NEW UNION DEPOT
APPEARS TO VIEW
WORK DELAYED BY RAINS AND
INJuNcTioNs-NEW STATION TO
BE READY FOR TRAINS NEXT
JANUARY.

Instead of excavatlng dirt" said one OF
the contractors who has charge of the
Firth avenue subway work, at the new
union passenger station. II have been
pumping water for the last month or
more"
The great ditch is now two blocks long
and at places reaches the depth of twenty
feet. About 5000 cube yards of dirt has
been taken out and hauled to fill in vacant
lots between Seventh and Eighth ave.
nues.
There are now two steam shovels, one
of 90 tons and the other 40 tons. SCOOP
ing out the trench which is to form the
continuation of Fifth avenue These i'm
mense machines will make quick work
of the excavation, after which the re-
tanning walls will be built
Until the tunnel under the railroad
crossing is completed 1t will not be pos
sible to begin work on the central part
of the station, but the wings are going
up In good order Already the express
section is up full height and ready for
the roof, while the southern section is in
a forward state. Superintendent Dunning,
who is in charge of the whole work. feels
confident that the station will be ready
for use by January /. Although 1t will not
be finished
new feature In the construction work
is the use Of reinforced concrete which is
being employed in the roofs, floors and
piers. 1t Is intended. as far as possible
to render the depot f1reproof which is
done by the almost entire elimination Of
lumber In the building.
In order TO make UP for time lost
through inclement weather, the con-
tractors attempted to work at night, but
the residents In the enighborhood obtain
ed an injunction to restrain the operation
of steam showers as they kept up such
a noise. There were also complaints about
the explosion when blasting the rocks in
the bottom of the excavation, SO that
altogether the contractors have had many
obstacles to contend against.
The superintendent says that he finds 1t
rather. difficult to obtain the requisite
number of brcklayers, but other labor is
plentiful enough. All the material possible
to be purchased in Birmingham is used
in the work. and preference is always
given to local firms.

Lacey. John Brlndley H. B. Schiller and
Cortland Van Camp.
When plans for the merger were being
worked out few weeks ago It was de-
cided by the new interests that e. r. Sehu-
Ter should remain president, but it was
found that the scope Of the enterprise WAS
80 large that financial head would be
needed in New York Mr.. Schuler being a
practical manufacturer his constant pres
ence, 1t was pointed out, should necessarily
be divided between the steel works located

PRIZE WINNERS ANNOUNCED.
Proverb Contest Is Pronounced Great
Success.

The announcement of prize winners In
the Loveman, Joseph & Loeb ''proverb
contest" conducted by this house during
the month of August, is announced as fol-
lows: First prize, Miss Jennie May SUIT
ley, West End: second prize, Mrs. Rosalie
II. Clark. Birmingham; third prize Mrs.
Mamie G. Henry, Birmingham; fourth
prize, o. Fl. Lackmond, North Birming-
ham; fifth prize Mrs. W. L. Trice, North
Birmingham; sixth prize, Miss Winfred
Pace, Birmingham seventh prize, E. L..
Thompson, East Lake.
The number of proverbs given was
twenty-five Miss Sutley who won first
prize over all the work of her competitors,
had a good margin. None of the candi-
dates had all of the proverbs correct be-
cause many of the pictures represented
two or three proverbs, and the majority
of the contestants selected the wrong one.
There were over two thousand sets, con-
taining in all about fifty thousand
proverbs entered in the contest. These
came from all over the state as we'll as
from Mississippi Georgia and Tennessee.
Every one OF these was scruitinized care
fully before the winners were selected.
The proverb contest is said to have been
the best advertising affair that Loveman,
Joseph and Loeb have ever conducted. 1t
was used in connection with the August
furniture sale and the house feels amply
repaid for the outlay of time and expense
entailed.. Outside Of the prizes awarded
the contest itself was extremely interest
ing and instructive and the firm has re-
ceived many compliments regarding it.
The work was under the direction of Adj
vertising Manager f. T. Purcell, and was
conducted in a manner most creditable
to him.
