TAKES POSSESSION MAY BOTH
One of the Oldest Hotel Men of the
state-conducted the ST. James, at
Davenport, for Thirteen Years
Now Interested in the Dried Fruit
and Olive Oil Business.

An important business deal was
closed late this afternoon when the
Ames Hotel Company, b. f. and w. B.
Ames, transferred to H. Birdsall, or
Los Angeles, their lease on the Pill
grim Hotel, and disposed of all the fur
niture and belongings of the property
to the new lessee. Possession is to be
given on May 80.
Mr.. Birdsall came to this city day
or two ago in company with his
brother in-law, Mr.. John Ferrall, for
marly connected with the Fl. l.. Spencer
Grocery Company, oskaloosa. 1t was
learned in Chicago that the Ames COM
lease. because of the i'll health of the
senior member of the firm, Mr.. b. f..
Ames. Mr.. Birdsall and Mr.. F'errall
thought the matter worth investigat-
ing. altho when they came from Cali
fornia they had no idea of making any
investment in hotel property. Suitable
arrangements have been made and the
deal was closed without difficulty.
Mr.. Birdsall is one of the best known
hotel men in the state, having been
successfully engaged in the business
for the past twenty-four eyars. He
began his hotel life in Winterset, where
he conducted the old st. Nicholas. For
thirteen years he owned the st. James
at Davenport, and was for many years
proprietor of the Birdsall, at oska-
loosa. He was never connected person
ally with the latter property, having
bought 1t for his brother-in-law,
Mr.. Birdsail was also located in Ne
braska City, Neb., for five years, where
he ran two hotels, the Morton and the
Grand Pacific.
Mr.. Birdsall says he will soon have in
the Pilgrim one of the best and
prettiest hotels in the state Of Iowa. He
is going to remodel the Office portion
extensively, and put in new furniture.
He will also transform the little re-
ception room, off the south entrance.
into a Turkish corner Owing to his
extensive business enterprises in Cal
iforria, Mr.. Birdsall VIII not be able
to take personal charge of his new
property at once, but he will eventually,
or as soon as he can make satisfactory
arrangements. He is at present iden-
titled with ex-Congressman Curtis, OF
Clinton in California fruit ranches, be-
ing engaged more particularly in the
dried fruits and olive oil business. Mr.
Ferrall will be Interested with Mr..
Birdsall in the business and expects
to move to the city soon from Los
Angeles, where he has been spending
the winter He will assume charge az
soon as the property Is turned over.
The plans of the Messrs. Ames are
not yet definitely decided upon. They
are disposing of their interests solely
on account of the health of MIR. b. F.
Ames and Mrs. w. B. Ames. Each has
been suffering with severe attacks OF
rheumatism. and it will be necessary
for them to seek different climate.

1t will not be a great while until
the term alfalfa hog means a differ
ent type from that grown east. When
the railroads master the problem of
carrying hogs through without dis
ease quite a per cent of the pork of
the country will be grown west of the
corn belt, where alfalfa does better
than in the central states. We look
for the time when our pigs will be
shipped east to cattle feeders and
farmers who have more corn than
hogs. These shoats when put on a
heavy corn diet, whether on an alfalfa
farm or not, make rapid gains and
we believe will make better use of
corn than hogs grown on a corn ration.
Everybody in this country knows that
hogs grown on alfalfa have much
greater resisting power. to cholera
than those grown on corn and sub
jected to the same disease under the
same conditions.-Field and Farm.
