LACKAWANA CO. BUILDS AMERICAN
 RADIATOR PLANT Contract Let for Big Struct- ure Which Will En-
 pl0y 300 Men
PLANT REGARDED OF
 SPECIAL IMPORTANCE
The Business Men Here Have Long Been Eager for All Kinds of Plants That Will Consume
 the Local Iron

The Lackawanna Bridge company re- ceived yesterday contract for the erec- ton of the American Radiator plant at
 Acipco. which is within the city limits of Birmingham. Announcement to this effect was received here yesterday from the bridge companys offices in Chicago, where the bids were opened The con tract price for the work was not made known.
 In this city, however, the plant is said to represent an investment of approxi- mately s3Oo,0o0 and may reach higher figure than that before completion. The company to erect the building engages itself to complete the work on or before January l, 1913. It is announced that engineers for the Lackawanna Bridge company will be here within short time to start the preliminary work on the structure. About 200 men will be engaged in the construction work, while 300 men will be employed when the plant is in operation.
 1t is considered that an ordinary city block is only 400 feet long, the magni- ture of the building can be better under stood. The building will be 250 feet wide and will be separated into tie various foundry rooms and finishing rooms re- quired in the manufacture of iron radia- tors

Of Special Importance

 The letting of the contract for the new
 radiator plant has been expected here for some time. In industrial circles the new plant is of special importance. It Is one of the smaller plants that Birmingham wants badly to diversity it's industries
 and make the district independent of any
 one concern for prosperity.
 The company has been here for several years Operations are now going on at the leased plant, located at First ave- nue near Sloss furnace. This plant has
 been entirely satisfactory to the company from an experimental viewpoint. How ever as the company has been so suc-
 cessful here, the officials have not hes-
 tated to establish a permanent and eff cent plant here.
 The American Radiator company off cials in Chicago gave out the informa- ton that Birmingham had in every way measured up to their expectations when the preliminary plant was leased here and operations begun. They said that the Panama canal and the country to be opened up by 1t was not the greatest mag net that drew the operation here On the
 other hand, they said that Birmingham of fered fertile field within radius of 200 miles and that iron could be secured here at such an attractive figure that opera tons and cost of production were ac- cordingly reduced to a great extent Moreover. the officials asserted that the south was blossoming out and all the better homes were asking for radiators ra f,trn nd ofb aEb a of heating. Again. they said, the erec- tion here of new office buildings and the great work going on in every section ad- jacent to Birmingham made it entirely likely that all the goods they could make
 here would find an easy sale and ready
 market.
 Also Has Sales Rooms
 The company has not only begun phy- sical operations in this city but has opened
 sales rooms where quite large number of salesmen make their headquarters.
 The plant at Acipco, near North Bir- mingham. it is said, will be enabled to
 double the old tonnage of the plant That
 will call for twice as much iron as has been used heretofore and more workmen
 The general situation Is such as to cause
 intense qualification among the business men of Birmingham and others who are
 looking for that day when Birmingham
 will be the home of every kind of plant using iron
 It was announced here yesterday, in
 addition to the contract letting, that Pres
 ident Hill of the company and a few
 officials would be in Birmingham within
 a few days to look over the general sit uation. The company has been enabled to get all cooperation needed from the city and citizens in the construction of the plant at Acipeo.

 We have adopted a plan," said MT Weatherly. whereby the city may be

 Tn this statement I reaffirm what I said yesterday to the effect that nc | reorganization of any department is contemplated. The employees of the city hall may be at ease on that score have been told today that the city employees have been restless on account of these rumors.
 MT. Weatherly is in charge of the department of electricity, fire and plumbing while MT Exum Is away, ir addition to the streets. He was asked pointedly yesterday If any changes were to be made in those several de- partments and said, no without hes itation However. it Is said that Com missioner Lane contemplates reductions in the sanitary department on small scale. The season for some diseases is

Acreage is Reduced.

Reports received by local grain
companies suggest the grain area
in the central Idaho and adjacent
eastern Washington sections will
be from Is to 20 per cent below
that of last year. This is partial
ly due to the prolonged rains in
the prairie country, but the de-
sire of the farmers to rest their
soil has been an important factor
in reducing the grain cultivation.
For the past three years the high
grain prices have resulted in the
farmers devoting the largest pos
sible acreage to the growing
of wheat, oats and barley, and a
rest for the soil in many sections
is now needed.
The development of the dairy
industry and the growing of corn
for hogs have made profitable
the growing of forage crops on
the summer fallow land and in
many instances the farmer has
reaped larger returns fir ON this
vocation than from the land upon
which grain has been grown.
Large areas of summer fallow
land in all sections of the upper
will this year be planted
to such crops and with the heavy
importations of dairy stock, the
view is generally held that more.
attention will be given to summer
following, which carries with it
dairy operations and
greater attention to the restora-
ton of the soil.
In sections of the prairie coun-
try statement is made that not
more than so per cent of the
crop is seeded and with unfavor-
able weather prevailing, it will
be several days at least before
the spring work can be resumed.
Heavy rains have been expert
enced during the past few days
in all sections of the upper coun-

Call Grand Jury for Nez Perez
County This Fall.

