Cheap Coal for New ov\eaNs

favorably with the other products. and with our improved facilities we have been able to make contracts at prices that are less than one-half those charged for the same product a few months ago. This settles the question, and there Is nothing more to say"
 would the price have been as low If if had not been for the oil discovery"
 q do not think prices would have gone AS low at the start as they are now had 1t not been for the oil discoveries, bus they would have been much lower than they were before, and competition would undoubtedly have been factor that would have operated ito fradually reduce the price to something like the present fig ures."
 Do you think that New Orleans can hope to have coal at as low rates as the manufacturing centers of the East get it?"
 Tt seems that thls Is the natural con- clusion Coal has had to compete with oil in the Norh near the mines, and has done so successfully, and there is no reason that 1t should not do so here as well as there We are no farther, practically, than they are from the base of supply, and prices naturally should seek about the same level. It Is a matter that de- bends largely upon the demand and the cost of production. Improved methods of mining and marketing bring lower prices, and these have always kept pace with the requirements of the market. I think New Orleans need have no fear that she will be able to get all the coal that she needs at as advantageous figures as she need wish. Demand, supply and im- provd methods are all so intimately con nected that they may be said to improve all together, and that is what will hap pen in New Orleans without a doubt.
 "Cheap coal should have an immense effect on the commerce of this port, and there is no doubt that 1t will do so. That 1t will is already apparent in more ways than one that I might name but think 1t little premature to go into all the particulars of what we know at this time. Wait and see what we will do for the port in the next two years, and then recognize the cause of the greater pros perity that is sure to follow. We don't think we are going to be the whole cause, but we do expect to be able to contribute very largely to 1t, and we hope to see the results double the most sanguine ex- pectations of the citys best friend.'

ENSLEY COMPANl'S WORKS
This Organization of Business Men Have Done Mucn Toward Push ing the Marvellous City
 Before the World.

Within the past twelve months fire occurred in the young city of Ensiey, burning a block or more Of buildings in the business center of the town; and somebody called 1t disastrous fire. So it might have been to a few individ- ual loosers who were so improvident as not to insure fully, but rather than a disaster to Ensley 1t proved an advant- age and rather a joke on the fire fiend, because 1t meant brick and stone build ings where once stood but temporary shaclxs and wooden stores. It meant a transformation from village proportions to city shape and symetry; from rough ard ugly little huts to the buildings of handsome architectural design, which now stand in Ensley and would prove or namentai to any city in the state
 And Ensley still grows.
 From 500 people in 1897 to 6OO0 In 1901 means much and it is doubtful if any other town or city in America, founded on a substantial basis, with such a magnificent future before 1t as Ensley, can make such showing
 A little over three years ago when Ems ley blushingly claimed a population of about 800 people, it was declared by all who had observed it's beginning Ghat is, the foundation upon which 1t was build ing), that it had before 1t an immense future; and when at the end of 1S99 one industrial company there the Ensley Company alone had erected over 200 neat and comfortable houses and these were taken as rapidly as the keys could be turned over by an industrious. wide-a- wake and most excellent set of people. everybody began to exclaim: "Ensley Is coTning.''
