Special To The Tribune.
PROVO. April 9.-The promoters Of the
Salt Lake and Payson interurban railroad
and their friends In this county DO not
think they are receiving fair treatment
from the Salt Lake commissioners, who
have deferred granting franchise on the
plea OF n rival company that has done
nothing In the WAY of surveys. The Utah
county promoters have already secured
franchises through Utah county. and all
cities In the county and as far north as
Salt Lake City. and now they are asking
Salt Lake to complete the chain of grants
and allow them entrance into that city.
Mr. Evans and his associates declare that
there are other streets by which Judge
King and his associates can onter salt
Lake than those streets asked for by the
son people are charging openly that the
plan of the company for whom Judge
King appears as attorney Is only to block
the building OF the road.

l. Davis, who halls from Oregon, IS lh Birmingham. He has chosen Leap Year in which to offer himself as candidate for matrimony. He makes plain and honest statement of his personal assets and liabilities, and does not enter the false claim that he has bed Of roses nrepared for the fair one who accepts his hand and fortune.
 In nutshell, the situation is this: Any lady who is good and whose hands are deft in the art of making bread, who IS hungering for that variety of affection of which the Bible speaks and who IS willing to settle down with an honest, though plain man possessed of goods sufficient to make her comfortable. can by writing to the oregonian in care of the Metropolitan Hotel, obtain an inter- view with J.

CONGRESS IS TO BE
 HELD DURING APRIL

New Orleans, January S.-The second annual session of the National Drainage congress will be held in New Orleans April 1913, 1912, and not in February. as previously announced. Delegates from every state In the Union are expected to attend The object of the National Drainage congress is to secure from the federal government the cooperation and assistance necessary to bring about the drainage-nf the 75OO0,Ooo acres of wet and overfiowed lands in the country in order that through a greatly increased produc- tion of food, the high cost of living may be reduced.
 The time Of holding the session was changed because the February date con- flicted with Mardi Gras. when the New Orleans hotels are filled to overfiowing, and because fmore time is required in which .te. conduct an extensive educa- tional campaign throughout the country

MORE UNDERWOOD
 TALK THAN EVER
Harding Returns From the East-Says House Leader
 Has Regained Health

W. P. c. Harding, president of the First National bank, who returned from New York Sunday night, said yesterday that he heard a great many men speak in most favorable terms of Oscar Under wood in connection with the presidency. Mr. Harding went east to escort his daughters. to Peekslkil. where they at tend an Episcopal school.
 ''I stopped a day in New York city," said MT. Harding, "and day in Wash ington. l was greatly gratifed, of course, to hear Underwood so cordially spoken of as a presidential probability. Under woods strength is unquestionably grow ing fast. Only few weeks ago one heard much talk of Harmon and of Will son; comparatively little said about Un- derwood as presidential timber Now Un- derwood's name is mentioned every time anybody else's name is alluded to in con- nection with the democratic nomination. I am certainly encouraged to think that Underwood's chances for heading the democratic ticket are bright indeed.
 T spent an hour with MT. Underwood
 in Washington. While he has recovered from his recent sickness, he finds it neces- sary to take extra good care of himself in order to prevent return of his trou- ble-an attack of Indigestion"
 In speaking of local affairs. MT. Hard ing said that his annual report to be submitted to the stockholders of the First National bank today would reflect not only the banks prosperity, but Birming hams thrift. In the volume of business handled by the bank in 1911 new high record was made.
 'The total of the First Nationals trans actions, composed of deposits, checks, ex- changes and loans made. was $924. .147, 4so.'' said Mr. Harding. "These figures are | considerably larger than 1910, or any other year in the history of the bank. The
 largest days business In 1911 was Jan uary 3--$1O 33s. .671. The smallest was on August S-S1, ,3S2 173"

 Just what the result of the conference will be is not known. but it was stated by Assistant Manager s. F. Morris, after the conference, that there had been no change from the attitude which the com pany adopted at the beginning of the strike, and this may tend to prolong the difficulty

OPPOSITION TALK IS NOT WELL GROUNDED Few COngressmen Will Have to Fight for Places THE LIQUOR QUESTION Is Not Expected to Figure Seriously in the Various Congressional
 Races in Alabama
 This Year
THE LIQUOR QUESTION

