 A Few Incidentass.
 Incidentals in the citys new era are first the near completion or ie new Masonic Temple on Nineteenth Street and Sixth Avenue, at cost or between $40, 900 and $50,000. and the recon struction and undertaking of the tior' ence Hotel for new management.
 The odd Fellows and the Knights or pvthias. in the near future, will unite in the building of a fine structure to pc known as Fraternaf Hall, on Iniro Avenue. The lot was bought httIe over a year ago for $S,750. They are now offered $16,000 for It, but reiuse to sell.
 In discussing the strength and ac- tivitv of Birmingham of today, Eli F. smith. associate editor of The News recalled these and other circumstances. The list that was gathered ana gone over contained only assured things. u does not for one contain the prospec- five steel-making plant of the sioss- Sheffield Company at posslpIe cost VI s2OO, 900, but which is not yet ceI taiued. Nor does the list inciuoe some smaller improvements and many eh terprises of a minor nature.
 "An importont feature of our present satisfactory condition here in Birming- ham is the fine price that obtains TOT iron" said MT. Smith. The price or iron is Ss a ton more than 1t was ln July. In July, No. foundry was seil- ing for S10 ton. It Is now selling lor SIS a ton. ,o~- ar in tha market to sell iron. Their output until January has been sold; some of the companies have sold all the iron they can make for six months. Desnite our labor troubles. our output of coal will be the largest In the history of Birmingham. The total Will run over 10,000.000 tons. Our iron output will be close to 100000 tons. our o,n only impediment, our only drawback. Is lack of labor. There are room ana jobs for at least 10000 men. and they are needed badly"

Met More Than His Match in an "Ala-

 A bewildered, weary-looking man nailed the register of the Astor House to the desk with his left elbow today and painfully scrawled upon 1t "G w. Chenault, Mount Hope, Ala" He looked as if he had just arrived.
 His ill-ftting 'other clothes" were crumpled as though he had slept dou- bled up in a car seat; he needed a shave, and apparently the only breaK- fast he had was chew of tobacco.
 He arose from the cramped posture to meet the eye of the clerk. who said
 I'm afraid you'll have to wait little while for room. We have none vacant just now"
 All right. suh," said the farmer "Ah1l set down awhile. Ah've trav- eled long ways"
 The stranger turned his face from the battery of grins from a dozen men who had heard him speak.
 One young man. who had eyed him sharply from the moment he entered the hotel. stepped up as soon as ne sank listlessiy | to. the char and in- quired:

PROSPERITY THE THEME
 IN GREAT BIRMINGHAM
It is Not a Boom, They Say, but Development Which Must Necessarily Come to Such
 Splendid Resources.

i, mingham man looks at 1t, calmly and confidently. And so nearly everybody goes to talking boom conditions and good times generally. Your Atlanta men, in seff-assertiveness, in prideful boastings of his town, in spiendidly ignoring all the rest of the world, will have to take second rank to the true and loyal Birmingham man. He can talk the Atlanta man to a standstill because the Atlanta man has to deal in more or less glittering generalities, but the man from Birmingham has so many causes to present for his city's greatness, so many natural resources which have made the place rich and which will make it still richer in the future.
 Birmingham probably learned the tune from Atlanta, but she sings it louder and better than the other.
 .. Not Mere Roasting.
 After all this. this fiamboyant talk of the Magic City's greatness is not mere boasting. The man who makes the talk is not uttering mere words. There's meat, there's truth in what he says. Of course 1t is not meant that everything the man from Birmingham tells you about his town is strictly true There is a whole lot more than lan- guage in his conversation. The ex- nlDItS are HeTe. lHe TGdl tSldiC figures have not been much exaggerat- ed The real estate market both specu lative and natural Is as active as he says it is The big improvements he talks about are coming in. He has not necessarily been story telling because he has been bragging.
 Birmingham is moving forward faster right now than in her history.
 That is a risky statement to mako in
 .t.AI AI.I. .f the Magic City during some of the years of it's past history. But it is justified by information from reliable sources. More building last year than in any previous year of it's history. more coal mined, more iron ore dug and sold, more enterprises established and more new people come in. Such are the asser- tions of reliable business men.
 How does the future look? By next spring more than five million dol lars worth of building operations will be going on within the city of Birm- ingham at one time. I can count up now in three or four big structures more than two million dol lars. To do this 1t is only necessary to mention the million dollar passenger depot, the Jefferson Hotel and the Eugenotto. two y-scrapers which have already been planned and for which sites have already been purchased. In other large enterprises and in general building the remaining three million dollars will be accounted for. It will be a bigger building year than last year and last year was the biggest building year in the history of Birmingham The Spirit of Today.
 The Birmingham spirit of today. this spirit of optimism. of confident assur- ance the boom talk. the more than usually crowded streets, the inyigorated commerce, the revitalized industrial and manufacturing lices, are one and each, merely effects Birmingham, since the