Judge Edgar C. Steele gave
notice in chambers yesterday i'm
mediately after disposing of the
habeas corpus proceedings in the
case of the state vs.. Charles and
Frank Davis, that he would call
a grand jury to sit for Nez Perez
county about the first Monday in
September that is, for that date
if he can arrange for the post
ponement of the Idaho county
term of court which is scheduled
to convene August &c until some
time in October and hold court
here instead of at the earlier
date, thus transferring the date
originally set for court to convene
here to Idaho county. 1t will be
so arranged that no interference
will result to the court terms in
Lewis and Clearwater counties
as originally set. In transferring
the court here to an earlier date
than has been set, it was the
courts intention to avoid all pos
sible conflict with the fall cleo
ton in this county, and at the
same time he took cognizance of
the fact that it may be necessary
to alter his plans owing to the
harvesting season being on in
force in Idaho county.
The grand jury will be called
to sit in Lewiston to probe every
county and city office, the court
stated, and to carry on full in
vestigation of the alleged viola
tons of the local option law.
''You may say for me-" Judge
Steele said just before leaving
the city for Grangeville, where
he will convene court this morn
ing, that no stone will be left
unturned to bring about a change
of conditions in Nez Perez county
if the violations of the law heard |
about are actually occurring.
And further, you may say that
persons coming before the court
and being convicted upon the
charge of bootlegging will be
dealt with accordingly. Instead
of imposing a fine and not a Jail
sentence, both of these will be
and in either case the
will not be considered"
In this connection Judge Steele
stated that at the term of the
Latah county district court ended
last week, he had six bootlegging
cases before him in which the de-
PENDANTS were proven guilty, and
in each a sentence to fine and
Imprisonment was imposed.

Mostly the visitors are those either
directly interested in the automobile
business or those OF a mechanical
t~inclination who are DESTROYS of seeing
the many wonderful machines that
serve in the modern automobile fac
tory.
AS has = been said, the automobile
industry is so young, that it is still
a mystery to most persons. Those
who looked askanCe at the horseless
carriage a decade ago., look with the
same hesitancy and ~incredulity at the
multitude OF machines, unfamiliar to
them, that steadily spin out the parts
Of an automobile.
While ar automobile nowadays is
such a common sight that ever the
unsophisticated country nag is
familiar with it and no longer pricks
up it's ears when passed by a car, yet
to most the many steps by which the
completed car actually assumes its
+shape are as mysterious as the EN-
balming of an Egyptian mummy.

pens hat as many as a hundred of
such visitors are found at the Ford
factory at one time. g.
It is to accommodate these visitors
that the guide service is established.
The guides are as thoroughly familiar
with the points of interest in the fac
tory and "a describe them with a
great deal more accuracy than can
the venerable conductors who prey
upon suspecting tourists in the Alps
and elsewhere.
AS they lead visitors through the
factory they explain just what each
machine they pass is doing n where
each part in the making will be found
in the finished car. They point out
the machines that do the work former
ly done by scores of men as, for in
stance, a huge foul way drill that
bores forty-five holes in a cylinder
casting in exactly one n one-half
minutes. Then they show where the
parts are being assembled, where the
cars are being put together, the de-
partment where the motors are tested,
point out the testing yard, and bring
the visitor or visitors back to the
administration building.
When the visitors leave the factory
they have acquired a pretty concrete
idea of how a motor car is built.

the English builders have been unusu-
ally late announcing their models this
year and that a review OF these mod
els does not show any startling
changes but rather improvements
oyer their present models.
An authority quoted by Dickson on
the decrease in six cylinder cars says:
Undoubtedly the lack Of popularity
in connection with the six cylinder
cars is due to the improved control
ability and silence of the four cyIin-
der models which meet in every way
the requirements of the average mo-
torist."

DISCUSSES The
OLYMPIA SHOW

George NJ, Dickson, general manager
of the National Forty Co. of Ipdianap-
oils calls attention to n feature
that is in evidence at the Olympia
automobile show just closed at Lon
don, namely, that the six cylinder
cars are on the decline. Judging from
authentic reports which Dickson has
received from this exhibit Of cars
made in Great Britain, France, Ger
many, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland
and Holland, the six cylinder a is
is not as popular now as IA pre-
dicted it would be a year or two ago.
A reliable authority says: The
six cylinder car has lost somewhat as
compared with 1912. The list shows
one or two concerns that have dis
continued six cylinder construction,
notably Adams, Standard and Crowdy.
There are less six cylinder models
this year than last" says Dickson. He
also calls attention to the fact that

cept to those actively engaged in auto

day at the factories that it is neces-
sary to employ a number Of persons

are in Detroit. At the factory of the
