Henry Watterson, editor of

one of the most picturesque and
powerful figures which have ever
stood in the ranks of American

rare good fortune not to have

he is a factor to be reckoned

If anyone doubts the future of Ensley and vicinity, a visit to the immense de- veIopments of the Steel corporation which are now well under way, will soon dispel the doubts whatever they may have been The impounding reservoir on Village creek which extends five miles,
 is without question the greatest engineer ing feat so far as impounding water IS concerned ever attempted in t6e south. The immense dam built of reinforced con crete will be 90 feet high, and will back up tine water for five miles.
 The construction of the by-product coke ovens is also a gigantic undertal- tng. Hundreds of ovens are being built which will revolutionize the production of coke in this district. The immensity of the American Steel and Wire company plant can be judged by the fact that there will be 28 acres under roof, the main building covering IS acres. The construction work on all these improve ments is being pushed by small army of workmen at each, many of whom are living at the new town of Corey.

FOURTH AVENUE
 LOT PURCHASED
FowIkes and Massey Pay S3O,O0O for 50 Feet Between Twentieth and
 Twenty-first Streets


 A lot measuring 50 front feet on Fourth avenue between Twentieth and Twenty first streets was yesterday purchased by Frank B. Fowllxes and R. W. Massey for S30, 900.
 The deal was made with the owner whc resides in Denver. and who did not have time to handle his interests in Bir- mingham. The price paid is considered by experts as being very conservative for properties on Fourth avenue.
 While MT. Fowlkes would not say defi- nitely yesterday, the impression is that the lot will be improved by the erection of a handsome building. However, the lot will be held several months before any steps are taken to improve it.
 The opinion prevails among real estate experts that Fourth avenue and Fifth avenue will become business thorough fares in the next 12 months and pur- chases along these streets are expected to be brisk In the next few months.
