NSTER urn ANOTHER LARGE INDUSTRY FOR THE DOMINION. _.._ $350,000 of Contract Have Been Awarded for Immense Works at Hull. The Ottawa papers gave an interâ€" esting account of the gathering on several days of last week at Ottawa of a dozen or two representatives of iron and steel manufacturing conâ€" cerns from various Canadian, United States, and German cities, their ob- §CCt being to submit tenders to the directors and engineers of the Inter- national Portland Cement Company, Ltd, for structural metals and maâ€" chinery for the big IIull works. According to the “Citizen,” the directors had long dayâ€"andâ€"night sessions with the representatives of the iron and steel manufacturers who tendered for the work of build- ing the machinery of the new com com. "Some idea of the magnitude of the business done may be gained from the fact that during the week over $350,000 worth of contracts have been awarded. The plant is of such a. size that no sihgle manufac- turing firm could be relied upon to do all the work of the high stami- ard that the directors insist upon and have the plant ready at the re.â€" quired time. Consequently a numâ€" ber of contracts have been let, each for some special part of the plant.” The lIull people have, we are told, the same designers, engineers, and chemists who made so complete an establishment of the National ceâ€" ment mill at Durham, Ont., the Penâ€" insular mills at Cement City, Mich” and several others now in successful operation. A STRONG POINT in favor of this organization lies in the fact that all machinery, the buildings, and the entire plant from the smokestack to the clinker pit is made from special designs and de- _tailed drawings by a staff of en- gineers, who have learned the busiâ€" ness by many years of practical ex- pcrience. Various representatives of the large manufacturing firms stated to a “Citizen” reporter that the de- tailed drawings furnished by these engineers are easier to interpret and figure upon than any that go into their works, and the machines when built and installed run with less trouble than any others with which they have to deal. They all agree also that the fact that the same engineers who design the plant su- perintend its operation after con- struction is a very strong assura ice of its successful and economical working. The favorable points of the Ottawa or Hull proposition are that the raw materials are abundant, of ex- ceptional purity, that both limeâ€" stone and clay lie at the very door of the factory, that they have waterâ€" power at the very low rate of $15 per horseâ€"power, that they have both water and rail transportation from the Company’s own docks. Then the Company are not obliged to build a railway or steam power plant, thus enabling them to build a much larger factory with the same amount of capital, and thereby ma- terially increasing the earning pOWer of the plant, It is further to be noted that with r ‘ THEIR. OWN BOAT LINE. they can market their cement at all .ports in the Lower Provinces, and through the Ri-dcau Canal can reach all ports surrounding Lake Ontario. Their boats instead of reâ€" ttii‘ning empty from eastern ports can bring back coal on their return trips. The location as to the mar- kets to be supplied could not be better, as there is no Portland Ceâ€" ment produced in the Lower Pro- vinces, and the bulk of all the ceâ€" ment consumed in Ottawa, Montreal, and the Maritime Provinces is of necessity imported from Germany. Belgium, and the United States against a duty of £130. per barrel. The “Citizen” article notes as a favorable point, that the C.P.R. and the Canada. Atlantic railways run right by the doors of the facâ€" tory, also the water way which gives a free outlet from the ware- house docks of the Company info the Ottawa liver and thence direct to Montreal, Quebec, and the sea board cities. The IIull works will, it is claimed. surpass in efliciency and equipment any of the plants yet designed by these men, and will supply Cement to Eastern Ontario and the Lower Provinces from its advantageous location, just as the Durham works is well placed to supply the \‘i'csfern Peninsula. The business ability and scientific skill of the people who have this work in hand point to its success as an important industrial enterprise and promise well, we consider, for its financial success also. +~â€"-â€"- DISI‘OSEI) TO DIE FAIR. “And now, Rachel," the young man said. standing erect before her, “I shall insist upon the Nturn of the diamond ring I gave you."

In the. career of the late Gustavus F. Swift we have another and a signal proof that there is no lack of opportunities, but only of men who have the intelligence, the cour- age and the persevering energy to improve men, says the Chicago Chronicle. During the first thirty ix years of his life Mr. Swift acquired but. lit- t'v wcalth, but during those voais he had been laying the foundation, consciously or unconsciously, for his subsequent phenomenal success. He had been observing, thinking and accumulating a stock of useful knowledge as well as working. When he came to Chicago in 1875 there were great packing establishâ€" ments at the stock yards, rich and powerful. and the field seemed to be completely filled. Any many of or- dinary capacity and force, \vf3n httle money would not have thought of entering it any more. than he would have thought of manufacturing iron and steel to compete with Carnegie in Pittslflurg. But Mr. Swift saw an opportunity and seized it withâ€" out hesitation. Beginning with a small slaughter house at the stock yards where only a few animals could be handled daily, he developed his business with Wonderful rapidity and almost before his great comâ€" petitors knew what he was doing he Was abreast of them. That was not more. luck. Mr. Swift not only knew the business as it was then done, from buying to marketing, but he had ideas of his own. He knew that in the prepar- ing of animals for the market there was a great deal of waste. It was part. of his plan to save what was then wasted. So successful was he that [our years ago he was able to say, “Not a hair of the beef is wasted, and the hogs are all used except the grunt." A man who could keep at the front in the matter of by-Iproducts had a great advantage as a com- petitor in TIIE MAIN PRODUCT. He could sell the latter on a very narrow margin and still make good :3: warm» profits. Mr. Swift had other ideas. One of them was that the markets for meats could be supplied far better and more etcnomicvally if suitable provisions were made for preserving the product in transit and storage. 110 was proâ€"eminently the man of the refrigerator car and warehouse. As a result of his efforts in this field fresh meats can be carried alâ€" most any distance in any climate and laid down in perfect condition where they are wanted. Another fact, worthy of remark, is that Mr. Swift was not a speculator in any objec- tionable sense of the word. He was, indeed, a good judge of market conditions. He could IOI‘CCaSL as well as any of them. Ile acted with an eye on probable future condiâ€" tions. So far he was a speculator, as every prudent buyer and seller must be, but he was not a market rigger. IIe (lid not run corners or Names of play any of the speculative the Board of Trade. He achieved his remarkable success in the comâ€" paratively short space of twentyâ€" eight years by strictly bu’sincss ineâ€" thods. He did it by effecting imâ€" portant economics and giving the consuming public better product and service. And he did it in a field which to the ordinary observer seemed fully occupied. lie supplied a valuable illustration of the truth that as society is constituted men of brains, energy and perse‘v'erencc can aIWays find opportunities to im- prove tht-ir fortunes and benefit their fellow men in so doing. There would be no such opporâ€" tunities under the artificial social organism for which some people long, and industrial progress would be as dead as it is in India China. 01‘ ___i._+ BIRD VENGLIANCE.

The duck. after taking breath, looked round to see ’where its enemy was, and seeing it not far off it rose into the air and deliberately came down, flapping its ‘wings. on the astonished swan’s back.
