NEW HOTEL FOR RHlNELANDER

The business man met last
Thursday evening and discussed
the ACCESSIBILITY of erecting a new
hotel. Much enthusiasm was dis
played and there seemed to be a
united feeling that this city must
have new building at any cost.
A committee of FIVE was ap
pointed to canvass the business
men and see how much can be
raised to form stock company.
Many valuable suggestions were
given which will be of value to
the committee and promoters in
developing their work, The slo
gan seems to be RhineIander must
have new hotel. H. J. Helm Of
Wausau was present and boosted
tor the proposition. Mr.. Helm has
had many years experience as a
hotel man. = Rhinelander New
North.
To the travelling public the
above announcement will sound
good, but its realization will be en-
loyed far greater. A city the size
of Rhinelander can easily support
frst-class hotel, and all will be
pleased to see new hotel complet-
ed soon.

IRON MERGER RUMORS
 ARE AGAIN IN THE AIR

returned to this country. He is now in New York and the fact that he is short ly to pay another visit to Birmingham causes a revival of the merger talk. Mr Grenfell is accompanied to the United States by his wife, who is Lady Lillian, a sister of the Duke of Marlboro; and according to present plans Lady Lillian will accompany her husband to Birming- ham. It Is understood that they will re- main here a week or more.
 Reverting to the merger project, man prominent In financial and industrial cir cles said last night: My prediction is that the Republic Iron and Steel, the Wood ward Iron company, the Sloss-Sheffield. the Southern Iron and Steel, the Alabama Consolidated. the Birmingham Coal and Iron the Pratt Consolidated Coal com pany, and the cast iron pipe plants at North Birmingham will be merged Into one great corporation In the not far dis tant future. And when this takes place practically all the pig iron made in the Birmingham district will be turned into the finished product. Of course, such a merger would mean another big steel mill for the district. The Southern Iron and Steel company has already a steel plant at Gadsden, but there will be room for more"

NIGHT CREWS BUS TON
 NIGHT CREWS BUSY ON

The work of constructing the Birming- ham Belt railroad down Twenty-seventh street has reached Twelfth avenue and Twenty-seventh street.
 All of yesterday passengers through Norwood were required to transfer at Twenty-seventh street to another car be- cause of the work of excavating going on under the bridge spanning the street. The work was carried on all during last night and will be continued at night un- til the task Is completed
 The contractors have a steam shovel and a string of cars running all the time removing the hundreds of yards of dirt which Is necessary to build the railroad down Twenty-seventh street.
 It is expected that the work will be almost completed and trains operating by December 15. The work is being per- formed by the Illinois Central railroad for the Birmingham Belt. When completed the two companies and the Frisco will use it for passenger trains into the Ter minal. In this way the dangers exist ing from crossings on Tenth avenue will be overcome.

 The stockholders expressed themselves being well satisfied with the results. They felt that the building had met with sufficient approval to warrant the great additional amount that was spent in beautifying 1t and equipping 1t with every modern convenience, making 1t equal to the finest office building In the south, and as handsome architecturally as any in the country.

The recent advance in s-Sheffield stock Is attributed in financial circles to rumors of a probable merger of the independent iron companies of the Bir- mingham district President J. c. Ma ben of the sloss-sheffield, when asked yesterday if he had any statement to make concerning a merger project, re- piled that no negotiations had taken tan gible shape
 "A plan of consolidation of certain of the independent companies might be worked out to the mutual advantage of the interests concerned" said MT. Ma ben. but so far as I know the merger scheme is only in the rumor stage"
 Cecil Grenfell, the London banker, who is practically the managing director of the Southern Iron and Steel company, is known to be in favor of merger that would include his concern, the Sioss- Sheffield and several other companies. He spent some time here during the past summer, looking Into the condition of the Southern Iron and Steel company. He went back to England but recently

TWO CONVENTIONS
 LOST ID THIS CITY
Lack of Hotel Facilities Given
 As Reason
WOULD BRING OVER 5000
Baracas and Passenger Agents Decide That Recommendations in Birming- ham Are Not Sufficient for
 the Crowds

The national convention of Baracas, a Baptist organization which had prac- tically decided to meet in Birming- ham next year. has decided that in- adequate hotel facilities prevented their meeting here and Kansas City has been selected instead.
 The American Railway Passenger Agents association. which was almost committed to assemble In this city next year, also passed Birmingham up for the same reason.
 This was the statement of Hugh F. Latimer. who endeavored to get both associations here and had al- most succeeded when he was asked about hotel accommodations The Ba- racas bring about 250o delegates be- sides about the same number of vis- itors. The other association also brings a great crowd. MT Latimer said yesterday:
 tThe Baracas and the passenger agents combined would have brought at least 5000 persons to Birmingham. This number cannot now be accom- odated properly with the hotels in this city. The people attending the two meetings require frst-class stopping places and l did not believe that this city was ripe for such responsibilities The committee from this city had in- duced the Baraca convention to de- eide in favor of Birmingham. However, when we were quizzed closely in re- gard to hotels we were forced to ad- nit that 1t would be a difficult mat ter to handle such a large crowd here as it should be handled. In the case of other large gath erings homes have been opened and the crowds handled in that way. But these two conven- tions would not consider any such pro- posals.
 Tt was very embarrassing for ma and the other members of the commit tee to confess that our great and grow ing city had not sufficient hotel fla cilities to accommodate the visitors We bragged very much over our town, but that one insignificant question about hotels tied us up so closely thatl 1t was impossible to argue further.
 "The passenger agents will go to| some town In Florida while the Baracas will go to Kansas City. If Birmingham will build hotel sufficient to accom- modate the visitors the two conven- tions that have been forced to refuse Birmingham will be glad to come here in 1911 Until we do get more ana better hotel facilities it will be folly to exepct big conventions to come here"
