 JACKSON HIGHWAY Madison, Marshall and EtO- wah to Make Hard Fight
 for Route

Madison, Marshall and Etowah coun- ties have by no means given up their fight to be selected as the official Jack son highway route through Alabama. Information reached Birmingham yes terday that W. c. Rayburn. secretary of the Marshall county association, has been advised that the official commis sion will view the proposed route through these counties the last week in October
 Huntsville, Guntersville and Gadsden claim superior advantages as the Jack son highway route. not only because the present roads are in such excellent shape for the entire distance. but also because General Jackson followed prac- tically this route in his famous march to the scene of the Indian wars.
 All three counties already have fine road systems and~ they have expressed willingness to do whatever else is nec- essarY to put their route in shape so that it will be officially designated as a link in the Jackson highway.

URGES REPUBLICAN,
 FOR ONE OF PLACES
To the Editor of The Age Herald:

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 I was pleased to note your sugges- tion this morning that we pick our best men for the new commissioner ships to be filled on the first Mon- day in December. Our present distin- guished postmaster, Col T. H. Al drich Is one of our very best men, 4-e has had great business career. He Is . scholar of ripe attainments. He is the embodiment of public spirit He is both industrious and honest He has the peoples confidence in rare de- gree, so that his addition to the board would raise that body in the public es- timation.
 And what is more. he is filling a great administrative office in way to demonstrate his exceeding fitness for the public service of Birminxham
 This Is a nonpartisan office, made so by the very letter of the law. But the fact that Colonel Aldrich Is re publican would show that We can rise high enough in sdonl to abate, our ancient prejudices and vote with an eye single to the interests of the city.

Over 300 delegates coming as repre- sentatives of nearly 50 of the counties of the state registered yesterday morn teenth annual convention of the Ala bama Good Roads association. The at tendance broke all records.
 Owing to the large number of dele gates and interested visitors it was found that the auditorium of the Cham Der of Commerce was inadequate to handle comfortably the crowd and President John Craft ordered the meet ing adjourned at 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon in order that the delegates and friends might make trip to the State Fair and incidentally enjoy the Salmy fall afternoon.
 The excursion to the fair caused a postponement of the regular afternoon programme but this was taken up last night at 1880 o'clock at the Newspaper club when the business of the day was concluded, after which a delightful musical and cabaret programme was given to the good roads enthusiasts. Among the well known political fig ures who spoke last night were United | Congressmen F. I. Blackmon and E. B. Almon. On technical matters regarding the betterment of roads the following g speakers were heard: John w. Sibley, on Brick Roads," L. A. Young, on Cement Roads," Howard Seay. on Views of Culverts From Road Drain age" and T. H. Reed. on Views and Description of Asphalt Pavement for Cities and Counties" There were also several other impromptu talks.
 Surprised at Attendance
 One of the surprises of the conven- ton, according to J. A. Rountree, sec sociation. is the unusually large at tendance at the present annual meet ing.
 "The farmers are awakening to the economic rewards of good roads" said he. land the impetus the movement will receive from the present convention means much to the state at large. It will also mean that men friendly to the cause of good roads will be elected at future legislatures Men who will be immune from insiduous influences"
 The good roads delegates practically owned the city yesterday. Badges on both lapels of their coats and with gay smiles they motcred through the down town and residential sections of the city and at the State Fair the occa- sion was festive one.
 At the Newspaper club last night with the delightful entertainment pro- vided by Secretary Dameron the dele gates ended the day. That they were pleased and that Birmingham had roy ally entertained them was their en- thusiastic opinion.
 At promptly o'clock yesterday morning hundreds of the delegates arr rived at the Chamber of Commerce building and immediately thereafter the registration began. Early in the day it was seen that all attendance records of good roads conventions would be broken,

COUNTY ASSESSMENT
is A LITTLE LOWER.
Returns Filed With County Clerk In
dictate Decrease of $29,49S From
Last Years Figures.

According to the official returns
filed in the county clerks Office, there
is a decrease in the total assessment
of Iron county for 1915, as compared
with the previous year, of 29,49S. The
total assessed value, according to the
assessors returns, is $2,7S3,5S1 for
the current year and $2,s1S,07s for
1914. For 1913, the assessed value
was STATS, 205, and the increase,
though gradual, has been steady for
a number of years.
The reason ascribed by the county
clerk for the decrease is change of
officials, it being found that it takes
an assessor two or three years TO get
onto the ropes so that he cannot
be imposed upon.
Based upon the above assessment
for this year and on last years lew
les, the people will have about $110,-
600 to raise for taxes alone this fall.

National AeropIane Competition.

To revive popular interest in avia-
ton, stimulate domestic manufacture
ers and fiiers and assist the War and
Navy departments in developing aer-
ial corps for the National Guard and
Naval Malta, national aeroplane
competition of broad scope is to be
held throughout the present summer.
The purpose of this undertaking is
purely constructive one. It is not a
wholesale amusement propaganda, but
serious attempt to encourage sane
flying and impress upon the people Of
America, the parent country Of avia-
ton, the real value of air craft in
contrast to the county-fair uses with
which they are most familiar.
This aeronautical meet is being pro-
NOTED by the Aero Club of America,
backed by the various state and city
clubs, as well as commercial organi-
cations in different parts of the Unit
ed States. The contest started July
4th and will end on Columbus Day,
October IL, giving more than three
months of commercial flying in all
parts Of the country, something hith-
erto unknown on this continent. Ten
tative plans and the rules as now
drawn are solely in the interest OF
normal flying by regular airmen. The
conditions Of the competition are such
that no encouragement is given spec.
tacular or foolhardy work, but oppor-
sunity afforded for worthwhile a
chievements.-From the July Popular
Mechanics Magazine.

ONLY HALF TOLD 1T.


From our article Of last week, In
which reference was made to the large
pump we'll of MILFORD Day, the in
ference might be drawn that Mr.. Day
had only the one pump well specific
ally mentioned. AS matter of fact,
this is new well being operated for
the first time this season, while his
older and smaller plant located three
quarters Of a mile farther north, has
been working away for three seasons
without a serious hitch or accident.
This we'll is equipped with six h. p.
gasoline engine, the water rising to
near the surface. His phenomenal
success with this well induced him TO
put down the big well referred to last
week, which is down 4S0 feet, taking
in all the important strata of water
encountered, and equipped with a 20
h. p. Fairbanks Morse oil engine
which consumes very low grade OF
petroleum, worth in car lots at Lund
only about cents per gallon. When
arrangements have been made for i'm
porting this kind Of fuel in car lots
Mr.. Day expects to be able to operate
his we'll at very low cost.
Mr.. Day is one of the pioneers In
the pumping business of the Parowar
valley, and has done great deal u
develop this important industry II
