thing like 100000 is being expended.
The steel works of the Tennessee COM

modern lines. The addition will consist
of four fitting furnaces of 100 tons ca

practically double the present capacity
of the mill. On the completion of the
work now in progress the old open hearth

FOR LOCAL TURBINE
Complete New York Electric Plant to
Be Equipped BY Wilkin-
son Concern.

Word reached Birmingham yesterday
that the Wilkinson Steam Turbine COM
pany of this city had secured the con-
tract for the installation of their turbines
for the complete plant of the Longacre
Electrict Light and Power company OF
New York.
This company is owned by the Manhet-
tan Aransit company of New York. ThS
contract includes the installation of a
ten thousand horsepower turbine engine.
The success of this company in securing
the contract is considered quite a feather
In the cap of Birmingham, for the COM
pany is a local concern and the turbine
is the invention of a well known Bir-
mingham man.

ondary, and that other things of more
Importance will be considered.
Mr.. Cooper was asked yesterday If Mr..
Lynn. president of the Birmingham Wa
ter Works company. had interviewed him.
He replied in the negative. The arrival
of Mr.. Lynn in Birmingham just at the
initiation of the campaign for the mu-
nicipal control of the water works plant
and the fact that he has been seen in
conversation with several of the strongest
advocates of the measure, caused a deal
of comment.
1t is reported that the meeting of the
executive committee tonight will be in
executive session.

OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED.
General Manager ValleTy States That
the Removal of Division Point
Will Be Made at Once.

The officials of the Colorado Mid
land railway have finally announced
their intentions with regard to the re-
moval of the division point from Ba-
salt to Cardiff
The announcement was made to a
committee of the town council at Ba-
salt on Thursday night, by General
Manager G. w. Vallery. There had
been several conferences between Mr..
Vallery and the town council, as well
as much correspondence.
Mr.. Vallery spent Thursday night
in Basalt. and then informed the
townspeople that the road had def
nitely decided on the removal. and he
also told them the exact particulars.
The division point will be moved
for both freight and passenger trains.
The shops will also be moved The
coal shutes will be maintained at Ba-
salt and necessarily the branch line
crew to Aspen.
The pushers used to help freight
and passenger trains up the hill to
Wild Horse will also be retained at
Basalt. They are not needed below
that place.
This is by no means the great ca
lamity to Basalt that a Glenwood
Springs paper endeavored to make
1t appear. Out of the thirty engines
stationed at that place at least twenty
are pushers. These remain there with
their crews, and necessarily a few
round house men and hostlers.
The pay roll from the railroad is
now about $1,000. AS to the amount
that will be cut out by the removal of
the regular run men, the estimates
vary from $1,000 to $4,000.
The town will suffer very little by
that as it does not equal the cash
business of any single one of the mer
chants in a single month.
The removal will be hardship on
some of the men who hold regular
runs. They have built them homes in
the little town, and it will be hard for
them to realize on them at this time,
but even so. there is very little gloom
about the matter.
