As Right-of-Way the
Canal Is Valuable
And Property Should be Re-
tained by the State.
Intimated That the Railroads vii
Form a Trust.

In referring to Mr.. Merion's bill to
abandon the Ohio canal from Colum-
bus to Middleport, City Councilman
L. Dwight Paul said as follows to .
reporter for the Democrat:
"If the State abandons the use Of
the canal, it ought, by all means, to
retain the property, as 1t is very val
liable as right-ow-way for railroad.
"The time is coming now when all
the railroads are going into the trust
to do away with competition. They
will thus be enabled to charge what
ever rates they please.
"a railroad built on this right-of-way
would reach the principal cities of the
State, and If il is owned and controil-
ed by the State, as it could be in this
case, it would act the same in saving
citizens of Ohio from exorbitant
freight charges, same as did the canal
In former years. Conditions are rap
idly shaping themselves so that ths
State will not have TO hold this prop
erty very long before the necessity Of
such action will be seen.
"It would be great misfortune &C
this property We're wasted, or given
away to private corporations"
Commenting on the suggestion that
il the fall in the canal at this city
were used as water power, the locks
to be eliminated and the water allow
ed to shoot down in n fume. suf cient
power might be secured to supply all
the electricity for Akron Cleveland
and adjoining cities, Mr.. Paul merely
said: "Oh, l don't think the amount
of electricity produced by this
water fal! would be very great"

800 men
Will be Employed
At the Artificial Lumber
Plant.
Men Who Were Employed
Before 1891 "
will Return to Barberton to
Work.
New Industry Attracts Worldwide
Attention.
Special Correspondence


Barbcrton, Jan. 30.-Actiye work will
be commenced next Thursday on
building additions to the American
Strawboard plant. The Artificial Lum-
Der Co. Of America, has been organized
and artificial lumber will be manufac-
tured In two months in connection
with the strawboard.
Mr.. II. A. Fritz. superintendent of
the strawboard works, said Monday
afternoon to Democrat reporter: 1--WE
will commence Feb. 1, to get the shop
in order, preparatory to starting as
soon as everything is in shape. At
present We employ 80 men, but when
working full force, 200 to 800 hands
will have employment. All the old
men who were here in 1891 before the
works closed down, will be brought
back"
The new product means another
industry for Barberton that will at
tract wcrld wide attention.
Speaking Of the invention, the New
York World says:
Because OF the immense CONNER
cial value of Mr.. Gardeners invention
number of capitalists have taken
hold Of it and formed the Artificial
Lumber Company of America. This
corporation has been organized under
the laws of New Jersey, with capital
of $12,000,OOO, divided in S3,500,O0O
per cent. cumulative preferred stock,
and $500, 900 common stock.
"a plant. fully equipped with ma
chinery, and with capacity Of 10000
feet a day, is Mt Barbcrton, O. The
earning capacity of this single plant is
$45O,000 year. During the present
year additional plants will be erected
near this city, one in the west and one
in Canada. Negotiations are now in
progress with European bankers who
propose to form corporations for the
manufacture and sale of artificial lum-
ber in. England, France,and Germany"

Columbus, Jan. 30.-Twenty-five citi-
zens of Cincinnati, all Of them indie
pendent Republicans, met the Senate
Committee on Municipal Corporations
No. / on Monday evening and urged
that the Cincinnati Ripper bill, intro
duced by Senator Nippert last week,
be not recommended for passage.
The speakers based their arguments
upon the fact that city's affairs
should be conducted upon business
principles without regard to politics.
This desirable end, they thought, has
been attained in large degree under
the administration of the present
Board of City Affairs and existing con-
ditions will, they hoped, be preserved
after the election in April, when the
terms Of two members of the Board
expire, their places to be filed by pop
ular vote. The members of the dele
CATION felt that machine rule has been
so far broken that the people will see
to 1t that competent and trustworthy
men are chosen to these important po-
sitions of trust. The visitors argued
that the right Of conducting their own
affairs should be left with the citizens
themselves and should not be given
to the Governor of the State.
Judge d. II. Wright. of the Court Of
Common Pleas of Cincinnati. presented
statistics from the City Auditors re-
ports, whereby he showed that the ad-
ministration of the City under the
present Board of City Affairs, has been
far more economical In every depart
ment than was the case under the
former board of administration. Com
pairing the expenditures Of the year
1890 with the annual average for the
5 years preceding, he said that the
Board now in power has saved to the
city a total of s2oe.474.o5.

"Robert Fitzsimmons this morning

of anything that happened in the

round. -
"This is the first time" Fitzslmmons
said, "tlat have ever made the open

that many Of my friends believe that
