FREE LIST HARMS SOUTH Construction Work on Alabama Steel Plant Shuts Down Construction work on the $3,000,000 plant of the American Steel and Wire Company at Corey, Alabama, has been stopped and 600 men have been let out of work. The American Steel and Wire Company is a subsidiary branch of the United States Steel Corporation. Its plant would have been completed in August, and its operation would require about 2500 skilled workers. Nine out of twenty-five blast furnaces in the district are already banked and it is rumored that the steel rail mill at Ensley will be closed down this week. Officials of the Tennessee coal, iron and railroad company, a branch of the United States steel corporation, declare the cessation of construction work at Corey is due to the fact that the "farmers' free list," as introduced in the house of representatives by Congressman O. W. Underwood, provides for admission to the United States, duty free, of hooped steel, barbed wire fencing, wire rope, staples and other products which it was planned to manufacture at the Corey plant. In the action of the steel corporation in suspending work on the Corey plant is seen a direct effort to force Congressman Underwood to recede from his position. Underwood's home is in Birmingham. The steel corporation is by far the most powerful factor in the industrial life of the Birmingham district. Its investments total many millions and its pay roll is thousands of dollars. The fluctuations in the price of steel mark the rise and fall of the business tide of Birmingham. Already there is talk of further application of park are but small remnants of the mighty continental glacier which, during the Ice Age, mantled the northern portion of the American continent, yet certain ones are sufficiently stupendous to challenge the daring and ability of the hardiest alpine explorers and climbers. The park is described by the federal topographers as a place of wondrous beauty, perhaps one of the most beautiful and magnificent mountain regions in the world. As long as a dozen years ago John Muir described this portion of Montana as one of the most favored spots of the continent, where men might almost find the springs of renewed life. THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT SCHEME The public health and marine-hospital service reached its present state of efficiency and usefulness in face of years of detraction and disparagement at the hands of the promoters, who now seize upon it as a means to ride into power. "Promoters" correctly describe these advocates of the proposed medical department, because the scheme is based on the trust principle of absorption. Seeing what has been accomplished on a small scale, these political doctors argue, what grand results would follow were the marine hospital service, the bureau of chemistry, the bureau of animal industry, the immigration service, and other departmental activities of a medical character all brought under one roof and one directing mind, and the scope of authority extended to nation-wide proportions? The scheme contemplated the organization of a federal service, and which would duplicate or displace the Miss Flora Wilson secretary of agriculture singing for the m Angeles, and talking suffragists.

Julia Bracken We has been given th plant is seen a direct effort to force Congressman Underwood to recede from his position. Underwood's home is in Birmingham. The steel corporation is by far the most powerful factor in the industrial life of the Birmingham district. Its investments total many millions and its pay roll is thousands of dollars. The fluctuations in the price of steel mark the rise and fall of the business tide of Birmingham. Already there is talk of further application of the thumbscrews by the steel corporation. It is suggested that the men thrown out of work at Corey circulate petitions imploring Congressman Underwood to assist in striking steel production from the proposed free list. It is further proposed that meetings be held by the chamber of commerce, the business men's league and similar commercial bodies, with a view of calling upon Mr. Underwood to recede from his position. So far, however, the business interests have not become alarmed over the situation. An officer of a constituent company of the steel corporation said: "The American steel and wire company has decided to discontinue further construction work in the Birmingham district, owing to certain proposed tariff changes. The Birmingham plants are the most pregnable of any of those controlled by the American steel and wire company. Vessels carrying cotton from Gulf or South Atlantic ports would be only too glad to return to our shores with the higher finished products of steel as ballast, which would mean an exceedingly favorable freight rate to the European makers of this product. "Pending the uncertainty regarding the tariff, wire, baling ties and kindred products, the steel and wire company felt that it was not in a position to complete the Corey plant as originally outlined, and carried forward until a recent date. "During the readjustment they have very naturally decided to await the final outcome of the present measure, in order that they more intelligently govern themselves as to the size and output of the completed plant. "It is also to be noted that hoops and cotton ties are included in the proposed free list. Needless to say, this feature would have a very direct bearing on the construction of a cotton tie plant, which is one of the forms of completed products which the steel corporation had hoped to on a small scale, these political doctors argue, what grand results would follow were the marine hospital service, the bureau of chemistry, the bureau of animal industry, the immigration service, and other departmental activities of a medical character all brought under one roof and one directing mind, and the scope of authority extended to nation-wide proportions? The scheme contemplated the organization of a federal service, and which would duplicate or displace the various state boards of health whose vigilance and energy make it practically impossible for contagion to get out of bounds in any part of the country. As now constituted and conducted, the federal and state public health forces are equal to any exigency that may arise, and there is absolutely no popular sentiment back of the plan of seizure and usurpation that is being urged upon congress. A number of bills embodying the varying views of advocates of a medical department, but all having a common purpose, are before that body, but none of them appears to be free of features so obviously mischievous that the chance of surviving discussion looks remote. However cleverly the authors ring the changes on "science" to cloak the real purpose of the movement, its inherent viciousness stands revealed the moment the surface is scratched.—Washington Post. SALT PRODUCTION BREAKS RECORD Figures for 1909 Show Production Ahead of That of Any Previous Year Salt was produced on a commercial scale in 1909 in practically one-third of the commonwealths of the United States. The value of the output, including small amounts reported from Hawaii and Porto Rico, reached the highest figure yet recorded in the history of the industry—namely, $8,343,-831. Detailed information on the industry and figures of production and consumption, import and export, are given in an advance chapter of the "Mineral Resources" for 1909, "The production of salt and bromine," by W. C. Phalen, of the United States Geological Survey. The report is now available for distribution by the Director of the Survey, Washington, D.C. The salt industry is an important one and touches directly every individual in the country. Salt is most nature.

