LUMBER DEALERS
DO RUSHING BUSINESS
The Unusual Amount of BUILDING in
the City Makes Big De-
mand for Lumber.

Ensley, July 13.-(Special.)- 1.-THE great
activity in building has caused the bus
mess of the lumber dealers to increase
at such a rapid rate that every lumber
yard in the city has had to employ sew
eral additional men to handle orders.
1t is now estimated that something like
hundred residences are being built In
the territory of the lumber men of this
city. The trade of the hardware and
paint dealers is equally as good in pro-
portion to the lumber trade.
In order to meet the demand for lum-

large number Of cars Of lumber every

KNEW GENE FIELD AS A TYPO.
A Man Who Says He Worked With the
Poet at the Case Tells Stories of Him.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Every man who has ever SO much as
walked the streets of Denver wants to
tell you a personal anecdote about the
most eccentric of all modern geniuses,
Eugene Field, and every man who ever
saw the inside of a Denver newspaper
office will tell you that he worked at the
case with Field" said Ralph Pomeroy of
Keokuk, Ia, who is at the Pfster.
But l claim the distinction of having
really worked along with Field at print
er's case shortly after the poet lost his
position in the editorial department and
was forced to go to the composing room
OF the paper to make his living.
when through with our work In the
early morning all the compositors would
hold a session across the alley in a little
oil night saloon and restaurant conducted
by a man who was Familiarity known as
Fritz. Field used to keep the crowd almost
hysterica with his ready wit and the lit
tie place became famous in way so that
the gambling fraternity and men about
town would drop in there on their way
home after some all night session at faro
bank
Field was negligent in paying bills
and his account at Frtiz's place, carefully
kept on a broken slate back of the bar.
was becoming uncomfortably long. Upon
being approached on the matter he con-
tritely promised that he would settle in
full on the next pay night. When the night
came around Field, in his generous way
gave his unopened pay envelope to a fell
low printer whose wife had died and who
had no money to defray her funeral ex-
penses
"The poets prodigality with his weekly
stipend came to the ears of Fritz and he
sent message to Field to come over and
see him. The tip was out that something
unusual would happen and the dingy little
eating place was thronged. Field walked
up to the bar and waited.
Mister Field said the old German
solemnly, you hat come here and make
much laughing Many peoples hafe came
here also to hear your speakings. They
spend much money with me and my place
is known we'll Mister Field. you owe me

wiped the slate clean.

Fritz? You and ! are square, said Field.
"Tt is just So returned the proprietor
fervidly.
Well. Fritz It Is usual when gentle
man settles a bill for the house to treat.
What will you have, boys?
"And, grnning broadly at the Joke.
Field cordially waved the crowd up to the
bar in honor of the payment OF his bill"

Preparations are being made to start up
the woven wire machines, which will
probably be done in the next few days.
The outputs of the rod. nail and wire de-

is operating night and day with the ex-
ception of Saturday night and Sunday
when it is closed down in order to give
the men a days rest.
The finished products of the plant are
being shipped away in large quantities
and several car loads are sent out a
daily. The greater part of the steel bill
let's consumed in the mill is shipped from
the steel plant of the Alabama Steel and
Wire company at Gadsden.
The indications are that the rod mill will
be in continuous operation for several
months as it is understood that 1t has
large number of orders on 1t books for
future delivery.
The Empire Plows works is running one
OF its departments on full time filling
the orders to be delivered for the fall

busiest of the year with this industry as
nearly all the farmers buy their agricul-
