A GOOD FACTORY SCHEME.
Feasible Way in Which lola Could
Get Factories and GIVE
Bonuses Too.

The Indiana men who recently visit
ed lola with schemes to locate fac
tories here provided bonuses were
given are now working inthe southern
part of the State. The bonus bust
ness rather startles the citizens there,
too, and the following scheme to dodge
this painful sine quo non has been
brought up and could be worked here
equally as well.
The Independence Reporter says:
A plan of operations that finds
favor with a number of our citizens
and seems likely to be adopted, is as
follows;
1t is proposed to buy a tract of land
suitably located near the city, reserve
a portion of it for factory locations,
lay off the balance into town lots,
sell the lots and hold the money as a
fund out of which bonuses may be
paid for the location of factories.
With the money on hand ready for
use, probably the next step would be
to send someone where the factories
are now, and point out to them the

Mr.. A Voorhees,, OF Allendale, was
in town Tuesday and had sample OF
some early peaches he has on his
place. He intended the fruit as an
Offering to county treasurer Decker,
but the latter had adjourned to his
home and Mr.. VOORHEES, gave them to
the REGISTER where they were apprec-
lated without mental reservation.
Mr.. VOORHEES, says that without in
tending it he seems tohave pretty near
corner on the peach crop OF his
neighborhood.
A good many of the young men en-
gagged here at the cement plant are
sons of wealthy eastern capitalists
who sent their boys out here to be put
through a course of work. Among
these is Mr.. Garberson who has taken
to work like hen to water. He kept
pegging away, however, and the other
day received letter from his father
instructing him to come to Chicago
and join the family in little sprint
over to Paris. Garberson then and
there gave beautiful exposition OF
how to be an obedient son, which
ought surely to delight the paternal
heart

Pleased With the Cement Plant.

The entire firm of Holmes, Holmes
q Beaton, the Detroit bankers who
are back of the lola Portland Cement
Company. were in town yesterday.
They looked over the plant from one
end to the other and Rugged them
selves in Joy at its goodly appearance
and the way it is working out the cal
culations made on paper.
1t was while they were on the
ground that the determination was
reached to make extensions and en-
gage in the cooperage business. Mr..
John Y. Holmes has asserted all the
time that he knew how he could oper-
ate several small factories here in
addition to the big one, to advantage
and he told the commercial club that
when they were thinking of bonusing
some factory they might save money
by giving him less and getting as
much in return. The wareroOm which
is now 800 feet long will be extended
at both ends and when the last nail
is driven will be about 1920 feet long,
making quite shed.
The cooperage business was de-
cided upon rather under protest. Bar
rels require lot of room for storage,
while sacks do not. The sacks are
charged to the cement buyers and a
rebate allowed on their return, Sc
uuch of the cement in this mart of the
country is barrelled that the dealers
demand it that way and the company
will put up building and ship cal
loads of slaves here and have the bar
rels set up. 1t would be nice thing
if an arrangement could be made
whereby the whole operation of barre
making could be done here, but it IL
cheaper to buy the slaves at the mills

advantages that we have to offer and
secure the best possible results.
With factories employing several
hundreds of men actually located, the
lots would become valuable and those
who will have purchased them to aid
the enterprise, would get their money
back in very short time. The city
can materially help this enterprise
by condemning part of the land for
streets and alleys and paying for the
land condemned. The plan seems en-
tirely practicable and we hopeto seeit
carried out without delay.

BOTH ARMS ARE BROKEN
j. f. Edwards Fell From a ScaffOld-
ing at the Cement Plant and
Received Severe Injuries

About 8 O'Clock Thursday j. f..
Edwards while working on the iron
work beneath the roof of the south
building at the cement plant was pre-
cipitated to the hard ground below by
the tipping up of the board on which
he stood. Both of his arms were
broken below the elbow by the fall
and severe gashes on his head rem
dered him unconscious for some
hours. DR.. Teas was summoned and
his injuries attended to and he was re-
moved to the Dunkard hospital
Those who have visited the works
remember that the metal roof is high
above the ground and the workmen
put it together in sections, the iron
frame work being put in place first.
Mr.. Edwards was standing on board
which rested on two of these metal
cross beams and IN some way stepped
out on the end. The board flew W
and he was pitched to the ground,
losing every chance to catch himself.
Those who saw him fall say he turned
over and struck the ground with his
head and with the backs Of his wrists,
his arms being doubled under him.
This accounts for the broken arms,

tured, but the deep flesh wounds made
him delirious and he talked wildly

Arthur Brigham Breaks an Arm

Wednesday Arthur Brigham ana
several other boys had a picnic out
south oftown severalmiles. When they
started home Arthur and a Young
Simpson boy persuaded passing
farmer to allow them to ride into
town on top of his load of hay. They
scrambled up and when the wagon
stopped at Miller's mill in the south
part of town the Simpson boy slid ia
the ground down the side of the load.
Arthur followed but struck the pole OF
the wagon at the rear of the load and
was turned to one side. His right
arm was broken a short distances
above the wrist but he sustained no
other injuries. He was taken home
and the fracture set and thanks to his
youth and health will probably have
forgotten all about it in few months
hence.

Is the Name Decided Upon by the In
c~OrpOrators.

pany which is planning to build a new
power house on an extensive plan to select
a site for the building, made a report yes
terday to the ~incorporators of the COM
pany, at a meeting held at the Office of the

reported that II had three sites under con-
sfderation. One is on Capitol avenue, just
south Of Georgia street. Another Is the
Little Hotel property, on East Washing
ton street, and a third Is a piece Of ground
at the corner of Senate avenue and Mary
and street. The incorporators discussed
the three sites and then referred the mat
ter back TO the committee, with instruc-
tons to make a report. again in two weeks
from yesterday. The committee Is COM
posed of Charles +. Coffin, A. A. Barnes
and Frank Maus Fauvre.
The new concern is to be called the Pow
er Building Company. Its plant is to erect
large number Of plants. 1t is more espe-
cially intended for the benefit OF the small
er establishments, so that their proprietorS
may be able to secure power for their
plants at a comparatively small expense.
There was not a full meeting of the incor-
porators yesterday, which was one reason
the others did not take definite action.

Brief I'm Gas Company Case.

A brief vas filed in the Supreme Court
yesterday by the appellants in the case of
the Manufacturers Gas and Oil Company
against the Indiana Gas and Oil Company.
The case involves the question as to
whether gas companies may be legally pro-
hibited from piping oil and gas out of the
State. The appellants set forth in their
brief that natural gas is a commodity and
may be transported the same as coal or
petroleum, and therefore when gas or oil
assumes such form that 1t may be trans
ported from the State it becomes a COM
mercial commodity. When they have be-
come commercial commodities the State
from which they are transported has not
the right to prohibit their transportation.

diately shook Dugree off his perch.
This time Dugree was not so lucky in

to rise, ran over him, breaking his
right leg.
