Valdez daily prospector., 1917-12-06

A LOCAL merchant recently told us of one party in Valdez who had three sacks of sugar stored and was trying to buy more. This is the kind of man who makes it hard for the bal ance of us,and who is responsible for the appointment of food commis- sion. The government should confs- cate ths sugar and apportion it out to the balance of the community. In a time like this such piggishness Is dangerous to the welfare of the coun- try. And a merchant with the wei fare of the nation at heart should refuse to sell a man more than his share

SHOWS POWER OF PUBLICITY
Uncle Sam, by Educational Campaign,
Creates Demand for Grayfish Ten.
I s'' fold Greater Than Supply.


Uncle Sam has given Il demonstra-
ton Of the power Of publicity. A year
or more ago the department of COM
merce undertook to create Il market
for the gray1ish by means of il cam
paign Of education carried on through
the newspapers Of the country. At
that time there was no demand for
this fish, which was not regarded as
Of any value as food. Now Secretary
Redfield announces that the packers
Of graytish estimate that the present
demand is tenfold the available sup
ply.
The avidity with which the retail
trade and the public have absorbed
the original pack has stimulated wide
interest among packers, and the bu-
reau Of fisheries is receiving inquiries
from cannery men from New England
to Florida and from Alaska to Ore
gon. A number of these inquirers are
making experiments to test their meth
DDS, and some Of them have expressed
their intention to pack the fish In
commercial quantities as soon as ar.
rangements can be made. !

True Age Of Man.

How old is man? Measured in years
no one knows. But he is as old as
thought, as mind. When mans ances.
tor first began to think, that day ni.n
was. born. As man has progressed in
the last million years. or haif-million,
20 we may hope he will progress in the
next half-million or million, and the
tire may vet come when, as a great
scientist has said, he will stand upon
this earth and touch the remotest
stars. --

Queer ideas About Snakes.

The people Of Uruguay have some
queer ideas and superstitions.s One
S that, if one throws live snake into
a fire, it will stick out its legs which
it keeps concealed under it's scales.
This idea probably arose from the
scales sticking outward as the snake
felt the heat. Another idea is that for
every snake one kills during Easter
week one is let off year in purga.

FEW CHANGES MADE
 IN 1917 SCHEDULE
Licenses Charged Automobile Busi- ness Principal Feature of the
 New Rates

The 1917 license schedule, as announced by the commission in this morning s Age-Herald, is substantially the same as that of 1916 There have been a few slight advances in the amount charged certain companies to operate, but these are not numerous.
 The outstanding feature of the schedule is the creation of new licenses, taxing the automobile business. Hitherto the automobile agents and garage owners were not subjected to city licenses. This year the commission has imposed an annual license on automobile agents and dealers, graduated according to volume of business ranging from $50 to $35O. A license of $50 will be required of each garage Automobile repair shops will be subjected to a charge ranging from $50 to $25O. Dealers in tires and access sories must pay in licenses with $50 as a minimum and $350 as maximum. When the annual gross business is less than s50O0, charge of $50 is made. When it exceeds s10O,OOo, the city will exact li- cense charge of s35o
 A new section has been added to cover dealers in motorcycle tires also.
 The 1917 schedule is printed in full in The Age-Herald.

NO CONFERENCE HELD ON HEALTH SITUATION
City Commissioners Spend Quiet Day. President Ward Meets Insur-
 ance Men

The day passed without event at the city hall
 The expected conference on the health situation was not had, and do date was set for the discussion that was precipi- tated by Commissioner Barber's desire to have the board take action on the rendered resignation of pr. Cecil Gaston as city health officer
 President Ward received a few repre- sentatives of companies who wanted to have an understanding about the license schedule for 1917. He has under con sderaton the proposal of some fire in surance agents, who want readjustment of the distribution of insurance cover ing the property of the city.
 Commissioner Hornady conferred with several interested in the approaching school tax election and entered into a discussion of how best the desired object can be attained
 The other commissioners were busy throughout the day with minor affairs relating to their departments.
 There is nothing of great moment scheduled to come up Tor consideration today.

