SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS
BY WALTER HARPER

ing to this end. He is one of the best informed men on the rivers and water sheds of Alabama in the state.
 Jack Cranford of Jasper was in Bir- mingham yesterday. He wants a sleeper attached to the night train between this city and Montgomery on the Louisville and Nashville railroad.
 "A great many people in the outlying districts of Birmingham, as well as peo- pie who pass this way from other sec tions of the state who desire to go to Montgomery would be greatly convent enced if they could find a sleeping car in which they could retire in the even ing, be taken to Montgomery at o'clock in the morning and get up in that city for breakfast" said MT. Cranford
 The same is true for the return trip A man could spend all day in Montgom- cry, go to bed on the Pullman and wake up next morning in Birmingham. The train coming from Montgomery gets here just after midnight, too late to catch cars to the suburbs or trains for out lying towns. The traveller has to go to bed at some hotel at late hour and then probably has to be up early next morning to catch a train.
 If he could go to bed on the way from Montgomery he would not be dis turbed till next morning. I am sure that the added accommodation on these night trains would be greatly appreciated and would find liberal patronage

HIGHWAY BOARD
 IS GETTING BUSY Will Soon Dip Into State
 Appropriation MEETING YESTERDAY Requests for Aid Are Received and Quarterly Meetings Planned.
 Good Roads Train Leaves
 the City of Mobile
MEETING YESTERDAY

Montgomery, May 1.-(Special.)-At meeting of the state highway commits sion, held in Montgomery this afternoon and tonight, requests for state aid in the construction of public roads were read from the probate judges of St. Clair. Madison and Lauderdale counties.
 This commission was informed that the necessary 5000 in each instance had been set aside for the work, to be used as soon as the state makes similar ap- propriation The commissioners reached TO definite decision, however, as to how soon the work should begin.
 Most of the sessions were takentup in a discussion of the roads improvement train which started out from Mobile to- day, and which is to spend several weeks in this state. The commission deter mined to have a representative on the train at as many points as possible, to which end Maj. V. B. Atkins agreed to attend at Pine Hill, Marion Junction, Selma and other points. It was also de- termined that the commission should CO., operate heartily with the government in pushing the good roads work in every manner possible.
 Quarterly meetings were planned to be held on the first Monday in January, April, July and October. At the next regular session the commission intends to dip into the s154,0o0 appropriation which has been set aside by the state, and to begin immediately thereafter an active and industrious campaign.
 The meeting of the commission was called to order today by Chairman R. l.. Spragins of Huntsville. all of the mem- bers being present with the exception of Capt. John Craft, who has gone to Baltimore for a minor operation. The other members of the commission, in addi- tion to state Highway Engineer w. S. Keller of Montgomery, are: Maj. V. B. Atkins of Selma, Dr. Eugene A. Smith of Tuscaloosa and Prof G. N. Mitcham of Auburn. In all probability the next called meeting of the commission will be held in Birmingham during the sessions of the National Good Roads congress.

DAVE TALKS OF
 B|G CELEBRATION

Washington, May 1.-(Special. .)-Manag- ing Director Dave, of the Southern Com. merclai congress, returned today from a two weeks trip that included New Or leans and ten other southern cities. If re- suited in national movement to com memcrate the transformation of the Pan- anna ditch into the Panama canal.
 In an interview today, Mir Dave ex- plained the connected details of the idea He said:
 Water will be turned into the Panama ditch between September and November 1913"
 mat will be the time for the nation to celebrate the existence of the Panama ca. nal.
 The logical point for such A commenor- alton is the nearest great city to the thin, eommemorated, so that the canal itsol, may De visited as part of the comment oration.
 Louisiana, having gone in and failed to secure the 1915 exposition, is by that fac, unable to move in the matter of A na- tional celebration
 The Southern Commercial congress ha.
 
 ing southwide in extent. will move to eive 10 the celebration national significance With the Southern States acting unitedly as hosts.
 The region affected by the Panama canal is the entire nation and the con gress will therefore invite to New Or leans the leaders of the nation along va. rious lines
 Under the guidance of President FIetcb. CT and the executive committee Of the Southern Commercial congress. there v,Il be held series of conventions in New Or leans affecting each chief commercial fn- terest of the nation, and running through out the month of November. Concurrent- ly with the convention, Louisiana will ar- range series of land and water pa- geants, historical and allegorical settins forth the progress of the nation from the time of the savage to the date of the we'd ding of the Atlantic and the Pacific. At certain e-arranged dates in the month or possibly daily. throughout the month ono or more excursions will leave New Orleans to carry the nations business leaders to see the canal on which SC much of the nations money has been used. The plan will endeavor to make il possible for men living >within 1900 miles of the sulf to spend not more than SD, in traveling expenses to the canal and home again.
 visit to New Orleans again on May 2, to confer with a committee of ten, of which Crawford H. Ellis is chairman and M. B. Trezevant, president of the South eTn Commercial Secretaries association, Is secretary.
 The Southern Commercial congress and the Louisiana leaders are emphatically of the opinion that as this celebration will have no exposition feature. it will aid rather than hinder the work of the vic torious Pacific coast during the Panama Pacific exposition of 19l5."
