OFFICIALS GATHER IN BIRMINGHAM FOR
 NEW ORLEANS TRIP
President Harrison and Others Leave Today to Take Over New Orleans
 and Northeastern

A galaxy of railroad notables was fn Birmingham yesterday.
 Fairfax Harrison, president of the Southern railroad, arrived in the city on his private Car at midnight and will leave at o'clock this morning for New Or leans. With him was T. c. Powell, vice president of the Queen and Crescent sys- tenn.
 P. H. Coapman, vice president of the Southern railroad, was in Birmingham for several hours yesterday, as were Hor- ace Baker, general manager. and Curtis Dougherty, chief engineer of the Queen and Crescent system
 EXPECT STATEMENT The whole host of officials will leave on special train this morning for New Orleans. where they will be present when the properties of the New Orleans and Northeastern railroad are officially trans ferred to the Southern railroad. From that point it Is understood that Presi- dent Harrison will Issue several state ments in regard to the new management of the New Orleans and Northeastern that will be of especial interest to the Bir- mingham district.
 Chief Engineer DOugnerty Is on the ground for the purpose of inspecting the | physical properties of the New Orleans i and Northeastern It is understood that l the railroad is short on motive power and that one of the first moves made after the acquisition of the line will be to equip it with number of high-grade locomotives. The Queen and Crescent l lines have been double-tracked from Gin 1 cinnati to Meridian The New Orleans and Northeastern line begins at Meridian and 1t is said that, in keeping with the policy of the Southern railroad to better | it's properties, the tracks from Meridian ! to New Orleans will be double-trac1ed- BETTER SCHEDULES | If this prophecy Is fulfilled the schedule I between Birmingham and New Orleans will be materially improved. At the pres | ent time it takes over Il hours to go from Birmingham to New Orleans. a distance of 355 miles. This could be reduced easily. in the opinion of prominent railroad of ficialS.
 The headquarters of the New Orleans and Northeastern are to remain in New Orleans. It develops that this line has long term lease a big office build ing in New Orleans. If the headquarters were changed, the railroad would have to pay a heavy tax in rent.
 The properties of the New Orleans and Northeastern will be improved materially by the new owners, according to the in- formation in Birmingham railroad circles.

 Some Good Work for
 Nitrate Plant

Mrs. c. H. Mathis, Alabama's leading woman farmer and booster of the south in general. passed through Birmingham yes terday, en route to South Carolina, where she will spend next week working for the nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals.
 At Chicago at the recent conference on marketing and rural credits, Mrs. Mathis caused quite a furry before the large and representative gathering by an swering a paper read before the meeting slandering the south in general. The south was very poorly represented at the gathering, and for this reason the burden Of its defense rested upon the shoulders of the only practical farm representative of the south in attendance.
 Mrs. Mathis says the south has been very lack in having the proper represen- tatives before all large gatherings dis cussing topics of vital importance to southern people. The paper referred to above was read by resident of Tennes- see, and such was its contents that it required answering on the spot before the same body that had heard the other side discussed. After trying to get sew eral southern demonstration agents to make reply and being unsuccessful, Mrs. Mathis was granted the floor for 15 min

aas.l August ssved1und, who en-
listed as a private in the North Da-
.kota national guard at Grand Forks
last year for service on the Mexican
border, arrived in the city last Sat-
urday morning with the intention of
proceeding to Alvarado to visit his
uncles, Henry and John Svedlund,
besides many friends. AS the 500
train was snow bound he had to re-
main here until Monday morning.
Mr.. Svedlund says that the expe-
rience gained in the service has
been a valuable school to him. Evi-
IDENTIFY he made good soldier as he
was promoted to the position of cor
poral for his efficiency. After visit
ing ats Alvarado for short time he
intends to go to live on his home
stead south Of Baudette, but will al
ways be ready to return to the SER

FIRE DESTROYS
NEWSPAPER OFFICE
Red Lake Falls Gazette Loses its
Entire plant.-Loss $4,000.

Early last Thursday morning the
printing plant of the Red Lake Falls
Gazette was destroyed by fire which
had started from an unknown cause
in the pool hall in the Schreiter
building. The whole plant, including
a new $4,000 linotype and files of
the paper since 1888, was destroyed,
the only thing saved being the sub
scription list and the books of ac-
counts. The financial statement and
delinquent tax lists for the county
had been set up and were ready to
run in that weeks paper. This
work must now be done all over
again. The loss on plant is over
$4,000 with $4,000 insurance. The
Sheaf having once suffered such a
misfortune knows how to sympathize
with the publishers, Christie & Cut
ten, who had lately purchased the
paper. The enterprising publishers
have already made arrangements for
a. new outfit.
Owing to lack of water in the
water tower the fire department was
crippled in its work fighting the fire.
