NEW RAILROAD TO
Be BUILT TO GARY
United States Steel Cor
poration is in Earnest
Over New Road.
A TRUST DEED IS EXECUTED
To Run From Milwaukee to Gary
and Will Be Belt Line
for Industries.

That the United States Steel cor.
poration is in earnest in its reported
plans for a railroad to connect Nh
waukee. Wis, Gary. and Joliet, IL.
was made evident yesterday when .
trust deed was executed to the st.
Louis Trust company at St Louis for
$2o.ooo.o0o to provide funds for the
road.
The plans grew out of the failure OF
the Milwaukee-S deal. which
road was to connect Milwaukee and
East st. Louis by way of Joliet and by
acquisition of the Illinois, Iowa and
Minnesota railway, OF the money
raised at ST. Louis. $5.50o.0oO Is to pay
for the latter road. which will form
part OF the new system.
VIII Connect Steel Plants.
1t is understood that the steel cor
poration is working through St Louis
capitalists in securing the construction
of the new road, which will connect
the Allis-Chalmers company's plant
and the Bay View rolling mills of the
Illinois Steel company at Milwaukee
with the steel corporations Gary mills
duo IAo 1OliSl p4dAS u ZIG AAl4LAo-S
Steel company.
The steel corporation has, it is un-
derstood, considerable interest in the
A1lis- Chalmers company, which is
working on $15.0oO,oo0 contract for
the Gary mills.
Belt Line Around Chicago.
There have been heavy transfers of
land along the proposed right of way
of the new road near Milwaukee re-
Gently, and it is said that the prelimin-
airy work has all been done.
The new road will be q steel cor
poration belt line around Chicago, il :
ltersecting every railway entering thas
4eity.

WILL Be A BIG AFFAIR
Splendid Program to be
Given For Sweet Char
ity's Sake.

The seats for the charity concert were
all sold this morning with the exception
of few of the rear rows and the ex-
pectation is that these will be gone be-
fore night.
The event cannot fail to be a success
both from a social. musical and financial
standpoint. The excellence of the pro-
gram every number Of which is high
class and selected with the greatest
care cannot fail to please. Many of the
numbers are familiar to concert goers
the world over. The Scene de Ballet
by De Beriot is much in favor among
players who cater to the taste of re-
fined music lovers. The Liszt and
Chopin numbers are also old favorites
and the child representations which con-
stitute the only elocutionary numbers
on the program never fail to amuse.
The artists are all well qualified to do
their part in a manner calculated to
please the most hyper-critical.
Mrs. William Edith Clark the pianiste
of the occasion handles her instruments
with consummate art and skill and the
splendid soprano of Mrs. Charles ].
O'Connor is not unfamiliar to Ham
mond music lovers. Bessie Guion Drake
has won for herself a place in the
dramatic world by her unquestionable
talent. and little Ruth Ray is child
prodigy whose ability at the present
time bespeaks a brilliant future. Last
but not least comes the able accom-
panist Mrs. Anna Ray, who is as well up
in her art as are the soloists.
All the boxes have been sold now,
the remaining boxes going to John La
vene. Charles Lavene. ]. G. Ibach, Judge

spring sunk a shallow we'll in a small
knoll which exhibited signs of seep-
age and on boring down with post
auger struck strong flow of water
which he used for irrigation the past
season. Mr.. Comerford will now run
cross cut the entire breadth of the
knoll and by further boring seeks to
obtain enough water to irrigate his en-
tire ranch.
This valley being from five to six
hundred feet lower than the plains on
either side of the river, the winter
season is one of name only. In con-
sequence there is never sufficient frost
in the ground to stop blowing and the
clearing of sage brush goes on without
interruption.
Of stone for building purposes there
will never be scarcity in Medbury
valley. Those who would build have
only to go to the towering rimrock
which marks the boundary line be-
tween plain above and valley below
and take according to their needs.
Here, at the bottom of a solid lava
cliff averaging $50 feet in eight, are
millions of tons of lava rock, much of
it already broken into shape for the
mason's hand. Under skillful treat
ment lava rock may be made into
most beautiful buildings. An ex-
ample of this work may be seen in the
depot built by the o. S. l.. at Glenns
Ferry, ten miles east of this place.
w. j. Turner has completed the in
stallation of the current wheel recent
ly invented by him. The wheel,
which is "a feet in diameter and lies
horizontally in the current of the
river, revolves around a vertical a.
inch iron shaft set securely in a rocl
foundation down in the waer anc
secured at the top by guy wires reach
ing to the banks of the stream. The
paddles of the wheels are oscillatinf
and float flat on the water on the
shore side but on swinging out into the
current adjust themselves automati
cally to catch the full force of the
current. The power from the revolv
ing wheel is transmitted to pump OF
shore by means of wire cable. Mr.
Turner has had a little trouble il
getting the proper kind of pump t.
attach. The current wheel does no
develop enough speed to operate ro
tary pump successfully, and a suction
pump will be used.
