Come Here for Good Engines.

The Canadian Pacific Railway company
has placed orders for thirty or forty new
locomotives with several Of the leading
States: This is the first large order for
locomotives that the Canadian Pacific
has placed outside Canada for many
years. 1t has been the policy Of the COM
pany in the past to turn out the engines
required on it's line from its own shops.
Some time ago all the machinists in the
employ of the company from Fort Will
liam to the Pacific went out on strike
because the officers Of the company re-
fused to recognize their labor union. With
the exception of it's repair shops. it is
understood that the company will close
all its locomotive shops and in future or

FIGHT TICKET sCALPING.
Senator Depew Is Expected to Put "a
bill Through.


CHICAGO, Oct 17.-George Ii. Daniels,
the veteran passenger agent of the New
York Central, declares the war against
ticket scalping will be renewed in the
next congress. If Mr.. Daniels does not
want to prejudice his case he will not
call as witnesses some Of the passenger
officials of Western lines, who are now
using scalpers as their agents, and pay
ing them regular commissions on the sale
of tickets.
The lower house of congress has twice
passed an anti-scalping bill, but the SEN
ate either could not or would not take
action. Mr.. Daniels believes that Senator
Depew will be able to secure the passage
of an anti-scalping bill by the senate.
Local ticket scalpers say they have no
fear that any attempts to legislate them
out of business will be successful, for
the simple reason that too many of the
railroads have need of the brokers. 'Ev-
erybody knows that the ticket brokers
would be broke in thirty days if the
railroads united to drive us out of bust
ness said a Clark street broker yester-

From the Mobile Register.

From the Mobile Register.
Birmingham, Ala, is having another
boom. This was to be expected by those
who understood the situation. Birmdng-
ham mas made her progress by a series oil
leaps, and after each one There has been
a large number of spectators left with the
bag to hold. After each leap there came
period Of comparative dullness, rents de-
creased and property values fell off from
the extraordinarily high figures they mad
reached But the close 0f each period
showed that tine city as a whole had made
a material progress Now, Birmingham Is
taking another stride, and upon dirmer
financial basis than ever before. The iron
Industry of Alabama is upon a sure foot
ing Alabama iron sets the price for the
Industrial world. The resources of the MIN
eral region have scarcely been touched as
yet, and the capitalists of the country have
learned that there they must seek invest
ment We took for steady advance, and
a firm determination on the part of The
Birmingham people to discourage wild
speculation. In this way, tine evils of over
expansion, or rather premature expansion,
can be avoided.

Richmond Torpedo Boat.

Today the first southern built vessel of
the new navy will be launched at Rich
mand, Va. 1t will be but a torpedo boat
the Shubrick; and President Mckinley will
be present to assist in the launching of the
boat
While the boat is not as large as a battle
ship, yet the construction of fast tor
pedo boat is not light task. 1t taxes the
capacity of any shipy ard, and Riehmond's
yard is new. 1t now has three shipyards,
and there is in the ancient city an ambition
and desire to become a shipbuilding center.
The building of the Shubrick was under
taken in order to show the world what
Richmond, an iron center could do. The
government reluctantly awarded the con-
tract to the bidders from Richmond, and
now that the boat is in a fair way to be
completed within the time and terms of the
contract, President Mckinley leaves his
many duties to witness it's launching.
1t is believed that the southern-built
3aubrick will prove fully equal in speed and
other good qualities to the rest of the
torpedo fleet. And what Richmond is
doing, Mobile should do. Mobile should pull
itself together, and establish a plant that
can build cruiser. Marine work is not
sectional Every part of a cruiser can be
built in Alabama, if the government can
be induced to build here an armor plant
Mobiles opportunity will come if 1T will get
ready to bid for the building of the next
cruiser that is needed. Richmond underbid
the other shipbuilders, and Mobile can do
likewise, and make money even then. The
Shubrck as she slides into the water today
is an invitation to Mobile to get down to
hard work, to hump itself as it were for
