AMORY GUEST Of
SCOTT MAXWELL
New England Mill Man Says
Business Situation Is
Clearing Up

Harcourt Amory. treasurer of the IN
dian Head Mills at Cordova, and also
treasurer of many important operations
in New England. was here yesterday with
Scott Maxwell Mr.. Amory is from Bos-
ton, and is here on a trip of inspec-
ton of the mills of the company located
at Cordova. Mr.. Amory was the guest of
Mr.. Maxwell at the Press club yester-
day. which he pronounced the most de-
lightful club he had visited in many years.
Mr.. Amory said that business was get
ting better from day TO day, and that it
was only question of a short time until
the entire situation was cleared up and
the proper volume of business started
to moving. He said that the Indian Head
mills were doing fairly well here. but that
at this time he did not think any addi-
ttions to the plant would be authorized al
though plans are always on hand.
I'VE have no plans right now to add to
our operations" said Mr.. Amory, speaking
of Cordova, but we always have things
in view whenever the time is ripe. | think
conditions are getting better, and if we
could only operate while without con-
tinual annoyance from lawmakers | be-
lieNe the prospects would be much bright
er However. with a constant and unceas-
ing session of Congress- there is sure
to be noticeable apprehension. Makers
cannot settle down. They can't tell what
will happen next. If Congress would ad-
journ | think the whole country would
be better off.
Birmingham. ii appears, is not lacking
in those activities that go to make up
splendid city. ] was here when pig iron
was selling for S. ton and less. TO see
the changes that have taken place since
that time is certainly enough to cause
optimism. This city ranks all over Amer
lea as one of the most progressive cities
i'm the United States. Your wonderful
advance in population and in other lines
has been enough to draw that attention
to YOU which spells advancement from
year to year. I am not a very frequent
visitor to Birmingham but keep up with
things here. and / am deeply interested |
sincerely trust Birmingham will continue
to better herself as / believe win be the
case"
Mr.. Amory left yesterday afternoon for
CordoVa, where he will make am inspec-
tion of the properties there before pro-
ceeding east again. He said that every
thing in connection with the operations
at Cordova were satisfactory, and that
the physical condition of the plant was
good.

MAN OF MYSTERY
OFFERS TOF|NANCE
NEW RODEN HOTEL
Air of Great Activity Yes
terday Among Those In
terested i'm the Big
Hotel Project

There arrived in Birmingham Yester-
day a visitor who announced to those
interested in the Roden hotel that lie
had the money TO finance that hosiery
and he proceeded to tell those inter
ested to get busy.
The result was magical. In few
minutes the plans of William c. Wes-
ton for the magnificent Roden had been
resurrested, hurried conferences were
being held. abbreviated plans ard
specifications had been tabooed end the
general air which has been bearish in
connection with the Roden assumed a
most decided bullish tone The entire
engineering and contracting world so
far as Birmingham is concerned knew
of the presence of the visitor in the
city and his announced intention of
financing the Roden and causing it to
be erected, sea food room and all The
most energetic efforts were put forth
by reporters to locate the visitor but
efforts were in vain. His identity was
safely protected by those into whose
hands he had fallen.
1t was even asserted by one of the
gentlemen interested in the reiinanc-
ing of the Roden That the new inter-
ests would pay off the Roden estate
bonds and start anew. 1t is presumed
that the Roden estate will not apply
for an injunction if that is determined
upon.
The general information is that per-
sons in Cincinnati having faith in Bir-
minaham and being familiar with some
of the difficulties surrounding the
Roden intend to refinance the hotel and
not cut down the first elaborate plans
made for the hotel In the opinion of
many the plans of william c. Weston
for the Roden could not be improved,
and 1T is those plans that the Cincinnati
interests want executed. None of those
closely allied with the Roden during
It's troubled career would talk last
night However, they all admitted the
presence in the city OF an agent for.
some Cincinnati interests.

Enable You 10 Eat Your Meals
without Suffering After
Doing So

Every person knows that to live in
healthy, happy manner we must eat.
Diet, starvation, predigested food etc.
are not the correct methods of eliminat-
ing digestion disorders.
Many dyspeptics know that they
must eat and so they go to their meals
IN a halfhearted manner When they
see food before them they are made
miserable. Their judgments tell them
to eat, but their stomachs revolt at the
foea and so whatever food they con-
tume does them more harm than good.

Our Next Governor

The State of Idaho needs a
chief executive of backbone and
executive ability-a man capable
Of looking into. details, of mas
tering them, and by such mas
terry, controlling the entire vast
complex machine of state.
Taxes must be reduced. In
dustry cannot stand under the
present tax burden; immigration
has ceased and the progress of
the state has been checked by the
ever-increasing tax rate.
The taxes demand a man of
action-and the man is here.
Hon. M. Alexander is one of those
rare business men, who, as pub
tic officials, treat the public bus
mess in the same successful man
