cess. Without a factory of this kind
In the state it can make a bid for
South Dakota patronage and it will
get it. The state has many portions
yet undeveloped in the farming line,
and the company can step into a
wholly ~unoccupied field that is sus-
oeptible to a high state of develop
ment.
MIR. Johnston seated to the Re-
publican this morning that work was
started on Monday afternoon on
the structures. an engineer having
gone up there to lay out the ground,
and the cement workers will be-
gin their part of the work Thurs
day or Friday. Here is good luck
to LOOMS, and may it thrive to the
full portion of its ambition.

to have the buildings completed

to have the buildings completed
shortly after the first of the year and
to start in the manufacture Of the
farm implements at once. They ex-
pect to employ 200 men right at the
start and this number will be gradu-
ally increased until fully 500 will
be on the payroll.
This has given added impetus to
other matters in LOOMS, and the re-
preventative of the company further
states that a new bank will be erect
ed at once; a dry goods firm from
southeastern Iowa will put in a
$4,000 stock of goods, and there
will be good openings for other re-
tail stores. Business lots that were
cheap a few days ago have more
than quadrupled in value since this
enterprise has been located there
and the representative confidently
believes that the little population of
SO now will reach considerably over
a thousand within three or four
months. He stated that a building
had been leased for a litter carrier
factory, which will employ ten men
to start, and the product of this
factory had already been contracted
for the coming year by a RESPONSE
bic implement company; an exper-
fenced steel tank maker will come
to LOOMS to get a location for a
steel tank and portable grain bin
factory.
The representative of the company
stated that members of his COM
pany in the east had decided to
locate this factory in Wisconsin, but
after viewing the conditionss out
here, which We're shown by Mr..
Johnston, he urged upon them to
establish the factory in South Dakota
and even after agreeing on the state,
the representative was notified to go
either to Chamberlain or Groton,
both of which places we're appli-
cants for the factory. The rep
r%esentative, however, made a deal
with Mr.. Johnston, which appeared
satisfactory to the eastern men and
the factory was located at Loomis.
The men who are behind the en-
terprise are rated high in the COM
mercial world, and with their rep
utation as business-getters it will
have the backing to make it a sue

Other matters were touched upon,
including the location of a brick fac
tory. which the committee had been
instrumental in securing for the city.
MIR. Ness spoke of the needs for
the future in taking care of several
conventions which are to be held
here this winter, to provide funds
for the entertainment of the visitors.
He further impressed the thought
that some advertising matter con-
corning Mitchell was really neces-
sar at this time.
After the talk Of Mr.. Ness was
finished, remarks were called for
and made by II. d Butterfeld, John
Michels, w. E. Turner, who read the
financial report of the committee up
to August 1, w. A. Barber, Lewis
Shuster, w. E. Upton, A. B. Hager.
Robert Burns, S. e. Morris, S. H.
Scallin, VIM. M. Smith, w. T. La
Toilette, Corles Newbury, o. E. Cas-
sem, ]. S. Daniels spoke on a variety
of subjects, all Of which had q bear
ing on Mitchell and the future.
Quite a few of the speakers en-
phasized the need for another rail-
road into Mitchell, and in view of the
fact that since the election there
has been so much published with ref
erence to railroad extensions, the
idea was suggested that Mitchell
should be on the lookout, and take
even the initiative step toward Sc
curing something along this line.
A number of other projects were
talked about informally, and express
sions and ideas were secured as a
basis of action in the future.
The meeting served its purpose
thoroughly in bringing the business
men together, and at another meet
ing it is believed hat the attendance
will be ever greater, when it is
learned that a greater personal i'm
terest is being developed among the
business men and the citizens of the
CITY,.

GINGERED UP MEMBERS
The Business Mems Smoker Resultet
i'll the Gingering Up Of the Com
mercial Club.

Over 100 business men and prop
erty owners of the city responded
to the call of the Commercial Com
mittee to attend a smoker in the
Mitchell Club rooms Tuesday even
ing, and it was a pretty good sight
to the eyes to e so many Of the
residents coming together for the
purpose OF discussing matters OF real
interest to the city's welfare.
The result of the meeting was SO
satisfying and the idea Of getting
together seemed to be such an ex-
cellent thing that a motion prevailed
and was carried unanimously that
these meetings should be held every
three months, at the call of Com
missioner Ness. At these future
meetings the Commercial Committee
will have an opportunity to present
certain matters to the residents and
keep them a little closer informed
as to what the committee is doing.
George A.. Silsby presided at the
meeting, stating briefly the idea of
bringing the citizens together for
an informal discussion of matters
relating to the city's growth and
welfare. He said that while Mitch
ellis growth had not been of the
marvellous character, yet 1t had been
strong and steady, and he believed
that nc city in the state had made
more material progress in the past
six or eight years than had this
city.
Commissioner Ness was called on
by the chairman to make some state
ments with reference to what the
Commercial Committee had accom-
plished, and in a general way Mr..
Ness referred to the splendid in
crease in the terminal facilities of
the Milwaukee road in the way of
the erection of a new freight depot,
and the new passenger station, work
on which has just been commenced.
The correspondence of the commits
sioner with the Milwaukee officials
indicated to what extent the Com
mercial Committees influence had
been used to make these two i'm
portant things a reality. He referred
to the freight rates which had been
obtained, particularly the distribute
ing rate, adding that a Black Hills
rate was much needed by Mitchell,
and that the committee had the mat
ter up before the railroad commits
sion of the state at the present time.

