Tax Returns

cause lots of trouble to lots Of people
the making of them does. The not
making of returns causes lots of
trouble to the good folks in the tax
office, and the fellow who fails to
make returns has no kick coming if
they get his values too high. An inn
portant part of the business of our
Trust Department is the making and
filing of tax returns for our clients
and the paying of taxes, water rates,
insurance premiums, etc, for them be-
fore there are any penalties or lapsa-
tons. Let us relieve you of some of
these worries, good reader. It won't
cost You anything to consult Us about
it. !.

CASE NEAR DECISION
Data Ready ON Which Secretary Taft
VIII Base Ruling.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Judge Adyo-
cate General Davis of the army, to
whom was referred the question as to
the right of the secretary OF war TO
grant permit to the sanitary board
Of Chicago to divert the waters of
Lake Michigan into the Calumet river
for drainage purposes, has completed
his opinion and it is now in the hands
of the printer. The opinion goes at
great length into the subject Of the
powers vested in the secretary by the
river and harbor acts of 1890 and 1899
to control the navigable waters of the
United States. The chief of engineers
maintains that the secretary of war is
without authority TO grant the request
of the Chicago sanitary board. It is
not improbable that Secretary Taft
with this data before him will be able
to reach an early decision

HOUSE NOTED FOR FISH
DINNERS DESTROYED BY FIRE
Lake Front COttnge Formerly Occu-
pied by III. W. breckenridge Ruined
Before Employees of Pumping Station
Can Extinguish Flames.

The cottage in Lake Front park
which has become familiar to a great
many Hammond people as a place
where excellent fish suppers could be
had and which was formerly occupied
by H. w. Breckenridge, whose wife
made the dinners famous. caught fire
last night and was ruined before the
employees of the city at the pumping
station could extinguish the flames.
It is suspected that the fire was start
ed by tramps who went into the old
house and built a bonfire for the pur-
pose Of keeping warm The flames
were not discovered until this morn
ing and had evidently been smoIder-
ing all night.
The loss is not great, as the building
was an old one and probably not worth
more than two or three hundred dol
lars. 1t was also a very unsightly
place and it is not likely that there
viii be much mourning over it's de-
struction.

tiger" is being operated officers shall
search the place and take possession
Of all liquors.
That the officer making the search
shall file an affidavit against the per-
son in charge of the alleged blind
tiger" if liquors are found.
That If fluids are poured out or
otherwise destroyed by the keeper such

evidence that intoxicating liquors are
intended for unlawful use.
That when no one is found in posses
sion of a blind tiger" liquor discov-
cred on the place shall be destroyed

That common carriers, draymen, etc,

RAPID GROWTH
Of FOURTH WARD
Forsyth Will Build 100
Houses on Newly Sub
divided Property.

The fourth ward is developing at
rapid rate and the people of the
southern portion of Hammond are so
interested in their own affairs that they
are not all acquainted with the do
ings in Alderman Schaafs domain.
Confidently, with the report that
Forsyth is to subdivide a large plat
Of ground on both sides of Sheffield
avenue north of Indiana boulevard, it
has been learned that the Western
Glucose company is to employ 1000
men.
1t is stated that Mr.. Forsyth will
build one hundred houses at once and
is planning TO build great many more
later on. Richard Schaaf, jr.. is look
ing after both his and his fathers in
terests and has decided to plat some
acreage that he owns in the vicinity
of the new plant and may also decide
TO build some houses next spring.
Hammond Wants Profit Itself
Hammond citizens in the far north.
it appears, do not intend that the city
Of South Chicago or the property own
ers in Illinois shall reap the benefit
from a Hammond industry and so they
are exceedingly active in their efforts
to build up the town and prepare for
the thrush Of people when the plant
begins operations.
The building of the new concern has
now reached a stage where they are
putting up the structural iron and
there is already an imposing array of
buildings.
1t is said that several property own
ers ere to appear before the board of
public works in the near future to
submit plats for approval and the peo-
pie of RobertsdaIe are interested in
knowing just how they will be laid
out
The sentiment seems to be that the
streets ought to run north and south
and east and west to conform to those
in Illinois, while some owners of the
acreage seem inclined to plat their
land in such a manner as to get the
most lots out of it, regardless of the
surrounding territory

LOOKS BLACK FOR
CITIES AND TOWNS
Classification Shows Where
Different Boroughs Get
Of Hammond Fifth.
Especial TO Lake County Times).

Indianapolis, Feb. 1.-THE cities and
towns bill has practically been agreed
upon BY the Subcommittee that has
been thrashing out the subject. In
brief, this bill viii cut out the city
judge, city controller and boards of
public works in the following cities:
Lafayette. Logansport. Marion. New
Albany, Anderson. Muneie. Elkhart, Ell
wood, Hammond, Jefersonvine, Ko-
komo, Michigan City and Yincennes
There IS some chance that the sub
committee viii leave the question of the
adjustment of the board of public
works to the councils of the different
cities but that is not regarded as be-
ing likely.
Under the new bill neither the fourth
nor the fifth class cities will have these
offices. And a change is made in the
classification so that the above men
toned cities viii suffer the change.
The first class is left as it is, APP
plying to Indianapolis. The second
class will remain, applying to Evans
vile and Fort Wayne; the third class
will be changed to apply to cities with
a population of between $4,000 and
45,000-to include South Bend and
Terre Haute.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1907-02-14

between $4,000 and $4,000 This viii
include Marion, Anderson and Muncie.
and exclude Elkhart, Elwood, Ham
mond, JeffersonvHle. Kokomo. Michi-
gan City and Vincennes. all of which
are to be relegated TO the fifth class,
along with all of the other cities in
the state except Lafayette, Logans-
port Marion and Richmond, which still
remain in the fourth class.
In other words South Bend and Terre
in the third class; all Of the smaller
in thethird class; all of the smaller
cities are showed down either to the
fourth or fifth class and the offices
above mentioned cut out from such
classes. In all sixteen cities are af-
fected, only two of which asked for re-
lief.

Montczuma's Well,

Among the many natural curios-
tiles of Arizona, but one that is not
often visited by ordinary tourists,
is the singular bowl shaped depres-
sion in Yavapi county called ''Mon-
tezuma's Well" It is nearly circu-
lar and between 500 and 600 feet in
diameter at the brim. 1t lies in the
midst of nearly level area. The
sides are vertical to a depth of thir-
ty or forty feet. Below that they
merge into a sloping talus, which
extends down to a circular pool of
water, alleged by popular tradition,
as are SO many other not very deep
areas Of water, to be bottomless.
This remarkable formation has usu-
ally been described as spit crater
of volcanic origin, but Professor
William P. Blake believes it to be
the result of the falling of the roof
of cavern formed in the limestone
strata by running water. The water
of the pool, he says, flows out
through a subterranean channel
into the valley Of Beaver creek
New Orleans Picayune.
