General Agencies Coming Here.

OSHSTdI A9encleS Oomln9 neTes "I am informed by citizen of Att lanta that the southern sales depart ment of the Illinois Steel and the Car negie Steel, constituent companies of the United States Steel corporation, will be removed shortly from Atlanta to Birmingham" said a member of the Commercial club. "F. A. Dilworth Is at present in charge of sales of the two companies named. He has several men in his office force, and there are be- sides a number of travelling salesmen reporting to him. His office, it is un derstood, will be consolidated with the sales department of the Tennessee com pany, of which MT. Burr is manager.
 "The United States Steel had no of fee in Birmingham until it acquired the Tennessee company, Atlanta hav- ing been the only southern headquar- ters. Birmingham is the geographical hub of the south and is now fast being recognized as the logical business cen ter as well.
 Several general agencies represent ing northern manufacturers have been opened in Birmingham during the pres ent year. Up to a few years ago At lanta had all the large agencies, but as Birmingham grew in importance as a distributing point, agencies have been gradually established here. By this time next year every important man ufacturing concern of the north will have an office force in Birmingham. Until another skyscraper is erected the question of office room is going to be perplexing A new building would be quickly occupied from bottom to top"

Women and cigarette Smoking.

New York Commercial.
 The dealers have 1t that the large and continually growing consumption of cigar cites In the United States is being augmented by the women. High society," fin Wash fngton-meaning the women of the smart set diplomatic, native. political and visit ing-is said to be surrounded by thin blue cloud; cigarette smoke. They make nothing of 1t. The young woman who does not enjoy cigarette Is more likely to be the exception than the rule, 'ts said. Whether the habit has been acquired from foreigners or Is a native outgrowth of the desire for novelty and new forms of dlssipa- flon none knows but 1t Is acquiring new devotees This does not apply to the masses of women. of course. There is hardly any likelihood of the American women as whole becoming a race of smokers The weed is like the ballot if doesn't "take" with all. For women of much leisure however, 1t is not unlikely that the cigarette has piquant charm. It can hardly be reguarded as seriously injurious, and by many 1t is not looked upon as an offense, if enjoyed in limited measure Certain circles here in New York city aare quite familiar with It's use. The point Is that are smoking more publicly than formerly But, astonishing as the specucle appears to man at first he soon aocustoms himself to 1t; and the day may come when the American woman may smoke her cigarette in company with her husband in hotels, clubs and at public resorts with as much freedom as does her sister already in European countries. The vast majority of us, however, will not say speed the day!

completely obstructing the line of grade. an inland lake was encountered which had not been disclosed by the preliminary survey. The bottom of the lake, which was half . mile wide and contained six feet of water, was composed entirely of peat. To remove this peat and secure a frmer founda- ton for the embankment, two dredges worked steadily for fifteen months. Connecting Key Largo and Plantation Key across Tavernier Creek is another steel bridge with concrete piers and abutments.
 Perhaps the most interesting part of the work. however, is the reinforced concrete arch viaduct construction which connects the longer stretches of deep water between the keys. Alto gether there are about six miles of this kind of work, which will consist of alterations of four fifty-foot spans and one of sixty feet. Between Knights and State Keys there will be total length of 15,100 feet of this construction, and between Long and Grassy Keys. where the viaduct work first begins, is the next longest stretch. which will consist of 1s4 arches.
 From the midst of activities Sd successful and stimulating visitors to the southern end of Florida return with just such enthusiasm as Con- Eressmen and other tourists bring back from Panama. One of the facts about the extension of the East Coast Rail- way across the Keys to Key West that perhaps impresses them most of all IS that 1t is the work solely of one man's fortune. Every dollar has come. and will come presumably, fro mHenry M. Flagler's pocket. An average cost of $100,000 a mile for building the 160 miles of railway is very conserva- tive estimate, to say nothing of the further expense of the improvements at Key West where it is proposed to fill in 174 acres of land now under water and to build extensive docks and terminals, as well as dry docks and wharyes, each 800 feet long and 100 feet wide. Then there must be es- tablished a car ferry service which will transport trains of thirty cars each from Key West to the Cuban cap. ital in from four, to four and one-half hours. Perhps $30.ooo.0o0 will see the enterprise complete to the last detail. But there will be neither bonds nor stock to harass the public with the fear of possible loss. for it Is a strict ly one-man undertaking. T try" said Mir F1agier on one occasion, ito real ize the responsibility of great riches. " This realization led to tho initial con- struction of the Florida East Coast Railway and its attendant chain of winter resort hotels. which have ad- vanced down the entire length of the coast together. adding 100000 to Flor ida's winter population and eontribu- ting millions to the prosperity of the State. Today the extension of this system is, like the work on the Pan- anna Canal, giving the world an exhi- bition of the possibility of carrying on in the tropics vast industrial projects without extravaganza and without scandal or reproach.
