SHOE MAN HERE.
S. Webber is Looking for Location
for q Factory.

Mr.. s. Weber of Menominee, Michi-
gan, is in the city today. Mr.. Weber
is the maker Of the Weber shoes.
Mr.. Weber is visiting a number OF
western cities in the hope of finding a
location where a plant for the manu-
facture of the shoes may be erected.
Among the cities he has in mind are
Sioux City, Omaha, ST. Joseph, Kansas
City, Topeka and Ottumwa, Ia.
Two thirds of the trade which this
shoe firm has is in the states of Kansas,
Nebraska and Missouri The plant which
supplies this trade is in Menominee,
Mich, and the enormous freight rates
charged on shipments of goods to the
customers in this section of the country
makes it advisable to establish fac
tory in the center of the trade territory.
Mr.. Weber wants no bonus to locate.
He makes the following proposition: Let
q company of Topeka men incorporate
and either rent or build plant and Mr..
Weber viii give them the privilege of
making the Weber seamless shoe and
he will make his money by taking a
certain percent of the profits.
Mr.. Weber states that the trade
which would accrue to a factory in this
section of the country would keep a
plant with capacity of 600 pairs of
shoes daily, busy. A plant of this size
would employ about 100 men with a
weekly pay roll of about s., 900.
Mr.. Weber has been in correspon-
dence with Major Anderson in regard to
the matter. but owing to Mr. Anderson
absence from the city this week he took
the matter up with D ]. Greenwald and
p. I. Bonebralxe.
They were in consultation together
about this matter the greater part of the
day. 1t is stated that it is quite likely
that the Commercial club will interest
itself in the affair and that a company
will be formed to carry out Mr.. Web
ber's plans. Two weeks time is given
to decide the question.
A Lyndon man after reading the an
nouncement in the State Journal that
a IN 10 n q i'm
mediately telegraphed Mr.. Weber that
Lyndon would like to secure the plant
and that they could probably raise a
there.

a power in local politics, was accidental

EXPORT COAL
The Basis of Organization of a New
Steamship Line.

New oYrk, Aug. 27-H. S. Fleming,
secretary of the Anthracite Coal Opera
tors association, will sail today for
Europe Mr.. Fleming made a tour of
Europe two years ago to investigate the
possibilities of increasing the export
anthracite coal business of the United
States. 1t is understood the present trip
is to arrange additional facilities for
carrying both anthracite and bituminous
coal across the ocean and for handling
it when it arrives at the various Medi-
terranean ports. There is reason to be-
lieve that the organization of a new
transportation company is contemplated
for the express purpose of carrying large
quantities of coal to Europe.
Mr.. Fleming, it is understood, has Sc
cured bids for the construction and
equipment of new ocean-going steam
ships of large capacity, both from Amer
lean shipbuilding companies and from
companies in England, Belgium and
Norway.
