a commission to report upon economics
in the expenses of the government. The
creation of these commissions Is an I'M
necessary expense and they are charged
with the duty of doing that which al
ready devolves upon Congress.
while some good legislation was en-
the republicans had the assistance of the
democrats in adopting the same.
THE impression generally prevails in
Washington that the democrats will GER
tainly capture the next house. Sixty days
ago the republicans were so bally de-
moralized that they themselves privately
confessed defeat The closing days of
Congress, however, seem to have given
them some hope that they may yet re-
cuperate and carry the House. However.
the better opinion is that the tariff bill
at the first session of the present Con-
gress has been such a disappointment
that If the democrats make this The chief
issue they will surely win.
The speech of Senator Dolliver Of
Iowa, an insurgent republican. criticising
the tariff bill, is a mastery discussion of
the subject. and is bound to be great
stumbling block to the republicans in the
approaching campaign. He demonstrated
conclusively his statement that one of the
greatest hoaxes of the year 1909 was the
revision of the tariff downward by Sen
ator Aldrich.
1.-THE democrats as a rule acted in uni
son throughout the session; and / believe
there is a better feeling, more harmony
and less friction among them than there
has been in the past sixteen years"

FRUIT INDUSTRYIN
NORTH ALABAMA

Russellvile, June -(Special.)-During
the past week the correspondent of The
Age-Herald has investigated and person
ally inspected some of the orchards which
compose the fruit association which has
been formed in Franklin and Colbert
counties for the purpose of raising
peaches and other fruits for commercial
consumption. Part of these orchards are
in the community known as the Jones'
boro school house community and at this
place the superintendent of the crops, r.
II. Ellsworth of McMinnville, Tenn, Is
now making his home.
Arthur Grissom, a prosperous farmer,
has placed out 1000 trees which will be-
gin to bear for the first time during the
coming season. The trees are guaranteed
by the nursery TO bear during the third
year after replanting. Most of the fruit
trees were placed out in February, 1909,
giving the trees about one year and a
half growth. A certain variety of peach
trees which have been placed out by
Mr.. Grissom have a few peaches on them
this year, they having borne their first
fruit only one year after the time of re-
planting. This variety is known as the
Carman peach, and Is guaranteed by the
company to bear during the month OF
June, 1t being an early variety. The sale
of this variety is not being pushed by
members of the fruit association. the
large alberta receiving the preference OF
all others. 1t being better adapted to the
soil and the fact that 1t will not ripen in
such a short time makes it a favorite,
thus giving the owner time to gather the
peaches from the trees before having to
make a disposition of them.
Last fall the nursery company gave a
premium to the person who could show
the best progress in growth of their or
chard as a whole, this prize being won
by R. n. Grissom who has 500 of the
finest trees in the southern states. The
trees in this small orchard have made a
growth the past year averaging five
inches this record carrying the premium
for the best growth.
An estimation by the nursery company,
which has been pushing the work of the
fruit association In northwest Alabama, is
that next year the orchards will average
an output of one bushel and half to the
tree. Selling these at 81 per bushel will
place in the hands of a man owning 500
trees $3.50. and the man with 1000 trees
1880. This estimate has been based on
the average by the young trees In other
fruit growing states, and the company be-
leves that this part of Alabama will
yield fruit even with the best old fruit
growing state in the Union.
DIR. A. Earned of Frankfort about IA
miles northwest of Russellville, has gone
into fruit growing more extensively than
any other person in the association, he
having purchased several hundred alberta
peach trees, 600 Kieffier pears and large
number of the finest of apple trees. The

SAWDUST IN STREAMS

Montgomery, June 2S.-(Special.) The
season is at hand when the department
of game and fish is anticipating infrac-
lions of the fish law by the use of seins,
dynamiting poisoning etc. The game
wardens of the various counties, there-
fore, have been notified by Commissioner
Wallace to be on the alert to apprehend
all violators of these statutes.
Information has been received by the
department of game and fish to the eff
feet that four men have been convicted
in Henry county for poisoning fish in
streams by the use of lime. Numerous
other reports of convictions for violating
the fish law have been received also.
Considerable complaint has been reg
istered with Commissioner Wallace on
account of the practice of the owners of
sawmills discharging sawdust into the
streams. The original fish bill, as pre-
scented to the Legislature of Alabama,
to throw sawdust or other deleterious
substances into streams, and in this
shape the bill passed the house, but a
hard fight was made on this provision in
the senate and it was eliminated by that
body
A strong effort will be made by Com
missioner Wallace at the next session of
the legislature to secure the passage OF
a bill prohibiting the discharge of saw
dust and other deleterious substances
into the waters of this state. Such a
practice, he asserts, is certain medium
% el, offa fito
the rights of the people in this great
natural resource.
The county game wardens in all the
counties of the state are on the alert
to apprehend and vigorously prosecute
those who may or shall employ unlaw-
full means of slaughtering the f1nny tribe
of Alabama. and those that are over
taken will be delt with to the fullest ex-
tent of the law.

Selma, June 2S-(Special)-A party of
Selrnians accompanied by George Hunt
ing Clarke, a railroad engineer of Biz
mingham. left today to make partial
survey of the old route of the Cahaba
Valley to the Birmingham district, over
which Selma parties are figuring on build
ing a railroad. In the party which left
Selma besides Mr.. Clarke was City En-
gineer Julien Smith, J. L. Clay and 9TH
ers. The trip which the party made to-
day will no doubt result in Mr.. Clarke
being employed to make still another sur
vey for the proposed road, but the new
survey will be different from the old Ca
haba valley survey, and will be more
direct to the mineral district and at the
same time go through a territory which
will be opened up and which is rich IN
agriculture and minerals.
The Selmians who are figuring upon the
road are working secretly, and are CIV
ing out no information. Several who are
working on the building of the projected
road held meeting last night The meet
ing was lengthy one, and during which
nearly every detail regarding the build
ing of the Selma Mineral railroad to the
Birmingham district was gone over.
The visit of Engineer Clarke to Selma
today means that the parties who are
working upon the road are in earnest, and
that before long actual work for its build
ing will be started. The people who live
along the old survey, as well as monied
men of Birmingham, are interesting them
selves in the road. Mr.. Clarke reached
Selma Monday night from Birmingham.
He is said to have attended the meeting
which was held and upon his advice the
party of Selmians accompanied him today
on the trip over a part of the survey
which he made a number of years ago.
J. B. Ellis, chairman of the railroad
committee of the chamber of commerce,
today said that in his opinion the pro-
iected railroad would be built from Selma
to Birmingham and that Selma capital
would figure largely in its building. He
said that he could not, of course, say
at present when the beginning would be
made, but he firmly believed that the road
would be built before very long
OF the projected road Mr.. Ellis spoke
most encouragingly of the way which the
building of 1t had been taken up by the
Birmingham newspapers, which by doing
so had interested a number of citizens of
that city in It's building He further stated
that he would spend several days in Bir-
mingham this week on business, and while
there he would size up the opportunity
and speak a good word for Selma and
see what could be done that is tangible
for the furtherance of the enterprise
