CORRECTING A CORRECTION.

In our correction last week of the shotgun episode article we made mistake which necessitates another correction. William Schmidt is one of our best citizens and does not use a shotgun to chase people either in or out of house. We rather looked for him to bring a gatling gun down to the Bee office after reading our article last week. In the hurry of getting copy ready we wrote the name William Schmidt, when it should have been Henry Henry-not Bill--is the shot gun man that chased a woman into" not out of her house. Another time we stand corrected. We hope this ar ticle is all straight-that all names are right and spelled right That we haven't used out for in or in for out or up for down. If we were running daily it wouldn't be so bad, for we could correct the mistake sooner but to wait a week and have that sus- pense hanging over one, like a sword hanging by a thread, that's what's putting the gray hairs in the Old Mans head.-Powhatan Bee.

BIG LUMBER PLAN
Australian Company Has ob- tained Great Siberian
 Concession.
EIGHT THOUSAND MILES
Timber 10 Be Shipped in Summer From Northern to Southern
 Hemisphere

An Australian corporation has just received a concession from the Rus sian government to take out thirty million feet of timber year from a forest in Siberia, nine hundred miles from Vladivostok, to be delivered in Melbourne, Australia, approximately 5000 miles away. and nearly three times the distance from New York to San Francisco.
 It is likely that no numbering oper- ation of recent years more strongly illustrates the pinch in the timber supply in all parts of the world. In the news of the concession, told in an American lumber journal, is the suggestion of the difficulty that tll countries may have to encounter in getting the wood which they need in the future Every year timber cruis- CTS are going further and further afield and cutting trees which, in | former times of abundance, they pass ed because of the inaccessibility of the forest.
 ! the Melbourne iumbermen will have to ship the entire years cut in July, | August, September and October, for ] during the remainder of the year there is no open water at the point of shipment What makes this unusual feature of transporting bulky logs s, 900 miles quite feasible is that such unmanufactured stock is admitted free. while there is a heavy duty on ! all manufactured wood brought into Australia, the duty on lumber, for in stace, being nearly $500 a thousand board feet. At Melbourne, new mill is being erected to manufacture these logs into dressed stock, such as flooring, ceiling and other products, as well as into lumber.
 These Siberian operations differ from the numbering methods in the United States in that in this country 1t is possible and customary to have new mills conveniently near the place of production. though. with the con tinually decreasing supply, the larger mills often find it profitable to haul their timber by trans and railroads many miles away from their saws Forest experts in this country say that the hope of the United States fol a steady supply of timber lies in the application of forestry to all timber lands, private and public, and the careful study of the economical and better utilization of product Even so, a severe shortage in twenty tc twenty-five years must be expected

VALLEY STORE EXHIBITION.
Silks That Won Jamestown Gold
 Medal 10 be Shown.

The gold medal for spool and en- broidery silks awarded at the James town Exposition was given to the house of Bedding Bros. & Co. Their exhibit was one of the finest in the manufac- turers' building, Every kind of sew ing and embroidery silks known to the trade was shown in the glass cases around the booth. Inside the booth were shown the finest pieces of art em. broidery made in the United States.
 Among these was a copy of Thomas Blink's famous painting Unity" This represents field trial of English, Irish and Gordon setters. It took two years and three months of steady work to complete this piece and millions of stitches were taken on It. over five hundred (5O0) shades of silk being used in it's execution.
 Another piece of great value was the Gainsborough portrait of the Duchess of Devonshire. This took eighteen months steady work, and from the ar- tist's standpoint is probably the finest piece of work in the collection. A face is always difficult to reproduce.
 The Jamestown seal two Indians on the shore of the Jamestown Island watching the first ship coming up the James River speaks for itself. The poster, with the Old Tower, all that is left to tell of the old settlers. The tobacco, corn and wheat, Virginia's products with Pocahontas at the head recalls the early history of Virginia. This with the Marine scene gives us all kinds of work in silk. It shows clearly that whatever can be produced with the brush can be copied in silk if of the right make.
 Included in this exhibit were many smaller pieces which can easily be cop led by anyone interested in embroidery, provided they have a competent teach CT. Pieces such as the fruit studies, floral pieces and the pheasants, a still life study for the dining room, and all kinds of centerpieces dear to the heart of every woman interested in beautify- ing her home, were shown at the ex- hibit.
 The above will be upon exhibition in the Art Annex, main floor at Malleys.

