NEW STEEL MERGER

New York, December 2-(Special.)-Esver since the Replogle syndicate acquired a large interest in the Cambria Steel com pany, rumors have been current that eff forts were being made to combine large independent steel companies in the United States. It will now have to be admitted that these rumors are well founded, and that an announcement bear ing upon a proposed merger of four steel companies may be forthcoming in the near future.
 The independent steel companies in- volved include the Cambria Steel com pany, Lackawanna Steel company, Youngstown Sheet and Tube company and the Inland Steel company. Whether or not the interests identified with the pro- posed consolidation will be able to put through the transaction Is another ques- ton, but it is known that active nego- tiations are now under way.
 Several large financial institutions in New York are identified with the pro- posed enterprise, and will handle the un- derwriting if the merger can be ar ranged.
 The four companies involved are among the largest and most prosperous indepen- dent steel companies in the country. The annual ingot capacity. of the four com cerns, in tons follows: ,a

Hotel for Robertsdale

Bay Minctte, December 2.-(Speeial) ) Word has been received from Roberts dale to the effect that the merchants and business men of that place have completed arrangements for the erec- tion of fine new hotel on the main street of that place and that the actual work on the hotel will be started with Tn a short time, the site having been the drawback up to the present time. The merchants feel that when the road has been built across the delta of the Tensaw river, more adequate hotel ac- commodations will be needed to prop erly care for the tourists and they are taking time by the forelock and mak- ing the preparations in plenty of time so as to be in on the ground floor when the cross-county travelling is be- gun. There is so little doubt but that the bond issue for the road will pass that other merchants in other towns will soon follow the example set by the Robertsdale people.

RAILWAY ECONOMIES

Chicago. December 2.-(Special )-Louis D. Brandeis' scientific management" scheme for saving the railroads $1,O00,- 600 day pale into insignificance when compared with what the roads have act ually accomplished by their own eff ciency and to save themselves from bankruptcy, according to the Railway Age Gazette, which publishes in it's cur rent issue a compilation to show the enormous economies the railroads have effected in recent years by increasing their average loads per freight train.
 "One of the most effective ways of improving railroad efficiency, says the Railway Age Gazette, lis to increase the number of tons of freight per train" :" It then shows that out of 35 important roads whose annual reports for the fiscal year 1915 are available, 2s have succeeded in increasing their trainload as compared with the previous year, in spite of declin- ing freight traffic. bringing the average for the 35 roads from 4S2 tons in 1914 up to 504 tons in 1915. or a gain of 22 tons. and that the railroads of the United States as whole increased their average trainload of freight from 179.8 tons in 1884, to 307.S tons in 1904 and 451.S in 1914.
 "In other words,' the Railway Age Ga- zette says, ''to have handled the traffic of 1914 with the average train of 1894 would have required running 1,6 0,O00, 900 train miles instead of 63sO0 ,O00," or 150 per cent more than the train mileage act ually run in 1914. Even the average loading of 307.S tons in 1904 would have required running 936,000,0O0 train miles in 1914 instead of 6SS,000,0O0. Tn 1894 the railroads of the United States handled SC. 1885, 0000,O00 tons of freight one mile and in 1914 total of 28S, ,319, 100000 tons one mile. This Is an increase of 259 per cent, but it was handled with only 42 per cent more train miles. The 1914 ton mileage represents an increase of 65 per cent ovdf that of 1904, which was 174, 522, 900, 000, but it required an increase of only 12.5 per cent in train miles,

In most of the large cities of our
land today the visiting nurses associa-
ton holds an annual Tag Day." the
proceeds being used to carry on the
work of these nurses among the poor
and destitute. Brookings has no visit
ing nurses association, but the hos
pital must do, and is glad to do, some
free work, as all hospitals are expect
ed to do. Why should not the hospital
have an annual Tag Day? A small
amount from a great many people
burdens no one, and yet nets a nice
sum for the hospital needs. The hos
pital is anxious not to weary its pa
irons by too frequent appeals, yet the
fact remains that there are very few
hospitals which are self-supporting
until they are endowed. For the gen.
erous response to the appeal Of last
Fr'day-again we thank you.
