The Athletics arrived early and were

nicely and Connie Mack is hopeful Of

Company.

Oticer Trinen yesterday stopped the
employees of the Chicago Lake Shore

North Holman street
The interurban officials claim that
the ticket office is only to be tempo
rary but the city officials fear that If
the company was allowed to build
and occupy temporary ticket office
1t would take its time in building a

1t was because of the fear that Ham
mond would be beaten out of its prom
ised depot for several years to come
that the work on the temporary depot
was stopped.
The police were able to stop the
building of the depot on the grounds
that it was a frame structure within

Campaign is Deferred There
Until Eighteenth of

The opening of the campaign in Gary,
which is to be graced by the presence
in the city of Congressman E. d.

postponed from Sept. IA to Sept. 16.
This information was telephoned to
publican club of Gary, yesterday af-
ternoon by Fred Crumpacker, secre-
tary of the county central committee

change in the date and 1t is assumed
that 1t was made to suit the convent

will be made with the latter date in
view. 1t is planned on this date to
fnstill the greatest possible amount
of ginger into the meeting, and music
and noise can be had In abundance.
1t is predicted that there will be 500
people crowd into the largest hall
that there is in Gary to hear the con-
gresham speak The detailed ar

Cost for Wigwam Too Great.
The idea which a few persons sug-
gested at the last meeting, of erect
ing wigwam in the south part of
the city where the foreigners might
congregate and have republicanism in
stilled into them, has never received
any serious consideration. Several
leaders of the party said yesterday that
the cost would take the idea out of
the scope of feasibility. In the place
of that plan, however, they intend to
rent hall somewhere in that portion
of the city where the foreigners may
be addressed in their own language by
their leaders. This idea will probably
be executed the latter part of this
month.

To LEAVE HAMMOND
Superior Mailing Co. Con-
siders Chicago Site For
New Elevator.
THEY WANT HARB0R FRONTAGE
Plant Which Was Burned at Calu-
met Park Last to the CAL
umet Region

For the first time in the history nj
Hammond this city is likely to suffer
the loss of an important industry for
the reason that 1t has no harbor faciI-
it1es. For the first time the fact has
been brought home to the Hammond
business man that his lack of agress-
iVeness In providing this city with the
advantage which Gary, Indiana Harbor
and South Chicago have, will mean the
loss to the community of a half million
dollar concern
While the first reports were the Su
perior Mating compnay's plant, which
was destroyed by fire this summer,
would be rebuilt here, it now develops
that unless the present plans fall
through 1T will be built on the Chicago
river in Chicago.
1t is understood that the present own
ers of the Superior Mailing company
are in the east negotiating with eastern
capitalists for the money with which to
build 100000 plant in Chicago.
Old Office Abandoned
The office in Hammond has been
abandoned and the only present evil
dence that the company was ever To-
Gated here are the charred ruins of the
old elevator
1t is understood that an elevator is
to be built in Chicago which will cost
in the neighborhood of $3.50, 900 and the
malt house will cost SIPS, 900, the en-
CINE room and other buildings, which
1t will be necessary to build will cost
$4,000 and the site will cost $4,000.
The Superior Mailing company is in
possession of patent mailing process
which Mr.. Rice. its inventor, believes
will revolutionize the mailing. business.
If this is true Hammond is losing a
concern which is likely to develop into
one of the biggest of its kind in the
country.
The Superior Mating company was
formerly located in West Hammond in
VISA known as Calumet park and was
one fthe principal industries over
there. Before the fire the plans of the
company to expand were already being
developed but West Hammond instead
of Chicago was to be the scene of its
growth.
business Men Regret Loss.
The opinion is generally expressed by
Hammond business men, who have been
acquainted with the facts, that it is a
pity for the concern to locate outside
Of the Calumet region and if Hammond
can not keep the Superior Mating com
pany here; it is hoped that it could be
induced to go to Indiana Harbor or
Gary.
The object of the company in locit
ing on the Chicago river is to have the
advantage of the cheap shipment of
grain from the west by boat An i'm
nense amount of freight can be saved
n this manner as the grain which is !
raised in the great northwest can be
shipped most of the way to Chica go bv |
