Ten years ago the ground whare the
magnificent hotel property Of the Indi-
ana Mineral Springs Company y loeat-
ted 1t Indiana Mineral Springs. In
diana was wholly unimproved and al
most 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
rouldings have been made more at
tractive and the hotel is . model Of
comfort and elegance.
Fer the greater accommodation Of
gussts 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-
lions that will cause an outlay Of over
$4,000. The improvements will consist
Of new bath house and an addition
to the hotel. The addition will be two
stories In height and will occupy .
ground ace s0x160 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
drst floor dining hall. a music room,
q billiard hall, physicians ofnces 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 deliberately decorated
and the floors will be laid in white
tile. In both cooling rooms will be
built large ornamental firs places
which will be used Tor heating pur-
poses In addition to the regular steam
heating. The work will be entirely
eemDlsted in 80 days.
The Improvement and the entire ar
rangsnents OF the hotel and grounds
are made, keeping In view the artistic
effect Of the whole. and when the in
pfovements arranged for are complet-
"a the hotel and surroundings will be
much more attractive than before.
Major Kramer states that . still fur
tier addition to the hotsl II contem-
plated. and that plans are now being
prepared for aa additional structure
to contain $50 rooms for guests.

FISHING FOR TUNA
pAsr,nE ON THE PACIFIC COAST


In order to hear really big fish stories
one should visit Avalon. the pictur-
ssQue summer resort on Catalina il
land, OF the southern coast Of Califor-
mia. The excltements Of life here are
divided between playing golf and
catching tunn.
II 10 dimcult to tell which 10 the more
laborious occupation. The golf links
are said to be the best and therefore
the most difficult, and the tuna II hard
to catch. 1t is very gamey, deep-wa-
ter Ash which attains great size, and to
catch one is great honor, usually well
earned. They are good to eat, and en-
thusiastic fishermen enjoy catching
them, but the chief incentive lies in
the fact that a tuna caught in accord
ance with the rules Is the only creden-
tails that admit a 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
has taken the largest one. The club
winds up the season with a big ban
Quet and has n great jubilation over
the seasons sport.
The largest tuna ever caugh- weighed
200 pounds, and the smallest weighed
forty pounds.
The usual method employed Is to en-
ploy two men with a launch and a
ski1. After the fish has been hooked
the fisherman jumps Into the skin with
an oarsman whose business 1t is to fol-
low the fish In his mad PUSHES In or
der to prevent the breaking Of the line,
which is not of large size. The task
of firing out such big fish is a 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 a mountain trout can
perhaps imagine the amount Of endur-
ance and pluck needed by the fisher
man who hooks tuna. OF course a
big fish often gets away after being
played for several hours. Tie 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 n pound, or 5000. 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 dsh
stories, and there are Others"

Of Van Buren,. Ind, have been fulfilled
TO remarkable degree so far. In

In . war with all the leading nations

when this war ended there would be

destruction shall befall the nations. All
