another is organized it will probably be
by younger men
James NJ. Hansen, president of the
company, was quoted, Tuesday, as say
ing.
We have had in contemplation a
plot at Beaver, but decided, all things
being considered this Butler property
was more suitable. to our purposes.
One hundred acres Of the plot will be
used for the buildings of-the Standard
Steel Car company, the additional 200
are to be held in reserve for allied IN
terests. and for the homes of our en-
ployes. We made the purchase of this
additional ground with the idea that
the erection of our works will enhance
the value of the surrounding property,
and it is our intention TO sell to Our en-
ployes sites on which they can erect
their own homes. We will do every
thing possible to encourage the for
nation Of the building and loan asso-
citation, but will not erect houses on
what is familiarly known as the com
pany-house plan, if it can be avoided.
'The land we have purchased can be
easily re4ched by the Pittsburg, Besse
mer and Lake Erie railroad, the West
Penn branch of the Pennsylvania sys-
TEN. the Buffalo, Rochester and Pitts
burg and the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road. / was on the grounds to-day.
Arrangements have all been made for
sidings. connections, etc. All OF our
orders for machinery have been placed,
and all machines are now under way.
Our buildings have been contracted for
for some time, and the delivery or
material will commence this week, So
that there will be no delay because Of
our change in location.
Special care has been taken in the
designingof our buildings so that 1t
will be possible for us to increase our
capacity without in anyway interfering
with our output Our design permits
this increase to be made proportionate-
ly in all departments. Our buildings
will cover about 80 acres of ground
and we have already booked business
which will require the entire output of
the plant for approximately four
months
"The directors Of the company will
be A. r. Fraser, H. j. Gearhart and
myself. Of Pittsburg; Edwin Hawleg,
president Of the Minneapolis and ST
Louis railway and Of the Illinois Cen
tral railway, who il closely connected
with the Hartman interests OF New
York, and L. G Weir, president Of the
Adams Express company, of New York.

Butler has had some blooms" in
times gone by but all that has ever hap
pened to the town will not compare to
what will happen this summer.
The occasion is or will be the erection
on the West side of the town of tre-
mendous works for the manufacture of
steel cars-the main buildings of which
will cover fifty acres
The negotiations for the land needed
were completed, Tuesday afternoon,
when the company-The Standard Steel
Car Co.-came to the terms of the But
ler 20. Agricultural Assn, and agreed
to pay them $4,000 for their lease (which
run for five years more) on the land in
cluded in the Fair Grounds
The land purchased or optioned is the
entire strip bounded by the Fair
Grounds and Pearce roads from Geo.
Stamm's house south to the creek, the
Pickle factory, and the McElroy farm
below.
The whole of the land optioned by the
Co. aggregates about 300 acres, and the
prices to be paid are said to be about as
follows:
George Stamm, about ten acres, in
cluding his brick house and brick-yard,
ga, 900.
c. Duffy, about so acres at $500 an
acre or $2500O in all
G. Duffy, Butler Savings Bank, Pill
low heirs and Stehle heirs, from to 10
acres each included in the Fair Grounds,
and James Bredin about 90 acres III
same at $400 per acre.
James Bredin for some property be-
low the Fair Grounds, at $500 an acre.
Mr. McElroy's land to the south and
west of Fair Ground at 800 an acre.
Mrs. McShane 5000 an acre for 30
acres.
Pickle Factory 81 acres-option in
cludes price of building.
The entire purchase money to be paid
aggregates about $4,000.
Mr.. Schoen severed his connection
with the great steel car company that
bears his name, and has tremendous
works in Allegheny and McKee's Rocks,
some years ago; and he and Charlie
Schwab, the President of the U. s.
Steel Co. are said to be the main men in
this new enterprise, which surely
means a great boom" for our old town.

fourished for twenty-five years will

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Commissioner OF Pensions, III. Clay
Evans, resigned last Friday, and Presi-
dent Roosevelt is supposed to have re-
quested his resignation.
The correspondence between General
Miles and Secretary Root, and President
Rooseyelt's comm ents thereon about
Miles application to be sent to the Phil
ippines to try peace plan OF his own
was sent To Congress Saturday. While
the tenor Of 1t has been known. the
spirit OF bitterness shown by the Presi-
dent and the Secretary is distinct sur
prise.
The House last week, took Mr.. John
y; Rhea by the slack Of the pantaloons
and caet him out. Odinarily people
look with suspi cion on Congressional
contests, because so few Of them have
any sound basis, but here was case
from Kentucky 10 plain that no other
action than that taken was possible.
Mr. Rhea did not claim that he got ~
many votes az his competitor. He fell
back on the infamous Goebel law, that
allowed the returning board to throw
out votes mt will, which IL did in this
case to the extent OF giving Mr.. Rhea a
certificate OF election that was In its
essence fraud.
BY a vote OF IL to 8 the Ways and
Means committee ON Monday ordered q
favorable report on the bill for 20 per
cent. tariff concession on imports into
the United States from Cuba until De.
cember /, 1903. The measure will be
taken up next Tuesday.
Mr.. Richardson, Of Tennessee, the
Democratic leader. tuned the House up
TO the highest pitch last Thursday by
Offering resolution for the appoint
mcnt OF committee OF seven to inves-
tigate the story that agents Of the Dan.
ish government had corruptly spent
s5Oo, 900 to carry through the sale Of the
Danish islands to the United States.
The resolution was adopted and the
Speaker appointed this committee;
Messrs. Dalzell. Pennsylvania: Hit,
Illinois; Cousins. Iowa; Mccall. Mnssa-
chusetts, Republicans and Richardson,
Tennessee; Dinsmore, Arkansas; Cow
herd, Missouri, Democrats.
Mr.. Richardson's resolution recited
that Walter Christmas, diplomatic
agent Of the Danish government. has
made n secret report TO his government.
alleging that that government had con-
tracted to pay him 10 per cent. or about
$500, 900 OF the money TO be paid by the
United States for the islands the $500. 900
10 bc used In bribing members OF Con-
grees and other citizens Of this country.
The State departments Of both gov
ernmcnts deny the truth Of these state
ments
The mention Of Representative Dai-
zell ms u candidate for Governor was
the subject Of general comment In the
House. Thursday, and he was copgratu-
lated by his friends Of all parties. Mr..
Dalzell still refuses 10 take the matter
seriously, and when asked whether or
not he would accept the Gubernatorial
nomination, replied.
How can n man who In not can
didatc accept or refuse nomination
which has never been rendered him'"

a sprinkler, gun, and horn.
