LAST CONTRACT
Council Disposes Of Lapore Street and
Asks Treasurer 10 Collect Some
More Taxes Quick.

The common council met Thursday
evening in recess for the special pur
pose of receiving bids for the additional
paving on Laporte street made neces
Sary by the increase in width of the
proposed improvement. But one bic
was presented, that of Hatch & Sons
at the same price as the rest OF the
street, and the contract was awarded
accordingly. The price is s1.40 pei
square yard.
Some discussion was had concerning
the collection of delinquent city taxes
the municipal treasury being now
subject to heavy drafts, and it was
decided to urge upon the custodian OF
the funds the deSirability of gather
ing them in closely and rapidly.
Parties owing the city may expect to
be dunned.
The question Of drainage in the
vicinity of the new Linkenhelt eleva-
tor evoked, after some consideration,
motion, which was carried, declar-
ing it to be the sense of the council
that the matter should be passed for
the present. 1t seems that the rail-
road company has a ditch of its own
at that point and that certain altera-
lions and Improvements are to be
made i'm the track and the council
feels that at that time more adj
vantageouS permanent settlement can
be had. one that will be satisfactory
to all parties concerned.
The matter of the application of d.
c. Smith for permission to erect hay
scales i'm the street at his store was
again postponed, but it was made very
clear that such permission will not be
granted and Mr.. Smiths scales, must

Harry S. Enyart, who came here as
the representative of and superintend-
ent for w. S. Hatch & Sons, the paw
ing contractors, and watched the
work of excavation on North Michi-
gan street, that has been done by the
city, astonished Street Commissioner
Knoll the other day by demanding to
be put on the city's pay roll. George
refused to do so and so reported to
the council. Upon inquiry it could
not be learned that Mr. Enyart had
any employment or authority what
ever from any person claiming power
to bind the city and the street COM
missioner was accordingly sustained.
The city clerk filed a report con-
tanning list of property liable to city
taxation that has been placed on the
county duplicate by the auditor upon
the county assessors certificate. The
omitted property thus supplied
amounts to S152, $50. 90, with six polls,
and the tax to be paid thereon will, if
all collected, add 81, 275.00 to the city
funds

INDIANA nARBOR PROGRESSING
Teamsters Strike for So Per Day..
Many Laborers Employed.

The Indiana HarbOr managers are
busy at work erecting buildings and
selling lots. Three hundred men are
working every day. There are labor
ers, carpenters and brick masons at
work on the large mill building.
The three-story building presents a
very nice appearance. The roof and
last story are shingled with green
shingles and the rest of the building
painted white.
The brick office building for the
steel plant is rooted and will soon be
completed. 1t will be the most artis-
tic Office building in the Calumet re-

Many Indiana papers have recently
published an article asserting that by
the adoption of new series of text
books for the public schools the peo-
pie will be subjected to great expense,
but the report is misleading and
largely untrue. Some alterations
have been made in the grammars and
spelling books, but there will be nc
compulsion in buying them until
those in use are worn ont. Books in
good condition will not be discarded
and thrown away, but where new
books are to be purchased the later
edition will be brought.

INTERu2BAN LINE
Plymouth and Marshall County In
Guided in Electric Railroad Plans
Now Forming.

