REPORTS
By Ohio Manufacturers
May be Withheld Without Violat.
ing the Law.

Columbus, O., May 16.--(Spl)--At-
torney General Sheets has rendered
an opinion which will seriously inter
fere with the gathering of statistics
from manufacturers during the coming
year. The state Labor Commission
or, NJ. D. Ratchford, desired to ask
manufacturers as to the amount OF
goods made, the amount Of goods on
hand at the beginning of the year, the
amount of goods on hand at the begin
ming of the year 1900 the amount of
material on hand at the beginning of
the years 1900 and 1901 and the
amount OF material and stock on hand
at the beginning Of the present year.
Attorney General Sheets holds that this
is information which the manufac-
turers can withhold under the law as
being purely private.

SURPRISED
Mas a Visitor From
Ashland
With the Building Boom at Akron
and Vicinity.

When in Akron last Friday Press
representative saw many evidences Of
the great success in the building line of
j. w. Myers & Co., of this place, says
the Ashland Press. j. w, Myers
spends about all of his time there and
if it was not for his fine home here,
we fear Ashland would lose him as a
citizen. The Hamilton block Is the
greatest monument of the firms sue
cess. 1t cost $24O,OOO, and contains
$4,000 worth Of marble in the cor
ridors and hall. 1t Is as fire proof as
a building can be made, and is finished
very beautifully. One store occupying
part of the first floor pays $4,000
rent for 10 years. Fl. b. Camp is one
of the owners OF the building.
j. w. Myers & Co. and Carmichael
& Co., of which Mr.. Myers is a mem-
ber, are now building in South Akron
the Colonial Salt works, 500 feet long
by 400 feet wide and very costly, the
Miller school building in South Akron,
costing $4,000, and furnishing the
woodwork for II. B. Camps new tile
fat costing $4,000,
In the past j. ". Myers & Co. have
built, besides the Hamilton block, part
OF the Soda Ash works in Barberton
for $4,000, the Akron City Water
Works plant for $4,000, the Akron
postoffice for $65,oOo, the Akron En-
gineering Co.'S plant worth $4,000,
and 35 dwellings in Barberton. All
the woodwork used in these buildings
is turned out in j. w. Myers & Co.'S
plant here, and some of it is very
fine in design. James Mcdaniel, Of the
firm, was in Akron last Thursday TAX
ing measurements for large amount
of work.

WHERE FISH HOOKS GO.

Many Varieties of Barbs For Followers of Izaak
Walton---Many Made In Switzerland.

are retaled to the local anglers who
industriously fish the docks"
This dealer stated that his firm
alone sold 100000 fish hooks annually.
Many of them are shipped long dis
tances, but he insisted that a conserya-
tive estimate for Cleveland and it's
immediate locality was 100000 hooks.
One thousand hooks weigh one and
one-half pounds. That makes total
of $50 pounds for this neighborhood
alone. A box of 100 ordinary hooks
retails for about 10 cents.
"Curiously enough" said the dealer,
America imports most of her fish
hooks from England They all come
form the village of Ridditch, and a
manufacturer by the name of Allcox
turns out the best of them. They are
all hand made, and the little children
of Ridditch file and polish our fish
hooks. There is now one American
company located at Akron. They
turned out millions of hooks last year"
Fish hooks are made in u bewllder-
ing variety of styles and sizes. The
quality is determined by the twist
and shape of the hook. The wire of
which they are made varies with the
size. The dealer exhibited one size
that semed too small for practical use
on any fish. This is the hook that
has supplanted the bent pin in the
favor Of the small boy who pursues
the elusive minnow. Two hooks were
exhibited that figure in ocean fishing.
One was six inches in length and
seemed enormous until the last size
appeared on the counter. This hook
was eighteen inches in length with a
shaft as large as a finger and a
swivel eye in which chain is run.
The dealer named several fish that this
instrument was designed for. To the
uninitiate6 it seemed intended for
sperm whales.
The 100000 hooks used by local fish
ermen are of much smaller size and
common quality.

HOME
From Florida For
the Summer.
Return of Mr.. and Mrs.
Cutter.
Friends Do Not Recog-
nize the Former.
Florida Has Had a Successful
Year.

Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. L. Gutter have ar
rived from their Florida home where
they have spent the winter, both in
excellent health. Many of Mr.. Cutters
friends do not recognize him. His long
flowing beard is gone. In its place
is beard of the average length and
of fashionable cut. 1T was so warm
and my beard had become so long that
went to have it trimmed as we
were coming home. and the barber
promising to do a neat job. let him
clip away more than usual"
Mr. Cutter has worn beard for IS
years. A razor has not touched his
face since he went into the army
in 1868. Most of that time his beard
has been of such length as to make
his tall figure conspicuous anywhere.
Speaking of Florida, Mr.. Gutter ex-
pressed great confidence in the future
of that state and of all the south
This season has been good one with
the fruit growers, and the next orange
crop promises to be three times as
large. Tomato growers have done
very well this year also. Many les
sons have been learned by the fruit
and vegetable growers and though the
thermometer might go down to 10,
which is very rare occurrence, the
orange grower is not much alarmed.
His trees will stand it.
The demand for Florida oranges and
grape fruit grows greater from year
to year, and better prices by far are
paid than for the California product.

The last annual statement of the
Enterprise Manufacturing Co. shows
that that concern made and sold more
than 10000, 900 fish hooks last year.
Many people have no doubt won
dered what becomes of this immense
number of hoks. The following, taken
from the Cleveland Leader, gives some
information on the matter. 1t reads:
Dealers in sporting goods says that
the problem of what becomes of the
fish hook makes the often repeated
question of "Where do all the pins 80
to?' appear trivial and insignificant.
A conservative estimate places the
number of common fish hooks sold
every year in the vicinity of Cleve-
land at 100000. Probably over twice
that number are sold through Cleve-
land jobbers, but the local disciples
of Izaak Walton use enough to raise
a stare from the casual Investigator.
The discovery that such Il number
of hooks is annually used lends color
to the stories of the biggest fish
saw got away with my hook" "rhc
man who tells that story is looked
upon with suspicion" said n local ang
Ter, yesterday He has evidently
been deeply wronged All these hooks
must go somewhere, and no one will
ever know how many of the biggest
fish in our lake and local streams
are wearing them as ornaments.
Something must be allowed for the
small boy who gets the fish hook in
his foot and other parts of his ana
tony" interposed the dealer. 'These
are always cut out and thrown away.
ut is a time honored custom. But the
fishermen who set lines are largely
responsible for the size Of the sales.
They buy hooks by the thousand every
season. Then every year we sell
smaller quantities to enthusiastic fish
ermen who use or lose them and re-
turn at the opening of the season for
new stock. A large number, too,

NOT so BAD.
Willie Schmidt Broke Into No
Ones House.

An investigation of the report that
Willie Schmidt of Princeton St, had
broken into the house of ], p. Miller
on that street Saturday, has revealed
the fact that there was no neces-
sity for officers having been called.
The boy went into the house with a
much older boy, a nephew of Mrs.
Miller who heard the telephone ring
and went to answer it. The doors
were not locked.

They May Have City
Water by Fall.
Sufficient Number of
Patrons Guaranteed.
Citizens Visit the City Com.
missioners.

A delegation Of North Hill citizens
visited the City Commissioners Thurs
day morning to urge that nothing be
left undone TO compel the Water
Works Co. to extend mains to North
Hill this summer.
Attorney n. Chalker, as spokesman
for the party, other members of which
were Messrs. /. S. Myers, Chas. w.
Seiberlng, X. H. Hays, Edward Roger
and DIR. G. 4. Hill reminded the Board
of the promises made that lights and
water would be provided for North
Howard and South Main sts., within
year after annexation had taken
place. Those pledges were given near
ly two years ago. ~
The Board went over the contract
with the Water Works Co and found
that it could be required TO extend
the mains if a sufficient number of
subscribers were secured This Mr..
Chalker stated could be guaranteed.
In order to secure the number some
who do not own houses have agreed
to pay for water and few property
owners have subscribed for two houses,
paying double, as they have but one
house.
A list of these prospective subscrib-
crs will be sent to the company.
When water is furnished for North
Hill 16-inch main will be connected
at Center st. and taken to the North
End before it is tapped. In this way
good pressure can be secured.
How soon will North Hill have
city water?' was asked Of President
McAlillen when the Boards callers
were gone.
II don't know. 1t won't be within
three months" said he.
