Skyscraper Demand.

Atlanta has a few more skyscrapers than Birmingham now, but within four years this city will lead" said & real estate man. Those who think that when the big structures being erected are com pleted Birmingham will have quite enough office space for severeal years to come are not good prophets.
 But my faith in the future of this town is sufficient to make me think that in two years time there will be an urgent demand for more skyscrapers. In three or four years Birmingham will have a half dozen or more additional office build ings.''

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 It's so hard to save money because it's so easy not to begin just yet
 A girl can invite a man to ask her to go some place and make him think he did it.
 The reason you might as well tell a woman how beautiful she is, is she will say you did anyhow.
 woman boasts about the good quali- ties of her children but the real pride that she takes is in, their good looks.
 The great satisfaction of an argument is how you contend for all the things you know aren't so and dispute all things you know are AA

Evils of a Colonial Policy

Ten years of drifting in the matter of the Philippines has pretty well con- vinced the American people that they do not want a permanent colonial pol icy. The Filipinos desire independ- ence. They have not sasingle tie or tradition in common with us. They really dislike us, and they do desire freedom and independence.
 It may be that they are not quite. ready for self-government, but that is no reason why our policy in regard to them should not be authoritatively declared. Mir. Taft is committed to Filipino independence. So is the demo- cratic party. The entire country really desires it. Why, then, does Congress hesitate?
 No one wants to hold the Filipinos as vassals perpetually. It is a violation of the spirit if not the letter of the constitution and of all essential Ameri- can ideas. Nor does any one want to admit the islands as states of the American union. Nine out of every ten Americans who have studied the subject think the islanders should be told in plain terms that we are pre- pairing them for self-government and that it is our fixed purpose to grant them their freedom. Nor need we wait long before we do that.

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
THE SPUR.

THE SPUR. He 1onged to get away from all the tur-
 moil and the strife, The sounding lanes of traffic and the
 streets with trouble rife. He'd lost his grip upon himself, his work
 no longer calling With cheery voice to do his best ere
 shades of night were falling. The inspiration of his youth had almost
 flickered out, The futures path lay dark before, his
 heart was sick with doubt And nothing seemed worth while at all-
 the lit of life was gone; He felt as one condemned to stand and
 watch the world roll on. But. To! the dreary shadows lift. the
 clouds soon pass away. His eyes begin to glow again, he waits
 a better day When fair success shall crown his toll
 and all he plans to do Shall be achieved and he shall see his
 golden dreams come true. What caused this transformation-stirred
 the springs of hope anew And gave him strength to struggle on
 and rise above his rue? A friendly voice across the void said,
 T believe In you.' NO WONDER THEY LIKED HIM. As a rule, the milkman is not a very popular person."
 'As a rule"
 ''Rut I see where milkman in Ohio enjoyed great popularity among his patrons"
 "Sold them undluted milk. eh?' No; he sold them whisky in peculiar shaped bottles."

INTERESTING FACTS TOLD
REGARDING RESERVATION
The Uintah Certain To Become II
Most Prosperous Section.-The
indian is Passing Away.

Captain c. G.. Hall. in command of
Fort Duchesne and Indian agent for
the Indians of the former Uintah res
ervation, is in the city on business
connected with government Indian
irrigation matters. says the Salt Lake
City lnter-Mountain Republican.
Captain Hall says that the 5000
600 project is more than half com
pleted, and the time near at hand
when water to irrigate 100000 acres
will be available.
AS all the land water allotments
to the Indians are held in trust, all
water applications and other matters
are attended to by Captain Hall as
the Indian agent. He makes them
under the state laws and through the
state engineer, in the same manner
as private individual does. and is
bound to comply with all the laws
and regulations in force for private
individuals.
Captain Hall has much to say on
the harmony that prevails between
the Indians and white settlers, and
of the comparatively little trouble
! that has occurred since the opening
of the reserve. He says that the In
dians are taking to farming, and
| their children to the school work.
with a steady Improvement noted
in their method of living and in their
/ attention to business.
Il will admit" said he, that the
! full-blood Indian is on the decrease
and will continue to be until he
changes his methods OF living. Al
ready they are more willing to call
for medical aid, pay more attention
to sanitary conditions, and many
show interest in their environment.
With the apparent decrease in their
vital statistics. the future of the full
blood is limited, but that of the In
dian through intermarriage is not,
and in taht way we look for the ulti-
mate settlement of the Indian ques-
ton.
Captain Hall explained further
that under the first allotment every
Indian head of a family received 360
acres and each member of the family
100. Under the second allotment the
head of a family received so acres
and each member 40 acres These
lands. the cream of the section, are
held in trust for % years, when the
title in fee simple goes to the Indian
owner providing he has shown good
faith in living on and cultivating the
land None of the land can be solo
by the Indians, except that heirs may
sell the estate left them as if they
owned it in fee simple; as may these
Indians who are too old and feeble
/ to work and insane Indians.
IL note little trouble between thu
? white settlers and the Indians con
