Relative Rank of Cities.

''The World Almanac for, 1910 is out and Birmingham appears in it for the last time as a tail-ender in the census list of TOO largest cities." said member of the Chamber of Commerce who Is fa- miliar with the statistics of American municipalities.
 ''The World Almanac census table is of course made up as of 1900 when Bir- mingham had a population of only 3S,- z5-b4 souls less than Mobiles census population. In the next years rearranged table Birmingham instead of barely squeezing in as the one hundredth in the list will be about No. fl. In the old list Allegheny. Pa.. appears as No. N, but that city has been eliminated by be- ing merged into Pittsburg. Next below Allegheny was Columbus, O., with 12b.- 6oo. and following Columbus were these cities in the order named: Worcester, Mass, with 18,000; Cyracuse. N. r., with 1os ,0oo Paterson, N. J., with OS GOO; Fall River, Mass, with 1o4sss; St. Joseph.

N. r., with s4,1bi; Cambridge, Mass, with M.sss: Portland, Ore, with So.40e; and Atlanta with 3D. s72. According to the old list including Allegheny, Atlanta was No 6. In tho new census list Atlanta, according to the estimates of population for the principle cities will rank No. 70. That city claims 1b0.0oO but a moro reasonable estimate is 1s5.oOo to 10000. Birmingham does not apear in the estimated list at all but 1@, 900 is generally regarded as a conserva- tive statement of it's present population and as 1t will have a rapid growth within the next three months I will venture to predict that the census takers will Ind 900 souls here next April Since 1900 Los Angeles, Seattle and Portland have made phenomenal strides.

TAFT RESPONSIBLE
FOR COMPROMISE

SPOKANE. Wash. Dec. THE
recommendation OF President Taft is
believed to have been responsible for
the compromise of the request of the
western lumbermen for summer posts
for troops in the national forests. The
original request of the lumbermen
was for a regular patrol of troops
during the summer months. General
Leonard Wood. chief of staff. replied
that the government troops were not
laborerS.
Not Patrol, but Summer Camps.
The Western Forestry and Con
cervatioD association, which has just
completed its semi annual meeting
here. is known to have received a
long telegram from President Taft
on the subject OF the. use Of troops
in subdung forest fires The con-
tents of this telegram were not made
public, but the recommendation of
the lumbermen that no patrol duty be
asked, but that summer camps be
established near the forests, followed.
Resolutions Adopted.
Other resolutions Of the association
ask that appropriations of the forest
service be increased to provide a sep
arate patrol OF government timber,
tnat adequate provision be made by
the states of Washington, Oregon.
California. Idaho and Montana for the
apprehension of offenders against tho
various state laws; that funds be pro-
yided for patrols and fire lighting, and
that 4 reforestration policy be adopt
