there has been crystallizing among

has begun work on the construction
of a fine new office building at the
south end of South Ball street. 1t
is planned to have it completed In
about 60 working days.
The. building will be 80 by "a
feet in dimensions, two stories high

It will be modern in every way, and
will take care of the steadily increas-
ing demands of the company. For

occupying an old house on Michigan

which the company is building to re-
place those of frame construction,
will be 80 feet wide, $50 feet long

WASHINGTON LETTER.
NEW RATES-BETTER SERVICE

Washington, Aug. 24.-(Special
Correspondence). = Congressman
John j. Esch of Wisconsin, chairman
Of the House Interstate Commerce
Committee, is convinced that the new
rates provided by the Interstate Com
merce Commission will bring better
service on the roads and put an end
to uncertainties in transportation.
Mr.. Esch is assured that state railroad
commissions will cooperate with the
law to the extent of authorizing SINH
lar increases of rates within their To-
cal boundaries, so that the return to
the roads will be the same as that in
interstate shipments regulated by the
Federal Commission. The increase of
business made possible by the added
equipment that will be bought with
money received from the new rates
will, in the opinion Of Representative
Esch, bring confidence and prosperity
to every line of industry.

82SsOOO F1ro NJ 0AoliouDAoo A""s'
Fire which broke out in the core room
at the plant of the American Malleables
Co. Wednesday evening did damage
estimated by James 9. Mullaney, man
ager of the plant, to at least $s5,OOO, with
the probability that the loss will be
much greater.
The fire started in the roof of the
core room, frame structure about 80
feet square, In the heart of the big
plant. 1t is believed to have caught
from the baking ovens or from the
smokestack leading therefrom. When
workmen discovered the blaze the en-
tire roof was in flames. The alarm
brought out the two trucks from CEN
trail fire station and one from the West
side, while the company's own fire de-
partment was functioning soon after
the fire started. In all nine streams OF
water were played on the flames.
The company had been planning on
the construction of a new core room,
double the eize Of the one destroyed.
Plans were all drawn and work was to
be started soon. Mr.. Mullaney stated
that temporary structure would be
built around the one burned, to enable
the company to resume operations, and
that work on the new and bigger struc.
ture would be started at once. The loss
Is covered by insurance.

THE PYTHON'S FOLDS.

Japan announces that she has no
intentions of changing her policy in
Korea, and believes that assimilation
will promote the welfare Of the people
of the Hermit Kingdom. But the peo-
pie Of Korea protest monstrously
against being assimilated and what
has the league of nations to say to
that? Meanwhile, as we wait in
breathless expectancy for decree
from the league, Japan goes on ASST
milating, and so forth. Possibly the
league is waiting for the United
States to join, when the task of put
ting stop to the degiutition of Korea
by Japan will be assigned to tina youth
and purse of America.

OWN YOUR OWN HOME.

One of the measures that will re-
ceive the attention of the House when
it reconvenes in December is the bill,
already passed by the Senate, "to in
crease, without expenditure of Feder-
al funds, the opportunities of the peo-
pie to acquire rural homes, and for
other purposes. The bill authorizes
the Reclamation Service to investi-
gate the feasibility of developing pri-
vate lands in any State by reclama-
ton, for the purpose of subdividing
them into farms. The cost in each
case is to be paid by the owner, as
well as the cost of development if the
project meets with the approval of
the Reclamation Service officials.
The intent of the measure is to place
at the disposal of large land owners
the expert advice and experience of
men who have spent years in the
work of land reclamation. The bill
has received already the enthusiastic
support of leading Republicans of the
House, and it's prompt passage is con-
fidently expected.
