SOUTHERN COMMERCIAL CONGRESS.

The Real Estate and Building section OF
The Washington Herald fl this issue Is
given UP largely 20 a presentation Of the
aims OF the Southern Commercial Con
gress. IN presenting these plans a 6ou-
Die purpose IS sought, namely. 10 state
the aims Of the organization, and 20 pre-
serve some OF the addresses delivered AT
the recent complimentary dinner in this
city 20 John NJ Parker. president OF the
congress.
The movement represented in the South
ern Commercial Congress Is one which
challenges attention and. in the majority
% instances. commands at once the Co
operation OF the man 20 whom Il is set
forth Again and again. 6 hundred
times. Il has been said and pu- IN writ
Ing that this movement is the one Ie-
Quired 10 bring The South into Is p-Uper
relation &c the rest Of the country and
the world
This accounts for the quick results that
have been arrived al in the organization
OF the congress. and the working out OF
its plans. All In al. il IS an undertaking
which REQUIRES strong adjectives for ade-
quate description To call Il immense or
stupendous IS not 10 go beyond the scops
Of the enterprise as Il lies IN the brains
OF It's founders
Not a year has passed since tae inceD-
ton Of the plau-by obscure men g. Chat

passed since the movement received the
name Southern Commercial Congress. %
Only four months have passed since the
meeting Of the congress IN its first ses-
sions and the organic tion Of its forces
Tor active work
Now the organization has been formed,
with working committees in Washington
and IN The south. A site for the building
which viii he used as the headquarters
Of the congress has been purchased
Plans are under way for the construction
OF the building Representatives OF the
congress are gathering in subscriptions
for the endowment fund. and that work
Is succeeding almost beyond the dreams
Of the projectors Of the enterprise.
Under the service OF the managing d.
doctor Of the congress. who has opened
Offices in Washington. all branches OF the
work are going forward in al energetic.
orderly manner toward positive and early
realization.
The movement interests The Washing
ton Herald. and It's columns are opened

tributes Il 20 Whole seetian.

The underlying financial idea OF the
Southern Commercial Congress - Is as
simple and straightforward as that OF
a commercial club or chamber OF com
merce at any point IN the South. Com
mercial organizations OF the South are
maintained for the purpose OF bringing
specific benefits 10 their own communi-
ties
The men who maintain these CONNER
cial organizations 90 so not because. the
organization viii bring hack direct results
10 them, but because the gain of one is
the gain OF all and those who maintain
the organization gain indirectly The
Southern Commercial Congress is a sum
ming I'D OF all efforts being made BY the
commercial bodies OF the SOutlrS for the
purpose Of doing Tor the whole South
that which no local organization can ac-
complish.
The maintenance OF the Southern Com
mercial Congress VIII come along pre-
cisely the same lines as local commercial
clubs are maintained

II all our bankers were 20 realize that
there is something more TO be desired
than the Individual prosperity Of one

banks. the first lessons in cooperation
would have been learned.
II each commercial body could come to
realize that the growth Of one portion
Of the South through honest endeavor
would make the growth OF the rest Of the
South more easy. then we would have the
beginning or a mighty cooperation.
II every State IN the South realized
that her greatest strength rested in neigh

WILL COMPEL ATTENTION.

Union of Forces Sought Which VIII
Attract Eyes of the World.
The great resources Of the South, being
facts. are incontrovertible. The great
growth OF the South depends upon seeing
these facts in their connection with each
other. The proper realization Of their
meaning must bring the South commercial
greatness.
Shall that commercial power have a
voice at the National Capital representa-
tive enough to command attention. or
shall individuals work painfully through
for individual advantage amid the diff
culties Of Washington. as they have
hitherto done. CT shall there be such a
union of forces throughout the South as
20 compel national attention?
The answer must be a cooperative
movement. for without cooperation an
individual simply remains an individual
and has only the power Of one person.
The Washington herald., 1909-04-04

In my opinion. the purpose OF
the Southern Commercial COZ
gress should be 20 educate the
people OF the South regarding
their immense natural resources.
assisting them where possible 10
develop these resources by prop
erIy interesting capital both OF
that section and elsewhere. and
10 aid manufacturing and com
merce in that section in every
possible manner through the re-
spective commercial organiZa-
tions or the cities OF the South.

SUBURB OF DALLAS BURNED.
Beautiful Residence Portion of City Laid Waste-Loss Heavy-High
 Wind Fans Fire.