After much negotiation and numer-
Gus delays the promoters of the cleo
trio traction line between Indianapolis
and Logansport have apparently sue
ceeded in getting the enterprise on
its feet and the prospect for an early
construction of the road seems to be
good. The surveyors are laying out
the route as finally adopted and con-
tracts for building and equipping the
road are being let.
There is a design on foot that will
later on be of great interest to the
people of this county, particularly in
the townships Of Walnut, Center and
North, and more especially in Argos,
Plymouth and Lapaz. The purpose
is to extend the line from Logansport
to South Bend along or close to the
Michigan road, taking in the places
named.
indianapolis is rapidly becoming
the center of a network of such rail-
ways, as Cincinnati, Cleveland and
Detroit are already. The chief center
of activity has been in the gasbelt,
where numerous interurban companies
have been formed, but there is also
quite spirit of development mani
tested north and east of us. Peru's
new line has just been put in opera
ton ard Rochester has within few
days voted a subsidy to another, the
ma orities being very heavy. Another
area of interest lies i'm Lake, Porter
and Laporte counties and the papers
from over there chronicle some new
move in every issue.
The rich territory traversed by the
Michigan road north and south of
Plymouth cannot long remain exempt
from electric lines and connection
between the east and west system on
the north and the Indianapolis SyS-
tenn on the south must eventually be
made along that broad and beautiful
highway, and that right soon. The
state survey of Michigan road has
already been examined by the gentle
men interested and parts of it north
of Logansport have been driven over
for the purpose of deciding as to its
feasibility, the conclusion reached be-
ing favorable. Within few days an
electrical engineer will be inPlymouth
to inspect the probable route through
the city and get an idea of the OBJ
structions to be met i'm crossing the
river and railroad.
Later, but not this year, steps will
be taken to secure the necessary
franchises and right-of-way by the
route that is decided upon as most
practicable. A possibility that has
already been mentioned in this con-
nection is a spur from Argos to Max
inkuckee Lake.
The probability that inside of two
years this city will have cOmmunica-
tion by electric railway with all parts
of Indiana north of the capital is
greater than has been thought to be
true until now and the conSummatiOn
will be highly gratifying.

those who dare to proclaim themselves his friends. 1t has been semi-officially announced that neither Admiral Dew ey nor General Miles will be sent to the coronation of King Edward, all though it was understood before MT McKinleys death that these two off cers, commanding respectively the navy and the army, would represent them there, and that their attitude on the Schley case is the reason they are to be deprived of this honor. And that isn't all. It is stated by those in the confidence of the administration that in order to make it all the more humiliating to Admiral Dewey and General Miles, the men chosen to rep resent the army and navy at the cor onation will be Adjutant- General Cor bin, who has been bitter enemy of General Miles for years, and Rear-Ad- miral Crowninshield, who is and has been for years the leader of the clique that has worked in every conceivable way to undermine the reputation of Schley. MT Roosevelt may not know that these things are adding daily to the chances for the election of demo- cratic president. but the working lead CTS of his party are not so ignorant.

SATURDAY. DECEMBER 2s. 1901,


The news from Cuba, says one writer. is by no means reassuring, and 1t is feared in some quarters that when the elections come off the Cubans may demonstrate that they are not yet pre- pared for self-government. Fidel c. Pierra is in Washington and is still making an earnest effort to get the secretary of war to postpone the cleo tion. It seems that there are three parties in the field, the union democrat- ic, the national and the independent republican. Where they have acquired them is not known, but all three par ties seem to be familiar with all the electioneering tricks of ward boss, and they have very little compunction about putting them into practice. It is feared that they may forget that they are a free and independent people and that, as they have no sovereign to keep them straight, they must control themselves. It is said that there is danger of bloodshed before the cleo tions are over.

MYSTERY OF BREAD MAKING.

