In Germany and have been more or less in touch with American work in this line for many years. The impression Is cur rent in our country that Birmingham is growing and receiving more prominence in the iron and steel business than any other section. would be inclined to think that this was on account Of the new plants coming here which are con nected with the great corporation.
 We were perfectly astounded to wit ness such a large place. While we an- ticipated that Birmingham was large place at the same time we could not understand how this city and district could have sprung up so suddenly. We are impressed with the possibilities here for further work and expansion, and we do not hesitate, to say that Birmingham is yet in It's infancy. The raw materials of unknown quantity are right at your doors. And in that respect your district outranks the greatest districts in the world"

 HEARD IN CHANCERY

Testimony is being heard in the chan cery court in the case of J. ". Allen vs. the Providence Oil and Gas company and G. B. Grove. ct al. Final adjudication in the case will be had when the testi- mony is all taken and is considered by Chancellor Benners. The taking of testi- mony will probably consume several days.
 Allen is suing for the recovery of some 4S.000 shares of stock in the Providence Oil and Gas company, of which he al- legged he was fraudulently deprived. With several other stockholders Allen claims he was induced to turn over his stock to Turner R. Weakley, as trustee. and was led to believe that the shares were com paratively worthless. Probably more lfti- gation has been carried on in this case than in any other on record it recent years.

 CONDITION OF COUNTRY.
 "As reflected by the above figures show ing station earnings, business along the line shows decided increase over last year and the indications point to & con- tinuance of improved conditions. The perfect weather obtaining during the month has stimulated the maturing of crops and cotton Is now moving quite brskIy, the handling having increased materially during the past week. The grade of cotton is little above the av- craze and recent estimates of shippers indicate crop will exceed last years out put by 10 per cent. The market price has advanced and the movement should stead fly increase from now on, as the farmers will take advantage of the good prices prevailing.
 Merchants at all points along the line report good business and prospects de- cdedly encouraging.
 PROSPECTIVE BUSINESS
 Reports from pipe manufacturers in the Birmingham district are to the effect that remarkable increase Is noted In orders recently, most of the orders being from the west principallly Salt Lake City Shipments of coal to New Orleans have increased wonderfully recently probably due to the low stage of the Ohio river, and the indications are Bir- mingham will this year ship more coal into New Orleans than ever before. as Pittsburg competition is gradually being overcome.

proved himself an adent with n huge
butcher knffe which he had concealed
on his person. The Navajo was con-
siderably carved about the hands and
fingers trying 20 shield himself from
being fatally stabbed In the breast.
The Indian finally got the Mexican on
the run. with the result that Agu.ler
ran into the arms of Policeman Mon
loya. The Mexican was locked up on
"a charge OF carrying concealed Weap-
ons n making an attack with n
deadly weapon. Yesterday morning
in police court Aguiler was telling
the court how the scrap happened
IN the course Of the story. Aguiier
told how the Navajo had given him
some money 10 buy whiskey and that
the scrap started when White Horse

case and il was necessary TO prefer
an additional charge against Aguiler
