BANKHEAD ON THE
 WAY ID WASHING TON Says He Will Support Railway . Rate Reform Bill THINKS ONE WILL PASS
Hopes Public Building Bill Will Be Enacted-says Situation in Sixth District is Satisfaotory-Date
 of Primary Election There.

Col. John II. Bankhead, the representa- tive in Congress from the Sixth district, was in Birmingham yesterday, on the way to Washington where he goes this morn- ing to attend the session of Congress
 "I am inclined to think" said Colonel Bankhead, that railway rate reform bill will be passed al this session of Con- gress. It hardly needs to be added that 1 shall support any reasonable measure intended to correct existing evils in rail way freight rate schedules. My record on that question, as evidenced by votes in Congress, leaves no room to doubt that I shall support vigorously any and every intelligent effort that is made to root out abuses of this kind wherever they may be found to exist
 "ln spite of the fact that no rivers and harbors bill will be passed at this session, I am hopeful that public building bill will be enacted into law. In case one is so enacted I shall see to it that our inter ests here in Alabama, so far as lies in my power, are protected and promoted. .
 How are things over in the Sixth dis trict?" was asked
 In the Sixth District
 "The situation is satsfactory-yes sat- isfactory," said Colonel Bankhead. That's all I care to say on the sub 1ect."
 It was said yesterday that the primary election in the Sixth district might be held in April instead of in August. Though Colonel Bankhead would make no sign on the subject, it Is understood that his friends are in favor of an April primary in case the governorship primary is held in August. Captain Hobson is on record as favoring an April primary. The Bank head people, it is said, propose to call Captain Hobson on that proposition. In doing so, they will, it is pointed out, be playing shrewd politics and for two req sons:
 1. Because Captain Hobson in an April prestige of the Conner candidacy so much as he would in case both elections were held at the same time.
 ?. Because, in case of an early primary young men who have become eligible voters in the last two years would not be able to vote, and as Captain Hobson relies greatly upon the younger vote, an early primary would thus help Colonel Bankhead.
 The congressional committee in the Sixth district will not meet until after the state committee meets. It is said that Colonel Bankhead's friends on the con gressional committee will strive to have the congressional primary on a date diff ferent from that of the state primary.

LARGE DEMAND IN SIGHT

The iron market, which has been firm but quiet for some time past, at s14.5O for No. ? foundry, is now showing decided signs of activity Inquiries are brisk this week and some good sales have been made in Birmingham within the past few days. An active buying movement is due before the middle of the month.
 Rogers. Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati report Df yesterdays date follows:
 After the quletness of the past three weeks the new year starts off with re- markable promise. Locally, business has mot shown any marked change, the gen. eral run of inquiries and sales maintaining the same level as in the recent past. In other districts however, there has de- Neloped an unusual ren of inquiry which, while not entirely unexpected, has been surprising-on account of the large ton nage involved.
 The blowing out of two leading mer- chant furnaces in the central west will, for the next six weeks, cut large figure and very senslbly influence market condi- tions in that territory. The filled order books of furnaces generally, the inquiry ueNSiopeu loi Hoai py 1iiu o4N'0i''Se' W cry, and the delayed winter with it's at tendant adverse conditions. all serve to make stronger than ever the start of 1906 sn the trade.

 Prominent Men.

A number of important matters came before the board of directors of the Com mercial club at the meeting yesterday af- ternoon in the new quarters in the Thom- as building.
 Great interest was taken in the mat ter of deciding upon site for the erec- ton of Vulcan. A number of plans were mentioned by which the sight might be chosen, but 1t was finally decided to take no definite action until the funds sub- seribed have been substantially collected, and the money is actually In hand. It was agreed that it would be most ad- vantageous first to collect the money sub scribed, after which the site could be de- eided upon, and plans selected for the pedestal. This matter will be arranged by the time the succeeding smoker of the organization is given
 Master Painters.
 The meeting voted unanimously to co- operate in every way with the local or ganization of the Master Painters asso- citation in arranging for the reception and entertainment of the delegates to the con venton which will be held in this city February 1S to 16
 A delegation from the painters asso- citation was in attendance at the meeH ing and William Spencer read a paper in- forming the meeting of the plans of the local branch. MT. Spencer stated that there had been much difficulty experi- enced in arranging for rooms for the 150O delegates who will be present and asked particularly that the Commercial club as- sist in housing the strangers.
 It was explained to the meeting that the members of this organization are men of standing and importance in their sey- eral communities, fnany of them being wealthy and some being at the head of large manufacturing establishments. It was decided that letters be addressed to each member of the Commercial club, asking personal cooperation In caring for the visitors and the opinion was expressed that in this way many of the delegates would be given quarters in private resi- dences. It was also decided that com mittees be appointed from the Commer- cial club to work with the local master painters in completing their plans for the convention

Matthew Addy & Co. s Cincinnati report for the week ending today says:
 The new year begins with every branch of the iron trade rushed to it's full capac- tty. In all directions business is being done at flood tide, so to speak. The fur naces were never in better shape. Their order books are full and the prices are good Fortunately. the prices while good are fair They are not so high as to any way embarrass industry, for they leave the consumer an entirely satlsfac- tory margin of profit. The consumer is also full of work, and there Is plenty more in prospect in the immediate future. While the past year has been profitable the outlook for 1906 is all that could be desired. So the year begins with both producer and consumer in highly satis- factory frame of mind.
 New business this week has not been of great volume as the buying has been on a minor scale though there has not been lacking what might be called a fine scattering trade.
 There are several large inquiries on the market and as the supply of iron for the early months of the year that is available is extremely limited, a smart buying movement would soon put the furnaces out of business. The best posted dronmasters are all expecting before long an advance in price Quotations are firm, and have an upward tendency.
 Coke has not followed the expected course. The fine open weather has all lowed the coke ovens to run full, and the railroads to handle shipments to better advantage than was anticipated So while in some districts the car situation is very bad, yet there is more coke to be had than was counted on, and conse- quently prices are not as firm or as high as would otherwise have been the case. But of course the winter is not over as a matter of fact it has not begun. and the consumer who lets his coke pile run low is taking a decided risk.

"Whereas engineers of ability and re- pute have heretofore examined the natural topography of the land and the sources, direction and volume of existing waterways flowing into and connecting with the Tennessee river at or near Gun tersville, Ala, and the main body of the Warrior river, also in said state; and. af- ter such careful examination have de- clared that they believed a praetica ble and navigabe connection could be made at moderate cost, between the naviga ble waters of said rivers; and whereas, ii is also believed that such connection could b. so constructed as to naturally and feasibly pass through the heart of the mineral section of Alabama near the city of Birmingham in said state and where as, such navigable connection between the said Tennessee and Warrior rivers would be of vast benefit and advantage from A national standpoint, and to the imm edi- ately concerned industries and develop ment of Alabama, Tennessee and those portions of North Carolina and Virginia lying on the headwaters of the Tennes- see river and also to all of the cities, towns and country having access to the lower Tennessee.
