One of these frocks is made of burgundy

are in one piece. The under arm seam is
so little curved that waist and sleeve

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow.

In 1901 Vancouver, B. c., had only
$4,000 Inhabitants. With its suburbs It
has now $4,000. But it is at this mo-
ment engaged in revising its list OF
voters. The list under revision con-
tains some 10000 names and from 1t
no less than 5000 are to be removed
as no longer resident.
If the last revision occurred three
years ago this means that every year
one-tenth Of its voters leave Vancou-
yer. AS the larger proportion Of its
floating population cannot consist OF
voters this would imply that during
the last ten years some 100000 people
have spent some time In Vancouver,
and of them nearly half have declined
to settle there.
Some Of course have gone to other
parts of the province, but It seems
more than probable that the greater
number have crossed the border to

FIGHT WILL Be MADE
ON EXPRESS RATES
Birmingham Men Will Lay
Proposition Before the
Commerce Commission

To take up a fight against some Of the
express rates maintained into Birming-
ham by certain railroads, the transporta-
ton committee of the board of trade
division of the Chamber of Commerce
held a meeting at chamber headquarters
yesterday. 1t Is stated that the rate from
New York to Birmingham at the present
time is s4.75 a hundred pounds, which is
much higher than for certain other cities
in similar locations from New York.
The merchants of Memphis are now con-
Quoting a fight on these same rates be-
fore the interstate commerce commission
in Washington. The Memphis men were
offered a reduction of 80 cents by the
railroads, it is claimed, if they would not
take the matter before the commission.
They refused to compromise, however, and
are ns,w engaged in.fighting out the propo-
sition before the national board
Birmingham merchants plan to do the
same thing. 1t Is probable that a commit
tee of local men and one or two local at
torneys will go to Washington within the
next few days to lay the Birmingham
proposition before the interstate commerce
commission. Some of the local merchants
and business men, especially the dry goods
merchants, are especially affected by this
rate, and they intend to do everything in
their power to get 1t decreased at least
on a par with that maintained In other

bearing securities must be carried further.
Nearly all high grade railroad bonds
were affected. the per cent issues espe-
eially so.
Heavy selling of the new Baltimore and
Ohio convertibles, following the dissolu-
tion of the underwriting syndicate and
weakness of Pennsylvania shares when
an offering of si5.0O0,000 of new stock
to present holders at par was announced,
emphasized the lesson.
1n London underwriting syndicates are
left with large proportions of unsold is
sues on their hands.
In Paris sale of new government
railroad bonds calls for a readjustment
of prices of other high grade bonds sim
liar to that in New York The condi-
ton, therefore, may be called world wide.
1t is evident that the necessities of for
elgn markets even in the event of as
sured European peace are making such
requisition upon capital resources as to
force high rates for their employment,
either there, or here. Failing off in
American exports of cotton and food
stuffs is serving also to impair this coun-
try's command of banking credits abroad.
Slowing down of business activity is
proved by various indications. March de-
liveries of copper, however, made a new
monthly record. The governments crop
report has high condition figure for
winter wheat. The stock market with
whatever warrant. regards the tariff bill
as basis for compromise on some rates
and fears a lengthy struggle and uncer-
tainty. The coming conference over east
ern railroad trainmen's demands, with
the firemen's arbitration still in prog
ress. suggests disturbing possibilities. The
Union Pacific dissolution problem remains
cause of some anxiety. vi

CIVIC CHAMBER
DINNER APRIL 10
Indicated Nearly 200 Will
Attend-Denny and Per-
kins Among the Guests

1t is probable that many of the rail-
road officials who, on account of the
foods. could not have been able to at
tend the annual dinner of the Chamber OF
Commerce April II, can now do so since
the date has been changed to April 10.
Secretary w. C. Radcliffe of the Cham
ber of Commerce stated yesterday that
he had received over a hundred accept
ances and indications were that there
would be anywhere from $50 to 200 in
at the Hotel Hillman on the
night of the banquet next Saturday.
President George IL Denny of the Uni
versity of Alabama and George w. Per-
kins, financier and politician of New
York, will be the two speakers at the
banquet AS is known the banquet was
postponed until April II, due to Mr..
Perkins inability to attend on account
of the death of ]. Pierpont Morgan, his
close friend and former associate in busi-
ness.
MrPerlxins is expected to arrive in
Birmingham Friday night or Saturday
morning, and a plan of entertainment
will be worked out within the next few
days. if he can do SO. The annual din
ner, of which the one next Saturday
night is the first, is to be made reg
ular feature of the Chamber of CGm-
merce, and some man of national polit-
ical or industrial prominence, as Mr..
Perkins, will be guests of honor on each
occasion. The banquet is to be held in
the banquet room of the Hotel Hillman,
being changed from the Country club.
where it was first planned to hold it. 1t
begins at 1880 o'clock in order that the
elderly men who attend may not be kept
up too late. All members of the cham
ber who contemplate attending and have
not sent in their acceptances, sAIr. Rad
cliffe states, should do so at once SO
that arrangements may be perfected in
ample time.
Solon Jacobs Is chairman of the cham
ber entertainment committee, which has
the banquet in charge. All indications
now are that it will be tremendous suc-
cess.
