GIBSON TO GET
YARDS AND SHOPS
Old Rumor That Division
Headquarters of M. G.
Will go There, Revived

The rumors regarding the moving
from Michigan City Of the Michigan
CentraIs yards and shops, and the To-
eating Of them at Gibson, are so per-
sistent. that railroad men have gen.
orally come to consider the thing as
settled.
Today the matter was discussed by
employees connected with the road and
they stated that the division head
quarters were to be located here, too.
1t is said that the railroad is great
Is cramped for quarters at Michigan
city and that steps would have to be
taken at once TO relieve the conges-
ton.
OF course the matter is being kept
very quiet by the railroad officials who
usually keep these things in cold stor-
age until they have completed all of
their plans.
1t is apparent, however, that the
Michigan Central contemplates this
change and that Hammond is to have
what will practically amount to an
other great industry before another
year passes by.
All of the switching, freight and pas
senger crews will be compelled to live
here and the employees of the shops will
also have to become Hammond citizens
Gibson will be the headquarters OF
two great railway systems and is
destined to become one of the most i'm
portant sections of Hammond
The loss to Michigan City will be
quite a blow to the town. They will
have to accept the inevitable, however
and the vigorous denials which always
follow the publication of the story thai
the Michigan Central shops are tC

chanoeahle Electric Sig -

Brilliant effects for electric signs
are now to be readily obtained with
little cost by the use Of small colored
transparent caps, which fit over the
rounded ends of the incandescent
bulbs. This permits the owner of a
changeable electric sign to alter the
legend at will and TO indulge in the
use OF colors without the necessity Of
keeping on hand large supply Of col
ored lamps, some Of which are very

ORTT & TOWLE
GET NEW QUARTERS.
VIII Start New Store Where Wom-
ems shoes Will be Sold Exclusively.

Ortt & Towle have made such
great progress in their store on Hob
man street that they have found it
necessary to divide the business and
do part of it in one place and the rest
in another.
For this purpose they have decided
to open an establishment on the sec
ond floor of the Hammond building
where they will handle women's shoes
exclusively.
The new store will be modern and
up-to-date in every particular and the
firm Will carry there the finest line
OF women's shoes in the city.
The old store will be retained for
the sale of mems shoes and a larger
stock will be carried than ever. The
removal of the stock OF womens shoes
to the new quarters will make this
possible.
Miss Kittie Kelley will have a suite
Of rooms next to this store and there
will be an opening between the two
so that the customers from one store
can go to the other and make what
purchases they desire.
The plan of having stores of this
kind on the second floor CT a business
block is unique and it is doubtful if
there is a parallel anywhere in the
country hereabout.
The plan has proven great sue
cess in the case of Miss Kelley, how
even, and Mr.. Ortt. who has already
won the patronage and confidence OF
the people, Will probably do a thriv-
ing business in his new quarters.

Chinese Minister'S American Ways.

The Chinese minister to the United
States, Sir Chentung Liancheng, is a
graduate of Andover and Yale. He IS
a devotee of baseball, and often at
tends the games. A good player him
self, he often is the chief figure in a
most unique picture, when playing,
his skirts tucked up, with his two
small boys and their little friends.
Tennis, too, has been a great favorite
with the minister, while he is also
very much devoted to horseback rid
ing. These last two accomplishments
are rather rare among orientals.

ADVERTISING AMERICUS

The step taken by the Board OF
Trade to publish a pamphlet,
which will thoroughly and accur
ately describe Americas and
Sumty county, is one that must
commend itself to every man in
this city and county who has their
welfare at heart.
1t is only through such a medium
that the world can be made aware
of the innumerable opportunities
that offer themselves here to the
home seeker and the investor. No
matter how rich our soil may be,
how varied its possible products,
and how profitable the returns to
the farmers, unless the public is
made acquainted with the facts we
cannot expect new corners to fill up
the vacant places. Such informa-
ton does not travel shy word of
mouth but must be disseminated
through pamphlets and other
advertising matter. Neither is it
possible to bring the advantages of
Americas to theattention of man
ufacturers unless advertising of
modern character is resorted to.
With an up-to-date illustrated
booklet in readiness, it will be
possible at all times to present our
claims to the attention of parties
whom it may be desirable to seek
as citizens. That is the purpose
the Board of Trade has in view.
In order that the Board of Trade
may do its work effectively, and
to the best advantage, it is neces-
sary that it have members to sus-
tain it, funds with which to work
Its dues are small, but one dollar
q month. Surely there are two
hundred citizens in Americas with
sufficient public spirit to be will
ing to make such a small outlay
for the purpose of keeping this
city and county before the world,
of promoting our development,
andinsuring our future growth.

APARk AND TREE COMMISSION.

Goods greatest thought in
nature is a tree" said Emerson.
"The man who plants tree
leaves behind him pleasant mem
cries for future generations, says
another writer who loved trees,
appreciated their beauty, and the
part they played in mans comfort,
as well as in his material well
being.
We have some magnificent trees
in Americas. Many of the oaks
adjoining the streets of this city
have no superiors in the entire
country. Stalwart, of magnificent
breadth of shade, they stand firm
rooted against the storms For a
half century they have done yeo-
man service, and bid fair to shade
the grandchildren of the men and
women of to-day.
But what of the future on those
streets where no thoughtful hand
guided by a far seeing mind, has
put out the sappliHg that is tC
grown into the proud monarch OF
later years? Some streets are
beautiful to look upon, a source Of
boundless satisfaction to the eve
But others are almost barren OF
shade, or with trees that are o.
little account for the purpose either
of shade or of beauty. Is nothing
to be done for the adOrnment O
these highways. Is this genera
ton to do nothing for those wh'
are to come after it?
| Why not make tree planting par
of the progressive policy of thu
greater Amerlcus of to-day2 VIII.
should not the city put out tree
for property owners at the actua
cost to it, reducing the expense t
a minimum? Why should notstep
be taken to ensure the planting o
lsuitable trees, under proper condi
| tions7
1t has been suggested tina
| Americas profit by the example o
Savannah and establish h parl
and trees commission, in who's
hands the care of the public place
and the trees would be fixed. Th
idea is worthy of consideration
In any event something should b
done toward the planting of NOR
trees, and trees of the right variety
