FRUIT JAR MANUFACTURE.
Muncie Concern the Largest in the
wOrId-RecOrd of Prosperity.

L. A. Clark, traffic manager for the
Ball Brothers Glass Manufa curing Com
pany, of Muncie, was at the Hotel English
yesterday, and w. L. Laird. travelling
freight agent of the Chicago Great West
ern road, and ]. f. Vallery, who occupies
the same position with the c., B. O.,
were there to consult with him regarding
shipments. A story of prosperity and brisk
business WAS brought out through the
meeting of the three men. Mr.. Clark says
the Muncie establishment which he rep
resents has the reputation of being the
biggest fruit jar manufacturing establish
ment in the world In the neighborhood of
110O men, boys and girls are employed
I'VE have no labor troubles on hand, y
said Mr. Clark, and about the only trouble
| know of is the inability of some of the
mills in Muncie to get enough men to do
the work" Mr.. Clark says his company
shipped ous of Muncie this year over 1000
carloads of fruit jars, each car contain
ing about 21.0O0 jars. The company, in
order to be prepared for failure of nat
ural gas. is putting in a plant which will
not move away from Muncie, but, should
gas fail, il will be prepared TO go right
ahead with its work. Mr.. Clark estimates
that should there be a failure of gas the
Big Four Railroad could afford to haul
coal to the factory at a loss, rather than
have the establishment move away. The
company Is putting III d COuNcIlSI lIldl
will cost about $4,000 Come over to
Muncie,'' said Mr.. Clark, land I'll show
you Is, 900 fruit jars lying on the ground
covering a space of about six acres"
Freight Agent Laird in speaking of the
prosperity OF the railroads. declared that
within a year the Chicago Great West
ern will have sufficiently added to its lines
to cover a territory of 1000 miles, with 1,5O0
miles of track. The record of shipments
over the Western roads during the last
fall is unprecedented, said Mr.. Laird. 1T
,r-.l f~r h. Cnfd flxr he n.nt
that the people of the West are prosper
Gus and are buying more of the necessities
of life than they have before. A large
proportion Of the merchandise which is
being moved West these days consists of
high-class stuff. such as dry goods, silks
satins, pianos. organs and high grade We
hicles OF all descriptions. The records show
that in the last six months the Eastern
banks have furnished less money to the
Western banks for the moving of crops
than during any like period. This simply
means that the Western people have money
to move their crops, without the assist
ance of Eastern bankers.

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
MORE TALK ABOUT STRAWBOARD
FACTORY CONSOLIDATION.
William Babcock, Jr.. of New York,
at the Hotel EngIish-Other
Hotel Visitors.

William Babcock, jr., representing Dean
& SHIRLEY. bankers and brokers, of New
York, is here in the interests of the gi
gantic consolidation of strawboard estab-
lshments that is being talked of. Mr.. Bah
cock is staying at the Hotel English. He
said yesterday that arrangements have
been ma lie to hold a meeting at Buffalo on
Dec. II, Is and 10, when the question of the
consolidation of the different interests will
be settled definitely. Mr.. Babcock says
the combination, if brought about, is not
to be in the nature of a trust, as no bonds
are to be put the market. Each inter
est going into the consolidation will take
preferred stock for the value of their plant.
1t is the proposition to bring together
in this consolidation all the boxboard in
terests in the United States. This will in
clude strawboard, wood pulp, soda-fiber and
sulphate factories in the country. There
are nearly 100 plants, including the Ameri-
can Strawboard plants, in the United
States. The Beverage Paper Company, OF
this city, is one of the establishments that
will have an opportunity of going into the
consolidation. Other Indiana establish
ments are located at Muncie, Yorktown,
Kokomo, Hartford City, Vincennes, Rock
port and Carthage. Mr.. Babcock says the
earnings of the mills throughout the coun-
try have probably amounted TO to ~ per
cent. on the capital invested. 1t is an
nounced that if this consolidation is
brought about the capital invested will be
between SO 900, 600 and s24.0OOO00. The pre-
ferred stock issued to the different inter-
ests in payment for their plants will be
considered first lien on the property.
Common stock will be issued based on
the earnings Mr.. Babcocks firm is pro-
noting the enterprise. He declares the
consolidation is not for the purpose OF
raising prices but is rather to maintain
the stability of prices. The total produc-
ton OF all these mills is in the neighbor-
hood of 1,500 TO 800 tons a day, Mr.. Bah
cock says He announces that the con-
solidation will probably not take place UNI

date for representative from Wabash

ton. THE Republican party as party
came into existence In 1854" said Mr. Sayre
last night. Since that time Democrat

life in that county. This incident is owing
to the belief Of the people there that the

very best averages low"
