An EXTENSIVE ADDITION
Being Made to the Indiana Mineral
Springs (lndlana) Hotel
AT AN OUTLAY OF $4,000.
Growth of Enterprise Representing EH-
pendlture of &2bO.OOO-success-
full Management of
II. l. Kramer

Ten years ago the ground where the
magnificent hotel property OF the Indi-
ana Mineral Springs Company is locat-
ted at Indiana Mineral Springs. In
diana was wholly unimproved and al
most a wilderness. Now, owing to the
discovery of the valuable medicinal
qualities of the springs and the heal
ing virtue of the soil itself. together
with the enterprise of Major H. l..
Kramer, there is located there one OF
the finest sanitariums in the United
States. The natural picturesque sur
roundings have been made more at
tractive and the hotel is a model of
comfort and elegance.
For the greater accommodation OF
guests who come in constantly increas-
ing numbers from every section of the
United States, arrangements have now
been made for the enlargement Of the
hotel buildings. The contract was let
yesterday by Major Kramer for addi-
tions that will cause an outlay of over
$50 900. The improvements will consist
of new bath house and an addition
to the hotel. The addition will be two
ground 81 ace S0xl60 feet. 1t provides
forty additional guest chambers. The
entire addition will be handsomely
and elegantly furnished. The bath
house, when completed will be the
finest in the United States.
Besides the bath house and the
guest chambers there will be on the
first floor dining hall, a music room,
a billiard hall. physicians offices and
barber shop. In connection with the
bath house there will be ladies and
gentlemen's dressing rooms and cool
ing rooms. The dressing and cooling
rooms will be elaborately decorated
and the floors will be laid in white
tile. In both cooling rooms will be
built large ornamental fire places
which will be used Tor heating pur-
poses in addition to the regular steam
heating. The work will be entirely
completed in 80 days.
The Improvement and the entire ar
rangements of the hotel and grounds
are made, keeping In view the artistic
effect Of the whole. and when the i'm
provements arranged for are complet-
ed the hotel and surroundings will be
much more attractive than before.
Major Kramer states that still fur
ther addition to the hotel ia contem-
plated, and that plans are now being
prepared for an additional structure
to contain $50 rooms for guests.
Already quarter of million dol
lars has been expended on the In
diana Mineral Springs enterprise and
under the present management greater
growth and development In the future
is assured.-Attica Daily Ledger.

FISHING FOR TUNA
pAsrlMEoNTHEPAclrlo COAST
An Exclusive Club at Avalon of which
Only Pisoatorial Experts Can Become
Member,

In order to hear really big fish stories
one should visit Avalon, the pictur-
esQue summer resort on Catalina is
land, off the southern coast of Cnlifor-
mia. The eXcitements of life here are
divided between playing golf and
catching tuna.
1t is difficult to tell which is the more
laborious occupation. The golf links
are said to be the best and therefore
the most difficult, and the tuna is hard
to catch. 1t is very gamey, deep-wa-
ter fish which attains great size, and to
catch one is n great honor, usually well
earned. They are good to eat, and ell
thusiastic fishermen enjoy catching
them, but the chief incentive lies in
the fact that n tuna caught in accord
ance with the rules is the only creden-
tials that admit n manor woman-to
coveted membership in the Tuna
Club. The fish must be caught with
the rod and reel after the approved
fashion, and at the end of each season
prize is given to the member who
has taken the largest one. The club
winds up the season with big BAN
quet and has Il great jubilation over
the seasons sport.
The largest tuna ever caught weighed
260 pounds. and the smallest weighed
forty pounds.
The usual method employed is to en-
ploy two men with launch and n
skiff. After the fish has been hooked
the fisherman jumps into the sliff with
an oarsman whose business 1t is to fol
low the fish in his mad rushes in or
der to prevent the breaking of the line,
which is not of large size. The task
of tiring out such II big fish is Il long
one, and the record of the club shows
that 1t has required in one case four
teen hours. A Colorado fisherman
who has played n mountain trout can
perhaps imagine the amount of endur-
nnce and pluck needed by the fisher
man who hooks n tuna. OF course II
big fish often gets away after being
played for several hours. The fact
that the cost of the two men with their
boats is 81 per day is an indication of
the eXpensiveness of this sport.
Wealthy men do not, however, appear
to mind this. One gentleman reported
that his 2OO-pound tuna finally cost
him $40 a pound. or $1,000. 1t took this
gentleman three years to catch his fish
and he came across the United States
each year until he succeeded.
These are some of Aavalon's fish
stories, and "there are Others"
