PLACE Big ORDER
FOR Steel RAILS

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June a
Tangible evidence of generous pro-
portions that prosperity is returning
is given in the fact that the Illinois
Central Railroad Company, in con-
nection with the opening yesterday OF
it's new line between Chicago, Birm-
ingham and Atlanta has placed con-
tract for $4,000 tons of steel rails to
cost 81, 456,0OO.
The contract goes to the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Company and is the
largest order since the financial DE-
preston 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 finan-
cial depression is likely to set the
pace for other large systems which
have been withholding similar orders
until the conditions are fully nor
NAL.
This contract will enable the steel
mills here to open additional plants
and give immediate work to more
than 1000 skilled men who have been
idle for some time. In an indirect
way it will start wave of prosperity
over the entire South, putting large
amount of money into immediate cir
culation and stimulating all sorts q
business.
The new rails are to be heavier
than any the Illinois Central has hith-
erto ordered. They will weigh ninety
pounds to the yard. whereas the heav-
| lest rail now used on the system
weighs eighty-five pounds. Illinois
Central officials predict that the Biz
mingham district will surpass the
! famous Pittsburg ore fields Bir-
mingham has a mountain of high
/ grade ore almost within the city
| limits.
