DEGENERATE ASSAULTS.

Mrs. C. F. Rhody reported that
while she was near the distillery
carrying dinner to her husband, a
man between % and 80 years of age,
stopped her and asked il she knew
where a man, who's address he SEEM
ed to have in a book, was living. He
showed the woman what she thought
was the address, but they proved to
be obscene pictures. The woman
made an effort to leave the man
when he caught her by the arm and
tried to seduce her. She managed
to struggle from his grasp and es-
capped. The police have a good de-
scription of the fellow and are now
on the lookout for him.

It is fortunate for the cities of
East Chicago and Indiana Harbor
that the East Chicago company with
unlimited financial backing and head
ed by broad, practical men of af-
fairs, who are enthusiastic in the
work they are doing, selected the site
of those cities as the scene of their
activities.
1t is hard to realize how stipend
GUS and far-reaching in their effect
on the future are the projects which
are now being carried out in these
two cities but the enumeration of a
few CT them will give something of
an idea of the great future there is
for the Calumet region.
The Inland Steel company has pur-
chased what IS known as the lake
front property, which faces the har-
Dor at the entrance to the canal, for
s275,O00 and a further consideration
that there shall be erected at once a
blast furnace to cost not less than
$750000.

Enormous Realty Sales.

The conditions in the two cities
which are under the benificent infu-
ence of the East Chicago company
is best evidenced by the fact that in
the past ninety days the sales of real
estate by this company have reached
the sum of 100000 or an average of
over $1,000 a day. This is not in
cluding the sales of smaller dealers.
Advertising is being done for bids
on street improvements that will in
volve approximately 100000 and
the property owners are a unit in de-
manding that the improvements he
made. The recent trouble with the
councilmen from East Chicago has
apparently been smoothed over, but
those who have the interests of the
city at heart will not be baked in
their efforts to improve the city If
they have to take drastic measures
with the peanut politicians who are
causing the trouble. The people OF
East Chicago are determined to have
a representative and clean city gov
ernment

Prejudice VIII Disappear.

Mr.. John B. Mailing in an inter-
view with Lake County Times rep
resentative said:
Where can you find a city of $780,
600 inhabitants in this country where
the limits of its territory do not en-
compass as great an amount Of terri
tory as is included in the square
formed by the west limits of Ham
mond. the south limits Of Hammond
and East Chicago, the east limits OF
East Chicago and Indiana Harbor
and the lake shore.
Whiting. Indiana Harbor, Ham
mond and East Chicago are the cor
ner stones of what is destined to be
one great city. The petty prejud-
ices which developed in the early pio-
neer days will be drowned out by
the unpreiudiced thousands who will
pour into these four cities until they
become one great municipality"

$1,000 Per Acre.

A fact not generally known is
that the land bordering on the west
side Of this canal for one mile south
of the lake shore is now owned by II.
c. Frick of Pittsburg Mr. Friek is
at the present time sharing the ex-
pense of digging the canal and has
also paid the East Chicago company
$2S,O00 in cash for the riparian
rights west of his holdings. A mat
ter of interest is the fact that for this
sum he received only four acres of
land, narrow strip along the lake
and paid for it at the rate of $1,000
per acre, probably the record price
for acreage in this part of the state.

lty may be easily imagined.

entered into a cntract that is legal
and fully binding with the East Chi
cago company whereby there must
be put in and completed by the first
of September, 1907, bascule bridges
across the canal for each of these
lines
The East Chicago company has al
ready paid on account of these
bridges more than $125.O0O and en-
gfneers are now at work drafting
plans for these bridges and making

STILL LOOKING FOR BUGGY.

Fay Lammering of Hegewisch was
in Hammond last night in search of
his run-about which he lost a week
ago last Sunday. While driving
through the alley between Ogden
and Condit streets on that date, his
horse became frightened and ran in
to a guy wire on a telephone pole,
smashing the buggy and tearing the
harness. Lammering was forced to
leave the buggy there and when he
returned for it in the morning, it
had disappeared. He failed to find
the buggy last night.

