RAIL WAY MEMS EYES UPON BIRMINGHAM All Lines Want Their Share of
 Districts Tonnage BIG ORIENTAL TRADE General Agent Van Rensselaer, of tho Southern Pacific Says Maintenance
 of Open Door In Asia Is im-
 portant to Alabama.

F. J. Van Rensselaer, of Atlanta, gen- era1 agent of the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Oregon Short Line, Oregon Rail- road and Navigation company and the Mexican International railway, spent yes terday in Birmingham.
 In talking last night at tho Hillman of the importance of the Birmingham dis trct to the railway world. MT. Van Rens- selaer said;
 "The time Is not far distant--let us say ten years-when the Birmingham district will be equalled by no other industrial center except Pittsburg.
 Well informed persons confidently pre- dict that in the next decade Birmingham wil hold rank second to none among cities of it's kind on the continent.
 Among railway men throughout the country Birmingham holds position that is altogether enviable.
 'The enormous tonnage of the district at present Is only an indication of the wonderful development that Is to be re- corded here.
 Oriental Trade.
 "It is natural that with the opening up of oriental trade, the Mississippi IdllWdyS VIII bel db ciOseiy III IOuCn Wltn Birmingham as they possibly can. Already they are making every effort to get their share of the tonnage that annually goes out of this district to the far west and to Asiatic ports.
 'The far western states and Asiatic countries are large consumers of Ala bama's products, both mineral and tex tile. This trade will increase stupendously provided the policy of the open door in Asia is maintained. If China is permitted to boycott American goods, Alabama will be the first 10 suffer. and for the reasons I have stated, namely, that China is a large consumer of your textile and min eral products.
 Will Lead In Textiles.
 "It has been said that the Birmingham district can dictate the price of pig Iron throughout the earth. It may with equal truth be said that Alabama can within a few years dictate the price of manufac- tured cotton goods both at home and abroad. When this is done, as 1t will be done in the next ten or twenty years Birmingham will be the center from which will radiate a trade that will ex- tend to every point on the earth's cir conference.
 Close Railway Connections.
 with such a prospect 1t goes without saying that all railways will seek close connections with Birmingham and com pete keenly for It's constantly increasing tonnage. Already this is true Every railway man with a head on his shoul- ders has his eye on the Birmingham dis triet. Our lines have recently established offices here and we propose to make every effort to get our share of the trans continental trade that goes westward out of Birmingham.
