With the Cotton States special were t;.w "ewspaper .men of Birmingham, Ala., Clyde V. Ennis of the Birmingham Birming-ham Ledger and Burr Blackburn of the Age-Herald. These two reporters arc pulling off one of the longest boosting stunts that has ever been attempted in this country. They were emploved by the chamber of commerce and. board of trade of Birmingham to accompany the special and boost Birmingham. Birmingham, it will be recalled, is the city of Alabama that has within the past tew years startled the steel and iron world -with its productiveness of these two products. Lately tho United btates Steel corporation purchased the old ronnessec company ami has spent within the past few months .something hko ,,000,000 at Birmingham in im proving the steel plauta and furnn.'-iv nt that point. Tho steel corporation intends to make wonderful developments develop-ments at Birmingham, and this leads to tho belief that tho next to the largest larg-est trust! iif the world will make a second Pittsburg or Youngstown of the Alabama city. The corporation has all the requirements for open-hearth rails within a circle, and transports them to its plants with its own railroad, thus reducing tho cost of production materially. materi-ally. Tsirmingham, according to Mr. Burr, is rapidly growing. "Wo aro just now rolling a Hl,()00-ton orderi of rails for the JlaiTiman lines." he said, "and expect orders from man- other western companies. Our plants operated almost constantly during the panic, and we weathered the storm of hard times well." Iowaus in the City. Salt Lake City danced on the. streets and sidewalks when tho big Iowa contingent con-tingent of Elks struck town Friday night. From S.-30 o'clock until the special spe-cial train pulled out over the Salt, Lako Route at 1 in tho morning, tho famous Fifty-fourth Begimciit baud, Towa National Na-tional Guard, made things roar. Maybe those corn-huskors can't .play, and maybe they can, but the consensus of opinion was that they'll make the Butte miners hustle in tho big contest. O. B. Worrell, the leader, is one of the host musicians in tho West, and the fifty-six players under his direction form one of the finest bands in the United States. They serenaded the wholo lown for several hours, parading up and down the main business thoroughfares, with a howling mob at their heels. The Iowa Elks were escorted by the local lodgo members to the tabernacle, where they were treated to a special organ recital. Later, they proceeded to the Salt Lake lodge 'n club, where they gave a beautiful serenade. As the Fifty-fourth regimental band played "Auld Lang Svne." little Man-rine Man-rine .M13' Carr. a daughter of one of the most prominent Elks in the party, was placed on a table, and she swung the baton of Conductor Worrell like a real leader. Among the best known Elks from Iowa were Past Exalted "Ruler Ernest Mitchell, representing Ottumwa lodge No. o-17, and T, ,1. Phillips, mayor of Ottumwa, who is counted one" of the livest wires from the corn-raising section. sec-tion. The city of Ottumwa was given the signal honor of representing the whole slate of Iowa- at tho reunion, because of tho Fifty-fourth IJcginicnt 's line band. |
