Sheffield, January 27.-(Special)- )-The new era of industrial development thai was auspiciously inaugurated in this city and section last October has assumed unparalleled proportions, and collateral enterprise and tremendous growth have become insignificant features in bringing about a period of wonderful opportuni- ties and great prosperity. In conse- quence of these things a Greater Shef- field is in the building, and the present 12-month will witness a still greater showing in growth, which, of course will stimulate private enterprise and in- diwdual endeavor on a scale never be fore attempted in this community. Tn truth, the certainties of the future will make this city vast and populous, the metropolis of the Tennessee valley sec ton of north Alabama
 GOVERNMENT DEVELOPMENTS developments under way in Sheffield, Is the building of extensive plants by the federal government. These plants, !n- cluding powder mills, synthetic ammonia plants and cyanamid plants, will entail an expenditure of upwards of ,oOO in connection with the building of large power dams across the Tennessee river at Muscle Shoals. Government con tractors are now engaged in erecting these plants, and extraordinary effort is being made to hasten their comple- tion.
 The Muscle Shoals dams are expected to be stuthorzed by the war department any time. These dams when completed will harness water power sufficient to generate electric current unequalled in the United States, not excepting Niaag- "a Falls. Until the dams are completed at Muscle Shoals, the Alabama Power company by direction of the government, will furnish the necessary power for op- eration of the local plants. Transmits sion lines are now being strung to this city by the Alabama Power company from its Coosa river plants, and within 30 days are expected to be completed to this city. To meet these demands the Alabama Power company Is spending sS,c0o.00o In building a large steam plant to augment it's power station now in operation on the Coosa river.

In meats We consumed almost six times
