NEWEST INDUSTRIES
OF THE SOUTHWEST.
. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Special 10 the World
Chattanooga, Tenn, March 1 In
numbers and total capitalization the
record of new Industries established
for the week closing today and re-
ported by The Tradesman, indicates
that there has been a temporary lull
in this line of development as COM
pared to previous weeks thus far dur
ing 1911. This however is more
than offset by the increased activities
in building and other lines and in no
way indicates even a temporary halt
Ing in what has been a noticeable in
creasing in business conditions in
practically all lines.
While a more or less unsatisfactory
condition prevails among the textile
mills, even In this the indications are
that matters are adjusting themselves
and a resumption on full time of
practically all the mills Is confidently
looked for I'm the very near future.
The iron market is not only
strengthening but in spite of the pes
simistic forecasts based on the recent
ruling of the interstate commerce
commission It is confidently expected
that this barometer of trade condi-
tlons Will continue to point to better
things.
The list OF new Industries for the
week follows:

BARREN ISLAND ABLAZE.
Wind DRIVING Flames Toward Reduction
WOrks--Acres OF Shacks Eaten Up.

WOTHS-(NRTCS
The western half Of Barren Island in
Jamaica Bay. the place where the city 9
garbage is transmitted into oil and ferti-
lizers, was swept by fire early this MORN
ing. 1t was thought at 3 o'clock that the
plant Of the New York Sanitary Utiliza-
ton Company, which is on the eastern END
OF the island. was in danger. because
west wind was blowing toward the works.
The fire started in workman's shack
presumably by the overturning OF a lamp
Within a few minutes the flames had
jumped to dozen other two story houses
and they were completely destroyed.
There was small fire protection ON the
island. The operatives and the police
of Harbor G. stationed on the Canars'e
shore, who went across to the island at
the first flicker OF fire. set TO work tearing
down houses in the path OF the harnes
They stretched few lines OF hose and got
a bucket brigade at work. but the wind
was too heavy to make their efforts good
for much. A freboat started from the
Battery, but hadn't reached the island a'
o'clock.
A man speaking by telephone from the
Empire Hotel, patronized chiefly 10y the
workmen. said that the flames were jump
ing from house to house and that thing'
looked bad on the island. He said. how
ever. that he didn't think the reduction
plant would be destroyed
Cant talk any more. boss" he said,
the fires next door now. and m pretty
hot myself. guess we're going next
Barren Island had 81 200. 600 fire in l9O'
and another. which cost $50, 600. in 1897