The intimation from Washington that those congressman who voted against the
 proposed constitutional prohibition amend
 ment in 1909 will have to fight for the re- tention of their seats is not seriously con
 sidered in well informed political circles.
 Those prohibitionists who are candidates
 for office at the present time in Alabama
 are plainly desirous that in case any is-
 whisky question"
 The "anti-amendment'' congressmen are
 Underwood. Richardson Blackmon, Clay ton. Dent and Taylor. There will be no opposition to Underwood, naturally Con gressman Richardson will be opposed by Capt. Samuel Blackwell of Decatur who is an ardent prohibitionist. To date no opposition has been announced to Black mon, although rumors of probable oppo-
 sition are rife. Congressman Clayton will
 not be opposed, and the only rumored
 opposition, that of Byrd c. Farmer. would
 not precipltate the whisky question" on account of the prominent part which the
 Houston county gentleman took in the fight against the amendment OppositioG in the person of o. c. Wiley of Troy mas been announced dBdlnSI ConBFSSS-
 man Hugh Dent, but MT. Wiley is as
 strongly opposed to prohibition in any form as was his brother, the late Con- gressman A. A. Wiley. Up to the pres ent time no intimation has occurred that
 Congressman Taylor will be opposed. The amendment" congressman are lief lin, Burnett and Hobson. It is most prob able that neither will have opposition, although an effort is on foot to array against the latter either Gen. w. ".
 Brandon or State Senator Frank S Moody, both of Tuscaloosa.
 That the entries for congressman at large are not closed is proved in the rumor to the effect that Isaac w. Hill
 of Gadsden will formally announce his candidacy within few days and it is
 believed that in spite of his announce ment to the contrary. enough pressure will be brought to bear to force Judge F. B. Almon of Tuscumbia into the race. As to whether or not J. Fritz Thomp son of Centreville will run, there is doubt, although it is known that he is considv | ering the matter.
 The candidates at the present time are Kyle B. Price, an employe about the | capitol in Washington; John W. .Aber- | crombie, former president of the Univer- sity of Alabama; State Senator V. B. | Atkins of Selma, II. Y. Brooke, state examiner of public accounts, and Mayor Fred Wall of Athens.

J. DAVIS WANTS A WIFE

who can cook something other than yeast biscuit, of which he is tired, and beef steak. In other words, having obtained of the world, J. Davis is longing for com fort and a little luxury.
 "On Christmas morning." said J. Da- wis, T determined to go out in the world and find a wife. So l rode two days on horseback, finally reaching Heppner. where I boarded a train for the east. l made direct for Pennsylvania, and visited Philadelphia and Reading. From the lat ter place I visited Washington and points in Virginia and West Virginia. Then I rolled down to Atlanta, and after spend ing a few days there came to .Birming- ham. In each place l gave notice that l wanted a wife, not necessarily pret- ty wife, but so far have not found the lady who is willing to share with me that which by toll of many years l have col lected.
 As 1 have stated, l care little if the woman is pretty or not, want good wife who will cook and keep the house in order I will do the rest I would prefer to marry woman who has never married before. and would not voluntarily choose "a widow possessed of. children However my primary object is to find wife, and l will not return without one.'
 When asked why he did not go out
 and. press his suit as other men, he re
 piled that he had spent, the greater par of his life without the hearing of a wom ans voice. and that the gentle creatures
 ''get him up in the air as soon as h, is left alone with them.
 In Birmingham, however, MT. Davi has found several good friends. and thes will aid him in landing the desire of hi heart. All letters should be addressed t J. Davis, in care of the Metropolitan hotel. and in each the writer should talk

The "boys" at the police station were sitting around the gas stove in the detectives offive last night spinning yarns. First one topic and then an- other was told, but finally the drift of the conversation went back to that subject so dear to the heart of a police- man-marksmanship. Next to sleeping, shooting comes first under the notice of an ethical cop.
 Detective "Bil1' Burge was on hand with his usual line of stuff and rolled off some pretty good ones. He told of how old Officer Mingea used to pick lem off three and four blocks away" and how he had once bruised a negro's head with 3S Special when the latter was trying 10 escape. These were thrilIers and all listened with feyerish attention.

But the climax was capped and the meeting stood adjourned when Call Of ficer Brent got away with his at the conclusion of Tom Williams story.

 Williams was saying, Gentlemen, l have seen some good shooting in my time. I have seen fly killed on flag pole at 300 yards with .3220."
