Once more the civilized world
celebrates the natal day of the
Father of his Country. Once
more the theme of his great
ness is on all tongues, and the
story of his great deeds in lib

old story, bat ever filed with
interest for the human ear.
There are some themes that are
never worn out, some heroes
whose fame grows brighter
With each rpceding year. So it
is with our Washington. Who
does not revere his name2 In
what laud is his memory for
gottens With the few great fig

whose greatness was untarnish-

love of glory, that of our hero
of heroes shines most resplend-

services to his couDtry that en-

BUYING RAILS.
Thousands OF Tons Bought
While Prices Are Down
Green's Big Order.

St Louis, MO-, FEB. r.
The collapse of the Steel Trust
and the consequent decline in
the prices of steel rails to $17
per ton has already begun to
exert a stimulating influence
on the iron and steel indust-
ries. The St Louis agents of
the Carnegie Company and
the Illinois Steel Company are
keeping the wires hot closing
deals.
The Missouri, Kansas &
Texas Railway Company heads
the list with an order for 10,
600 tons steel rails placed with
the Carnegie Steel Company.
This means 100 miles of new
track somewhere between here
and Galveston and steady EN-
ployment for hundreds of men
for months to come.
The Frisco people also
awaited themselves of the op
portunity offered by the pre-
vailing low prices of rails and
placed an order with the ILL
nois Steel Company for 5000
tons. The Missouri Pacific
fell into line with an order Tor
5000 tons and news from Tex
as says that Z. H. R. Green
of the Texas Midland has just
closed a deal for 10000 tons.
There is particular significance
in MIR. Green's purchase as it
means not repairs, but exten
sions. The greater part of the
Texas Midland track has been
recently laid, so that if Mr..
Green's new rails are put
down anywhere they must go
to extending his line.
To a friend who arrived from
Texas Mr.. Green admitted
that he intended to use the
rails just ordered in building
more road. His extension will
doubtless be TO Dallas and
from there south.
President Conner of the Dial
las Terminal Railway arrived
in this city yesterday. He is
in the market for 5000 tons of
rails. The agents of both the
Carnegie and the Illinois com
panies are reticent as to what
orders they have placed further
than those above noted, but it
is known that together they
have received orders Tor 80,
900 tons to be laid in the i'm
mediate vicinity of St. Louis.
