Grated on Large Scale,

New Buildings Soon to be Under Way.
Notes Of Progress.

just SO much additlonel capltaI
from the out side to Fort Worth. IS will
be noticed from the recorded transfers q
number of building lots were sold it be-
ing the intention of the buyers in most
cases to build residences on these lots.
To show how real estate is ap-
preciating 1t is only necessary to
cite the case of the lots
IN the stove foundry addition. In many
cases people took lots only to aid the
stove foundry enterprise. Many said
they considered the $500 a donation, but
no one need lay the flatterlng JUNCTION to
his soul that he has given the
stove foundry cent for a
standing offer is made of $3.50 for every
lot, and some have sold as high as 1925
and $3.50. A pretty good investment and
good institution secured for the city.
This experience will be repeated in the
cotton mill and wagon factory additions.
THE STOVE FOUNDRY.
Yesterday the stove foundry, patterns,
site, ETC., were sold to Capt. D. F.
White, the aggregate value of the plant
being something over $50, 900. Capt.
White will form stock company with q
capital of $500 200 and in thirty days
the foundry will be in full blast. Orders
to the amount of several thousands of
dollars are already on hand. The new
company will be one of the strongest in
the state. w. q. Manchester has let the
contract for twelve residences to be
built IN the foundry addition, and it will
not be long until electric cars run to the
foundry.
THE REFRIGERATOR.
Word was received yesterday from
Mr.. Dahlman at New Orleans, to the
effect that all negotiations for the re-
sumption of slaughterlng of beef at
the Dahlman refrigerator were
about completed, and it will
not be many weeks until
cattle will be slaughtered there. To
carry out the contract with the English
company it will require the killing of 200
head of beef cattle every day. The
huge pork factory is well under way and
it will not be long until second
refrigerator will be built. Fort
Worth will not have to wait
long to be a packing center.
THE HOTEL.
A lively interest is taken by all in the
success Of the hotel project and the
committee which has the matter in
charge is not letting grass grow under
their feet. The total amount in sight TO
be applied to the purchase of the half
block at $50 900 had last night reached
to $50, 200 and it is probable that the
$50 900 still needed will be raised in
few days. As stated, the Chicago people
have been notified of the change OF looa-
ton and the desirability of the site pro-
posed.
= WHAT is IT FoR7
1t is now known that J. c. MCCARTHY,
president otP the City national bank has

ones THAT q large factory

fronts directly on the tracks of the Texas

and first-class, and the location is in |
every way desirable one for q manu-
enterprise.
