LAR SERVICE HERE TO BE SUPERVISED ]
 BY DISTRICT HEAD
More Even Distribution of Freight Carriers AntiCi- pated by Shippers in
 Birmingham

Coal operators and other shippers express belief in more even frelsht | car distribution and avoidance or many of the worries of the past arls- ing out of faulty distribution, in the coming to Birmingham of 5, II. Charles, who is to be permanently here as district manager of the car service section of the American Rall- way association. MT. Charles Will open offices next week at 5lI-1S American Trust building.
 Birmingham was selected as head- quarters for the district manager on earnest solicitation of coal operate ; and other shippers who presented the t claims of the district on account or its heavy outbound tonnage or coal iron and steel. The district wi wlii comprise the states of Alabama, Ten nessee. Georgia, Florida, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Mlsslsslppl and +ba New orleans terminals.
 By having a car service district of- flee in the south the southern snip pers will not be compelled to go to Washington or wait on Washington for emergency relief as has been the case without a district manager. There have been temporary managers here before. but Mir. Charles Is to be here permanently and will be able to foresee and prevent car shortages and compositions and the like as well as remedy after trouble develops, say the shippers.
 Mr Charles is an experienced rail road man and formerly resided nere. He will be familiar with the district s needs from the start, say the ship pers.

.GOMB|NAT I ION RATE VIA MALLORY LINE
 WILL CUT EXPENSE
Warrior River Cities to Enjoy New Water and Rail Tar ifs Through
 Mobile
With the forthcoming publication

With the forthcoming publication of rail and water rates via the Mallory steamship line at Mobile to Demopolis, three cities on the War rior river, Birmingham. Tuscaloosa and Demopolis will enjoy a twenty per cent less than all-rail rate on goods from the eastern seaboard and ten per cent less than eastern points when handled by Warrior barges in conjunction with the Mallory line.
 The rail and water rates to Demo- polls are to be published February Is, and will be effective after that date. These rates already apply to Birmingham and Tuscaloosa, Blr- mingham having had the rates for eighteen months to two years and Tuscaloosa having been recently granted the differentials.
 Rates to East
 Meantime the Warrior transporta- tion department has been urging the matter of corresponding low rail and water rates from Birmingham and the other Warrior river cities on goods moving from them to the east; rates similar to those on southbound traffic via the Mallory line General agent Youman expects these north bound -differentials to be announced and published at an early date.
 The result of lower northbound rates to the east via Warrior river and Mallory line would be, it is be- lio''ed 2 large movement of cotton mill products from cities in the diff 1erentIaI territory to the eastern seaboard Rates on such com modities as would naturally move to the east and expected to be declared and considerable business to the east is confidently forecasted.

POLICE DEPARTMENT FRUSTRATING IN MONTH OF DECEMBER

Birmingham's police department was only S1,47750 short of being self sustaining during December, record hitherto unparalleled, according to police statistics The police budget for salaries alone is s22,14o, an ad- ditional sum of s2,O00 being added to that amount for expenses incurred during the month. The total amount paid into the treasury from fines levied in police court, exclusive of pound fees was $22,662.50. This is regarded as an exceptionally good record for December, usually one of the quietest months of the year in police circles.

OPPOSITION TO
FOREST ROADS.
MEETING AT DULUTH DEvEL.
OPED SOME VERY STRONG
AND PITHY DOPE.

At the road hearing at the court
house in Duluth Tuesday at which
were present representatives of ma
tional, district and local organiza-
tions, resolutions were adopted pro-
testing the building of roads in the
Superior National Forest.
c. A. Dahlgren spoke on the need
Of the department for the roads to
assist in the suppression of forest
fires, the deluge of arguments against
the road building broke out and the
opinion seemed to be general that
the country should not be opened up
with roads of any kind. It was al
so the opinion that the balance of
the lands between the fores. re-
serve boundary and the Canadian
boundary should be set aside and
added to the reserve.
H. j. Merdink, representative of
the Ely Commercial Club was the
only delegate present who spoke for
the roads and his arguments carried
considerable weight but he was out
voted when ballot on the PROPOSE
ton was taken.
The result Of the meeting was
the formation of an organization to
be known as the Superior National
Forest association for the purpose
of watching over the affairs of the
forest and preserving to future
generations the virginity of the
country. Paul B. Riis of Rockford,
ILL.,, park superintendent and head
Of the American Park society, was
named president of the association.
Other officers named include T. S.
Written, Virginia, general manager
of the Virginia Rainy Lake Lumber
company, vice president; Donald
Hough. St. Paul, secretary; Theo-
dore Wirth, Minneapolis, secretary;
James Lawrie.. Duluth, treasurer.
Among the official delegates pres
ent at the meeting were c. j. Stable,
Denver, Colo, assistant district for
ester; L. F. Kneipp, Washington, D:
c., assistant national forester; Paul
r. Riis, Rockford. H., superlntend-
ent American Park society; Will H.

versity of Minnesota; Crosby A.

gren, Ely, supervisor Superior Ma

ing company, and representative OF
the state and county highway de-
partments, lumber companies, rail
roads, tourist interests and local
and district civic organizations.
H. B. Fryberger. Duluth attor-
ney representing the Backus Lum-
Der interests, said that the forest
rangers were being paid to over
come handicaps in their work"
when it was pointed out that roads
would assist fire fighters in getting
to the fires and that the service at
present was handicapped. For this

Johanson's predictions to date
have been accurate. He isn't the

His new prophesies have, therefore,
aroused the greatest interest.
His predictions cover the happen

next 80 years. They tell of great

Among the things Johanson pre-
dicted in 1913 were:

| Great plaques, including Spanish

does not predict who will win.
| During the next thirty years Ger,
4 many will witness a series of bloody
revolutions especially in the south
west. Other revolutions are seized

China and overseas colonies.
In 1853 France will invade Nor

world during this time. Anothe,

Spanish French war-a lung disease
which will wipe out one-fourth Of

A movement designed to put Ely

given a decided impetus Tuesday
afternoon when members of the city
council and the school board met
with citizens and discussed the ad-
visibility of engaging an instructor,
the organization of band and or
chestra and the introduction of in
the Ely schools. The matter was
thoroughly gone over with Prof
Reinchager of Tracy. MINI. who
was present and gave valuable adj
vice towards such move. The
opinion is general that with the tai
efat now in the city and the de-
velopment of more, Ely can have a
band and orchestra second 20 lone
in the state. Both the city coun-
ell and the school board were fav-
orably impressed with the idea OF
engaging an instructor and OF de-
Looping the talent now lying Cor

council at the meeting Tuesday
evening went on record as favor.
ing the move and it is expected the
school board will do the same at
the next meeting. Hundreds of dol
lars worth of instruments are now
lust so much junk in various homes
in the city simply because there
was no one here who could instruct
in their use. BY making the music
question one of community interest
and with the giving of credits in
the schools for this study, it is ex.
rected that much good will develop
We now have the reputation. of hay,

and histronic talent here 70 be
