Mokoma Wanted for a Not>id
Picnic Ground.
While at Laporte Tuesday, <ien.
Managers. 1). Townsend staled
to the News Item that it was Ids
earnest desire lo make a beautiful
picnic ground at Mokoma and run
frequent excursions to it during the
warm seasons. Properly handled it
could be made to pay handsome re
turns to all concerned. Why it lias
not been done is no fault of the fair
and enterprising management of the
railroad. The Lake property seems
to lie in the hands of men who care
nothing for small returns or any im
provement whatever of the property.
As it appears, the making of Moko
ma lies mostly with the railroad
people anil they are rather averse to
working for peoples' pockets who
hold arbitrary views with a chronic
desire to possess all the proceeds.
There is not likely to be any prac
tical remedy for this state of affairs
which holds back the development
of this beautiful resort until a suitable
valuation is placed upon it by our
tax assessor. The very modest tax
paid on this valuable property by
the wealthy gentlemen who simply
hold it for speculation is an item of
little consequence to them and should
be so adjusted that Laporte could
get back some of her deprived assess
ment valuation.

LA FORTE IS BECOMING A CEN
TER OF INTEREST.
She Now Grasps Her Vast
Opportunity and will Make
Up Her Raw Material.
Development in the new stave
factory to be erected by Trexler &
Terrill will not now be long in get
ting a start at this place. Accord
ing to plans now exacted the pro
posed factory will be in operation by
October next.
On Tuesday, General Manager of
the W. AN. 11. It. It., Mr. Town
send, with his track boss, Kllie
Hubb, and surveyor, \V. ('. Mason,
met on the ground of the proposed
plant, with Mr. Oscar Trezler, of
Allentown, with his superintendent,
Mr. Jas. Monroe, and factory fore
men, (,'lias. Smith and N. S. Millet.
The location of the factory was
staked out, and a siding surveyed
which will be laid by the Railroad
Company, at once, when completed
the machinery and lumber for tin*
factory will begin to arrive on the
grounds. The Horough stone crush
er has been moved to the place and
will be putin operation this week,
crushing stone with which to make
a concrete arched steam pit, SO feet
long and wide enough to allow for
a double track, on which trucks will
pass each holding one half cord of
bolts which are steamed before cut
into staves.
The main building will be about
lUS by 30 feet, with many additional
sheds and outbuildings. A one hun
dred horse power boiler will be in
stalled to generate steam.
The plant when completed will
cost iu the aggregate $16,000, and
the very substantial manner in
which it is constructed, and supplied
with the most improved and modern
machinery, would indicate that it is
no short lived project, but one that
will give paying employment to La
porte for many years.
Messrs. Trexler and Terrill have
leased all the lands of the Union
Tanning Co., in this section of the
eounty and will purchase timber of
smaller individual land owners
wherever it can be procured. The
factory will be stocked with logs
principally in winters. The daily
capacity will be .{(tOUO staves, em
ploying 25 men in the factory. In
the woods upwards of 75 men will
be employed at times. Cement
manufacturers will be the largest cus
tomers for the product of this facto
ry. A large Itoarding house will be
erected near the factory for the ac
commodation of laborers.
The business of this industry will
lie transacted mostly through the
tirms offices at Rickets. Supt. Jas.
Monroe, of near Indianapolis, Ind.
will have complete charge of the
business with headquarters at this
place, however.
Laporte is one of the most favored
spots in the county for the manufac
ture of wooden articles, and the start
has been made which will be the up
building of a prosperous commercial
village. Withing lifteen miles of
her boundary line is two-thirds of the
hardwood timber of the county.
The prevailing elements of its sur
face features are forests and broken
hills. This fact proves that the hard
wood manufactury industry at La
porte has heretofore been passed by,