'1 always use distilled yeast. have tried compressed yeast, and have always made my own yeast, but have always had the best results from distillers' yeast. I use it immedi- ately. I may keep it over night, but seldom longer than that. l set q sponge in the morning as soon as 1 get up. I don't like to set bread at night. There is no telling what may happen to it when you are asleep. The life may get chilled out of it. or it may get too warm and then sour, so that it is best to start the job when you can watch it. 1 set q sponge at 6 o'clock in the morning, and at 10 it. is out If the oven. Here are my measurements for a baking I do twice week They give me about three pounds of bread. one large loaf or two small ones use one cents worth of yeast,a little more than a quarter of a cup. For wetting 1 sometimes use half milk and half water, or all milk, generally the milk from which I have skinned the cream for breakfast. If 1 happen to be out of milk 1 use water, and the bread is almost as good. For a cents worth of yeast I use one and one-half cups of Wetting. a level teaspoonful of lard. half teaspoonful of salt, a pinch of soda and one teaspoonful of sugar. 1 don't scald the milk: simply have the wetting lulSewarm. To this add the yeast then flour to make q thick batter. I set in warm place and generally in forty minutes it is light enough to make into dough. turn it out on the bread board and knead it till it is as smooth as satin One of the secrets of good bread is to knead in the least four possible. Some women go on adding all the flour they can possibly work into dough, then they wonder why their loaves are tough and dry. After I have added all the milk that seems necessary I use no more. except pinch here and there where the dough sticks to the board When it is smooth and elastic I return it to the bread pan and let it rise The second time I put it on the board I give it the slightest kneading possi- bic. simply enough to break every air bubble An air bubble means hole, and bread with a texture like coarse sponge is very poor eating. I put my loaves in the pan and watch them. My rule is to let them rise to double their size and l put enough dough in pan to have loaf that will round slightly over the top of the pan. When they rise higher than that they cut into slices that are not slightly I don't consider a baking finished when the loaves are in the oven.
 T plan to stay pretty near the stove during baking time. 1 turn ev- cry loaf after it has been in the oven five minutes. If one neglects this the result is q loaf bumped high on one side and low on the other. It may be good bread but it is not slightly. I bake with a wood fire, which is hot ter than coal, and generally thirty min- ntes after set the loaves in the oven Housekeeping.

 Roosevelt's b1unders in the Schley case are likely to cost his party dearly, and they are blunders which might easily have been avoided by him, and would certainly have been avoided by the late MT Mckinley. His activity against Sch1ey is all entirely uncalled for. and he will doubtless live long enough to deeply regret it. He could have tacitly approved the unjust report of the majority of the court of inquiry without coming out openly against Schley, as he has done, and allowing the fact to become known that his off cial displeasure would be visited upon any official who dared to express their honest sentiments on the case. as Ad- miral Dewey did. He might have ig- nored the remarks of General Miles. indorsing what Dewey said, instead of making enemies of the thousands of friends and admirers of General Miles by ordering Secretary Root to publicly censure the commander of the army, as though he was some young and fool ish officer. But he has chosen to ally himself with the clique which has bounded Schley for years, and haying the authority he seems anxious to out do them all in humiIiating Schley and

Banker Henry Clews in his weekly letter says that this is the closing week of most remarkable year. He says it closes with the most satisfac- tory reasons for congratulation, the United States having had more than it's share of success. The next ques- ton is, What of the coming year? Time can only tell. There are evi- dences that we are near the top. Val ues are generally the highest of the decade; the upward movement is much less general than year ago and re- sessions are more frequent. If 1 was asked what would be the most desira- ble course of affairs I should say, after the dividend investment buying has exhausted it's force, which is usually incident to the list of January period, a moderate but general decline in val ues, such as would not disturb confi- dence, but would stimulate fresh buy ing and invite new enterprise. Such q reaction would be most conducive to continued prosperity. A very consid- erable decline in merchandise prices could be endured without in any de gree lessening production, which is now in constant danger of being in creased to excess owing to abnormal profits. A quiet and gradual return to more normal conditions will be well comed by all who desire business to continue upon a sound basis"

In view of the news of threatened hostiIities between Chile and the Ar genuine Republic, a Washington cor respondent asked a gentleman in the state department Tuesday to give a brief sketch of the trouble between the two countries. "It is an affair of long standing he said. EsThe trou- ble is all caused by a dispute over q boundary line and in that respect it is very similar to our own differences with Great Britain over the Alaskan boundary. The trouble started away back in 1913. The descriptions of boundaries in the old treaties, etc, were evidently prepared without cor rect typographical knowledge of the country. Frequently watersheds were described as the boundary between tho two countries when the highest peaks of the mountains were meant. It is a long story, but, as matter of fact, that is the whole trouble. The whole matter was referred to English arbi- trators some time ago. but they have failed to report. Once General Osborn, United States minister at Buenos Ayres, interfered and prevented hos tilities- Argentina seems to be nearer the right of the dispute, but Chile needs the territory. What the outcome of the present friction will be it is hard to say, but it is to be hoped that Great Britain will be called in as an arbitrator, as has been rumored.
