r FIND5BIRNINGHAM HAS NJ E:SSIMISM
Columbus Publisher Sees Wonderful Progress Made
 In Last Two Years

Not a single note of pesimisna. from e responsible source, have ! heard during the past two days in Birmingham" said W. c. WoodalL publisher of Industrial Index. Col umbus, Ga. This city and district have a foundation so solid that they are not affected by temporary re- sessions and the minor ebb and flow Of business conditions. Investments here-industrial investments espec- iaiIy-are made not on q basis of a year but in a more permanent way, it being frankly recognized that there are lean as well as fat years in busi- ness, and that the only wise plan is tO make provision for the average conditions that q cycle Of years brings.
 There is already g reaction from the reaction of 60 days ago, when what virtually amounted to 9 buyers strike in various important northern and eastern ceuters was inaugur- ated as q practical protest against prOtlteering. It was necesary to give lesson, and tho lesson as ad- ministeTed was sharp and practical. This already has had a sobering eff feet and has cleared the atmosphere wonderfully and already there is & tendency to fix both commodity prices and labor prices more con- scrvatiyely. As @ matter of fact, this reaction was not felt as aCutely in the North 6s in the South. ln dustrial conditions in this section are as a whole, sound and healthy.
 Naturally, the wonderful progress made by the Rirmin gham district. es- pecially during tho past year or so. has been an inspiration 10 the rest ot the south. Industrial develop meut and expansion in this district I...a 1n ia in Birmingham realize. perhaps for 1t is many pha sed. An encoura ginE feature of industry In Birmingham Is It's Increased diversiflcation. Coal and iron continue, naturally, tho leading industries, but when one con- sidCrs the erection of two large ce- mont mills in the district, the con struetion of new lime plant, and tho enlargement of several other l.Wc plants, all within a year, sons idea is Gainol ot the increasing mag 'uitud- ol other lines of manufacture.

ON MAKING MISTAKES

(From Glen Elder (kan) SentineD
 We made a mistake in last week S issue of The Sentinel. A good sub scriber told Us about It. The same day there was Il letter Tn our post office that didn't belong to us. We called for Main 33 ovel the telephone and got 19S. Ne asked for a spool of Mo- 50 thread and when we got home we found it was No. 60. The train was reported thirty minutes late. We arrived at tEe "depot 20 minutes after train time and the train was gone. We got our milk bill and there was a mistake of ten cents in our favor. We felt sick and the doctor said we were eating too much meat. He hadn't tasted meat for two months. The garage man said the jitney was missing because it needed a new timer. We cleaned the spark plugs and it's run fine ever since. Yes, we made . mistake in last weeks issue ot the paper.

GOVERNMENT POLICY POOR ONE.

By it's vacillating policy in develop ing Alaska, the government is soaring capital away and causing many old timers to quit in disgust and leave for the States. When the railway was projected the towns Of Nenana and Anchorage were laid out on a lavish scale. Streets were graded, sidewalks built, water systems, tele- phone lines, electric light plants and all the requisites of modern cities were constructed out of railway mon- eys. Then came the slump. The gov ernment pulled it's machine shops out of Nenana removing them to Fair banks, ceased running it's light and telephone and water plants, and left Nenana stranded, town without a population. The same program was enacted at Matanuska, and may yet be the means of wrecking Anchorage and Seward.
 At Valdez government support was removed to other towns, the troops were removed to other places, and to. day Valdez is struggling to adjust herself to economic conditions not of her making.
 If the government would only an. nounce some settled plan of develop. ment which it could assure settlers would be carried out for a period of five years of over, there would not be so many blasted hopes and ruined businesses in Alaska today.
 The removal of the land office from Juneau, the capital from Sitka, the troops from Gibbons and Valdez to other points in the Territory, the shifting and changing laws and regu. lations enacted. all tend to ruin any
