WAR ON MALARIA
 BRINGS RESULTS
Only 2 Cases Reported As Compared With 46
 Last Year
Tennessee Valley Bureau)

ALBANY-DECATUR, Ala, Nov. 15. Faith in the final elimination of malaria from all sections of the south was strengthened here Saturday with a recent remarkable report by Dr. Il. c. McRree, county health officer for Morgan county, showing the success of his anti-malaria campaign of last sum- mer. His reports show that whereas there were 46 cases of malaria re- ported in September, 1923, when no campaign was executed that during the present September only two cases of malaria were reported. Last October there were 67 cases of malaria re- ported but only seven reported in Octo- Der of this year.
 Out of a population of 40,196 in Morgan county half of that number were given almost complete protection from malaria, that is those living in Albany-Decatur and in Hartselle and Falkville. One thousand and twenty gallons of anti-mosquito oil was used over an area of 76,500 square yards during June, July and August. Also a paris green mixture weighing $500 pounds all told was distributed over an area of S5, ,120 square yards. Three hundred seven wells and cisterns of Morgan county have been stocked with anti-malaria minnoWS.

CUT IS ORDERED
 IN STOVE RATES
Big Birmingham Indus try Will Benefit By
 Reduction
(State Capital Bureau)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 15.- The Alabama public service commission in decision announced today found existing rates on stoves and ranges carloads, to be unjust, and prescribed general statewide reduction on rates on these commodities effective 40 days from Nov. IA. A uniform mileage scale of rates was established, placing all shipping points on an equality mile age consideration. Both single and joint line mileage scales were pre- scribed.
 Consideration of less than carload rates on stoves and ranges was post poned pending the revision of class rates, and the commission also dis missed the petition of E. A. DeFuniak on behalf of all carriers, seeking to re- wise carload minimum rates on stoves and ranges, this point has been handled in the general decision as to rates on these commodities. The Birmingham traffic association and Montgomery chamber of commerce represented the shippers interests in this case. It Is stated that Birmingham has $400,0OO invested in stove manufacturing with a capacity of 12 carloads daily.
 In another decision Saturday, on pe- tition of the Roquemore Gravel com pany versus the Southern and Western railroads, involving rates on sand and gravel from Montgomery to stations on the Southern between Selma and De mopolis and between Marion Junction and Akron, the commission decided in favor of the petitioner and ordered rates reduced.

ROGERS PROPOSES $75,ODO,0OO ISSUE
 FOR GOOD ROADS
Bridges Over Tennessee, Alabama And Other
 Rivers Proposed

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 13.- The state of Alabama is contemplating submitting an amendment to the con stitution to authorize the issuance and sale of $75,000,000 worth of bonds to be used in constructing highways and brides, according to John A. Rogers, chairman of the state highway commls- sion. Of the present bond issue of S25,- 100000 for road and bridge construction S13,OOO0O0 has been sold, it was stated, and at the present rate of expenditures the balance will be applied to work to be accomplished in 1925 and 1926.
 A meeting held in Montgomery this week and attended by representatives from practically every county in the state, including members of both houses of the state legislature, indorsed the plan which would necessitate the calling of a special session of the legislature to authorize the amendment which would then be submitted to the people for rati- fication.
 Each county should have a minimum guarantee of at least $500,000 and S15,- 100000 would be necessary for building bridges over navigable streams, accord ing to Mir. Rogers. The commissioner further pointed out that the building of these bridges are not just charges against the people of the section where they are constructed.
 The federal government is now con- templating bridge over the Tennessee river at Wilson dam, he said and there slould be at least two more bridges over the same stream. Three bridges should be built over both the Bigbee and Ala bama rivers, while another is needed over the Warrior, Coosa and Talla- poosa.
 The antiquated system of ferries is no longer practicable in this state and with the increase of vehicular traffic and industrial progress, he said, ferries are always sources of annoyance to travellers, mud forming at the entrance with every fall in the stage of the river, while in times of crowded traffic delays of from two to three hours are some times caused.

PECAN FOUND TO BE NATIVE TO ALABAMA
Old Question Settled By State
 Forester

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 15.- Wild pecan trees have recently been found in the vicinity of ,Uniontown, Ala, measuring approximately four feet in diameter. One fallen trunk meas ured considerably over this figure. Men who have lived in the vicinity for over 70 years stated that when they were small children trees equally as large as these were very abundant.
 Of late years there has been a ques- tion raised as to whether the wild pecan was native to Alabama. Early botanists included the tree among those indigen- ou S to the state, but the latest books on the distribution of forest trees omit reference to sthe pecan in the forests of Alabama, leaving the impression that the apprently wild specimens were real ly planted by human agency.
 To settle this question, Dr. Roland NJ. Harper of the Alabama Geological survey and Major Page S. Bunker, state forester, made a field examina- tion through the sections of the state where the pecan had been reported as exising in natural wild state. The large specimens discovered and the tes- timony of the old inhabitants indicate beyond a doubt that the wild pecan existed in Alabama long before any probability of its being introduced into this state from other regions.
