Our Trade and Our Flag,

According to United States Consul
Wilder of Hongkong our position as
trading people in that port, which is
the great international mart of the far
east Is not very high, considering the
cost of maintaining our flag in that
quarter Of the globe. In the matter of
business concerns the Germans every
where outnumber us two to one. Hong
kong being an English colony, it is
natural that English houses should
have preponderance, but the consul
points out some features of trade there
which tend to show that American
traders are not up to the advantages
existing for them today. And yet there
is continual talk of what must be done
to uphold our commercial enterprise
in the orient.
Consul Wilder says that German ag-
gressiveness in the HOngkong market
IS notable. Germans forestall the
Americans by cutting prices and even
maintain offices in this country to Sc
cure the profit on such goods produced
in America as compete with their own
manufactures. The Japanese too, are
pushing and have already driven the
British out of some lines which they
had monopolized for many decades.
In some cases the American concerns
work in conjunction with English
houses, but the consul remarks that
foreigners will not push American
goods to the exclusion Of others. "Un-
til American goods" he concludes, "are
represented by exclusively American
concerns the United States can be no
considerable factor" in the trade pass
ing through Hongkong.

New .on ~,~ ms meals.

Sir Isaac Newton was so much the
victim of forgetfulness and mental
blindness in ordinary matters that his
friends thought little of it. On visiting
Sir Isaac one morning DR. Stukely, one
of his intimates, was ushered into the
parlor by 4 maid and informed that
her master was engaged upstairs, but
would be down presently.
The guest waited, and time slipped
by, but Newton did not appear The
doctor became restless and was on the
point OF departing. but decided to re-
main. After long stay the maid APP
peared in the parlor with a cooked
fowl, which she placed ON a table in
anticipation of Sir Isaac's appearance
TO eat his midday meal. Stukely grew
more and more hungry. as the smell
from the fowl was highly tempting
Finally. as his friend had not come, he
could Withstand temptation no longer,

1t Was Bid in by Messrs. SIM
on, Wagner and Cook, of
Wabash for $1,000.
PLANT MAY BE CONTINUED.
PLEASED WITH RICHMOND,
BOTH AS A BUSINESS AND RES
iDENCE PLACE.

The machinery and equipment of the
Richmond hat factory was sold this
morning at public sale to Messrs.
Simon, Wagner and Cook, three prom
inent business men of Wabash, Ind.
The purchase price was $4,000. The
plant was sold by VIM. X. Bradbury,
trustee, Who held mortgage made 10
him by the creditors of the concern
1t is highly probable that the bust
ness of the plant Will be continued at
its present location on the south side
of Main street between Ninth and
Tenth streets. If the new owners de-
eide to leave the concern in its pres
ent location they will improve it con-
siderably and more than double the
output of the plant under its former
management. Mr.. Wagner, one of the
purchasers, is a practical halter with
twenty-five years experience while
the men associated with him are ann
ply able TO furnish all the funds
needed to increase the capacity of the
plant and carry on the business.
The new owners are highly pleased
with Richmond botn as a business

have bought as to make it necessary
to have quarters in a building of their
own.
The Wabash men purchased only the
equipment, while the stock, both fin
ished and unfinished and the book ac-
counts remain the property of the
former company. The heaviest stock
holders in the former management
were Frank Kibbey and Jesse Fetch
er. Mr. Kibbey said that the equip
ment sold today for slightly over
1000 he considered to be worth at
least $4,000 The failure of his COM
pany he said had been due primarily
to the lack of funds with which to con-
duct the business. He said that at no
time during his connection with the
concern was there less than double
the orders on the company's books
than could be filled He feels certain
that the new owners will make a
splendid factory out of the defunct
plant.

STREET IMPROVEMENT
RESOLUTION ADOPTED
Board of Works Acts on North
E Street Matter.
MEANS EARLY DECISION.

The board of public works passed a
resolution recommending a brick pave
ment for North Z street from Tenth
to Sixteenth and new sidewalks and
cutters of cement except where the
sidewalks are now paved with star
brick. There has been much COM
plant about the condition of North T.
street. The heavy hauling on that
streets keeps it in a very undesirable
condition. There has been much dis
cussion as to the kind of street needed
and it Is probable that a remonstrance
will be made against the decision of
the board to put in such paving as is
now on Main street The action taken
by the board will bring The matter to a
decision and this is what is desired.

Number of Loaded Cars Into
And Out of the City Has
Been Requested
BY THE STATE COMMISSION
UPON RECEIPT OF THIS INFOR-
NATION DECISION AS TO
FREIGHT INTERCHANGE PROB
ABLY WILL BE MADE.

Secretary Haas of the Commercial
club has prepared and forwarded to all
the known shippers of Richmond a
letter requesting that they give him
the number Of loaded cars coming into
and going out from their concerns in a
year. and the points to which and from
which freight comes. The information
thus secured viii be forwarded to the
state railroad commission and on re-
ceipt of it it is thought the commits
sioners will render their decision in re
gard to the Pennsylvania railroad
protest against the interchange of
freight in Richmond
There is more than one reason for
believing that Richmond will get the
interchange so long needed. The pri-
mary reason for so thinking is the at
titude of the board while here. A long
list of shippers was handed to the COM
mission, whose testimony it was felt
would influence a decision in favor OF
interchange. The board used only a
few names on the list and when asked
If they did not want to continue with
the examination of more shippers.
said that it would be useless as all told
the same story that of wanting bet
ter freight shipping facilities.
1t was noted by those in attendance
at the commissions hearing that many
times the commissioners questioned
the shippers in regard to their use of
Indiana coal and possibility of getting
it under the present conditions. In
many cases the shippers expressed a
desire to use Indiana coal, which is
cheaper than the eastern product. but
said they We're unable to do so on ac-
count of the c.. C. x l.. not connecting
directly with the coal fields of this
state. The desire to develop the Indi-
ana coal lands. it is felt, will go long
ways toward influencing the commits
sion's decision in favor OF the local
shippers.
Supt. Gordon of the Richmond
Street and Interurban company said
today that his company would save
$500 annually if there was an inter
change of freight which would enable
it to get Indiana coal for use at the To-
cal power plant.

when you think of Norway you see
