about half mile east Of the Holland Set
tlement, graeed with the aromatic name
Of Roseland, and between the rail
road and Lake Calumet. The advantages
Of the situation are commanding. On the
one side is water transportation by Lake
Calumet, through which all eight-foot chan
mel is to be dredsed to connect with canal
to the Calumet River, already authorized by
q vote Of the Trustees Of Hyde Park. On the
other the works will have direct track con-
nection with the Illinois Central, the Alchi-
gan Central, and the Belt Railroad, and SO
With the whole railroad system that
CENTRES AT CHICAGO.
The ground is high and well drained, and
suited in every respect to the requirements
Of the works and the popul alton Of thousands
that will hive around them.
The tract On which the Pullman and the
Allen works will be erected comprises about
$50 acres, lying between One Hundred and
Third street on the north, and One Hundred
and Eleventh street on the south, and reach
ing from the railroad to Lake Calumet. Here
buildings will be put up, as shown by the
map in the next columns, on which the
pullman Company will spend
ABOUT 81, 900,
and the Allen Company about $500 600. The
latter will use 1,500, 900 Of bricks, and the
Pullman 5000, 600, and 100000 feet Of lunl-
ber. The car-works will, when i'll full opera
ton, as they will be III about six
months, employ 1000 men, and the car
wheel works about 100. These simple
facts are enough to account for the excite
ment that has been created among real
estate men by the rumors that have got
aioat concerning the new enterprise. Specu-
1ation has run wild in acres
FOR MILES AROUND KESsTSGroN.
Land mile away has been sold at an ad-
vance Of $50 per cent. Probably the specu-
lators have overdone it. They always do.
Land in the vicinity Of the Rock Island car
shops is cheaper to-day than it was before
the shops were finished.
The contracts have all been let for the
Allen Paper Car-Wheel Works, the Pullman
works will be built by the Palace-Car Com
pany ITSELF and its plans are all ready.
Everything has been settled down TO the place
| to be occupied by every piece Of machinery.
Great attention has been given by Mr. George
| N, Pullman, President. to whom the concep-
ton Of tie enterprise is due, and by Alr. 4. u.

Dauy, under whose personal supervision the

mon in such establishments Of stringing. out

The ideas embodied in the arrangement

ARE PULLMAN IDEAS.
The architectural designs and the con-
