J. NJ. shanley, of Montreal, return ed from a trip over the White Pass and Yukon Route to Dawson, and Is registered at the Pullen House, while awaiting the arrival of the Princess May which will convey him back to the Dominion.
 AIr. shanley is a prominent civil engineer and has been connected wJh the construction of number of the Canadian Trans-Conunental highways besides being the superintendent Of construction and engineer of a mum Der of smaller lines throughout Can ada East. as well as number of large bridges and hydraulic plants.
 In speaking of the trip through Alaska and Yukon Territory Mir. shanley was very enthusiastic as to the possibilities of the country. and expressed his opinions freely. He was much impressed with the loca- ton of Skagway as a seaport, the con struotion of the White Pass railway was a wonderful and daring piece of engineering, and the Yukon river, as a means of transportation, and as a highway to the vast interior, was a reveI eIation.
 "Mr. Dickeson's idea. which l be Heve is a new one, of putting in a dam to store the water of the mighty river until such a time of the year as 1t could be used for the better ment of transportation is in my opin- ion a great scheme. This has been done in the rivers of the United States. the Mississippi and the Ohio. and believe that the same can be done with the Yukon. It is certain Iy up to the Canadian government

 Just what the cost of such lm- provement would be is hard to say, but if by the expenditure of a sum f money, navigation on the Yukon river could be heightened from three to four weeks each season, it would mean much towards the early develop mout of the vast district
 "The copper properties in and around Witehorse appear to me to be a great asset Co the country. and that is what the country needs.

 The work in the mining line around Dawson, and in the Kloudike district is a great piece of work, and represents the outlay Of vast sums Of money. Undoubtedly this work will be continued. and the workings in- creased from year to year.

The most important plan which Mir. Diekeson has in mind at the pres ent time, and one which will likely work for the greatest benefit to the whole country tributary to the upper Yukon is the improvement of the Yu kon river itself
 By installing a head gate at Miles Canyon. or some other point south of that place, which might be found that would be more advantageous, coupled with a dredge which would deepen the channel for thirty or thir- ty-fiye miles, at a probable cost of from SlOO,OOO to S15O.OOO spent the first year the length of the service on the river will be increased from 8 to 4 weeks each season, and it woul mean inestimable value to the work of advancement which is being done in this new country.

INMATES OF CITY
 JAIL TO HAVE BATHS
Commissioners Order Plumbing Fix lures Installed for Comfort
 of Prisoners

The commissioners are for cleanliness and will see to 1t that the prisoners in the city jail be cleansed at least bodily. At the meeting yesterday afternoon bids were ordered asked for the connection of water with installed bathtubs and show CTS which have been in the city jail for some time.
 Commissioner Lane reported to the com mssioners that he had inspected the city iail and fourd everything in pretty fair shape
 'I looked through the jail.' said Com missioner Lane, |" and I found that they have bathtubs with showers attached. Water is all that is lacking to make the service efficient. I think the prisoners should be provided with place to bathe, and then if unwilling should be made to take baths while in jail. l find that a great many of them go for months with out them.
 ''I move that a bid be asked for the work which anticipate will be. very slight to the end that an efficient system emay be placed there for the prisoners"
 Commissioned Weatherly said: T am a firm and longtime friend of water. 1 believe that everyone should wash I second the motion"
 It carried and the work will be ready soon.

MAY REVOKE LOAN
 SHARKS LICENSES
Commissioners Hear That a Negro Was Charged
 Enormous Interest

Some of the so-called loan sharks of Birmingham will perhaps find in the Board of Commissioners foe decidedly of men ever opposed to their alleged evils of practice.
 At the meeting yesterday afternoon the three commissioners in a personal capaci ty denounced some of the practices as out rageous and took upon themselves the task of making one alleged shark" set tie with negro woman a bill claimed to be rather difficult to negotiate between the negro and the loan man.
 The negro woman presented to the com missioners that her husband borrowed s6 from loan man and that he had been paying $40 per month for months on the bill as interest.
 eShe placed before the body threaten ing note from the loan man to the effect that he would snatch" her furniture if the $6 was not paid. She went to him, according to her version. and offered to pay the $6 but he demanded $2.40 addi- tional interest.
 The commissioners instructed a plain
  with the negro woman, state to him that the commissioners could revoke his H. cense at will, and see if the loan man would not accept the preferred $6
 The detective was also instructed to gather the fullest data and report to the commissioners.
 The three commissioners among them selves admitted their want of legal au- thority to force loan man to settle upon the terms outlined to the policemen. but they stated that license could be re- voked and refused if they saw fit. The three denounced the practices as illegal. outrageous and a shame to an enlight- ened community.
 While the city has licensed the loan man. it is stated as positive fact that all three of the commissioners are against their alleged practices and their opera tions unless kept under cover are liable to call for the wrath of the commission CTS to the end that loan sharks will be known no more in Birmingham.

EYES OF COUNTRY ON COMMISSIONERS Inquiries Received From
 Several Cities MACON IS INTERESTED Lee Happ Writes to President Exum on Behalf of the Chamber of
 Commerce of the Central
 Georgia City
MACON IS INTERESTED

Birmingham's commission has the at tention of the entire country if inquiries as to the work and methods are good in dications. Since the commissioners have taken charge of affairs and have slashed right and left, fighting for an economical administration of city affairs, the cities governed by aldermen have taken notice and are besieging the commissioners for dope on the machinery.
 The latest one to come before the com mission was a letter received yesterday from Lee Happ of Macon. He said in q letter to President Culpepper Exum that the Chamber of Commerce of Macon had watched with keen interest the work of Birmingham commissioners and he had been appointed a committee of one to get some data as to the Birmingham bill, it's provisions and the method of oper- ations.
 MT. Happ said the city of Macon was watching the commissioners here and every little action was set out by parti- sans of Macon as an argument in favor of the commission form of government. He intimated that Macon wanted the commission adopted in that city.
 President Exum and MT. Happ are warm personal friends and he addressed MT. Exum in a personal way. President Exum will answer the inquiry soon and recount to the inquirer that the commits sioners here are trying to do the right thing, and have to all appearances the approbation of the people of Birmingham.
 In addition to Macon, inquiries have been received from Atlanta. Rome, Sa- vannah and other points in Georgia. From Tennessee the commission has attracted wide attention and it Is believed Nash vile, Bristol and other cities are warm ing up to the commission form of muni- cipal government.
 From New Haven, Conn.,, statement that the commissioners were attracting attention sup there and their work was being watched with rare interest and att tention to details.
 Birmingham is the first large city in commission government. It is also the first city of tender years to turn her af- fairs over to three men. Birmingham commissioners have performed with more strenuosity in their short official life than any other set ever elected. Coupled with all American cities as to the councilmanic regime and the spot light features of the Birmingham commissioners interests is no higher than should be expected.
 Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, the widely known municipal worker and secretary of Yale corporation, said a few nights ago at the Country club that Birming- ham was being watched by all America to see how the commission form of gov ernment cured the ills of this large and growing city.
