Struggle of the 7itanS
For The Golden Apples.

by the Frisco of property In the city and
between North Birmingham and Thomas
furnace; and, finally. the big deal for city
real estate which the Illinois Central is
reported to have made. These purchases
will total up more than 100000 on the
basis of present values, l think, and as
l have said, they have been made within
the past three or four years.
Now. what do they mean? Two things
First, that the railroads are una1terably
convinced that Birmingham Is to be a
great city and has acquired room for
yards and shops on a scale commensu-
rate with the magnitude of the city
which they have foreseen. Secondly, that
the railroads expect this growth to be
rapid, and have lost no time in prepar-
ing for It, And a thirdly might be add
ed. The railroads have been acting along
the lines of the advice which REALTY
has been giving Its readers, and have
bought this property ahead of the ad-
vance In prices, which Is certain to come
And IL you are familiar with the to-
Biography of the city and district you will
note another thing. All these purchases
cover points of vantage They have been
made as skillfully as the chief of engi-
neers Of an army selects the keys to his
works. They proclaim the acumen of
the railroads, and are interesting as ex-
pert expressions as to the dimensions
which Birmingham will assume in the
near future. This is just one part of the
story of the maneuverings of those Titans
to place themselves In positions where
they will be able to snatch the golden
apples as they fall from the Birmingham
tree. II the reasons and data upon which
the railroads acted In these purchases
could be laid bare, I do not doubt that

The development Of Birmingham as
railroad center is to me the most fasci-
mating of all the chapters in the chroni-
cles of the growth of the Magnet City"
said gentleman who is noted for the
clearness of his vision and the firmness
of his grasp of all matters which relate
to the Birmingham district.
II have often wondered that newspa-
per men have apparently overlooked such
a good story as they call it." he con-
tinued. do you remember the columns
of space which the newspaper and maya
zines of this country devoted to the eff
forts of the Wabash road to get into
Pittsburg, and the eager interest with
which the public followed the accounts
of this struggle? 1t was one of the very
best advertisements which Pittsburg ever
received. 1t opened the eyes of the peo-
pie of the whole country to the amazing
amount OF tonnage which originates in
Pittsburg and flows to 1t, and today
Pittsburg is generally regarded as
greater and more important city than
several others which exceed it In popula-
ton. Why? Simply because the public
has grasped the fact that the railroads
regard Pittsburg as a rich prize, worthy
of the utmost of their endeavors to seize
and hold.
THE BEST ADVERTISEMENT.
For that reason 1 believe that an ac-
count of what the railroads have been
doing and are doing in the way of ac-
curing property In the Birmingham dis
trict and in entrenching themselves at
the strategic points in 1t, will be read
with greater general interest and will
prove more impressive to the mass of
readers in the United States than all the

they would reveal some very interesting
things In connection with Birmingham;
but you may be sure that these facts and
figures will be safely kept in the ar
chives. 4l
TONNAGE THE INCENTIVE.
THE proportions of the new passenger
station are additional evidence of the re-
gard in which Birmingham is held by the
railroads. have reason to believe that
the structure will cost considerably more
than million dollars. The tonnage of
the Birmingham district is one of the
most magnificent harvests in the world
for the railroads. Already it is several
times greater than that of the entire cot
ton crop of the south, and it is growing
every year. In the course o. time 1t may
surpass that of Pittsburg. The railroads
fully appreciate the Importance of Biz
mingham and the world will accept their
estimate of the possibilities of the city,"
JUST A REMINDER.
REALTY agrees with the gentleman.
He is right as to the significance of rail-
road development in and around Birming-
ham. The railroads are grand factors in
the upbuilding of the district and taking
the history of their actions as a whole no
fair minded man will deny that they have
been good and loyal friends of the city.
They have been generous In the promo
ton of its Industries, and there has been
more than one time in the past when
but for their helping hand some of our
most important interests would have be-
come waterlogged or might even have
sunk in the storm which had burst upon
them.
Birmingham is secure on her foundation
now, but she should not forget what the
railroads have done for her
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1905-10-15

statistics as to the inexhaustible supplies
of iron ore and coal upon which the foun-
dations of this city rest. In the first
place, those data have been published SO
frequently that the edge of their signiff-
canoe has become blunted to a certain
extent. And then the figures are inter
esting only to those who are concerned
with industry and commerce. The public
as a whole does not appreciate their ire
mendous Importance. But when you be-
gin to talk about what the railroads are
doing In and for certain place the peo-
pie Immediately sit up and take notice;
for 1t is a. generally accepted fact that
railway managers are almost infallibe
judges of the importance of city and
can figure out it's future as easily as
boy does sum in elementary arithmetic
The building and management of rail-
roads has been reduced to an exact
science and the element of chance has
been practically eliminated. No extern
sion of lines or Improvement of facilities
Is made nowadays until results have been
carefully calculated.
MILLIONS IN REAL ESTATE.
Now. has it ever been suggested to
you that the railroads which enter Bir-
mingham have expended within the last
three or four years nearly three millions
of dollars In the acquisition of property?
Just run over in your mind the princely
holdings of the Southern on the Southside
and at North Birmingham; the large do
main of the Louisville and Nashville at
Boyles; that fine strip which the Ala
bama Great Southern took over from the
Mary Pratt furnace; the half million dol
lars which the Seaboard Air Line has ex-
pended for terminals; the large purchases
