BY WALTER HARPER

When John T. Cochrane. the Tuscaloosa boy just turning into his twenties, de- termined to build great railroad sys- tenn, he looked over the map of Alabama for promising territory.
 Is 1t significant that he selected Reform as starting point? There was plenty of room in the state for railroad devel- opment. There were hundreds of people perhaps that had never seen a railroad locomotive, undeveloped lands and sites for cities that wanted and were waiting for railway facilities.
 But it was. not far from Tuscaloosa to Reform. If he failed he could walk back home in two days.
 From Reform the embryo railroad builder looked away 10 the south. A tangled wilderness obstrueted his view, but through all this he saw opportunities for development. In the tangled forests of Pickens county he saw a world of tim

MAJ. E. F. BABER DIES

Montgomery, October 2i.-(Special.)- State Game and Fish Commissioner John II. Wallace, Jr., yesterday addressed the following communication to the various county game wardens of the state:
 The matchless autumn season is at hand, on the mountain sides the foliage, scarlet, yellow and saffron, seems to indi cate that creation has donned gala re- galia to bid adieu to the season of balm and sunshine.
 Hunters everywhere are eager to hie themselves to the fields and feils in quest of the quarry they have so long been re- strained in pursuing.
 Under our practical statutes, birds and game have rapidly multiplied and many species that once were on the verge of extinction are fairly plentiful. Hunting has been reduced and the guns are now in the hands of conservative citizens.
 But few offenses, thanks to your vigi- lance, have occurred during the close sea- son, hence we will begin the open season with a state bountifuly stocked with game
 ''The great majority of our people, by instinct and inclination, desire to live within the law, but in Alabama, as in all other states there are those who feel no compunction of conscience in violating the game, or any other law
 These miscreants must be held in check by you and your deputies, not only as a game protective precaution but as an act of simple justice to the thousands that gladly abide the game conservative statute.
 Game belongs not to individuals but to the race-it is ours only when legally reduced to possession.
 T am glad to announce that the former vandalism that was rampant in Ala bama has been checked. Hostility to con servation statutes emanates from sheer ignorance, and Alabama is fast becoming q splendidly educated state.
 Hunters should not be afield without license, nor should they carry game on trains without such a privilege duly is- sued to them.
 Take care that every single feature of the game law is observed for such will eyentuate to the great good of the state.
 ''The dry season is at hand. and forest fires are likely to occur the damage done from the ravages of these confagrations is incomparable. Convict those that are criminally liable, if possible, for firing our forests.
 Game protection and forest conserva- tion go hand in hand and harm to one works damage to the other.
 "It is the policy of the department of game and fish to enforce the law, and your continued cooperation in this re- gard is strongly urged"
