What Has Resulted.
Making q cold -blooded analysis Of
the situation, several persons and at
least members Of one organization
have discerned the truth. Most of the
smoke complained about by smoke
abatement organizations has been
coming from the smokestacks of the
scattered industries along the belt
railroad they have found.
The belt railroad again has been
found in the analysis to be the reason
why the city has no more thorough
fares, and at considerable expense a
thoroughfare plan has been developed
which al present lies in the back
ground because of it's almost prohibi-
tive cost.
And again. the blame for the city's
lopsided development northWard can
be laid at the feet of the belt railroad.
The indianapolis Belt Railroad, with
its trashy residential districts and re-
strictionS to orderly city development
was built 49 years ago. That was
about the time railroads were fixing
their terminals and deciding what
cities We're the best freight and stock
loading centerS. Some seven or eight
railroads had come into Indianapolis
from all directions for the purpose of
going straight through it. Several,
however. had small stock yards.
Early Plans for Road.
Ambitious early residents conceived
the idea of establishing a, union stock
yards southwest OF the city. and in
order TO promote such a convenience
to the railroads and shippers the
thought of a belt railroad was born in
1870 Seven years later, after the days
of a panic had been spent and the
project had been carried on by loan
from the city In order to give resi-
dents employment in difficult times,
the belt railroad was completed. That
was 55 years after the city of Indian
apolis had been planned as the capt.

ST. LOUIS IS RAW FUR MARKET

 The annual North American catch is again beginning to pour into ware houses that stand where Pierre La- clede and his band of followers trad ed beads for deer skins with the h. dians, on Feb. 16, 1764, the day after the city was founded. Today, the fur sales annually involve more than s25,O00,000, with buyers from the leading markets of the world attend ing.

HERMANN SCOUTING FOR MEN TO FILL IMPORTANT POSITIONS
CINCINNATI, Jan. 21. (P)-T h e

CINCINNATI, Jan. 21. R-T h e major league baseball meetings fail- ed to yield the Cincinnati Reds any trades but President August Herr mann has his eye set for material to strengthen four important positions in his team. The Reds are in need of a catcher, shortstop, first base man and left fielder.
 Christensen was obtained from St. Paul in a trade for Neihaus, an out fielder, and a sum of money. A few weeks ago Elmer Smith, utility man, was sold to the Portland club. The only other deal of the early winter was the tentative purchase of Frank Emmert, shortstop of the Seattle team. Emmert was with the Reds a few years ago and a thorough sea- sOning in the minors is said to have convertde him into a high class per- former.
 Plans for Greater Redland Field, proposed to be the largest in the country and have a seating capacity of about 80,000, are awaiting the &C., tion of the Cincinnati park board which controls the desired site. The

Louisiana Purchase papers were sign- d in 1894.
 The first trading was local, in pelts brought in by the native Indians and trappers living in the settlement. There was a gradual widening of the district from which the fur was ob- tained and fur companies were estab- lished from time to time. For long time the furs were used as money and later were taken in trade for household supplies.
 After the passing of the fur con- pany which Laclede himself Organiz- ed, the Missouri Trading Company began operation, in 1794. Next was the Missouri Fur Company, which, it is claimed, kept the British from ob- taining a trade foothold which might have given the entire section into British control. This firm later merg- ed with one established by John Ja- cob Astor.
 Tn the first five years the value of the annual trade volume climbed to $S0,0OO year. The business has ex- banded steadily and now the world S fur prices are established at St. Louis.
 Through the 25 fur houses here all the seal skins for the United States government and for other nations are hadled The catch comes here for dyeig and is later sold at auctions held twice a year.
