A site has been chosen on the Michigan
road, at the west end of Twelfth street. for
tho extensive building of the J. b. Allfree
Manufacturing Company for the manufact-
ure of its line of patent mill machinery.
The company employs about two hundred
skilled workmen, AND recently refused an
offer of $780, 600 to remove to one of the gas
towns Of the State. deeming it better policy
to remain in Indianapolis and pay for its
building site. The location chosen by the
company gives them fine switching facili-
ties and excellent streets for drayage to
the freight stations. The removal to the
new location will take place about the LIST
of August, and already contracts are let
for thirty of forty new houses for the off,
GERS and men in the factory, in the new adj
dition known az Marlette Park. 1t lies just

ASKING TO COME In.


The opinion is expressed off-hand 10y sew
eral well known attorneys that it is en-
tirely practicable for the city to permit the
Peoples Natural gas and Light Company
to lay mains as q private corporation to
supply its own stockholders. without treat
ing IL as q public concern, subject to the
regulations OF the gas ordinance. If such
proves to be the opinion of the city at
torney the company will meet no opposi-
ton from either the Board of Public Works
or the Council. for public sentiment is
about unanimous in favor Of letting the
new company In.
II do not own any property in the East
End and Am not interested in the new
company" said o lawyer, yester-
day, "but 1 certainly think il is
good policy to let all the natural
gas companies In that will come in. People
are beginning to appreciate the fact that
the Journal was right when il fought the
effort of the Trust to shut every body else

panies here, charging rates regulated by
law, the city would be immensely better

purely cooperative, it must get enough
subscribers to its stock 70 assure the pay
ment for its plant. This it can never do in
the world If the people there are not given
to understand that unless they subscribe
they cannot get gas. More than half of
them are bound TO hold back If they be-
lieve they can compel the company to give
them gas without subscribing to the stock
The Trust is doing business now. and has
been for more than q year. upon that very
plan OF not giving gas unless the customer
subscribes 500 for two shares of stock.

like the gas ordinance to stand in the way
of this plan In the least. There's a funny
thing about that that / can't understand
said Col. Bill Hicklin the other day as he
mopped his brow and philosiphized about
men and things. "When q man sues the
Trust under the ordinance. they come into
court with long faces an they amt got
any gas. Can't obey the ordinance. and
make connections, cause it's a physical
impossibility: amt got any gas to give 'em.
But if a man III subscribe a hundred dollars
stock, then they've got gas all right. If he
won't tell anybody hat he got ii. IL kind
% beats me how they amt got any gas for

The Brazilian Coffee Crop.

Brazilian coffee crop estimates are COM
mencing to ripen. The Rio News says;
lit is evident now that the estimate OF
$500, 900 bags for the lS90-9l crop was cor
rect, and we incline TO believe that the
factors estimate of 4.500.00O bags for the
1912 crop will also prove 10 be reliable.
1t must be confessed, however, that SO
much depends on the supply OF labor that
it is very questionable whether Rio will be
able TO export 4.500.000 bags, unless the
state of Espirito Santo contributes freely to
our supply
'sAs to the Santos crop. we think 8, 500
coo bags for the 1912 shipment is fair
estimate. The Tymburiba, OF Rezende,
says: Trustworthy opinions estimated
short while ago the 1S9l-92 coffee crop at
5000, 900 bags. but that only 1000, 600 could
be brought TO the deposit, on account of the
disorganizatiOn of labor and difficulty in
obtaining laborers. To-day, however, the
uncertain weather proves TO US that the
above estimate was greatly exaggerated,
and that a rigorous estimate will give
100000 bags, subject TO thousand posi-
bilities.
The crop, rs promised by the magnificent
November blossom. is more than half sacri-
feed; besides which the ripening has been
extremely irregular. and It IS frequent TO
see, even now, orchards subjected 10 all
sorts of dangers. There are orchards with
fruit ready for gathering, perfectly green,
but formed fruit, fruit not Yet developed,
and which promise Yet another blossom.
In the west of ST Paulo the coffee crop IS
extremely Insignificant, and the coffee-pro-
ducing zones OF AGnaS promise nothing. l.
is the state of Rio that the crop appears 10
in most abundant, without, however. cor
responding to the expectations of the
planters. The coming crop at current
prices is estimated At 90, Cos, 600 millreas.
