 OYER HE TRAIL
Supplies of Government Party Are Reported Landed at tho
 Coal Fields.

Information has been receiv- ed from the westward that Ed. Wood, of the Copper River Dray- ing company, has about complet- cd the contract of packing the supplies of the government party into the Matanuska coal fields. It is believed he will have finish ed the work in time to be a re- turning passenger on the Admir- al Sampson when she comes from the westward this trip.
 MT. Wood has been using twenty-two head of horses in the work and as they are in good condition he will have them driven over the trail and avoid the heavy expense of shipping them on the steamer. The feed in the valleys at this season is at it's best, as the red top, na- tive grass, has ripened and is equal to timothy hay for feed. He has been employing four packers and it is very probable they will elect to come across country with the animals.
 II is said the work of Ed. and his packers has been a reNela- tion to the government party and is another illustration that the government makes no mistake when they secure the services of men who are acquainted with the country and know how to go about accomplishing the work.

0AYNOR DREW MORAL
 FROM BULLET WOUND

As evidence that Mayor GaynOr was constant though silent sufferer from the effects of. the wound inflicted by his would-be assassin three years ago, in re- ply to d friends inquiry after his health the mayor described the trouble as a fish hook" in the throat. In one of his char acteristic letters he said:
 My right ,lung. eumegastric nerve, and stomach have again taken it into their heads that by combined and violent effort they could succeed in castln this 'iish-hook out of my throat which that bullet lodged there. But as in their former Occasion- al attempts they are succeeding in casting everything out except the 'fish-hook' and have com ,pletely done themselves and me up in the bargain.
 "Thcsc members of my body which try to do this now and then are just as foolish as are people you and know who want something done all at once which can only be done gradually and little ,by little. But they wont have it that way. And SD they go, might and main to do it all at once by violence, with the re- suit that instead of doing it they do much harm and mischief and exhaust themselves

Grasshoppers.

Two dozen hnppers hunted grass upon a western farm; they played among the garden sass, and mid but little harm. On nimble legs each hnpped around, and winkcd the other eye, and by the farmer they were found. as he went creaking by. The farmer went to town that day, and said to Grocer Ware: 'GraSShoppers are among my hay, saw ten thousand there" The grocer quickly spread the news: "The hupperS are on deck. They ev- en eat the farmers shoes and window blinds, by heck" The printer of the Weekly Dirk did justice to the tale; he let his bub- bl(Yg fancy work, and shocked the country pale. All OCT the country went the yarn about the farmers woe'; of how the hop pers ate his barn, and laid his
 cornfields low. They swarmed around in such a cloud that they
 obscured the sun, and eastern readers swore aloud, "that coun- try takes the buln.' Two dozen hoppers on beam surveyed the country wide, and little did those
 hoppers dream how they had multiplied. A few brief hours they frolicked round, and sport ed in the hay, and filled the air with joyous sound, and then they
 flew away; and still that husky lie lived on, and travelled far and |iJear, and people said, "So help
 me John, that country's mighty quecr.'. WALT MASON.

TO CONSIDER GRADE
CROSSINGS TUESDAY
Plans Drawn By Stearnes
May Be Made Public
Then

Not until Tuesday, and probably not
then. 1t was stated yesterday, will the de-
tailed plans of the grade crossing system
which has been formulated by Special En-
gineer Stearnes be made public. The con-
ference between the city officials, includ-
ing the commissioners and the railroad
representatives, will take place Tuesday
and much interest is centered in the
event.
The commissioners do not hesitate TO
say that they expect some serious op-
position from the railroads to the plans
of the grade crossing system, and 1t is
predicted that it may be several weeks
yet, and perhaps as many months. before
the different parties to the contract can
finally agree. The details of the plan are
tentative yet however, and will be liable
tc change for just cause shown by any
party interested.
The conference Tuesday is looked upon
as the beginning of the end. At that time
fol the first time In the many years that
BIZ mingham has been struggling with the
grade crossing question a set of plans
will be in existence and the position of
every railroad in Birmingham in regard to
those plans will be known For the first
time the city officials and the railroads
will have definite basis upon which to
base negotia tions. I'VE realize the fight
is really just beginning" says Commits
sioner Weatherly, president pro ternpore,
'but good beginning is often three
fourths of the fight"

SUBURBAN SESSIONS
ARE URGED BY WARD
Thinks Commission Should
Sit Regularly in Suburbs
to Hear Complaints

George B. Ward, candidate for the
presidency of the city commission,
stated yesterday that in the event of
his election he would endeavor to bring
about a closer alliance between the
municipal government and the resi-
dents of the suburbs.
"At stated periods" said he, Il be-
lieve the city commission should visit
the suburbs in a body, hold formal ses-
sions, and invite everybody to apepar
and state grievances, or to tell what
improvements should be made, or
what reformations put into effect. The
commissioners should then inspect the
city looking for bad pavement and poor
sanitation, and the like. All of the
suburbs should be visited at regular in
tervals. In this way, the commissioners
could come in actual contact with the
suburban residents and suburban con-
ditionss
II feel the present commissioners will
agree that this proposition is a good
one. If | am elected, l will propose it
for their consideration, and feel sure
that it will be accepted

trouble and while several expensive
plans have been tried a complete rem

Some relief from the dust problem
has been had within the last few days
by the sprinkling of the street car

1t has not brought complete relief. The

and the city is sprinkling the tracks
of the Tidewater company at the cost
of the latter company until 1t secures
