Most Dangerous Point in City

I personally dHl or tue OplHlOu lHdl Twentieth street Is the most dangerous point in Birmingham. First avenue and Twenty eighth street not excepted There is five or ten times much traffic across Twentieth street as any place in Brming- ham and 1t will only be a question of q short time until collision. killing perhaps many citizens, will cause us to curse the day when we allowed that situation to re- main unsoved. In Europe they will not tolerate such grade danger. I am in favor of allowing the railroads plenty of time to arrange yiaduct situation for the whole city, but the dangerous crossings that now exist should be remedied with out any delay.
 Although d variety of opinions exist here as to the recent Survey articles. some for and against that method of ad- vertisement, there cannot be gainsald the fact that the two cuts in the Survey show ing Twentieth street absolutely blocked with trains was an illustration of civic condition that will bring a gasp of horror to a vast number of non-residents of this state They may well gasp for I daresa / no city's most prominent thoroughfare IS so utterly cut in twain.
 Look there now" exclaimed MT. Kettig as he chatted with reporter. Two freight trains and passenger train with in 100 feet of each other. Four fagmen standing out in the center of things Six street cars filled with persons standing waiting. Five automobiles, 15 wagons and 15 drivers wasting time. Why that cross ing costs Birmingham people in lost time alone an immense amount of money every year"
 Where ct Should Begin
 q believe" continued MT Kettig, as he pointed toward the Southside, that viaduct could be constructed to rise about the center of the block between First avenue and Morris ave nue. clear that network of tracks and land about the center of the block be- tween Avenue A and Avenue E with out inficting great damages to any business interests over there I am of the opinion that Crane company would not seek any damages from such q scheme. The yiaduct should only be- gin when the railroads have lowered their tracks at least seven feet A via . duct seven feet highev .han the street level would give about II feet clear for all trains. I am convinced that such height would he ample to pro tect all trains. In connection with the alleged damages to adjacent property owners, I believe the railroad company and the property owners could afford to get together on the question.
 "The viaduct Is simply a matter ot engineering which I believe is easy to handle. The city commissioners are doubtless acting wisely and well wher they undertake to map out clear and
 
 munity. However, I believe that they should solve Twentieth street and Firs avenue dangers at once which wil serve to better conditions so decidedl, that the citizens will allow the rail roads ample time on the other danger ous crossings. There should not b a grade crossing within the city linn

  it's of Birmingham and we will not be the city nature designed HE for until such situation has been corrected and the safe crossing arranged.
 "I do not believe that the Twenty first street bridge should ever be dis turbed with street car lines. Every bridge we have now Is so used by the car company and at least one should. l think, be left for the exclu- sive use of the people.
 | duct system will mean time and money but. l fail to see any greater propo- sition for our commissioners to solve than the viaduct evils of Birming- ham,"
 Constant Interruptions
 The expressions of MT. Kettig fol- lowed after the dangers on Twentieth street in question had been observed from Parker's corner for some sev- eral minutes. Every short while train would come clustering by and block the crossing. holding street ears. au- tomobiles. pedestrians and wagons for several minutes At night 1t is stated that 1t Is rare thing for street car to be uninterrupted in crossin E there. If 1t is not one train it is an- other. one switch engine is said tc be responsible for more annoyance al | that crossing than almost any other ! source. At night it Is extremely haz- ardous, 1t Is said, to travel over tha' | crossing. ! The railroad executive agents In Bir mingham have not as%yet received any word from the executive nonresident to take up the vladuct questions al [ suggested by Commissioner Weatherl. in his note sent out some time ago.

COUNTY OF DAWSON
Is TEDDY'S
FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL
HASKELL, sTANoPATTER, Ap.
MiTs COLONEL WILL WIN.

Glendive. Aug. Sl.-- Especial )-Henrf
j. Haskell, former attorney general Of
Montana, who has had his finger on
the political pulse of Dawson county
for more than quarter of d century,
now prophesies that Roosevelt will
sweep this county. polling at least 60
per cent of the total vote cast.
This prediction is especially slgnifi-
cant because General Haskell Is or
posed to Roosevelt personally and tn
the platform of the progressive party,
and has elected to remain within tho
old republican organization.
Another view of the political situ
alton on wider scope is given by one
OF GlendiVe's hest-known and most
conservative business men, George D.
Hollecker. who has just returned from
an eastern purchasing trip for his big
store In this city.
1T is almost impossible to find any
Taft sentiment said Mr. Hollccker in
reply to a question. Roosevelt seuti-
ment seems to predominate i'm Illinois
and Minnesota. and / have no doubt
he will carry those states hv big ma
jorities."
Similar statements come to Frank G.
Hughes from his brother. George
Hughes, president of the Hughes Elec-
trio Heating company of Chicago. He
says he has just returned from a New
York trip, and having carefullv sized
up the situation. he expresses the hc-
lief that Roosevelt will sweep the

Once they came face to face, one
thickness of wires only between
them. The leopard turned, snarl-

One turn-they were carried

right passage. He might yet win
freedom without meeting the.
leopard. But suddenly he per-
ceived with horror that the path
he was following ended in blind.

was close upon him.
He began to run, painting. The
leopard, purring heavily, was
Eoping parallel with him. They
would meet face to face. No! A
sudden opening on the lett, and

wan of meShes between them.

his brain. Was the leopard real
