fleeced by Boomers.

The story of how hundreds of per-
sons were fleeced by Chicago and
Hammond real estate boomers is told
in the Valparaiso Messenger as follows:
"The delinquent tax list Of Lake
county, that has just been published,
is as large this year as the combined
delinquent lists of any other fifty
counties in the state There are over
20, 600 different towns and city lots
described in it, and they represent 49,
900, 600 of investments that will be
practically turned oyer, in whole or
part, TO any one who will assume the
taxes. These lots were sold sight un-
seen bv Chicago sharpers to people all
over the world. for all the way from
SIS for inside lots to So. 600 for corner
or business block locations. Houses
are on some Of them, and they are the
silent sentries of mirage cities that
never developed. Many of the great
centerS of industry never were to de-
velop except on paper, for The lands
over which the towns were plated
have always been under from six inches
TO three feet Of Kankakee river flow.
The three million or more dollars was
invested as a rule by people of moder-
ate meanS-Several hundred Of them
being teachers and many of them for
eigners-who were financially crippled
for life in some of the most stupen-
dous swindling schemes on record.
'Ten thousand of these delinquent
pieces of property lie in and around
Tolleston, three thousand of them lie
under the sluggish watero of the Kan
kakee: another two thousand are in
and around the collapsed town of Grit

well, some of them lying in additions
to Hammond and several thousand

NO FUNDS FOR PRINTING.
State Biologists Report Will Be Held
Until Next Year.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 49,
The annual report of State Geo
logist Batchley for 1901 has not
been ordered printed by the state
printing board, although the re-
port was submitted for the gov
errors approval over two weeks
ago. 1t develops that the board
will probably not have it printed
this year. According to the
statement made by Auditor Hart
who is a member Of the board,
the reason for refusing to print
the report is that the present ap-
preparation is insufficient and
that it is the policy of the board
to avoid a deficit. Final action
has not been taken on the matter
but it is the plan of the printing
board hereafter to print the re-
port of the state geologist bien-
nially instead OF annually as
heretofore. In this way money
will be saved for the state and
duplication of reports will be
avoided.
