 tions to Be Ready Soon

The double track between Meridian and Russell on the Alabama Great Southern railroad has been placed in service, &C., cording to an announcement yesterday.

It is stated that the other sections of the double track will be placed in service just a soon as the contractors finish the work.
 The Alabama Great Southern about one year ago announced a plan of betterments which included the double tracking of the line in several sections and the work has been pushed forward vigorously since the beginning. It is stated that the contrac- tors hope to finish the remainder of the work in a very fast schedule.
 The new track will enable the Alabama Great Southern to increase operations to very marked extent. When the present schedule is completed it IS believed that other announcements will be made as to double track plans of other divisions of the Queen and Crescent railroad.

A. Young, an engineer of the American Association of Portland Cement manufacturers and a national ex- pert on road construction Mir Young is an expert on the Dixie highway. it is said. having given the undertaking much study
 The route of the highway is to be de- termined at a meeting of governors of the several states, including Governor Dunne of Illinois, at Chattanooga next Saturday, April 3, and it is reported that strong pressure will be brought to nave the route made from Chattanooga throgh Atlanta, leaving out Birmingham. MT. Young, 1t is stated strongly favors Bir- mingham and will endeavor to arouse the interest of local people in working to have the route made from Chattanooga to Birmingham and then to Atlanta if de- sirable.
 There will be much advertising to be se cured out of having sthe highway go through this city, it is said and besides it will mean that automobile tourists from the north will naturally pass through this way in large numbers The Lincoln High way, which has been agitated for some time, will be a link in the Dixie highway. if the latter should be routed through Birmingham.
 It is stated that on account of the many miles of good roads already existing from Birmingham north via Springville and on toward Chattanooga and other stretches of road already constructed leading out of Birmingham in all directions, that the routing of the highway through this city would encounter few difficulties other than competition of other cities which are interested for themselves

 VISIT CLEVELAND Plan to Return Visit of Civic Chamber Members
 From Ohio

 "Gentlemen: It Is now about year since our board experienced one of the most pleasant events of its history, when a party of it's members became your guests on Wednesday, February 25, 1914.
 Tt is with sincere regret, however, that we observe that we have not in the mean time had an opportunity to enjoy the pleasure of visit from you in Cleveland; lo ehtertdii your peoPic as uur BueStS. With this in view may 1 call attention to the fact that our beautiful city ap- pears at it's best in the spring and early summer. in May and June. and we should be glad indeed to have you organize a party and come to see us during these months Should it be impossible at that time, the next most delightful period in this climate is in the early fall.
 May I not report to our members that you have in mind to visit us in the near future. and may I assure you that if you do we shall extend to you a most hearty andfcordial welcome? Very respectfully.

CONVICT KILLED
Man in Jail at Blackfoot Killed by
Deputy Sheriff.

Blackfoot, June lid. S. Streeter,
who was captured by Bonneville coun-
ty officers some time ago and who was
sentenced to the Idaho penitentiary for
horse stealing, was shot and killed
here last night by Deputy Sheriff
Thompson. Travelling Guard Daniel
son of the Idaho penitentiary was here
to take Streeter and another man to
the pen, and was to leave on train No.
2, early this morning. About o'clock
last night Thompson went to the coun-
ty Jail to lock the two men up for the
night. AS he was entering the cell the
other man grabbed him, pinning his
arms to his body, and Streeter hit the
deputy over the head with a milk bot
tie. Thompson succeeded, however, in
jerking loose and shot Streeter, killing
him instantly. The other man was
then backed into the cell and locked
up.
Streeter, who stole ten horses some
time ago near Mackay, was captured
about three weeks ago by Officers Obey
and Rushton in the foothills fourteen
miles east of Idaho Falls He was
caught away from his camp and off
his guard He was known to be bad
man and had served five-year SEN
tence for grand larceny in the Idaho
pen before. At the time he was cap
tured by the local officers he made
the remark that If he had been in his
camp there would have been an artil-
lery battle before he would have been
captured.-Ida Falls Post.
