 Birmingham is certainly great town" said MT Shoop. q am inter- ested in observing the growth of this city; you may depend upon it, we are watching you carefully.

Trip to Shades Mountain

In the machines of Robert Jemson, ST.,
 Mir Crawford and others the party went over to Shades mountain, and an fnspec-
 ton was made of the Edgewood line that
 reaches to the foot of the mountain and
 which, it is said, will be constructed to the top and toward the hotel within a
 reasonable length of time. In connection
 with that proposed extension it is said
 that the officials were informed that
 Shades mountain Is well situated to be- come fashionable suburban section Of
 Birmingham, that even now the traffic
 will maintain street car line, and that
 the people in that section who own prop
 critics and are trying to upbuild that sec-
 tion will joint heartily in the movement
 to extend the street car line along the
 top of the mountain. The officials were
 enthusiastic over the beautiful landscapes
 that are to be observed in that section,
 and commented upon the splendid scenic
 effects on the trip to the mountain The officials returned from the trip to Shades mountain thoroughly delighted with that part of Birmingham which many
 of them had never seen. and many were of the opinion that an extension In that
 direction would be profitable and pro- gressive proposition.

 "The meeting here today is purely in reference to financial details,' said MT. Bullock.