BIG FACTORY FOR LOOMS
Iowa Capitalists Buy Land Adjoin.
ing LOOMS and viii Construct
Large Factory.

A few years ago when George A.
Johnston plated the little town of
Loomis, even miles north of Mitchell
there was little idea that it would be-
come anything of a manufacturing
center but that is what it is de-
stined to be .
Mr.. Johnston Monday completed
the deal for the sale of so acres of
land at $S5 per acre, to a party Of
Iowa capitalists, on which they will
install a large manufacturing plant
for the manufacture of farm imple-
ments. Those who are interested in
the formation Of the company which
is incorporated for 100000, are
associated with the William Gallo
way Co. of Waterloo, Iowa, and par
ticular mention should be made of
William Galloway and w. R. Lytle,
both of whom are interested in the
company at Waterloo, although this
new concern will not be operated in
COuJu1CllOu WIFI Cu0 WdUeIlOO COul-
pany.
In conversation with the promoters
of the company they state that Loom
is was selected as the place for build
ing owing to the fact that it was a
town without any debts to pay and
consequently taxes will be lower;
that it is close to Mitchell which is
regarded as one of the best shipping
points in the state, and that a larger
amount of room could be secured at
LOOMS than here. The company
does not ask for a bonus or assis-
lance of any kind and the entire
stock of the company will be owned
by eastern men.
The backing of the company makes
it an exceptionally strong one and
there does not seem to be any ques-
ton whatever but what the plant
will be carried through. The repre-
sentative of the company informed
The Republican that three buildings
would be erected at once, each COX
100 feet with a space of SO feet be-
tween each structure. 1t is expected

RUBBER DEVELOPMENT AT PUMA, HAWAII
Trees Doing Finely in
That District at the
Present Time.

The attention of the public has
been chiefly directed toward Nahiku,
Maui, as the rubber center of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii, but a district which
bids fair to equal, if not exceed, Ma
hiku in area planted and success in
producing rubber, is the district of
Puma, on the Island of Hawaii.
Trees were planted at different
points in Puma at the same time that
the first trees Were planted in Nahiku,
and show as vigorous growth and as
prolific a production of rubber as they
do in Nahilzu.
A corporation has been formed for
the cultivation and production Of rub
Der in Puma, known as the Pacific De
velopment Company, Limited. It has
leased several thousand acres from the
Bishop Estate, about five miles from
the Hawaiian Mahogany Lumber Conn
pany's mill at Pahoa, and has been
quietly but vigorously prosecuting its
work during the last year and half.
The company is incorporated with
capital of $4,000. Its officers are
E. c. Brown, president; T. L. Valid
ron, vice president, and B. Won Damn,
secretary and treasurer.
The company has cleared the forest
from approximately 200 acres of land
and has planted 36,017 Ceara rubber
trees on 113 acres, and 500 Hevea
rubber trees on II acres, making a
total planted area of 160 acres of rub
Der.
Planting was begun in May, 1907,
and was completed last summer The
initiation of the planting was under
the management of Mr.. Webster Of
Wilson Webster cane loading machine
fame. Mr.. Webster recently resigned,
and Mr.. L. Turner, formerly of L.
Turner & Co. of Hilo, has been ap-
pointed to the management.
The company is also diversifying its
industries by planting eoeoanuts and
pineapples.
1t has already planted out ten acres
of eoeoanuts near the beach, the trees
being planted fifteen feet by thirty
feet apart.
The plans are to plant 100 acres OF
cocoanuts in the near future.
There is every reason to believe that
the cocoanut branch of the company {
business viii be a profitable one, as
cocoanuts grow in Puma more luxu-
riantly than in any other part of the
Territory. There are probably five
times as many cocoanuts growing IN
Puma as are growing in all the rest
of the Territory put together.
The company planted $4,000 pineap
pies this last summer and expects tc
largely increase its plant next year.
The photographs of rubber tree:
printed herewith show the vigorous
character of the growth of rubber
| trees in the district of Puma.
