PORTLAND, THE COUNTY SEAT OF JAY COUNTY, INDIANA,
Is half way between Fort Wayne and Richmond, and 118 miles from Cincinnati by rail, or about 00 miles in a direct line. It Is In
the very heart of the largest continuous district of natural gas-bearing land in the world : a district which has' been developed and
tested by hundreds of gas wells, demonstrating beyond all doubt that the gas supply Is Inexhaustible, and its quality for fuel and
illumination unsurpassed.
Largs Manufacturing Establishments have been Locating in this Gas Field
At the rate of one per week from the date of its certain development.
The Grand Kapids & Indiana Railroad, and the Lake Erie & Western Railroad give Portland a north and south and east and
west outlet The country Is one of the richest agricultural and stock-raising counties in the State.
PORTLAND, WITH ABOUT 5,000 POPULATION,
Has fine Tubllc Schools, a Normal College, seven Churches, two Banks, two Fine Hotels, besides lesser one, an Opera House, and
does a large Wholesale and Retail Manufacturing Business. The gas wells now In use have an output of over 3,000,000 cubic feet
dally, and this supply may be increased ad infinitum.
The Evans addition adjoins the north line of Portland, and lies directly on the principal street of the town. Gas wells are
within one hundred feet, and lay at the southeast and southwest coiners of this addition. The citr offers free gas to all manufac
tories, and an effort is being made to have the city supply same free to families. This will Insure Free Light and Free Fuel to all.

WAsnwoTox, March 24. Clans Spreckels,
the California sugar refiner, appeared yes
terday before the House Committee on
Manufacturers investigating the sugar
trust. He made a statement as to bis con
nection with sugar production and refining
giving statistics uf the Hawaiian, Sand
wich Islands, Philippine Islands, and Cen
tral American production of raw sugars.
He testified that when he bought Sandwich
Islands sugar he took the entire crop, at a
price equivalent to the New York price for
Cuban sugars, less half a cent per pound
for difference in freight. The sugar busi
ness on the Pacific Coast was in the hands
of two firms his own and the American
Refinery, who were competitors in business.
With reference to the New York sugar
trust, he knew absolutely nothing, except

Mr. Spreckles said that in California
forty-two tons an acre of beets were raised.
The average in all states would be about
twenty tons an acre. The beets were worth
in the market four dollars a ton, which
would make the product worth eighty dol
lars an acre. The pulp of beets after the
sugar qualities are extracted, is worth two
thirds its original price for stock feeding
purposes. A protective tariff or a bounty
is absolutely necessary to the life of the
beet sugar industry in the United States,
and without one or theother the beet sugar
industry would perish. Oermany, he said,
gives a sugar bounty for the product ex
ported. In Hawaii four tons of sugar per
acre is raised. In Louisiana one and one

Weekly Report.
Nxw York, March 21. R. G. Dun fc Co.'s
weekly review of trade will say: After the
"blizzard" a temporary increase of busi
ness, at least, was necessary to make up for
lost time and to meet delayed orders. The
increased activity from tliis caue has ex
tended through the past week. It is not
yet clear weathtr a definite improvement
in general trade has not come with it. In
the speculative market there has, certainly,
been more activity, though generally at tfie
expense of value. Stocks, breadstuff?,
provisions. cotton, sugar, and oil
are all a little lower, but with larger trans
actions. Stocks have declined about 50c
per share, wheat is lc and oats l)4c lower,
lard and cotton Jc lower, sugar I-lfic and
oil 5c, hile coffee and tin have each gained
He It is felt that the future turns largely
upon the money market, which has been
very easy. Hut the stead v loss of reserves
by the banks, if continued at this season,
may at any time bring a sudden change.
Up to March 1, in spite of sales of stocks on
foreign account, there is evidence that for
eign capital continued to come hither,

ANOTHER OFFICER
Supposed to be Implicated In the Ken.
tnclcy Treasury Defalcation.
Louisville, Ky., March 24. Yesterday
morning the two houses of the Kentucky
Legislature suspended the rulcj and passed
the resolution agreed upon at the lk-tno-cratic
caucus, calling for in immediate and
full investigation of all of the State officers.
At a secret caucus of the Democratic mem
bers of the two houses, a resolution was
adopted directing a committee to call uKn
Governor Buckner and ask of him that ho
stop Auditor Hewitt from taking further
rt in the in estimation of Treasurer
ate's affairs and the status of the State
Treasury. This was done, and the Gover-
nor promised the committee that the Audi
tor should be kept from the Treasurer's
office. At the caucus mentioned, those
who attended made no effort to conceal the
fact that a great deal of feeling had been
aroused against the State Auditor. There
is every indication that trouble is brewing,
but no one ventures to make specific
charges against anyone, except the missing
State Treasurer.
There was no hesitation on the part of
the assembled Legislature in deciding that
Auditor Hewitt's action had impeded the
investigation of Treasurer Tate's accounts.
This was the sense of the meeting and each
movement of the Auditor in the affair was
discussed at length. The expressed opin
ion that the examinatioh of the defaulting
Treasurer's accounts had been purposely
retarded by Auditor Hewitt, was not con
tradicted, and sonic went so far as to im
plicate the Auditor in the defalcation. It
was the almost, unanimous opinion of the
caucus that an investigation will develop
more rottenness than has yet seen the
light.
