this department has been largely JUS
titled by the showing made in the re-
cent report of the state treasurer
which showed net earnings of about
$4O0, 900 from that department in addi-
tion to improvements and land pur-
chased. Mr.. Greer says that the report
in jefferson county that Birmingham

President Taft would be a fool to
veto the Webb anti-shipping bill, ac-

who said in an interview here Fri

Or. Crumpton says that there are
indications that an attempt will be
made at the next session of the Ala

measure to stop blind tigering" but
he believes the effort will fail He
says the Webb bill can be made ef-
fective.

by hydrophobia from mad dog bites.
Both animals are said to have be-

people around the mill and creating
considerable excitement until they
were killed.
The guinea glide" resembles an

Of ROAD
OPINIONS IN STATE OFFICES
FAVOR OPERATING CHIEF
AS NEXT PRESIDENT.

There Is much speculation among
Northern Pacific officials and EN-
ployes in all of the offices of the
state concerning the successor to
Howard Elliott as president of the
road. In the local offices favor IS
divided about equally between julie"
Hannaford, second vice president, and
George =. Slade, who is in charge of
the operating department At other
terminal points in the state Slade,
however, seems to be most spoken OF
for the position. Officials in Butte,
Livingston and Billings, who are in
a position to give an opinion with
some weight, believe that Slade is
the right man for the place.
He il wen acquainted in Montana
and is practically a western man. His
railroad career began 20 years ago
when, after graduating from college,
he started as yardmaster From tnat
position he rose to roadmaster, sup
erintendent and third vice president
and is now in charge of the operating
department He is Young man, but
SO years old, and this is one reason
WHY he Is considered most likely.
Mr.. Hannaford has been with the
Northern Pacific for 40 years. He is
popular, capable and well acquainted
with conditions on the road from st
Paul to Seattle.
All along the road there is nothing
but regret expressed at the news or
Mr.. Ellott's resignation, He was very
close to all his employees and the pub
lie and this spirit of democracy is
given as the main reason for his great
popularity.

This is but one of the many interesting
cases Of the antiquity Of modern inven-

but nevertheless true, that more than
1900 years ago Egyptian priests were

Nationality and Heads.
From the Strand.

From the Strano
The study of heads reveals some in
teresting facts. One is that the left
side of the head is almost always
larger than the right, due, it is said. to
the universal practice Of using the
right hand more than the left. An
other curious point is that nationality
considerably affects the shape of the
head. 1t would surely be an interest
ing subject for a biologist to explain
why it is that the nearer the equator a
race resides the rounder their heads
become. No one needs reminding OF the
round, bullet shaped skull of the negro.
