CANAL COMMITTEE
 WILL MAKE TRIP
To Investigate Feasibility of Water Route to Warrior Along
 Valley Creek

The canal committee of the Chamber of Commerce will make the trip, which was recently postponed on account of the im- passable condition of the roads, to the junction of the Warrior river and Valley creek to make an investigation into the practicability of the proposed water course.
 The party will leave Birmingham in au- tomobiles, going to Toadvine, from which point they will proceed on horseback along the course of Valley creek to it's function with the Warrior. The investi- gation will probably occupy two days or more, as the proposition will be taken up in detail in view of the bill at present pending in Congress whereby Lock No. II on the Warrior is to be built to such height as will throuw navigable depth Of water as far back as Valley creek. From this point it is thought that a canal is nossible and hence the investigation of the committee.
 The committee will report back to the Chamber of Commerce soon after having completed the investigation. Those who compose the committee are Maj. F. Y. Anderson chairman; Richard w. Massey, Robert Jemison, Sr, J. B. Gibson, G. B. Mccormack, T. A. Weller, J. H. Adams and J. B. Babb.

POSTOFFICE MEN
 MAKE INSPECTION
Understood That They Will Not Rec. Ommend Consolidation of
 Local Offices

The postoffice inspectors who have been here several days looking into local con dtions held an extended conference yes terday with Postmaster Joseph H. Mont gomery. There are seven of the inspec- tors, it is stated, who have been investi- gating local postal conditions.
 The principals in the conference would not make any statement as to its result nor would they talk of what was dis cussed. However, it is generally under stood that the inspectors have reached a conclusion about the consolidation ques- ton affecting all the postoffices now in Birmingham and wen, over the situation with Judge Montgomery. It is stated that in few days and submit their recom- mendations to Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock, who ordered the -investi- gation.
 It is reported in federal circles that the consolidated postoffice scheme for Greater Birmingham will not be recom- mended by the postal inspectors to the officials
 Postmaster Montgomery is very much in favor of the consolidation from, a standpoint of better postal efficiency. However, 1t is understood that J. O. Thompson and the other republican lead CTS, among whom is J. X. Thomas, post master at Ensley, are against such step.

 "rhe members are rapidly increasing in numbers All the officers and directors pay a yearly membership fee of from $2 to 8, many making larger donations with out personal solicitations. Although we expect to follow in the lead of other so oieties and make thorough appeal to the public for more members and donations of money, or land. We need to build shelter or refuge for large and small anil mals where they can be properly cared for and, if necessary humaney dis posed of. Many horses and mules could be saved with a little care and rest. Starved and diseased small animals could be removed from our streets all the year through saving people from many sad and disagreeable sights, always in evil dence.
 'The aim of the Humane society is to have an animal refuge in the city with branches in suburbs, where pasturage can be found in some places. Can be commenced in a small way as all the pro- gressive cities like Birmingham have done, when the society was as new as ours. What we need is the money, and then we will demonstrate what can be done. We all donate our services and pay membership fees. One humane agent paid salary. Have one volunteer officer. Books kept systematically and always open for inspection.
 "The Birmingham Oratorio society will give a benefit concert April 25 for the Humane society. New members and gen. erous donations solicited. Respectfully,
 MRS w. N. WOOD, President"
 The Humane society adopted a vote of thanks to the Oratorio society for it's generous offer.

NEW SCHEME TO
 GET INDUSTRIES
Outline of "Industrial Bureau Pre- sented At Meeting of Com
 mittee Yesterday

An outline of the details of the indus trial bureau was presented to meet ing of the Chamber of Commerce coni- mttee for the location, of new indus tries yesterday morning, held in the Commerce building, jointly with repre- sentatives of the different railroads of Birmingham. The plan of the committee will be submitted to the board of drec- tors of the Chamber of Commerce for its approval
 Tn the communication 10 the board of directors the committee states that a guarantee fund of $2OO,GOo will be neces- sary for the work of she bureau, accord ing to the basis on which the scheme has been successfully worked out in other leading cities of the cclntry, and fur thermore that an exemption from munich pal taxation for a pehod of 10 years s or more will be required.
 The fund is to be raised by subscrip- tion for the purpose of assisting in the location of new industries in Birmingham and the control of the fund is to te lodged in the hands of finance com mttee as appointed by the directors of the chamber.
 The chairman of the new bureau will be NJ. P. Messer, also chairman of the committee for the location of new in- dustries, and it's commissioner will pc J. B. Babb. secretary of the Chamber of Commerce.
 In materializing the plans for the in dustrial bureau the committee has, with the assistance of the railroads repre- t.
 sentatives, developed their ideas from the study of other systems which have been worked successfully elsewhere. It is thought that any number of smaller in dustries could be induced to locate in Birmingham through the activities of the bureau, and it is highly probablc that the plan which has met with such enthusiasm on the part of it's ofginators will receive also the indorsement of the board of directors.
 In the near future another meeting will be called, with representatives from the various banks whose cooperation will be solicited. Those present at the con- ference yesterday morning were M. P Nesser, chairman; Richard w. Massey W. C. Kilgore, M. J. McDonough, " E. Whitaker, L. Sevier. A. D. Lightner, A. ?. Redd and R. L. Simpson.
