J. B. MAILING RETURNS;
WILL LEAVE FOR GOOD SOON

J. B.. Mailing returned home Thurs
day morning from d four weeks trip
to Steamboat Springs, Colo, where he
will make his home in the future.
Mr.. Mailing talks of the wonders
and resources of the new territory west
of the mountains in Colorado.
Few men ever came to this district
who had a better conception of the
advantages and possibilities of the
Calumet region than Mr.. Mailing and
certainly none had a more forcible
or graphic way of talking or writing
about them.
Steamboat Springs is no new love
or acquaintance of an hour to Mr.. NAL
ing, as he has waited patiently for
twenty five years for the day that a
railroad would be completed down the
Bear river valley to that point, and
now that the famous Moffat road is
nearing completion Mr.. Mailing Is MAX
ing every effort to get control of as
much of the natural wealth of the
country and steamboat Springs real es-
tate as he possibly can. From all ac-
counts he is going some along the lines
he has laid down.

Representative of National
Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress in Calumet Region
FIRST MEETING At WHITING
Gary and Hammond To Be Adj
dressed By Duluth Water
Way Expert.

A campaign of education and for the
purpose Of arousing enthusiasm in this
region over the work of the National
Rivers and Harbors congress, is to be
begun by S. A. Thompson, the field sec
rotary of this organization, next Fri
day.
The first meeting will be held at
Whiting where the Commercial club of
that city will take charge of the meet
ing and s. A. Thompson will speak to
the citizens on the matter of national
harbor development.
On Wednesday of next week another
meeting will be held in Indiana Har-
Dor where Mr.. Thompson will speak be-
fore the Boosters club. At first it was
expected that the Calumet Deep Water
ways association would give banquet
at which all of the municipal and civic
organization would be represented, but
the banquet has been postponed and
it was finally though advisable to hold
the meetings separately in each of the
various cities Of the region.
On Thursday, Mr.. Thompson will
come to Hammond and will make an
address before the members Of the
Hammond Business Mems association,
which is the only organization of a civic
nature in this city.
On the sixth of May he will speak be-
fore the Gary Commercial club and will
be entertained by that organization in
approved form. The result of his pill
grimage throughout the Calumet re-
gion will undoubtedly arouse a great
deal of interest in the question of deer
waterways and may have the effect
of giving the people of this locality 9
better appreciation of what great op
portunities there are here for water
way development.

the greatest authorities on waterwa!
development in the United States. Hi
