Had the circumstances been a little different In the old days of the Wabash and Erie canal shin canal be tween Toledo and Chicago via Port Wayne might now be in existence ac cording to Ideas expressed by Mr Christian Tresselt who la now tne oia est living business man In Fort Wayne in point or tne numner oi years mat he has been In business here.

Mr Tresselt states that most of tne bonds of the Wabash and Erie canal were held In Holland and other for eign countries and the bond, holders not receh Ing any dividends on their Investment and knowing nothing of the conditions and the future possibilities of the canal permitted It to wane Into disuse by lack of care and up keep It Is Mr Tresselt a belief that If the canal had been kept up at that time for a few more years a realisation of Its ultimate greater usefulness and profit which would hae come with the growth of the country would have allowed to become undermined and washed down and the bottom to flu up until It was Impassable for oven the lightest canal boats. Mr Tresselt who with bis sons, Oscar Yl Herman and Frederick now own the city mills has been In the milling business In Fort Wayne for considerably more than a half cen tury and for a time in very early da) was captain of a canal boat owned by Hill Orblaon. grain deal ers whose warehouse was at the pres ent location of Bash a feed store He had charge of tbe boat, made all con tracts and managed Its business for that Arm Consequently he is one ot the best Informed men now living concerning the old canal. He takes a great Interest In the present ship canal project and urges that its effect ter would be Immense Christian Tresselt came to Fort Wayne by canal passenger pack tic In a sail boat arriving In New York on the Z3d day of June The day I arrived aald he I nessed the New York funeral of i President Andrew Jackson Deciding to come westward he went from New York to Albany by steam boat and I rail from there to Buffalo The old gentleman smiled at perhai a PILES CURED AT HOME BY NEW ABSORPTION METHOD, If you suffer from bleeding, Itching blind protudinf Piles, send ma your address, ua I will toll yon how to euro yourself at i bona by the now absorption treatment and nil also send soma of this bom treatment tree for trial, with references from your dw locality li requested, immediate i Hot and permanent cur araoxed Send money but tell others of this offer Wme today to Mrs, i Meua lami fiia. dentally 1 was twenty four hours going from Albany to Buffalo Fort Wayne had about sow innaoi tanta when he arrived her and there many Indiana in the surround in country They cafrie to the city with their blue blankets wrapped arounu them to trade aald he They dldn talk much he added thus expressing laconically the proverbial silence ot Poor Lo.

"Th old Fort was still standlnr then and It was very prlml tlve he added reflectively Then with a sudden animation the activity of Mr Treaaelt la wonderful for a man of his age. He said I clerked In Hill Wilsons general store until with thla mill Yea, and I was cap tain of a canal boat the fore part or that same year The old gentleman mind Is ao active that In an instant he had caught the alight omission of the canal boat experience before entering the employ of Hoagland and Williams in lsfil he started a a enerai store in partnership with George Wilson and In 1864 sold out to Wilson, so his first entrance upon business of his own was in tne year Tbe mill seemed to have an attraction for Mr Treaaelt from the beginning for after selling out to Wilson he again clerked for Hoagland and Will lama remaining witn tnera until use. For four years afterward he had an Interest In Blemon Bros, Company's book store. But again perhaps he felt the call of the mill and returned to Hoagland and Williams in 1170 and after clerking for two years bought the one half interest of Mr Williams. And then he had found his fixed place In life.

The firm of Hoagland and Tresselt continued until Mr Hoagland died In 1884 and Mr Tresselt bought the other half Interest from the heirs of his former partner He was the sole proprietor until his sons came Into the business as they grew up to share It with the father The mill was ea tabllshed In 1841 the original firm be lng Hamilton A Williams, ao that the city Mills are now 68 years old Con slderlng the above history It Is hardly necessary to say that the Cltv Mills turns out a Quality of flour that has Ijio superior In the world inc niup inaj iuu aar irewwii, parting to the original subject of die should be owned by the gov eminent It would be a great bene fit to Fort Wayne. during the present year upon the va rlous forms of automatic music while the spread In poj ularlty of the atic lano piaje concrete construction has advanced by such leaps and bounds within the last few years that It Is entitled to be Included within this cat gor The use of concrete In the building of factorlea bridges and dwellings Is responsible for share of the growth which doubled tne con sum tion or cement netweeo 1001 and 103 and again between 1808 and 1905 While th panic of 1807 and coneeuuent dei resslun In the tulldlng trade caused a temporary halt in this rat id advancement tne money value of the product amounts to over 800 000 000 a year and the oxpendl ture re i resented by the building oper atlona in whkh It Is em) loyed Is two or three tin es this sum With the perfect! of the method devised by Kill son fur pouring houses of concrete into molds so that complete structures can be erected In a single I day the growth of this Industry bids fair to be still more rapid Among other more prosaic lines of manufacture which have experienced moat remarkable growtn witnm lal Ice Tbe capital Invested in both these Industries has advanced from a million and a half dollars In 1880 to more than 8118 000 000 at the present time while the annual value of their product has grown In the same period the Infant stage but decade la the production of machlnea for the aerial flight Already several names nave been organised for the building of aeroplanes and dirigible balloons and an aerial transportation recently cnarterea in Massachu promises to begin operations be Boston and New York In 1810 Even In the present undeveloped state ui aermi navigation nunareae or thou sands of dollars have been Invested oy governments and individual exoeri tors lie would be a bold nrouhel who should predict that bv 1818 a quarter of a billion dollars would be devoted every year to the navigation half a dosen Infant Industries lnvolv ing a yoany outlay or 81 000 000 000 upward have arisen practically within the last ten years Is sufficient Indies tlon that the possibilities of progress In manufacture and Industry have by i means neon exnaueiea HAIR REMOVERS ARE DANGEROUS nrt XjadJes should be most psrtleubv chooainc a hair rtmovtr and Uarn what reputable authorities know about It in treating aupernuous nair it is or vital Importance that the agent to be em plovad should be absolutely non poison ous sntisepile and rralcldal, because If It Is not so with frequent use It will produce ocsetna or blood poisoning us Mtracis is (no ui that offers proof that It Don i harm loss oafs El Us UlraLls Is soM hv Wolf 4 Iisssauar and all other good stores or booklet In plain scaled envelope bylXM reels Chsm Co lesk 10 I fuk avenue.