OLD FERRIS WHEEL
IS AGAIN MOVED
Famous Relic of Worlds
Fair Bought by East
Chicago Foundry.
MANY EAGER FOR SOUVENIRS
Relic Seekers After Bits of Iron from
Most Popular Haunt On Old
Midway Plaisance.

The Davidson Foundry company
of East Chicago has bought the iron
of the famous Ferris wheel and is
recasting it at present 1t causes
pain in the mind of every engineer
to know that the iron of the grand
structure will be turned into sewer
pipes by the Davidson Foundry COM
pany, and the process is going on
this very minute.
Some time ago the news went
broadcast over the country that the
foundatin OF the Ferris wheel had
been purposely dynamited at ST.
Louis and that the Chicago House
Wrecking company had undertaken
the work of razing the masterpiece
of Engineer Ferris to the ground.
Nothing was said at the time that it
would make its last appearance in
Lake county. Hundreds of souvenirs
were taken by people of St. Louis
at the time it was wrecked, and since
it has become known that the David
son Foundry company at East Chi
cago, had the scrap iron, their
grounds have been entered by the
ever-present souvenir hunter.
Every piece of iron is marked
Worlds fair, Chicago, 1898" and
the hunter counts his piece of junk
all the more valuable when is the
iron is inscribed in that manner. AL
though the Ferris wheel had been
moved a number Of times during it's
existence, it was nevertheless in a
good condition when it was torn
down. But the charm of the freak
had worn away. 1t was no longer
patronized enough to support it.
During the Chicago worlds fair it
was a world wonder Anybody who
went to the fair Without having been
in the big wheel, was not considered
as having seen the worlds fair. At
ter the fair it was moved to the
Ferris Wheel park on North Clark
street and remained there until 1908
when it was taken to St. Louis where
it proved to be a second class at
traction
During its entire existence it has
always been free from accidents.
Now and then a person would be
taken i'll on it, although this was not
caused by the wheel itself. The rise
is in the air was SO gradual as to
+ be almost impereeptible. Even at
I the highest point one would not real
i ize that one was in a huge wheel
/ The Montgomery Ward tower in Chi
Il cago offers the same sensation as did
the immense structure. 1t was the
sight of the big wheel that made
! the attraction.
During the Chicago fair couple
were married in one of the little
coaches while it stopped at the high
/ est point
The original cost of the wheel
was about S50o.ooO. The Davidson

ILLEGAL PRACTICE DISCUSSED.

Tie Lake County Medical society
met yesterday afternoon in the pub
lie library building. The assembly
wasprincipally composed of Ham,
mond doctors. A discussion of iIleg-
al practice was before the members
of the society. 1t seems that the doc
tors of this city have discovered this
kind of practice in Hammond and
consequently the state officials have
been notified.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1906-08-03

and each railroad within the terri
tory have petitioned the board of
trustees to be allowed to become a
part of our city. Although we are
already the largest corporate body in
Lake county, when they came and
asked and finally insisted that they
be allowed to annex to US, the board
finally consented and passed ordi-
nances and resolutions annexing to
Gary some seven or eight additional
square miles or about five thousand
acres to our former territory. This
makes a symmetrical outline and
gives US the territory to the west
and north, including that surround
ing Clark, and taking in Burlington
and the territory to the south.
These large owners and railroads
in falling over one another to get
into our corporation have of course
spoiled Tolleston's plans, and it will
now be necessary for her to begin
all over again. Her petition called
for all the territory now annexed to
Gary and when this was taken away
It voided all the work that had been
done by Tolleston.

To Cost a Million.

