 LOSE ITS CHIEF
 GARDENING SPOT
Steel Corporation to Build Big Ordnance Plant on
 Fertile Island.

Pittsburg, June 1. Pittsburg has lost it's garden, and the long cherish ed dream of the late John w. Gates, who never was afraid to "bet mil lion'' is about to come true. These facts loom larger when considered in connection with the official announce ment of the war department that the United States Steel corporation is about to build on Neville Island gi- gantic ordnance plant.
 For more than hundred years Pittsburg has looked to Neville Island for its vegetables. Lying in the Ohio river at the western edge of the city 1t is high enough through it's entire length of almost seven miles, to es- cape the disastrous floods which twice every year drive the people from their homes in the lower part of the old town of Alleghney. While less than q mile wide, it is so level that garden CTS early SOW in it wonderful possi- bilities many hundreds of thousands of dollars have been taken from it's rich. brown soil. Oil too has added to the riches of the island, and even it is dotted with steel Elerricks topping wells that ara producing the light Pennsylvania crude.
 Of it's 944 acres the Steel corpora tion already owns 250 through it's principal subsidiary, the Carnegie Steel company, and before the ord nance mills are completed it must own much, if not all, of the remainder.
 This property was bought by the late M. Gates in the late nineties when he formed the American Steel X Wire company, and he planned to GOV CT the island with the mightiest steel wire mills ever erected. He went so far as to build blast furnace at the head of the island, and to dig deep for the foundations that were to sup port the heavl machinery his engin- eers were to insall in great steel buildings. But his plans failed be- cause the Steel corporation was form cd, and it was necessary for it's scheme of things that it take over the American Steel & Fire company and Gates ceased to be a factor in the Independent field.
 Neville island was neglected. Little was done at the furnace and nothing was done to carry out the plans for the big mills. In 1918 the Carnegie Steel company, needing more blast furnace capacity, added tae Neville

guarding the coast from mines and
submarines is using a large number Of
motor launches of the standardized

One OF the most successful boats
used for the work Is the canonniere
which, working with Diesel engines,

hour without refuelling, and so could
cross to the United States under it's

big enough to deal with any sub

its low draught enables it to travel
over minefields that would wreck a

sweep is towed astern, being held out
