A DAY IN GARY LAND
HEARD BY RUBE.

Better go over to the Armour cold
storage station next Monday and take a
look at some of the porterhouse steak
you can't afford to buy.
The goose-stealing epidemic has
grown to be such a fad among the
colored folks that chicken coops in
the future will have no attraction for
them
As long as they are trying to ex-
tend Broadway out to Crown Point why
not try little harder and stretch it
out to Lowell.
1t will be a chilly ride for those who
have to ride on the water wagon, but
let US hope they will stick it out
If the Chicago, Lake shore & South
Bend interurban run their first car over
the line tomorrow 1t will be another
good resolution that the company has
kept.
If every man in Gary was taken for
his own valuation there wouldn't be
half enough halves to go around
Let us hope that the Gary youngster
in ringing in the New Year will use
the soft pedal on the tin horns
Have you noticed the happy smile
on the Gary coal dealers face today
In day or two some long whiskered
person will arise and declare he pre-
dict the earthquake
Up to the hour of going to press no
one has been arrested in Gary for spit
ting on the sidewalk

A story which almost parallels that

and on the veracious accounts of sober
citizens took the pinnacle from the

weather might become so thick that
he would lose his bearings and have

GARY IN RETROSPECT
Magic City Records Many
Important Events in
One Short Year.

Gary's second New Years will be cele-
brated tomorrow in fitting manner, as
the people of the city believe that
enough has transpired in the past year
for the good of the city to warrant the
celebration of the day. During the
past year such momentous events as
the opening of the Gary harbor. the
bringing in OF the first boat load of ore.
the lighting of the furnace fires. the
construction of hundreds of thousands
OF dollars worth of residences and
buildings. and other things which have
brought Gary into the limelight have
transpired.
ON Gary's second New Years the met
ropolitan airs of a city have been as
sumed in place of the shacks. crude
business houses, tents, etc., which
marked the city year or two years
ago when the construction work had
Just started, and the city had all the
earmarks of a new western mining
town. Many of the pioneers will spend
the day considering the events that
have transpired since the last Neaw
Years was celebrated.

For Good Speaking Voice

Don't contract the throat when
speaking. Try to keep it free, the
cords flexible and easy to manage.
Don't forget that it is worth practicing
in the privavy of ones room to learn
the natural register, the tones in
which the voice works best. By these
exercises there is not the slightest
danger of becoming declamatory. A
declamatory style of conversation is a
horror, but much will be gained IL
one tries the experiment of making a
tone reach the next room without
raising the pitch of the voice. This
means deep breathing. chest expan-
sion and head held erect. without
these three it is impossible to have
a good speaking voice-a fact worth
remembering.

East Chicago. Ind, Dec 31.-Frank
Jurschak, former driver for the
bartholomew & Roesing Brewing COM
pany, has relinquished his possession
of the cash register belonging to the
brewery. Jurschak was recently ac-
cused by officials of the brewery of
having in his possession moneys be-
longing to the corporation.
Jurschak has vigorously denied this
and IN addition to keeping the cash
register, has refused to make an1r
settlement whatever He claims tina.
the corporation also owes him consfd
cradle back salary and commissions.
The brewery officials concede this. but
declare that their indebtedness is much
less than his and 1t is therefore only
just that he first make settlement.
The register was taken from the ex-
driver on a writ of replevin, served
by local constable. On former trip
to Jurschak home on Forsyth avenue
the constable was refused admittance
Jurschak, assisted by two women,
threatened to throw him from the
house If he attempted to enter. The
constable returned to his attorneys.

his failure to carry out instructions by
pleading ill-health.

CROSS AND RECROSS
THE LITTLE CALUMET
Will Give the River a New and
Railroad Bridges Where Possible
Thousands of Acres Will Be Re-
claimed By This Enormous
Project.

| For the past ten days Guy M. Stinch.
field, surveyor of Porter county, re.
siding at Valparaiso, and a party OF
engineers, have been in Gary and the
vicinity of Dune Park, taking the actual
survey for the Burns ditch.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Stinchfield
to take complete survey of the
course of the ditch from its source to
the mouth at Lake Michigan. Other
surveys will also be made, but 1T is
thought that the first line will be the
one that will be used as it will be the
most direct route and one from which
the most benefit will be derived If
the line is changed by other surveys
1T will deviate, but very little from
the one now being laid out by Sur
yeyor Stinchfield.
1t will probably take over three
months to make the actual survey of
the ditch.Y said Mr.. Stinchfeld this
morning. '-Of course. we may have
inclement weather which will delay the
work, but we expect to be through in
that time"
About four miles of the proposed
ditch has been surveyed. Mr.. Stinch-
field and his men have been setting
stakes and getting their points near
Dune Park for the past ten days In
one place, southwest of Dune Park
which is about eight miles east of
Gary, the line crosses the Little Calu-
met river six times in about $500 feet
in the various curves and bends the
river takes in its course. This will
change the entire course of the rivers
at that place and the waters of the
rivers will have the ditch as their flu
ture bed.
VIII Enhance Real Estate Values.
The Burns ditch, when completed,
will reclaim thousands and thousands
of acres of swamps land in both Lake
and Porter counties. although it IS one
of the biggest propositions ever con-
ceived and promoted by Gary brain,
and it is estimated will cost $4,000
The benefits which will be derived to
the land owners will be so great that
the cost will be a small item
1t is not known as yet just where
the ditch will cross Broadway at the
present time, as the survey has not
reached that point as yet. 1t is the in
tention of the surveyors to strike as
many railroad bridges as possible, thus
lessening the cost of constructing 9TH
ers. 1t is also the intention to cut
through the little Calumet, about five
miles east of Gary, through Dune Park
to Lake Michigan.