CHINA's ENGLISH SERVANT.

Sir Robert Hart, for many years head of the Chinese customs service and postoffice, is absteminous and methodical to a degree. His day is carefully arranged for the perform ance of his many duties, but he has always found time to be voluminous letter writer Much of his administra- tive work has been done by private note, and his correspondents are le- zion "A lover of music, he has for years maintained band composed of Chinese who have been trained to play stringed as we'll as wind instruments, and his Wednesday afternoon garden parties during the spring, summer and early autumn, with their march past" following an afternoons mus ic are one of the institutions of Pekin. while his dinner table is neutral ground for the jealous factions which matic circle.
 Ambitious. with a love of power; warm hearted but singularly cool in his judgment, with tenacious mem ory and a remarkable capacity for constant application. grasp of detail and the ability to conceive a compre- hensive plan of action; patient and energetic, sympathetic and yet reserv- ed, Sir Robert has erected his own monument. the one really efficient branch of the Chinese administration His life affords a raer example of deTotion and fidelity, and his ability to serve foreign prince as his own sov- ereign. while others have often heen tempted to make patriotism an excuse for disloyalty, is a quality of which Anglo-Saxon manhood may be justly proud.-Willard Straight, in Put nam'S

It is expected that a satisfactory set tlement will be reached with the trolley company for the damage received by the As fire engine that was hit by a car night before last. The machine was valued at s6,0G0 and the accident will require it to be thoroughly over hauled The fire department officials seem to think that express cars are run through the street at too rapid rate.

ARRANGE FOR BATTLE
Remonstrance Cases Are
Taken Today in Lake
Superior Court.

The saloonkeepers of Calumet town
ship are going to make last des-
perate effort to win out in the remon-
STRANGE fight. This was definitely de-
cided today, when the attorneys repre-
senting the saloonkeepers filed their
appeals in the Lake superior court
Sixteen appeals were taken and it
is in these cases that the attorneys
for the saloonkeepers hope TO have the
remonstrance thrown out. It is under
stood that all of the cases will be
fought out to a finish, and John Gavit
the attorney for the saloonkeepers. said
this morning that the action was a
pretty evident indication that the mat
ter would not be allowed to stand as
it is.
Most of the cases were filed by A. F.
Knots and the rest were Whiting
cases, filed by John Gavit. Mr.. Gavit
said today that the thing upon which
the appeal would be based would be
the fact that the remonstrance was
secured by fraud.
Those who have appealed their cases
are Frank Sachner, John Kollar. Joe
Prus, Jacob Cziszon, Peter Gollovicz
Wladislaw Ozdzinski. Michael Walsh
Fred ]. Petroons. Otto C. Borman Nor
ris Goldman. John Bilkovic, Fred Behn
Richard Much. A. Eberle Peter Ro-
manyak and Lawrence Hoover
The defendant in all cases was Rev
George Deuele.

LONG DROUTH IS
BROKEN At LAST
Hammond and Vicinity is
Visited by Plentiful
Fall of Rain.
1T WAS VERY BADLY NEEDED
Rainfall in Other Parts of the Coun-
ty Is Not as Much as the
Crops Require.