Birmingham. Oct. 14.-(Special Cor respondence.) )--They tell startling tales about real estate here. The fig ures they use are astonishing.
 Everybody talks boom talk, the bootblack, the hotel clerk, the restau- rant cashier, the lawyer in his office, the banker from his upholstered leather chair. the carpenter as he waits for his car to take him to his new job, the friend you meet on the street--they all talk about the beom-that is, all ex- cept the old citizen. He knows what Q boom is. He doesn't want the in toxicating boom that Birmingham once passed through. A city recovers from a boom like some unfortunate recovers from a protracted spree, with shattered nerves, shaken purposes and remorse- full regrets for lost opportunities. When 1t is on, the boom is whirl of intoxicating activity, money mania, a speculating profit making mania and then comes the morning after.
 Birmingham years ago danced through this intoxicating experience, with joy supreme, with lights flash and no poor kin. And then she walked ithe morning after" feverish and sick sned, with heart full of vain regrets.

 how strong and vigorous the reaction might be-for her to be but tempora- rily halted by It's embarrassing conse- uuences.
 Other North Alabama towns went through the same sort of experience and came out deadened and paralyzed They had not the reserved strength the resources, of Birmingham. There are too many of the clements that en- ter into the making up of great city about Birmingham for her to be per manently injured by one of these dam gerous booms

Let Birmingham widen out to her appointed destiny steadily, and certainly Everything that she needs for this Is within her grasp. Let her greatness come in due time and by no hot-house methods.
 Real estate prices are vaulting in such a way, the market Is so feverishly active and vigorous, business is so as- tonishingiy good. so many first rank enterprises and improvements are be- ing established that some of the older
 iZens of Birmingham are becoming

Mr.. David Siler and most estmable
and well-known resident of West
Burke street, died verv suddenly about
10 O'Clock Tuesday night as the result
an attack of heart trouble. Mrs.
Siler was aged N years, and had been
an invalid for several years. although
her condition was ut no time REGARDED
as very serious until her last illuess.
She was in her usual health last
evening and chatted chserfully with
the members of her family before re-
firing. but in a few moments after

clans were hastily summoned, but no
relief could be given and she died in

Arizona Pride.

Uproar over statehood in New Mex
leo and Arizona grows apace, as the
time draws nearer for the next ses
sion Of congress- The fear that the
Joint Statehood Bill may be passed fills
the hearts of the men Of Arizona with
fury and dismay, They scorn New
Mexico. As is often the case with in
dividuals where social inequality ex'
lists, OF is assumed, the under-dog in
this matter is careful TO speak with
ealmness and apparent logic. The New
Mexico people declare with much rea'
son that the only hope for statehood at
present is through the compromise Of
fered by the Hamilton bill They
point out that the relative preponder-
anee of population in the East is like
" for many years to continue to i'm
crease, and that If the East is not now
willing to give Arizona or New Mexico
the same representation in the senate
that New York and Pennsylvania have,
il will be still less likely to do 80 in
the future. And they declare that were
the two territories combined, they
would forget that they were ever sep
arate, and no more think Of division
than Texas does which has a right
under its Enabling Act TO divide If it
wants to. The people Of Arizona, on
the other hand, assert that they have
nothing to gain by joint statehood, and
everything to lose. They have an inn
mense territory-beautiful to look up
on, immeasurably rich, and as far as
ultimate possibilities go, practically
undevelOped They have timber and
mines and grazing land, and new rec
lamation projects viii give TO the state
many times its present agricultural
value. They look down upon their
neighbor as Of a lower caste. They
call New Mexico a "greaser" eoun-
try. They grow more and more hot
under the collar, and use such torrid
phrases as Gwen fght to the last
ditch" They are willing for the pres
snt, they say, to give up statehood al
together rather than be htehed 70
