‘When the good people of this city, by their votes some months 1go, deâ€" cided that the Deerings, of Chicago, were not entitled to certain encoutâ€" agements to locate here, it was fearâ€" ed that a golden opportunity . had _been cast aside, but the enterprising Chicagoans proved their sincerity, by not only going ahead with their orâ€" iginal plans, but eventually increasâ€" ing them many fold. A plot of iland, 88 acres in extent, was secured imâ€" mediately adjoining the city limits, east of â€" Sherman avenue, and the work of preparation for the big plant at once commenced. This was aot: many months ago, but the work kas so Tar progressed that a very | fair idea of the magnitude of the comâ€" pleted plant may already be had on & visit to the premises. Commencing in a modest sort of way, the Deerâ€" ings have so increased their buildinz _plans that the enwire plot of _ Jand, at their disposal will soom be covâ€" ered by Buildings. It is also _ vety .â€"worthy of note that all the buildings now.going up and those yet to _ be «started, â€"will be thoroughly modern in :"every respect, being constructed ifllldly of brick piers, â€" steel trusses gmd glass. The plant in all will conâ€" mfi 23 buildings, the details _ of . which will be found later on in this Aarticle. ‘The Deering architects: have ‘ paid especial attention to light and W ‘the result being that all â€"‘ the buildings will be unusually high, While it is well known, not only in Hamilton, but everywhere else _ in this.broad Dominion, that what . is techrically known as the Decring @ivision,‘ International Harvester Co. is ‘erecting a, manufacturing instituâ€" 0n ‘here for the purpose of supplyâ€" ing its Canadian and much of its foreign trade, there are but fow peoâ€" ple who have avclear idea of the magâ€" pitude. of _ the plant, and the great good that it must of necessify bring to Hamilton. inent, and the springtime should be productive of much building activity in 'fitu now known as the ‘"iacâ€" tory tict.‘‘ The most stupendous proposition along these lines _ that has ever been undertaken in Canada, is the building of the Deering plant, Row under way in the northeast corâ€" mer of the cityâ€"and it is with this plantâ€" that it is intended this article shall deal. ‘That Hamilton is destined to beâ€" come the most . important manufactâ€" uring centre in the Dominion of Canâ€" wda : is daily becoming more . and more apparent to those in immediate touch with this particular phase _ of the world‘s whirligig.

Six . thouâ€" sand seven hundred automatic sprinkâ€" lers scattered throughout the . build ings willâ€" lend further protection against the fiety element.

The miain sewers wWill be 1050 feet of 42â€"inch brick, with 8â€"inch walls; 936 fect of 36â€"inck brick with 8â€"inch walls, and 850 feet of 30â€"inch brick, with 8â€"inch walls. These will be augmented by 4000 feet of 18â€"inch tile sewers, 60060 feet oi 15â€"inch, 4500 feet of i2â€"inch, and 7500 feet of 6 and 8â€"inch . tile sewers. Railwaysâ€"Artother feature of this immense institution will be its facilâ€" ities for the rapid handling in _ and out of the,. yard, of all material, heavy and light. Connection with the grounds has already been made with what is known as the belt line, conâ€" necting directly with the Grand Trunk and T. H. & B., systems. From this belt line, nine diffetent switches or branches will run to various points in the yard, making a total length of 19,600 feet, or reaiâ€" ly 4 miles of private railway. . The cotmpany will use two switch engines for its own business, as well as a number of light and heavy cars. Conâ€" nection between the several buildings in the premises will be maude by a trolly car line. Additional facilities in this direction will be a 110â€"ton ‘m.ilway and a 25â€"ton wagon scale. Some of the imposing features . of the plant will be two immense smoke stacks, for the annealing ovâ€" ens, each 12 feét square and 125 feet high, and four stacks for the malleâ€" able iron furnaces, each 10 feet 8q., and 110 feet high. Four 84 inch cupâ€" olas of sheet steel, forty, feet â€" above the roofs of the iron grey founderies will also add to the grandeur ol the general scene. The company, for the better direction of the public, . will place prominently â€" on its _ sevefal buildings immense wire signs, 14 fect high, and measuring all told, about 4000 feet in length.

The recent railway wreck on . the â€"rand Trunk Railway in Canada, in vhich twenty or thirty persons we’-rel illed, has caused a revival of _ the iscusgion," espécially in this vicinity here railway wrecks have occurred vith alarming frequency during the ast year. ‘Railway men are not among those ‘ho discuss. this question seriously, his problem, to all intents and urposes, was solved by them ° long go. When the railway superintenient ears the mere report of a wreck, he anâ€"tell, if he knows the makeâ€"up of train and whether it was a headâ€" n or readâ€"end collision, which of the ars received the brunt of the shock. Raiiway _ wrecks in © the neighborâ€" ood of Cleveland are usually of the earâ€"end collision or headâ€"on raricty} nd in no case . in the last Jecade, ave the casualities been heavy. ‘Anâ€" ther kind of wreck is caused by the preading of rails. There have . Lcen hree or four of these near Cleveland ithin the last two years: "As a general principle, it is.safé o stick to the Pullman cars," is the dvice .of an old railroader, ‘""and if here are.no Pullmans on the train, ize up the carsâ€"and try and occupy ke heaviest of timm.

Unless this ar is extraordinarily heavy, it i’ ound to" suffer. In every wreck the as token place néar this city durâ€" ng the last two years the hmq ar has borne the brunt of the shock. n the train.
