THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR.

The interest of the American public
in the South African war has tagged Of
late owing to the general impress on
gained from the cabled reports of
operations and the situation in general
that the conflict was practically over,
or had degenerated into a mere desul-
tory guerilla warfare.
How erroneous this impression is is
now shown by the renewed agitation
of the subject in England. which is
seriously depressed over the recent
losses OF the British forces. The enor-
nous territory over which the Beers
are now operating proves that they
have the contest well in hand as the

THE PROPOSED NEW INDUSTRY.

the Board Of Trade which has Deeh
negotiating with Mr.. Conradson' oil
Wilmington. Del, for the establishment
in Wheeling Of a mandatory for tur-
ret lathes should have no trouble n
rIinching the bargain at an early DATE
The new industry will involve an
outlay of about a quarter of a million
dollars. Mr.. Conradson simply
asks the guarantee of local support
and good will by the subscription OF
local people TO the stock of the enter
prise to the amount OF $4,000
This sum should be readily forth
. coming. The investment is first
class one. IT is not new venture but
wei established industry. Mr.. Con-
radson, the patentee and manufacturer
OF the turret lathe. now has an annual
demand for the new lathe of 175,00o.
Heretofore he has let contracts for
making these machines to number OF
different firms throughout the country
and consequently has had great diff
ficulty in filling his orders promptly.
Il is his intention, as we have already
pointed out. to build one large factory
capable of supplying all Of this growing
trade, which now includes such Gus
toners as the great locomotive works
and the largest machine shops in the
country, so that the output may be &C
81. I'D irNf1 Y
shipped.
It is not a cash bonus that is asked
but simply a substantial guarantee Of
local support, which win receive sub
stantial return.
1t Will be safe and should be a well
paying investment from the start and
there should be no difficulty in secur-
ing subscriptions to the $4,000 of
stock which local people are asked to
subscribe.
In searching for new industries. We
cannot hope to compete with other
communities-even though they have
fewer natural advantages than ours
unless We are prepared to put up sub
stantial inducements and to meet the
cash offers Of other cities seeking new
industries
Fine proposed turret lathe works
will at the start employ from 200 to 800
skilled men and when thoroughly es-
tablished it is expected it Will employ
from 300 to 500 skilled mechanics be-
sides other labor.
The Board of Trade should find it
easy to push along so good thing.