The actual cost of this furnace will
be a million dollars, and it is to be
built to furnish the Inland Steel COM
pany with steel billets which are
now purchased from other companies.
The determination of the Inland
Steel company to manufacture their
own steel has necessitated the pur-
chase of extensive ore lands in nor
thern Michigan,
The ore is to be brought to Indiana
Harbor by enormous ore steamers
which will deposit their cargos at
the door of the furnaces where
enormous docks must be built to ac-
comodate these big freighters.
Already the harbor has been ex-
cavated for a mile inland towards the
Calumet river, the channel being two
hundred feet wide and twenty-five
feet deep. Every day the dredge
owned by the Great Lakes Dredging
company is eating its way inland at
the average rate of forty-fve feet a
day, and it has nearly reached the
point where a turning basin is to be
built of sufficient dimensions to per-
nit the turning of the longest lake
steamers. The basin will be imme-
diately back of the present plant of
the American Steel Foundry COM

TOWN PUMP AFFECTED
BY THE HEAT.

"Just a minute there, pal,
your late anyhow and you
might as well stop for a little
chat before you roll into your
nice warm feather bed" said
the town pump last night to a
passing young man who evi-
IDENTIFY heard it strike twelve
on a porch in Aomewood.
Il want to get a better line
on this supporting a bride
we'll that I heard Chief Rim
bach speak of the other day.
Never mind, I don't ask for
your opinion on how to sup
port a bride well. l wonder
how I'll explain to you, seeing
that you are a case. Alright
you see the point now? See
mine and Chief Rimbach's
idea?
We'll, in the first place I'd
suggest that it should be To-
Gated in Ressville and be for
the use of the entire county.
: You see Gary is coming to the
front and you know what that
means. Then again it would
be somewhat hidden there and
not stand out as the most
prominent building in Lake
county. If anything it could
be put farther south in the
county in order that it may
be in close proximity to the
fellows who start Cedar Lake
drainage rumors. It doesn't
matter so much about Ham
mond as we have Chief Rim
bach here and everybody else
is a lodge member.
What class Of people would
I suggest that should be sent
there? Well, to be frank
with you I think you ought to
go there every Wednesday,
Saturday and Sunday night
until you are able to earn more
than SO a week. Especial
ly do l think that you ought
to go there because you said
you liked a bride well. Of
course when you get a five
dollar raise in your present
place, I think twice a week
would hold you alright.
Somebody else who ought
to go there is that class of
men who holler at their wives
in the presence of company
when the wife steps on the
husbands toes to make them
shut up about family secret.
Yes and there are others.
Those sleigh bells that you
hear sound just like mosqui-
toes. Almost reminds me of
summer time. Be careful so
as not to trip on the ice as you
pass the Lion store"

Foundry company paid a little less
than $4,000 for it. The larger
parts had to be cut into a number
of pieces before they could be load
ed on the train.
The Ferris wheel was of entire
iron with the exception of the little
coaches.

Big Tract Of Land Is Taken
Into incorporation of
Steel City.
BUILDING BOOM COMMENCED
Actual Work Begins on Erection Of
279 Houses in Residence District
and Streets Are Being Paved.

The contract for the paving of
Broadway which was let last week,
was awarded to the Bloom Construc-
ton company. They also received
the contract for the paving of Fifth
avenue, which is to be of the same
material as Broadway namely grant
tcid.
A four inch layer of concrete will
be laid on the sand, and on top of
this five inches of granitoid, which
is mixture of cement and crushed
granite. This will make nine inch
layer of the best paving material
known to the engineering world. 1t
is well known that thre is no better
paving material than granite, but
the difficulty has been to get a
smooth surface This is now obvi-
ated by crushing it and mixing it
with cement. When it hardens 1t
has the wearing qualities of a gran
ite pavement and is as smooth and
more easily cared for than asphalt.
Arrangements are now being made
for unloading the materials and get
ting them hauled ready to begin the
paving.
Building to Begin.
The Falkner Construction company
of Chicago was given the contract
for building 297 houses in various
parts of our residence district. These
houses are to range, in cost from
$4,000 to $4,000 and will be thor
