SUBURB DE LUXE
At CHESTERTON
Senator A. j. Bowser and
Other Chesterton Men are
Interested in Property.

The Chesterton Realty company has
just closed a deal whereby II becomes
the holder of the title of all Of the
plated lands OF the Porter Land com
pany, in Chesterton. IN these additions,
which number four, there are about
1900 lots. The fourth addition has
never been touched. and laying con-
Yenient to the railroad depots will
make an ideal site for suburbanites
The Chesterton Realty company is
now at work on a plan whereby the
streets running east and west may be
opened from Morgan Park TO west end
of the corporation. On Aug. l the
Lake Shore company will give a re-
duced rate between South Chicago and
Chesterton, making this point the same
rate from Gary that it does to South
Chicago. This fact makes the under
taking Of the realty company to build
suburb for the great Calumet re-
gion, feasible, for the reason that rents
west of Gary are four times as high
as they are here and the cost Of travel
ing the same
The Chesterton Realty company is
organizing its force OF agents and
wants good representa- gives in all of
the cities and towns that have rail
communication with Chesterton east
of Englewood. The company will pay
profitable commissions to its agents,
and wants the best class of men.
The price list of lots in all of its
subdivisions are being fixed and the
first 100 lots will be sold very cheap
to actual settlers. Prices are bound to
advance very rapidly and those who
buy next week will make money.
To those who do not know who the
members of the Chesterton Realty com
pany are, we will say that the con-
Germ is composed of the following
men: A. j. Bowser. president; Edward
L. Morgan, vice president; Charles L.
Jeffrey, secretary and treasurer; F. H
Wilson and l. w. Landman
Mr.. Bowser is the editor of the
Chesterton Tribune Messrs. Morgan
and Jeffrey are Chesterton bankers; Mr.
Landman is western passenger agent OF
the Lake Shore Railroad company, and
Mr.. Wilson is the superintendent OF
the Lake Shore. All of the men in the
company are responsible, well known
and capable. They believe that con-
ditions warrant the building of a sub
urban city here and all concerned will
be benefited. 1t will be readily seer
the Lake Shore company will receive
a lasting benefit from the building OF
such city, as suburbanites must bt
carried to and from their work the dis
stance being but fifteen miles from
the great Industrial center makes I
possible to make the distance insid,
of twenty minutes and trains are nov
running that will accommodate thu
! workers.

Henry Martin, principle in the man
hunt at Highlands last night was given
Il preliminary hearing before Judge
Mcmahon and was bound over to the
Lake Superior court on five hundred
dollar bond. Martin plead not guilty
to the charge of assault although the
evidence given by Cornelius Kicker the
man who received the wound and who
discovered the stolen bicycle in the
shed belonging to the boarding house
keeper Grant Moltes, was clear and con-
else Martin showed the same indiffer-
ance and GOODNESS in the trial which he
manifested at the time of his arrest.
He will now be forced to remain in
Jail until the converting of Superior
court when he will be tried before
Judge Reiter. In the mean time his

PINCHOT REPLIES TO SENATE.
Testimony Used to Answer Criticism
of Forestry service.

OF Forestry serNAces
The recent criticism of the Forestry
Service in the Senate has been met
in peculiar manner by the testimony
before the House Committee on Ex-
pcnditures in the Department Of Agri-
culture. of Mr. Pinchot the head OF the
Forestry Service. who was asked to re-
ply to the statements made by Senator
Hepburn
Mr.. Littiefeld. chairman OF the COM
mittce, calling attention To the Con-
gressional Record of February II. men
toned 20 Mr. Pinchot the structures
made on his bureau. Mr.. Littlefeld
said Senator Hepburn had furnished
him with suggestions. and he proceeded
to examine Mr. Pinchot
In his statement MIR. Pinchot said
that the policy of the government was
to develop agriculture in the lands re-
served. and that grazing must be con-
trolled II the forests were to be saved
from determination. The grazing Is
now carefully controlled. and where re-
forestation is desired it is prohibited.
Mr.. Littlefield referred to a statement
by Senator Hepburn that people were
kept out Of reserves. Mr.. Pinchot said
he was absolutely mistaken. No one
had TO get a permit to go through a
reserve. unless he wanted TO take stock
through. Cases had occurred where
men advanced only a mile day IN
passing In order to Craze their stock.

LOCAL BIDDERS WITHDRAW
Decline to Seek the Masonic TEN.
pie Contract.
Summary Action Taken Because Of
the Refusal of the Secret Society
90 Bar All Outside Concerns.

All Of the local bidders on the Masonic
Temple withdrew their estimates yester-
day afternoon. leaving the field free TO
those firms which they consider outsiders.
This summary action is the result of the
controversy which for the past few days
has disturbed the Masonic building COM
mittee and the builders association.
The contractors, who have by secret
ballot been chosen to make bids, We're
originally eleven in number, including
three firms who do an extensive business
in Washington, but whose main offices
are elsewhere. It was about these three
firms that the storm conferred, the Masons
claiming that the field should be open to
all firms doing business in this city who
were qualified TO 90 the work. and the
local contractors contending that only
purely local firms should be allowed 70
make bids il is a mooted question as to
whether or not the sO-called outside firms
really come under that denomination. as
they have large business interests here
and do a great amount of local work.
The uoshot Of the controversy has been
that the eight local bidders yesterday
sent their DluS odCk 10 the dicuilectS WHO
have the temple i'm charge, and thus
seemed TO withdraw from the compeu-
ton.
Waddy g. Wood. member of the finn Of
Wood. Dom & Deming Who are the arch
fleets of the temple. said last night:
4 regret that the local bidders saw III
20 take this action. Personally most OF
them are close friends Of mine, and
would like nothing more than to see any
OF them awarded the contract. I shall
/ endeavOr to have them again enter the
competition which I should Ike to see
won by a local firm"

telyou recently submitted its report
