TANGIBLE EVIDENCE OF RE

Illinois Central Places an Order for
$1,450,O00 Worth Of New
Steel Rails.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June s.
Tangible evidence Of generous pro-
portions that prosperity is! return
ing is given In the fact that the ILL.,
nois Central Railroad company. in
connection with the opening Of its
new line between Chicago. Birming-
ham and Atlanta, has placed a con-
tract for $4,000 tons of steel rails to
cost $1.540.000.
The contract goes to the Tennes-
see Iron and Coal company, and is
the largest order since the financial
depression set in. Only one contract,
that of the Pennsylvania, takes rank
with It, ...
The official announcement that
the Illinois Central has decided to
ignore what remains of the financial
depression is likely to set the pace
for other large systems which have
been withholding similar orders un.
til conditions are fully normal.
This contract will enable the steel
mills here to open additional plants
and give immediate work to mor'
than 1000 skilled men who have
been idle for some times. In an In
direct way it will start the wave o.
prosperity over the entire South
putting a large amount OF none!
into immediate circulation and slim
ulating all sorts Of business.
