Railroad Removes 550,000 Cubic
Yards of “Refuse” Which
Now Has Value of Iron.
BIRMINGHAM, Dec. 13.—Slag,
refuse from blast iron furnaces
which has been accumulating in va
rious parts of the Birmingham dis
trict where there are blast iron fur
naces for the last 20 to 30 years, is
rapidly being removed and used for
road work and other purposes. It
is figured that within three to five
years the present stacks will have
been removed and the daily output of
the product be in great demand.
The slag pile of the Sloss-Sheffield
Steel and Iron Company, in the city
of Birmingham property, has been
cut down and removed entirely since
June 1. 550.000 cubic yards of the slag
being removed and used on the new
double track of the Ixiuisville and
Nashville Railroad, between Birming
ham and Nashville.
Five to six years ago the slag was
looked upon as a mass of useless
stuff and apprehension was felt as lu
how to get rid of it. The space taken
up grew and valuable sites were cov
ered. as property began to improve in
this neighborhood. The Birmingham
Slag Company purchased the slag
piles, put steam shovels to work,
found uses for the product, such as
ballasting by railroads, manufacture
of cement and road building through
the country, etc., until to-day the
product is almost as valuable as iron.

“The Blue Rose
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13.—A great
hotel, “The Inside Inn, ” containing
I 1,800 rooms and equipped with every
j modern luxury and convenience, will
be erected within the exposition
grounds.
The rates to be charged by this ho
tel will be from $1 to $3 per day. It
will be built and managed by private
parties as a concession, but the ex
position directors, by the terms of the
concession, will have a voice in the
lixing of the rates to be charged. -
This mammoth hotel was finally de
cided upon yesterday by tlie direct..-rs
of the Panama-Pacific Exposition.
Fair Treatment Assured.
This hotel is San Francisco’s guar
antee—and tne guarantee of the Pan
ama-Pacific directors—that the thou
sands of gueBts who will crowd into
this city exposition will be accorded
fair treatment in the matter of hotel
accommodations and rates.
Already 186 conventions are booked
to come to San Francisco during the
year 1915. The officials having these
conventions in charge already ar<
seeking reservations and demanding
to know in advance the rates to be
charged. The exposition directo***,
after three months of negotiations
with the hotel managers of San Fran j
cisco, have been unable to come to
any agreement as to reservations and
the rates to be charged during 1915 by
the hotels in this city.
Decide on Drastic Step.
Failing in their efforts to reach an
agreement by which they could guar
antee reasonable rates to visitors to
San Francisco in 1915, the exposition
directors decided to take the drastic
step already outlined by providing for
the erection of a magnificent hotel,
which will at least provide accommo
dations for the delegates to the 186
conventions already booked for this
city during the exposition year.
In providing for the erection of this
hotel the exposition directors believe
that they have removed the one and
| only obstacle that threatened the suc
cess of the exposition.
Wanted Decision on Rates.
As long ago as last August a joint
meeting of the exposition direc
tory and hotel men was held.
The exposition directors at that
time requested that the hotel met:
decide upon the rates to be charged
io exposition visitors, and also to
guarantee that a ceriain percentage r.f
the rooms would be reserved for tne
use of the delegates to the many con
ventions that had accepted the citv's
invitation to attend conventions in
San Francisco in 1915.
The hotel men refused to come t:>
^ny agreement.

| MADISON WIS. Dec. L?.—"The
j newspaper style, w hich is becoming
! more and more essential in the equip-
S nunt of every successful writer, is the
clearest, most concise and most inter
esting style In which things can be
written." declared Professor F. W.
Beckman, of Iowa State College*, in
addressing the American conference
of teachers of Journalism.
“It has been hammered out in the
heat and stress of newspaper work to
meet the demands of the millions for
; something to compel their attention,
! interest them and give them informn-
i lion iu the quickest, clearest way pos-
' siblc.
The ranks of present-day literary
successes are filled with men and
women who had their training in the
newspaper office. The demand of
editors and publishers everywhere is
for matter written in the same clear,
concise, interesting way that has
made the American newspaper the
most readable publication printed,
either to-day or in any time.”