At last the six weeks drouth is
broken. 1t really rained last night and
again today the skies poured forth
their belated blessings. The rain
seemed to be confined to the lake re-
gion in the northern part of the cOun-
ty and at Crown Point there was hard
~ enough precipitation to lay the dust.
Today the showers seemed to be
more general over the county and the
reports which are received from the
farmers are very encouraging. AS
near as can be ascertained, the great
est losers from the drouth are the
truck gardeners whose tomatoes. beans
and cabbage crop are not nearly so
good as they should be.
VIII Save the Corn.
The corn will be saved by the rain
and the late potatoes will be all right.
Although there was a high wind last
night and the electrical storm was one
of the hercest that has ever visited
the city. there is little evidence Of
damage done
1t seemed last night that the light
ming had struck every house in town,
so numerous were the crashes and so
near did they seem. The lightning was
almost continuous and there was a
heavy downpour of rain along toward
morning
The farmers seem to be satisfied
with the outlook now. The pastures
will be brought back to life, the corn
crop will be fair. the hay crop has
/ been good, and the season will be a
fair one for them. Hewever. the rain
would have done a great deal more
good If 1t had come three days sooner.
| Rain Was Most Welcome.
! In Hammond and other cities of the
region, it is a relief to have the dust
! filled atmosphere washed by the rain
and to have the walks, streets and
house tops thoroughly drenched with
water
| In fact the rain was almost as well
come in the city as it is in the country
and everybody is glad that the hot
dusty drought is ended. The country
at large seems to have had relief from
rain and the prospects are that the
farmer will get more for his crops this
| year than he did last when the people
paid him $500, 100000 for them.

THE QUESTION IS:
WHO PAYS EXPENSES
Agitations Are Reviewed for Rema-
cadamizing of One Hundred and
Fourth and Sixth streets; Also for
Hegewisch road-Property Owners
Want Improvement Made.

South Chicago concerns doing big
business across the Indiana state line.
and having much of their product
hauled to Hammond, Whiting. East
Chicago and Indiana Harbor, are sit
ting up and taking notice of the pro-
posed improvement offered by the
county commissioners of Lake county,
Indiana.
The Lake county commissioners pro-
pose to remacadamize Sheffield avenue.
from Hammond to the we'll known
corner where the White House stands.
and also to remacadamize Indiana
boulevard. which runs into One Hun
dred and Nineteenth street in Whiting.
With this big improvement made by
the Indiana people South Chicago
concerns think the time opportune to
renew an agitation to improve some
street west of the Indiana state line.
The agitation is an old one, but is
meeting with opposition from vari-
Gus angles.
south Chicagoans vitality Interested.
| South Chicago trafficers, of course.
would like to see One Hundred and
Sixth street. which now connects with
Indiana boulevard at the state line, de-
|
quently have the board of public i'm
provements of Chicago take the i'm
provement money from the general
fund. Opposition to this procedure is
expected, however, from members on
the public Improvement board. since
One Hundred and Sixth street. or One
Hundred and Fourth street which is
also under discussion for improv ement
| fnr n fn OF
tied. Since they are fairly well set
tied the board of public improvements
may answer that the property owners
on the street to be improved should
shoulder the expense. The property
owners, however. can not be blamed
for opposing an Improvement along
this line, for it would mean that they
would have to pay for the street and
then have all the South Chicago traf-
| fic going into Indiana wear out their
pavement in a few short years.
For Hegewisch Road.
Another agitation which is being
revived especially by the action of the
Lake county commissioners, is that OF
improving the Hegewisch road. Tor
renee avenue. which is improved from
! Ninety-fifth street south TO the Hege-
wisch road would form the north and
souts connecting link. but the only OBJ
lection to this plan is that the Hege-
wisch road. while a good highway for
the traffic to Hammond. is TO far out OF
the way
The only solution to the problem
seems to be for the South Chicago
concern - get together in united ef-
fort and heve the board of public i'm
provement recognize either One Hun
dred and Fourth One Hundred and
Sixth street, as a country road and
have the paving expenses payed from
the general fund

of shipping meat in special cars, and
the idea was put in practice in the

cattle being dressed and shipped to
Boston, inaugurating the great meat
shipping industry.

GET ANOTHER PAVEMENT
Standard Steel Car Works
Will Have One Street Be
fore Winter Sets In.

The Standard Steel Car district will
get at least one paved street before
the winter sets in. The board of pub
lie works this morning passed an i'm
provement resolution for the paving of
Morton avenue with vitrified brick. The
property owners in the district have
been clamoring for a pavement for a
long time, fearing that some day fire
would break out in the Standard ana
that the fire department would be hind
cred in gaining a speedy entrance into
the district with the fire engine.
Omission in Advertisement.
The report for the Oak street and
One Hundred and Fiftieth street sewers
were accepted and placed on file, and
the primary assessment roll placed on

tisement void, the clerk was instructed
again today to advertise for bids on
the Ada street sewer, the bids to be
sent by August 26.
