VOTE UNANIMOUS

The vote of the City Commission was unanimous for the ordinance. Dr. Bar rett stated that the ordinance was drawn by Forney Johnston. who Is an expert in that line, and that he was sure the interests of the city are fully protected.
 Commissioner Brown. under whose department the gas question comes, has been working unceasingly for sev- eral months on the propositions He considers that a great stroke has been made for the city.
 The new gas rates in Birmingham present a striking contrast to the prices paid in other southern cities. Atlanta now pays $1.40 per 1000 cubic feet, and the Georgia public service commission has allowed an increase to $1.75. Other southern cities have cor respondingly high rates.
 By the terms of the contract 1t is thought that the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company will be able to overcome deficit and reach sound financial basis. The cost to the utility company will be only about IS cents per 1000 cubic feet of gas, but the cost of transporting the gas w1lf.be a main factor in the total cost.

THREE-YEAR CONTRACT

The ordinance calls for a three-year contract. Dr. N. A. Barrett was author ized to enter into contract with Lee c. Bradley and other officials of the Bir- mingham Railway Light and Power Company. Mir. Bradley has gone over the terms of the ordinance, and only the formality of signing the contract remains. Further continuance of the contract is provided unless six months notice of termination is given by one of the parties.
 The by-product gas to be furnished must contain 500 British thermal units. which is less than the requirement. for manufactured gas Officials state that the coke oven gas Is more satisfactory and no practical difference will be no- ticed in the heat units.
 The city requires that the gas must be delivered continuously and uninter- ruptedly under a uniform and we'll governed pressure. The utility com pany is required to pay $150 per month, which will provide for daily inspection of the gas by the city

ALASKA TOURIST TRAVEL.

According to advices received in Alaska from steamship and railroad agencies in Seattle and also in the middle west, travel by tourists to Alaska this summer is to be heavy, heavier than for the past three years. This travel is not only to be heavy to Southeastern Alaska points but to the Southwestern Alaska points, Cor dova, Valdez, Seward and Anchorage, with many making the trip to the interior Within a few years the AL aska tourist travel will be the great est in the history of the Territory. Many will perhaps say that the tour ist is going to Europe and there wan der over the battlefields. It is true there will be much travel across the Atlantic to view the scenes of con- f1fct in the recent world war, but this travel is not going to be as@large as many believe. Hardly household in <he United States but has been hit hy the war. This war is over and peo- pie want to. forget it. Take for in- stance, practically any man or woman going to France. They will view the places where Bill or John met his death. Here or there they will remem- Ser that some bloody battle was fought. Other places they will re- Haember are where defenseless women and children were outraged, then shot or bayoneted by the barbarious Hun, Austrian or Bulgarian. None sf these reminders will be pIesant snes and as before said people want to forget about the horrible war and consequently will stay away from the scene. With this in view, what bet ter country is there to visit than Alaska? As has been said, in Alaska enc has the scenery of Italy eclipsed md the granduer of the Alps is sur passed. In time, when the govern nent railroad is completed, tourists eaa view from the observation cars ts1e bears, goats and moose in their native wild, perhaps only short dis tance away. Hotels and resorts are bound to be constructed and the rugged country will be brought to the doors of the comfortable hotel. with all the conveniences of an east ern watering place or summer resort. Alaska is just beginning to come into her own as a tourist 1and.-Ex.

VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS

The three tailors of Threadneedle street who issued a proclamation be- ginning with We, the people," had nothing on a bunch of fellows up at SAagway who have gone on record by declasing the bone dry law a menace to life, liberty and the pursuit @f happiness.-Douglas News.
 m mentioning the naval appropria- tien, that passed the house recently, sEere was no mention made of the Ralllion dollar appropriation for deve1- spment of the government coal fields h the Matanuska valley. This was Ro doubt, merely an oversight on the part of either congress or the Asso- eiated Press.-Anchorag Times.
 Valdez was not frozen or blocked with ice for two weeks or any time for that matter, as the Evans was the only boat which refused to come into the bay on account of the ice, the Alameda following her and mak- ing port without difficulty.

answer when any one else called.
He was larger than a tame goose
and was probably so years old.

CAR SH0R 7 AGE
MYTH, DECLARES
FAR M. OFFICIAL
Check Made in Illinois Yards by
Illinois Agricultural As
JsOciatiOn

Chicago, Aug. 16.--The first sur
vey of freight cars ever taken by the
farmers Of a state has just been COM
pleted through the Illinois Agricul-
tural association Secretary D. q.
Thompson announced today. On the
basis of this census he said Illinois
farmers did not believe there was a
car shortage. The trouble with
transportation he characterized as
''immobility," and he declared the
farmers meant to find out whose
fault it was.
Secretary Thompson said the as
sociation undertook it's census after
receiving reports from farmers over
the state that they saw many cars
standing idle on country tracks.
"1f we may take the total number
of freight cars Of the country on De-
cember, 81, 1918, as a basis for COM
putation, and consider that the per-
centage of immobility of cars is as
great in Chicago, Toledo, and New
York as in country points like
Clarksdale, Fidelity and Low Poin:,
it is very moderate when we say that
the total number of new cars which
the railroads say they need to meet
the transportation requirements OF
the present moment, is not a patch
to the total of immobile cars now
idling by the weeks and months in
terminal yards and on side tracks at
country points.
"This survey shows pretty clearly
to the farmers of Illinois the excuse
of car shortage is largely camou-
flage, given to cover up some real,
deeper reason for the present trans
portation inefficiency. And to search
for that reason will be the next JOB
of the farmers business organiza-
tion."
