WEDDING OF
FOR NJ Err
ENVOY
\
News Of Hussein Alai's
Marriage Comes
Slowly

It is a double surprise to Wash
ington to hear that the former
Minister, Hussein Alai, is married
and that the news Of the event,
which occurred about six months
ago, has just seeped through to
his host OF friends and admirers
here. And yet 1t ned not be such
surprise, for despite the Occi.
dental training of the distinguished
Persian, inherited custom and ira.
dition must have some place.
However, it seems that the
former. minister has married q
lady who can share his Western
views as well as those handed
down by Persian forbears. She Is
the daughter of last Regent Of
Persia, who with his family, left
Persia several years ago soon after
the Shah was given the rulership,
and has since made his home in
Paris.
The daughters name is Fatffneh
an dshe is the first cousin of Doc
tor Naghi Khan, a son Of a former
Persian minister in Washington,
who married the daughter Of an
old Georgetown family and now
makes his home in Georgetown.
The marriage of Mr.. Hussein Alai
took place in Paris when he was
en- route from this country to
Persia. where he is now a member
of the Persian Parliament. His
wife speaks French and English
fluently-is extremely pretty, so
those who know her report-an
is thoroughly cognizant Of the Ell

KENNECOTT WINS
 OPENING GAME

The baseball season open ed last Saturday evening between Mccarthy and Kennecott when the local boys journeyed to the latter place and met defeat at the hands of the Kennecott team by d score of } to 3.
 Both teams showed lack of practice but the closeness of the score throughout the game made it very interesting to a large crowd of spectators. Kennecott got away in the opening stanza for one run on couple of in+ field errors by Mccarthy and added two more in the sixth when fly was lost in the out llelu owing UO GIlo sun.
 The pitching of Hedderley for McCarthy was exceptionally good and only poor backing lost him the game as he allowed only two hits during the fracas. The Twins, as a battery, played a steady game for Kennecott and had the situation we'll in hand at all times.
 A return game will be played in Mccarthy tonight.

Better Laws Urged
To Save Timber
CONSERVATIONISTS CALL AT
TENTION TO PLAN NOW IN
VOGUE IN LOUISIANA.

~ Atlanta, Ga.-Every landowner in
the South would be better eff if his
state had laws helping him to protect
it was pointed out here. today by for
est conservationists.
Only three Southern States, Texas,
Louisiana and Alabama have State
Foresters.
Georgia, Mississippi and Arkansas
have taken steps in the direction of a
Forestry Department within the past
year. rs
louisiana it was stated here, is the
furtherst advanced in helping the land
owner as it has a law by which the
owner can enter into contract with
the state at a low set taxrate for a
period of years while his timber is
growing.
At the present time, according to
figures made public here, there are
218,000 acres in Louisiana in state
contracts mostly in big bodies, but it
was recently decided to present this
plan to the small land owner, reports
from Louisiana show, and this will
give every farmer in that state with
a tract of cut over land the oppor-
tunity of setting it aside for timber
growing.
Some revenue, it was shown, can
be obtained from thinning the timber
in about five years; in ten to twenty
years pulp wood and posts could be
taken off, and in twenty-five to
thirty years saw logs would be ready,
and the land value including the tim
Der would probably run as high as
5000 an acre.

RAILWAY TAKES
OVER PROPERTY
A. B. & A. EXERCISES OPTION
OF TRACT IN TOWNSVILLE.
RUMORED NEW PASSENGER
STATION WILL BE ERECTED.

Thomasville, Ga, Dec. 22.-The
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
Railroad has exercised the option held
on a portion of the old Piney Woods
Hotel property, which was owned by
L. F. Driver, of this city. This option
was. taken up and the official of the
road in charge of the transaction
stated to Mr.. Driver that he would
go to Valdosta to exercise the option
recently secured there on the re-
mainder of the property owned by
parties in that city. This will give
the road all of the property on that
block, with the exception OF the fill
in station on the corner of Broad St.,
which,, it is said, will be exchanged
for property elsewhere.
The road already owned a hundred
feet frontage on the Atlantic Coast
Line right-of-way. Report says that
a new passenger station will be built
on the property adjacent to the At
lantic Coast Line right-of-way and
that the remainder of the property
will be loaned for industrial enter
prises. Twenty-Five thousand dollars
is said to have been the option price
for the property just obtained.
F. Various rumors anent the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad
continues to be circulated, but they
are only rumors. There is no doubt,
however, that there is a greater de-
gree of activity connected with the
road and its movements here than
has been the case before, which leads
to the belief by many that the road
is arranging for som echange in its
management or ownership.
