This term might be applied to Stevens
Point, located on the Wisconsin Central
lines, at the gateway to the vast forest re-
gion which extends north to Lake Superior,
distance of 300 miles, without break. on
account Of its vast lumber interests. The
Wisconsin river, to which the lumbermen
have given the familiar and somewhat
affectionate title Of "Old Wiscons," not
alone acts as lumber feeder to the city by
furnishing through its numerous tributa-
ries an outlet for thousands of acres of
pine in the upper country, but it furnishes
a water power that is second only to that
Of Neenah and Menasha, which cities are
also located on the Central" Millions of
feet Of lumber are cut every year, giving
employment to hundreds of men. In ad-

WASHINGTON, March 8.-Hon. Charles

an unfortunate precedent to make that the

The eyes of the entire country were on the

congress for thirty years. With regard to
the question relating to the Journal
1t was customary to read the journal every

interviewed.
WASHINGTON, March 8.-The. senate
committee on coast defenses has made a
report to accompany the bill reported last
week. The committee says that in view of
the difference of opinion existing as to the
exact place on the Pacific coast where the
factory should be located, the committee is
Of the opinion that its location should be
left to the decision of a board of competent
experts to be appointed by the president as
provided for in the bill. 1t appears from
the statement of the chief of ordnance that
if there is to be no large establishment of
this kind on the Pacific coast there will be
need Of two small establishments for re-
pairs, one to be located at Benicia and the
other further north on the Columbia river
or on Puget Sound. The bill appropriates
$1,00o,0O0 for the erection Of a suitable
building, the purchase of suitable ma
chinery and other ma terials
SAN Francisco, March 8.-Irying M.
Scott was interviewed in reference to the
proposed factory to be erected by the In
corpoTated Union Forge company for cast
ing on heavy guns at Benicia, and he said !:
'"Hhe factory will be for finishing and as
sembling of heavy ordnance. What we
propose to do is to manufacture material
for guns, rough finished. This material
will be tested and then put together by the
government. 1t does not depend so much
on pre- paratlons as OH the contract. The
ordnance committee has recommended
that a certain number of guns be placed
for the protection of the Atlantic and Pa
cific ports OF that number certain pro-
SNf1
We want to see our productive re-
sources put on the same plane as
those of the Atlantic, and have gone
into the business on that line
The steel which we propose to manu-
facture for new guns will be the Siemens
Martens open hearth steel. The making
of big guns require the best kind OF steel
any how and material has to be very care
fully made. 1t can be made on this coast
by converting fuel into gas, We have
metal right here, free from sulphur and
PHOSPHORUS and as soon as we. create a
market for billets, as the government has
sought, we shall have no difficulty in
handling all the crude product that comes
to us. Steel castings obtained from Pacific
rolling mills have been superior in quality
and physical condition to those obtained
from the last. AS 10 the factories
at Benicia, concluded Mr. Scott,
"I will say that place possesses all the
facilities for making and assembling
the guns. There is plenty of water on the
front at Benicia for vessels of deep draught
and the sight is sufficiently far inland to
be safe from attacks of foreign enemies. 1t
is near to population ofabout 100000 peo-
pie. Let me add that this new corporation
is not the Union Iron Works concern. 1t
is composed of representative citizens who
aim chiefly to avoid difficulties and risks
of overland transportation which in the
| case of 16-inch Guns are prohibited

miles south of this city, on the Baltimore

assaulted J. K. Mcmillan, shifting con-
ductor. After they bound and gagged him,
he was carried some distance away and
tied to post. The desperadoes then re-
lieyed him of his watch and money and af-
ter threatening to kill him if he tried to
make noise, they went to the telegraph
tower, and at the point of a revolver forced
the operator to surrender He was bound
and gagged, after which he was relieved of
his yaluables. The robbers next turned
their attention to the safe office. 1t was
locked but they blewit open with charge
Of powder. The reportattracted the atten-
ton Of the trainmen in the vicinity, and

which was scattered over the room. The
entire detective force Of the Baltimore &

of the perpetrators of the outrage, but up
to noon they had not been captured.
