MAN CAUSES POST.
 PONENIENT ALPINE HIKE

Man proposes and the weather man defeats all his plans. Tonight was the time set for the Alpine cluh hike to Sturgill's wood camp via Lower Lake Dewey and down the Dewey creek to Elks falls returning via the bluff and ore bunker trail.
 It is not to be. At late hour this afternoon, Fred Pedersen, guide for the trip phoned that he be- lieved that the weather was so cold and windy that it would be un- pleasant to make the trip and that the main feature of the trip would be spoiled, by reason of the low han ing clouds which would shut off the splendid views which are to be had from certain promontories along the line of hike.
 Mir. PeGerSen has asked the per mission of the Executive Committee of the Alpine Club to post pone the hike until Tuesday, June IS and when the matter was laid before the committee the request was granted.

Alameda Makes Late Day
 Record

Three days, one hour and two minutes after she blew her cast off whistle In Seattle, the big steam CT Alameda, with Captain Klinger % the bridge tied up at the wharf in Skagway this morning. This was at 10.15 o'clock. AS a matter of fact the ship cleared from Seattle at 1O:13 last Saturday, but the change in time puts her back one hour. .~. 2
 This is probably Q record trip for an American boat, but some of the old timers think that the City of Seattle may have cut this time down some in the early days when she was in her prime, and did not have as many ports of call as the Alameda made on this last trip.
 She has nearly 175 passengers, all of whom with the exception of one dozen, are bound for westward ports. .
 Eight of the passengers are round trippers who will return from An chorage. ..
 She has 15O tons of freight for this port and a large cargo for the westward!

MEN, WOMEN
 AND THINGS
fContinued from Parc Four,

tCOntinued from Page FOur) If it never really happened here, it did in Paris. I just wanted to claim that Birmingham once in her life got ahead of Paris.
 I think, however, the thing the saboters take the most pride in is in getting She builders into trouble They go into ec- stasy over six-story building, in which it was found that the chimneys would not draw, because the brcklayer had been too liberal with his mortar and stopped up close passages. It tickles them to death to have masons set the wrong stones, for bricklayers to use poor nor tar, for painters to dilute the paint, for bakers to oil their ovens, for printers to pi the type. ink the jobs. binders to bind up wrong pages in books, and scores of other devitries.
 I am nov. tired of sabotage. My wish is that we may be spared from 1t in this district. though I have been told that right here in Birmingham individuals and firms have been saboted. I hope that if there are any getting on ny track they will wear their sabots. for by their fuss will know them and try and make a get away.

Union Cotton Oil Company Will Not Lose License, But
 May Have to Pay Fine

Washington. D. C., March 1s.-&Spe- cial. )--Following the explanation. of K A. Ivy and George Biinn, vice presl- dent and secretary-treasurer of the Union Cotton oil company of Birmps- ham. the belief holds that the food administration will not cancel the li- ccnse of that company.
 The charge of the administration was that the company had paid prices for cottonseed and other products tn excess of government regulations. MT. H.inn explained that if the law had been violated 1t was only in techni- cal sense. and then as 8 result of is' norance of the details of the law.
 Senators Bankhead and Underwood accompanied a1r. Blinn and MT. Ivy to tEt offices of the administration. and following the interview the former expressed conviction that the license of the firm would no, be cancelled. lie thinks 1t probable. however. that a fine will be imposed. All fines paid for violation of food control resula- 'ticns go to the funds of the Red Cross.
