The Chamber of commerce of Day- ton has offered this concern five acres of land and $15,000 for build­ ing purposes. With' the gift there arc a number of strings attached, so that the Inducement may not be very tempting to the eastern con- earn. The Dr. stated that Mr. Sprague, the president and.Mr, Hist, the secretary, assured hjm that they would go where they could do the best. The company has an estab­ lished business and employs about lOOpeople. It Isexpected that one or twognore concerns manufactur­ ing Shears will consolidate when the.western location Is found and all manufacture. from one place. Thfe'reason the Philadelphia people give for wanting to leave tha city is that they can manufacture their goods cheaper in the West than In the East. Most all their orders are from the West. ' On motion o f Mr., I ’, p. Hastings, Dr, Stewart was authorised to offer this ' concern a site of five acres. The Board of Trade believed that the people would stand by such an offer. As to giving buildings 50x230 and 50X00 this could not be done ns it would represent a gift of about $2Q,ooo.v Dr. Stewart had ,after ar­ riving home written Mr, Sprague that he believed the people here would give them a site, He also informed them of the condition the Dayton people were making the Waync.-iTlllo; James, Jesse, ana Paul at home; Mrs. Maggie.

The Republicans' in the present legislature assisted by thewet Dem­ ocratic members, both of which' constitutes the strength of the foes of theAntirSalooii League, succeed­ ed in forcing a late adjournment of what was supposed to be a short session. During the organization of the senate, Thorne Baker a Cox man from. Cincinnati’ was chosen as chairman o f the finance committee, which has the distribution of sev­ eral mllllionof dollars.

He also in­ formed us that should the plant lo­ cate here ho will become- a resident of the town.. He seemed to be greatly impressed with our ship­ ping facilities, electric lights, gas and fire protection-something few towns of this size could boast of. Another important matter was taken up by. the members o f the Board of Trade add the constitution go that an annual tee of $1 is nec­ essary to he a member in good standing. Several new members wore taken in that evening. It is necessary that.there be a large membership aBfunds are necessary to promote the interests of the town Since theXenia Paper Mill burned there has been some speculation as to whether this plant would be rebuilt in that place owing to tlm company having to pay large sums each month for city water. A cem- mlf tee consisting of L. (4. Bull and J, W. Pollock was appointed to in­ vestigate. It was also reported That within a few days a representative of a targe canning syntHckie will be here to look for,a location. The company is asking no bonus hut must hate the acerngo for tomatoes.
