It would take more space than can be given to enumerate all of the hundreds of industries which find a home in Ft. Wayne. The 1910 census returned no less than 230 different manufacturing establishments of all kinds, the largest number being devoted to tobacco. The other industries represented were as follows: Bread and hakery products, carriages and wagons, confectionery, flour-mill and grist-mill products, foundries and machine shops, leather goods, lumber and timber products, marble and stone work, patent medicines and druggists' preparations, printing and publishing and a total of eighty-niue unclassified industries. The unrivalled loca- tiou of Ft. Wayne has brought it to the front as a manufacturing center and the future will undoubtedly show a still greater development of its industries.
The importance of the county seat as a manufacturing center has tended to discourage the growth of other urhan centers in the county. The other towns and villages in the county are Arcola, Huntertown, Adams, Maples, Monroeville, Edger- tou, Chamberlain, Aboite, Sheldon, Hoagland, New Haven, Woodhurn, Dawkins, aud a few others not located on a railroad or interurban line.

JASPER COUNTY.
Jasper county, named in honor of Sergeant Jasper of Revolutionary War fame, was organized February 17, 1838, with its first county seat at Parish Grove, thirty miles south of the present seat of justice, and five miles southwest of Fowler, the county seat of Beuton county. The land area of the county is 359,680 acres, and a large part of it was originally very swampy. hut scientific draining lias reclaimed most of the land and converted it into one of the best farming dis- tricts of the state. The assessed valuation in 1914 was $12.906,916. The county has five banks. There are 100 schools, 130 teachers and 3,396 pupils. The population in 1860 was only 4,291, but by 1900 this had increased to 14,292. The following decade showed a decrease of more than 1,000, the 1910 census returning a population of only 13,0-14.
Rensselaer, the present county seat. was chosen as the seat of justice in 1839. It is on the C., I. & L. railroad, forty-five miles northwest of Logansport. It has three hanks, two newspapers, three school buildings, five churches and a number of small industries. It is the seat of St. Joseph's College, a Catholic institution of learning, which enrolls several hundred students annually.
Remington, a town of about 1,000, is in the southern part of the county on the P., C., C. & St. L. railroad, twelve miles south of the county seat. It has one hank,a weekly newspaper, five churches, a good public school building and is a thriving trading center.
Wheatfield is the only other incorporated town in the county. It is located at the junction of the C., I. & S. aud C. & E. I. railroads ahout twenty-five miles north of Rensselaer. It supports a bank and weekly newspaper.
Other towns and villages in the county include Tefft, McCoysburg, Pleasant Ridge, Collegeville, Lewiston, Gifford, Asphaltum, Stoutsburg, Kersey, Fair Oaks, Virgil, Zadoc, Parr, Demotte and Surrey.

NEWTON COUNTY.
Newton county, named in honor of Sir Isaac Newton, was the last county in the state to be organized. It was created by the Legislature in 1839, but its popu- lation was so sparse that the succeeding Legislature consolidated it with Jasper, no county organization having been perfected. The county commissioners of Jasper county formally set it off as a separate county by an order dated December 9, 1859, with its first county seat at Kent. The county lies in the Kankakee region and originally nearly all of the county was too swampy to permit of agriculture, Very little of its 259,200 acres being suitable for farming .. However, 'scientific drainage has reclaimed a large.part of the county and at the present time it con- tains as good farming land as may be found in the state. The county has 69 schools, 95 teachers and 2,619 pupils. There are eight banks. The assessed valu- . ation of the county in 1914 was $13,818,440. In 1860 the county only had a pop- ulation of 2,360, but its growth has been steady and in 1910 it returned a popu- Iation of 10,504.
Newton county has had several bitter county-seat fights, the towns of Moroc- co. Brook and Beaver City having made strenuous efforts at different times to secure the coveted honor. However, it has remained at Kent, later called Kent- land, where it was first established in 1859 upon the organization of the county. Kentland is in, the southwestern corner of the county, at the junction of the C., I. & S. and P., C., C. & St. L. railroads. It has two banks, two newspapers and four churches.
The other incorporated towns in the county are Goodland. Morocco, Brook and Mt. Ayr. Brook and Goodland are about the size of the county seat and are flourishing towns in the midst of rich agricultural districts. Brook is famous as the home of George Ade, one of the country's greatest humorists.
The unincorporated villages of the county include Thayer, Roselawn, Lake Village, Percy Junction, Foresman, Pembroke and Ade.

BENTON COUNTY.
Bentou county was organized January 4, 1840, and named in honor of Thomas H. Benton, United States senator from Missouri. The county has a land area of 261,120 acres, and practically all of the land in the county is available for cultivation. The county is largely prairie and as excellent farming land as may be found in the state. It is iuteresting to note that Yale University once owned a large tract of land in this county, its title being the result of a bequest of Henry W. Ellsworth, a graduate of Yale, and one of the largest land owners in the county. The taxable property in 1914 was $20,768,200. The county has 76 schools, 131 teachers and 2,508 pupils. There are 11 bauks in the county. The population in 1910 was 12,688, its population in 1860 being 2,809, only two other counties in the state having a less population in 1860-Newton and Starke.
The first county seat was at Oxford and it remained there until 1874, when, after a bitter fight, it was removed to Fowler, its present location. Fowler had a population of 1,491 in 1910. It is situated on the C., I., St. L. & C. railroad, about ninety miles northwest of Indianapolis. The town supports two banks, two news- papers, and five churches. There are no large manufacturing industries, but the town is an importaut shipping point for live stock, grain and garden produce. The L. E. & W. and the C. & E. I. railroads also traverse the county, but neither passes through the county seat.
Other towns of the county in addition to the county seat are Oxford, Wadena, Talbot, Boswell, Earl Park, Raub, Templeton, Swanington, Chase, Atkinson, Lochiel and Duunington.