Dallas. Tex.-Fire swept IA resi- dence blocks in one of the prettiest sections of Dallas Saturday, destroy rum. Not more than five houses are i left standing in the burned district, covering more than half-mile square of territory. The loss is estimated at S400,000
 The burned district is known as | Oak Cliff. On account of high wind and bad water pressure it was i'm possible to check the flames. A strong 1 southwest wind famed the flames into a fury and the sanitarium was doom i ed before the fremen reached the scene The entire department of the city, save the apparatus which had l gone to the assistance of Fort Worth was present. but the firemen were of little more effect than the panic-strick- en people whose houses were being destroyed
 Every fence, barn. outhouse and tel ephone pole in the burned area was destroyed. Live wires sizzled on the i streets and made any attempt to go l through the section very hazardous. Tkose who had lost their homes scat tered quickly to t1e homes of friends who offered to shelter them. A contractor who built many of the houses said that many of them were worth from S10,000 to s15, ,000 and none could be valued for less than e9,G00. This is exclusive of tie furnishings, which, on Q conserv- atiye basis. may be estimated at 50 per cent of the va!ue of the houses.
 Soetl. Of Tenth and Tyler streets, where the fire started, there were four other buildings burned On Ninth street, te,ween Van Buren and Tyler, II were destroyed. Ca Tenth, be- tween Van Buren and Tyler, four houses were turned On Tyler. be- tween Eeishth and Ninth, there were two. On Eighth, between Tyler and | Van Buren, there were 13. On Sev- enth, between Van Buren and Tyler, there were 19 and on Sixth there were 10. South of Sixth street stood two fine homes two blocks away. Across this space the flames leaped and burned one of the houses, but the other was untouched
 While the department was still at tempting to check this fire, an alarm was turned in from another section of Oak Cliff and two new houses and some outhouses were destroyed, the loss being aboW s15,00e.
 The Missouri, Kansas and Texas fire-prcof freight depot and warehouse was in the path of the flames, but was not seriously damaged
 There were many thrilling rescses and volunteers responded by the hun- dreds to save the household effects
 While the fire was raging beyond the Texas and Pacific depot. owners of buildings in the business districts were preparing to fight the flames i' they should spread further. Hun dreds of buckets of water were file and cn roofs, while men stood on . guard.

the special train to a platform locat- ed at point beyond the flames and to reach winch, the train had to pass through blinding smoke and terrific heat. The train dashed past the dan ger point, although the cars were scorched.
 Dallas and other cities surrounding have offered aid to the fire victims, but the Fort Worth authorities feel able to cope with the situation.
 The Mammoth Livestock building and Auditorium have been thrown open to the fire victims, and all va cant houses in the city have been rendered to the unfortunate rent free. until they are able to find perma- nent quarters.
 Time after time tiny shoots of flames would leap from the roof of the Texas and Pacific station, the barrier between the fire and the business district, and each time a railroad em- ploye, braving the suffccating smoke, would be on hand to snuff it out For hours this fight was kept up, any mo- ment it being expected that She build ing would be lost
 The flames were famed by a wind blowing at the rate of 45 miles an hour, and this with weakened water pressure, handicapped the fire depart. ments of the two cities.
The Carlisle independent., 1909-04-08

rOIl NOIlu, eA.-W lLulH luc space of three hours Saturday after noon, one of the best sections of the residence district of this city was laid waste by fire, one life was lost, six persons were seriously injured property loss of approximately s1,- 900,000 inflicted and about 800 fami- lies rendered homeless.
 The fire started in barn on the corner of May and Tucker streets on the South Side, and famed by gale, which at the time reached the yeloci- ty of 50 miles an hour, swept north east to the Texas and Pacific railroad and east to the Santa Fe tracks. The burned area is approximately one and half miles long and half mile wide.
 Three hundred and nine residences were completely destroyed, four lum- Der manufacturing plants, the Texas and Pacific car shops, the Sawyer Electrical Manufa acturing plant and five large warehouses, in addition to three churches and one sanitarium, were the business concerns of impor- tance destroyed.
 J. J. Newton, recently connected with bank in Fort Worth, lost his life in the fire. His body was found in the yard of his residence, but just how he came to his death is un- known
 The Broadway Presbyterian and the Broadway Baptist churches. both handsome structures, were burned, as was also the Reimers Memorial chap el attached to the Broadway Baptist church, and the Swedish Lutheran church.
 The Texas and Pacific railroad was the heaviest loser. It's roundhouse repair shops, 20 engines, coal chutes, etc, were burned. the total loss be- ing estimated by General Manager Thorne at s16o,0O0.
 Many stories are told as to how the fire originated. but the most gen. orally credited account places the blame upon party of boys smoking cigarettes in barn.
 The extreme dryness of the build iAgs after drouth and a high wind rendered all efforts by the combined fire departments of Fort Worth and Dallas to check the fire unavailing, and only the open space about the Texas and Pacific tracks saved the business district from destruction.
 The burned district is part of the best residence section of Fort Worth, and in addition te the scores of magnificent residences. also in cluded the Texas and Pacific round house and many substantial business and manufacturing plants. the latter being along the railroad tracks.
 Heroic efforts were made to con troi the fire. The entire fire depart ments of Fort Worth and North Fort Worth were promptly on the scene and in response to telephone appeal, the Dallas fire department sent a de- tachment which came by a special train over the Texas and Pacific in record time and rendered valiant ser vice. Hardy had the Dallas fremen finished their work here. when they received an urgent call to return home, as fire threatened a consider able section Of tbeir home city. They were promptly hurried aDoard tAeli special train ard rushed back
 The hundreds of homeless people were sheltered hv friends and char itable organizations and prompt meas ures were taken to extend relief. At the request of the mayor, Governor Campbell ordered out two companies of local militia, which, aided by the police and sheriff's force, patrshed the burned district and kept out providers.
