BIG PLANT ASSURED
Business Men Of Webster City Or
sanizins s2oo,ooo Corporation for the
Manufacture Of Sewer Pipe and
Drain Tile-Will Employ at Least
100 Men.

Special TO Times-Republican.
Webster City, March 3.-Plans set in
motion by the Commercial League are
under way for the construction in Web
ster City, the coming season, OF the
biggest manufacturing plant ever pro-
jected in Webster City. 1t is a two
press sewer pipe and drain tile factory.
II will be capitalized a 100000 and
The plant built in Lawn Hill addition.
The organization Of the company will
be completed as soon as $4,000 of the
capital is subscribed. Half this amount
mas already been taken and none Of
the monied men of the community have
been solicited. 1t is likely tina, $780,
600 work Of stock will be seld in this
immediate vicinity and the balance
elsewhere-a part Of it in the east.
where assurance has already been given
that the stock will be taken.
P W. Hearn, of the Tuscola Supply
&, Construction Company, of this city,
has been largely instrumental in the
formation OF this project. The COM
pany has secured options on a thirty
acre clay tract at Lehigh and the Good
rich thirty -four acre tract in Lawn
Hill, where the plant will be built. Fig
lres show that the clay can be dug at
Lehigh, transported here and unloaded
In the yards for "a cents a ton. The
clay bed at Lehigh will keep the plant
going fifty years. When running at its
ordinary capacity the plant will employ
100 men. The Commercial League APP
pointed a committee to investigate the
plan, look over the clay bed and go
into the project thoroughly. 1t has
their unqualified sanction. There is no
doubt Of its success and within less
than a year Webster City expects to
hp'e in operation one of the largest
sewer pipe and drain tile plants in
Iowa.

the Ballinger case 1T Is a certainty
that the democrats will not lose the
first opportunity to put across a bill
providing a complete conservation
policy in virtual accordance with the
doctrines Of Theodore Roosevelt.
Such program, If carried out with
discretion and good judgment. would
leave the democracy in excellent shape
for the presidential campaign. Ordi-
narily the long session Of congress runs

vention.. much to the embarrassment
of members Of congress, but with this
sort Of an extra session the democrats
would have their record largely made
up before the long session begins, and
journment next spring.
Advantages Pointed Out.
All this democratic advantage from
an extra session has been pointed out
to the president by the elder statesmen
OF the senate and house. And these
venerable political prophets, 1t may be
remarked no longer harp on the like
Hhood of the democrats making suffi-
Gent blunders to queer themselves with
the country. The democrats have done
so well since the November election
that there is fear on the part of the re-
publican reactionaries that they will
continue to remain in the same state of
good health. Meanwhile, the republic
can factionists are so ugly toward each
other that they would be fairly certain
to renwe in the extra session the spec
tacle of Generalization so conspicuous
in the siXty-first congress.
The republicans are urging the presi-
dent to call his extra session for Sep
TENDER. if he must have one. but the
White House gives scant attention to
this. Vote on Canadian reciprocity
and I will not have to call an extra
session at ALL" says the president and
finally they are beginning to realize
that this is his last word.