FREIGHT EMBARGO
 BEING FELT HERE
Action of Eastern and Northern Rail- roads Hurts Southern
 Shippers

Birmingham exporters and shippers to northern points are in hara ssing pre- dicament.
 Eastern and northern railroads, by vir- tue of having placed embargoes against movements of freight to certain points, have the southern shippers at their mercy. During the past 60 days, these railroads, for the reason that they can not handle business consigned for va rious points on account of congestion ex- isting there, have levied embargoes against all commodities.
 The embargo has now reached stage where certain railroads will not accept shipments to points north of Louisville and Cincinnati. This situation has crip- pied the iron exporters in the Birming- ham district and the producers of other commodities have suffered from these railroad practices.
 At the eastern ports the railroads state that they cannot handle the business of fered on account of congested condi- tions. There is a dearth of bottoms to handle the export trade and the railroads are not in position to store the com modities.

HUMANE SOCIETY
 ELECTS OFFICERS Reports of Officers at An nual Meeting Show Much
 Work for Year

Officers and directors of the Birming- ham Humane society were elected at the annual meeting held in the council cham Der at the city hall and the reports of the past officers were made. The report of the president Mrs. w. N. Wood, in- cluded a detailed statement of the work accomplished by the society for the year 1916, showing much activity on the part of the society. There were 534 cases of cruelty to children and animals investi- gated and properly cared for, 237 cases where warnings were given and some cases held up pending investigation.
 In reference to a city humane officer Mrs. Wood presented the proposal of Commissioner Barber to allow $40, mo- torcycle and it's upkeep, toward the monthly salary of a humane officer, the society to donate the other $50 The matter was taken under consideration.
 Election of officers resulted as follows:
 Mrs. William N. Wood, president; Mrs. Nixon Norris, first vice president Isa- dore Shapiro, second vice president; Mrs. B. L. Guice, third vice president; William N. Wood, secretary; Miss Nellie Castle man, recording secretary; Al c. Garner, treasurer. Directors. Maj. E. M. Iut- wiler. pr. J. H. Phillips, Mrs. D. A. Echols Miss A. Ruter, Samuel Ullman. Mrs H. A.

Tie society expressed its app eciation to the board of revenue for it's co-opera- ton and the employment of county health officer who had proved of invai- uable assistance in carrying-out the work of the organization.
 The report of the treasurer showed receipts of s667 .23, disbursements s652.S2, leaving a balance in the working fund of $14.4.
 The urgent need for the humane so- ciety and the vast amount of work which It is doing and is constantly called upon to do was amply shown in the detailed report. The society has assisted not only in the enforcement of the humane laws as regards animals, but has played conspicuous part in protecting children and in aiding the charitable organiza- tions of the city.

TO CONTINUE WORK
 AT FLAT CREEK WELL
Oil and Gas Company to Lower Drill ing to Hartselle Sandstone at
 1900 Foot Level

The Saquatchie oil and Gas company which recently struck water at the 1200- foot level at Flat Creek has decided to go down to the Hartselle sandstone at the 17O0 or 18O0-foot level. according to Fremont c. Finch, who returned to Bir- nilg gham from the company's operations last night.
 We have lowered the casing to the bottom of our we'll and shut off the water" said MT. Finch, and will go down to about 1900 feet to the Hartselle sand which has very rich oil prospects. We struck gas and signs of oil at the 1200-foot level, and have been trying to cut off the water in such way as to save the gas The wall was so shattered, how ever, that we couldn't do 1t.
 Just as soon as we get down to the lower level in this well we will start on another well in order to test out thor oughly the sand of the upper or 1200- foot level, in which we had the bad luck to strike big flow of water
 Mir Finch said he had heard no news from the Cordova field yesterday.