This map will be used in the administration of the park by the interior department and will also be available for distribution to the public. This splendid people's playground, the youngest of our national parks, covers nearly a million acres in north western Montana just south of the Canadian line and includes the Lewis and Livingston mountain ranges, which constitute the northern Continental Divide. Throughout the area hundreds of majestic peaks rise 8000 9000 or 10,000 feet above sea level, alternating with sheer-walled canyons 1000, 2000 and even 3000 feet in depth, at the bottom of which dash glacial torrents. More than 60 glaciers may be found in the park, some of them several miles in area. The map shows also many lakes, large and small, nestling in the old glacier-scoured basins. The glaciers of the industry and figures of production and consumption, import and export, are given in an advance chapter of the "Mineral Resources" for 1909, "The production of salt and bromine," by W. C. Phalen, of the United States Geological Survey. The report is now available for distribution by the Director of the Survey, Washington, D. C. The salt industry is an important one and touches directly every individual in the country. Salt is mostly thought of in connection with its use in cooking and seasoning — its most obvious use. It has, however, a great many other applications. Its value as a preservative is well-known—the fish, meat, and dairy industries being largely dependent on it. Its use in different chemical and metallurgical processes is also of great importance. It is indirectly a main source of chlorine, which is used extensively in the manufacture of bleaching powder. Salt is also used as a source of chlorine in the chlorination of certain gold ores. One of its most valuable uses is in the manufacture of soda by the Le Blanc and ammonia processes, the resulting soda entering largely into the soap and glass industries. The fog was dense and the boat had stopped when the old lady asked the captain why he didn't go on. "Can't see up the river, madam." "But, captain," she persisted, "I can see the stars overhead." "Yes, ma'am," said the captain, "but until the boilers bust we ain't goin' that way." School children's eyes should be taken care of. Have them tested free at Hartfield's.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE NOTES Miss Flora Wilson Joins Suffragette Phalanx Miss Flora Wilson, daughter of the secretary of agriculture, has been singing for the music lovers in Los Angeles, and talking suffrage for the suffragists. She declares herself to be a strong suffragist, which in her opinion is a somewhat better name than suffragette. Miss Wilson foresees the time when American women at the national capital will exert political influence in quite the same straightforward way that they do in England and France, where Miss Wilson has spent a goodly amount of time. "Mrs. Belmont, Dr. Anna Shaw and Carrie Chapman Catt, are, in my opinion, brilliant, earnest women who will surely attain what they have in view," declared Miss Wilson, when asked what she thought of the New York suffragists. "And," she continued, "they are all friends of mine, and I work with them when I am in New York." A suffrage organization has been accomplished in exclusive, wealthy Pasadena by the men and women there who use much of their leisure in work of a civic and philanthropic nature. The first meeting was held at beautiful Hotel Green, and those who have allied themselves with the work, will operate in the Pasadena precincts along the same lines employed by the Los Angeles suffrage leagues. The members say that the Crown City will give the suffrage amendment as great a majority as any city of its size in the state.

In her letter she suggests that a collection be taken up by suffragists that the anti-suffrage speeches may be published and circulated freely, as an argument of the vituperative position that the antis take upon the women of the world through their arraignment of the suffragists and their work. COAL LANDS AWAIT VALUATION Nearly 80,000,000 Acres Yet to Be Classified by Geological Survey The government has a gigantic task in hand in the classification and valuation of its coal lands in the west. These lands are probably the nation's greatest direct asset, not even excepting the millions of horsepower latent in the rivers on the public lands. During the last two years the United States geological survey has examined in great geologic detail over 15,000,000 acres of the western coal lands, and in the month of March it classified and appraised 1,220,748 acres, with a valuation of $37,971,740.00. There still remains withdrawn, however, 78,152,808 acres awaiting classification and valuation. The following figures show the states in which these lands are situated: Arizona 118,718 acres, California 239,903, Colorado 5,866,763, Idaho 8,266,509, Montana 21,393,613, New Mexico 2,532,038, Nevada 92,141, North Dakota 18,215,384, Oregon 3,711, South Dakota 2,375,263, Utah 6,128,932, Washington 2,207,967, Wyoming 10,711,875.
