WANT ADDITIONAL
MAIL FACILITIES
Movement to Get Chattanooga
Birmingham Car
OTHER RAILROAD NEWS
illinois Central to Build an Important
Line From Brilliant to Haley
Vile, Connecting Two of
Its Lines.

There is a movement on foot to have a
mail car placed on the Alabama Great
Southern train No. 5, which arrives in
Birmingham from Chattanooga at noon.
The object of this proposed service is
to get the mail from Chattanooga to Bir-
mngham on time in the morning. At
present it comes to Birmingham on train
No. 3, the through train, which is always
late, placing the mail in Birmingham sew
eral hours late.
Returning the car would be placed on
train No. 6, which leaves Birmingham at
o'clock and reaches Chattanooga at
$40 p. m. If this service is established
it will probably bring some of the eastern
mail, through Chattanooga and Bristol,
to Birmingham The Chattanooga Times
has the following to say about the SER
vice:
An application has been made to the
postal authorities at Washington by J.
welsh, chief clerk of the railway mail
Eservice, for mail car and clerk to be
put on train No. of the Alabama Great
Southern, leaving Chattanooga at q. m.
There is little doubt that the request will
be complied with.
This accommodation was made by Mr..
Welsh on account of the habitual late
ness of train No. 3 of the Cincinnati
Southern, which is due to arrive in this
city at $3.50 a. m. Train No. OF the
Alabama Great Southern, according to
schedule, is due to leave Chattanooga at
$40 o'clock but is always held until the
arrival of the>Cincinnati Southern No. 3.
During the month of December train
No. has only been on time on one morn
ing. According to the official record OF
the arrival of trains kept by the postoffice
authorities for the past month the aver
age time of arrival of train No. 3 has
been from $3.50 to 11:30 a. m.
Under the present existing conditions
all of the morning mail received from
Chattanooga proper or any of the con-.
nections is held until the arrival of train
No. 8 of the Cincinnati Southern, when
directed to any points on the lines of the
Queen and Crescent route.
If mail service is placed on train No.
s of the Alabama Great Southern the
morning mail for Birmingham will be
able to get out me as the train is
made up in Cha and does not
have to wait othe Ions.
The mail clerk - a helper
on train No. of ALBANIA Great
Southern going onIy to Birmingham and
returning in the afternoon will be placed
in charge of the mail car on No. should
the authorities decide to place the addi-
tlonal service on this train. The morning
mail for Birmingham from CHATTANOOGA
or southern points will then be sent on
the train leaving first.
Mr.. Welsh said that the lateness of
the trains entering and leaving Chatta-
nooga has been unparalleled in the his
tory of the local office during the past
month. In several instances men have
been compelled to work forty-eight hours
on a stretch without any sleep on ac-
count of It, believe that there will be
a change as soon as the new schedules
Of the various roads go into effect DUR
ing the first part of January"

MINERAL PROPERTY

Companies
CEMENT OUTPUT GROWING
J. S. Grasty, WelI-Known Geologist,
Gives Result of Recent Investiaa-
tions and Observations in
Birmingham District.
CEMENT OUTPUT GROWING

81 am impressed with two things, said
J S. Grasty of Baltimore, who ranks
high as a geologist and mineralogist.
"One is the great scarcity of iron prop
erty not already owned by existing COM
panes, and the other is Alabama is COM
ing forward as a cement producer. Ce-
ment will have before a great while the
same commercial Importance in this state
that iron has today. The two great indus
tries, the manufacture of iron and the
manufacture of Portland cement, will
rank alike in Alabama"
Mr.. Grasty, since leaving college three
or four years ago, has spent much time
in field work In this section. Few of the
older biologists, it is said, have examined
more acres of Alabama property or done
more analysis work hereabouts than he.
1t Is safe to say that he has tramped over
greater areas of Alabama land within the
past three years than any other geologist
in the same period. Mr.. Grasty is stop
ping at the Colonial hotel. He will leave
this morning for the east, but will return
shortly to pursue his investigations.

Illinois Central Extension.

The Illinois Central proposes to build an
extension of it's present line from Aber-
deem to Brilliant from the latter point to
Hayleyville. The line at present leaves
the main line of the Illinois Central at
Aberdeen Junction, and runs to Aberdeen.
From Aberdeen the Frisco is used to
Amory on the main line of the Frisco, and
from Amory to Winfield on that road.
From Winfield the Illinois Central has a
line to Brilliant
The Illinois Central owns much property
at Brilliant which has been operated for
a number of years. The new line will be
built from Brilliant to Hayleyville, the
eastern terminal of the new Corinth-Bir-
mingham line of the Illinois Central From
Hayleyville the Illinois Central will use
the Northern Alabama-to Jasper, and the
Frisco system into Birmingham.
The line already constructed by the IL
linols Central to Aberdeen is about half
the distance from Aberdeen Junction to
Haleyville. This new. line will give the
Illinois Central an entrance into Bir-
mlngham for it's shipments from the
southern end Of its line, although it will
be the long haul from New Orleans and
that section to Birmingham. 1t will also
connect two important parts of the Illinois
Centrals line.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
PLEASED WITH CARTOON.
Favorable Comment Is Made BY Mem
bers of the Farmers Union.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
The cartoon In The Age-Herald of to.
day has created much favorable comment
among leading citizens of Pell City, and
especially by the editors of The Farmers
Union Guide, who have been conducting
campaign of education on the subject
of the guano tag tax, for three months
in the columns of the Guide.
1t is pleasing to note that one of Ala
bama's dailies has seen fit to give the
people such a glazing, yet truthful, illus
tration Of how this tax is paid and of
who should get the benefit of it.
The Farmers Union Guide has made a
request of The Age-Herald for this car
toon, for which 1t feels sure the 10000
members of the union In Alabama are
thankful, both to the cartoonist, Black
man, and to The Age Herald for putting
the cartoon before the public
BAYS D. GATHER,
Vice President and General Manager of
the Farmers Union Guide.
Pell City, January 2, 1907.
TIC the Editor of The Age Herald:
There are some men in Alabama who
are opposed to bringing in our state immi-
grants, but there is no proposition that
does not meet with opposition. 1t is hui
man to object to what others suggest
Now, every white citizen in the county
came here as an immigrant or as the
descendant of an immigrant. 1t is the i'm
migrants who have built our homes,
towns, cities into what we now see them
But 1t is foolish to discuss this side of
the question.
We certainly have no right to object
to newcomers when we are but the same
grandsons and great grandsons of immi-
grants. Take for instance, land in Iowa,
Wisconsin and Colorado, sells for five
times the price of Alabama lands, and not
an acre of it is as good as ours. Here
lands as rich as any on earth sell for $40
to $40 per acre. Lands in Wisconsin and
even Michigan, which are poor compared
to ours with no timber, without railroads
or markets. sell for SIS to 800 per. acre.
You can't buy farm in the black
prairies of Ohio or Illinois at any price.
What makes the dfference7 Only one
thing, the immigrants. Now to illustrate,
bring into Jefferson county, say 1000 farm
ers. They would make this the fresh veg
etable and berry county of the state and
put land out of the market as completely
as 1t is in England where it can't be had
for money. We think this is the reason
able way to look at immigration. Every
white family you locate in this state adds
to the states wealth. 1t enhances the
value on every piece of land in the coun-
ty and makes new customers for the
merchant. Bring them in large numbers
and YOU make a state or county rich very
quick.
These are facts, not arguments and
Alabama should consider them. Our state
has the richest land. the most water, the
best market, and yet is one of the poorest
of the states, because we have not at
tracted immigrants,
