effect than was the old law where the investigation had to be conducted publicly and by officers or a fire jury. Already one call has been made on Secretary Julian for an investigation under the new law, but the call came before theabll had been signed by the Governor. The request came from Bir- mingham.- -7t q

 The three cardinal advantages to be gained by the construction of the sys- tom are the minimizing of floods. im- proved navigation and developed water power. The river between Greensport and Wetumpka Is a series of shoals. necessitating more work and expendi- ture than any other part of its course. :. The distance between these towns is seventy-five miles, and 1t is roughly estimated that the expenditure by the Government will be $1o.000.000.
 With this section of the Alabama River equipped with the locks required by the Government. and with the com- pleted storage system at the head waters. there will be a through navi- gable water course from Rome to Mo bile.
