TO MAKE BIG GUNS.
Carnegie Co. to Enter the Field
Against the Krupps.
Plant to Be Erected at Homestead to
Employ 5000 Men.
SAID that Large Government Contracts will
Be Awaiting Them.

New York. Sept. 25.-That the Car
negie Company OF Pittsburg contein-
plates the establishment OF a plant for
the manufacture OF all kinds OF guns
on a large scale is practically con-
firmed by II. C. Prick. who left New
York, for PNtsburg. tonight.
Dispatches from McKeesport. Pa.
gave the first intimation that the Car
negie intended going into this branch
OF the business. 1t Is proposed to 10
cate Mt Homestead a plant to be de-
voted to the manufacture OF guns Ut
all calibres which will rival the plant
Of the Krupps in Germany. A plot Ut
ground about q acres in extent was
recently acquired. at a cost, 1t Is said.
OF $34O. 600. This land is located on the
Monongahela river. and the plant will
be about one-haf mile from the arnOr
plate mills. 1t will comprise four huge
buildings. capable Of giving employ
ment to 5000 workmen.
The fact that this plant Is to be located
at Homestead. the scene Of the disas-
trous riots OF six years ago. demon
strates the truthfulness OF the report
that the Carnegie Co. has come to q
and has cause to believe that the pleas
ant relations now existing will not be
disturbed for many years at least.
II is also reported that the Illinois Steel
Co. will soon enter the field as a manu-.
facturer Of guns. ranging from the small
rapid-flre arm to the largest disappearing
rifle used in coast defence.
The report cannot be confirmed. and
President Schwab of the Carnegie Co..
who was at the Holland house. Friday.
said that he had reasons for believing
that the Illinois Steel Co. would not
branch out In this direction. Mr.. Schwab
Is said to have confirmed the report that
his company will make guns. and to have
gone further and said that II is assured
OF large order from the government
just as soon as its new plant is In opera.
ton.
Mr.. Frick said:
The Carnegie Co. con;emplates some
considerable additions to it's working
plant. Business Is reviving all over the
country and we expect to increase our
working force soon. We have decided to
put up some new buildings at Homestead
and will compete for all branches of bus
mess.
Yes. have seen the report that we
are to manufacture guns for the govern
ment. but our plans in that direction are
too much underlined to warrant my dis
cussing them mt any length. cannot
affirm the report. neither, will / deny H..
If we satisfy ourselves that the move
would be a good one for ourselves. our
men and the country. We will make it,"

manifested throughout the state, and
the work of preparing county celebra-
tions, to be held May 18th, is pro-
crossing rapidly. The movement has
led to the formation of a strong po-
ciety in the northern part of the state,
known as the North Wisconsin His
torical society, whose field of investi-
cation will include Ashland, Bayfield,,
Iron, Sawyer and Price counties. The
existing pioneer societies of Winneba-

the matter in hand, and organizations
are now being formed in Grant, Craw-
ford, La Crosse, Outagamie, Manito-
voc, Douglas, Barron, Dodge, Mar
inette and Racine counties, and in
dividuals in nearly every other county
in the state have opened correspond
ence with the general committee.

becoming numerous and dangerous
this winter. Frequent depreciation

the latter are suffering from hunger.
In the vicinity of Morse, seven miles
from this city, the wolves are very
numerous and aggressive. They have
attacked men who Travelled through
the woods. Thomas Meredith had an
experience with a hungry wolf near
Morse. While going to his work in
the woods as land hunter, a large,
hungry wolf followed his tracks and
suddenly grabbed him by the leg,
tearing his boot top and decorating
his leg. At the time Meredith had
Woodsman's ak in his hand, and turn
ing struck at the wolf Though the
weapon went wide of it's mark, Mere
9th however, succeeded in driving
the animal away. The wolf shortly
returned and Meredith had a second
fight with the hungry animal Other
woodmen in that section report that
animals have been seen in droves of
ten to fifteen and that up and down
the river they have well beaten
track.
