Schmidt, industrial commissioner of the Wabash, and Chief Engineer Zimmerman were in town this week looking after the belt line to be constructed by the Wabash to connect with the Monon belt. The survey was completed Thursday and the line will start from the Standard Oil tanks. Work will begin at once and in a short time the Wabash will be hauling its own cars to the factories in the Commercial club addition. The Monon hasbeen collecting from the Wabash a tollof 83 for every car delivered them over the belt and the bill amounts to a considerable sum every month.The industrial commission is a new department recently opened by the Wabash. Its purpose is to promote industrial enterprises in all towns along the line, and wherever the company owns land, and the opportunity presents itself, it will open factories. The company owns a good tract here on the old spoke factory site and it is hoped some industry will spring up there.A CONTEST IMMINENTma Been, who died about twelve years ago, and to this union were bora two sons, Turpie mid Fred.
