A friend writing us states that he Is
at loss to understand why high priced
land In so many sections Is left lying
idle for lack of proper thing. He states
that 1t has cost him but $15 an acre for
the land he has actually tiled, while
the land thus drained has become the
most productive of his whole farm.
Our friend states that under no circum-
stances would he lay n smaller tile
than four inches In diameter, smaller
size being at times unable to do the
work required of It,

During the last two calendar years
we have imported gold to the amount
OF $300,000,000. During the same time
we have exported gold to the amount
Of about $100,000,000, leaving the net

IN the Megaphone of March

IN the Megaphone of March
26 appeared a statement over
the personal signature of John
H. Garrett, that within ten
days a lateral will be completed
to the land of every man want
ing water for irrigation this
season. Again, within ten
days the water from Camas
Prairie will be flowing into the
Mountain Home reservoir. I"
Why are these very definite
promises made? The ten days
have passed, and more, yet no
one seems to have expected
that the promised laterals would
be completed and no one seems
to be surprised that the water
from Little Camas is not forth
coming. Everyone seems to
have taken these promises for
just what they were worth, and
forgotten them, as they have
hundreds of others before.
Really, what is the use of max
ing them? The Great Western
Beet Sugar company cannot sell
any more water rights on the
strength of them. Too many
people are reading the Republi-
can these days for that sort of
thing to go on. 1t is very diff
fcult matter to get a man from
the depot up to the Company's
office, without his seeing a
Republican, or talking to some
man who has seen one and is
talking about it. And as the
company and its parasites have
already found out, it is a still
more difficult matter to con-
vince a man who has seen the
Republican that the matters
stated therein are untrue. He
is handed a copy of the Mega
phone, to read the other side of
the case, but although he reads
it through and through, he finds
in it no denial of the statements
in the Republican; he reads
nothing but explanations and
apologies-and promises. He
is introduced to alleged cold
timers" whom none of the real
old-timers can recall to have
seen until within a few months,
but from these he hears no de-
NAL of the Republicans state
ments; he hears only more ex-
plantations and excuses - and
more promises. Then he leaves
town, and presently it is an
nounced that "the knockers"
have spoiled another $4,000
deal" Really, gentlemen, what
is the use? Go ahead with your
work; complete the laterals,

WALTER NOWAk FLEES
. FROM HIS CREDITORS
Man Who Ruined Young
Woman Has Now
Absconded.
REAL ESTATE man IN TROUBLE
Attorney w. J. MacAleer of Ham
mond to Whom He Gave Worth
less Check, Is After Nowak.

Walter Nowakss we'll known in Ham
mond and at one time one of Gary's
leading citizens, a real estate dealer
who was mentioned as a candidate for
mayor has completed his downfall.
After bringing about the ruin of Mary
Becker, who was employed by him as
stenographer, the people of Gary began
to find out what kind of a man he
prised to learn yesterday that he had
absconded leaving behind him a trail
of debts, after committing several Of
lenses for which he will be sent to the
penitentiary If he is ever caught
Walter Nowak was one of the sew
eral crooks who have been able to
fool the people of Gary for the reason
that the town is new and a mans rep
utation by which people may be guild
ed in their estimate of a stranger is
not known.
Nowak was always aggressive and
at one time was as big as any toad
in the puddle. Gary stood for him in
spite Of his coarseness and crudities.
At the republican love feast when it
was generally known that Nowak, a
married man. had been arrested for his
improper relations with the Becker
girl, his brazenness was shown by the
persistency with which he forced the
attention of the entire assemblage up
on himself and what he was doing as
one of the leading republicans
1t was a question of either standing
for him on that occasion or throwing
him out Of the window and as the
management of the Binzenhof did not
want to clean up the walk afterwards
and he was tolerated
For some time Nowak has owned an
interest in a team of horses for which
he and w. S. Ross paid $3.50. Mr.. Ross
bought carriage at a cost of several
hundred dollars and Nowak frequently
used the rig.
Yesterday he sold the outfit to T. ].
Gormely for 500. He owed Mr..
Gormley $40 and received the $50 for
the team. Ross is $50 loser He re-
Gently gave W. ]. McAleer a check for
$50 which he found to be worthless
and now he has left the country with
out making a settlement with the
Becker girl to whom he gave a note
for $500.
NJ. Mcbride, Gary saloon keeper
| went as surety on the note and will
have to pay it and it is understood that
there are several other amounts that
are due various people in Gary all OF
whom have given up hope of getting
anything out of him.
The prevailing opinion is that he
has gone to Canada, but he is guilty
of an extraditable offense and it is
understood that McAleer and Mcbride
will make an effort to locate him and
bring him to justice

RECITAL IS A SUCCESS
Whiting Folk Enjoy Fine
Entertainment Given for
Athletic Association.

Whiting. Ind. April 23.-(SpeciaL)-
The recital at the high school as
sembly hall for the benefit of the High
School Athletic Association Tuesday
evening was an achievement which re-
fleets great credit upon Miss Ella C.
Klose, soprano, and Miss Margaret V.
Lyttle, reader, two rising young stu
dents of Valparaiso University.
In the success of the affair Prof.
Mathie Of South Chicago and the high
school orchestra also contributed, the
program consisting of two parts, eahc
containing nine members. The ap-
plause after each was generous.
1T was a Lover and His Lass" was
perhaps the most heartily applauded.
In this Miss Hoses voice was heard
to exceptional advantage the rendition
being altogether artistic.
Miss Lyttles spontaneity is delight
full. Her charming moods of petulance
anger, chagrin, jealousy, playfulness
and affection are as swift as the flashes
of a searchlight on a dark night
Each reading was consistent and rem
dered with true dramatic strength
and sincerity that convinced.
The reading For Dear Old Yale" by
John T. Long and the musical recita-
ton, Aux Italiens," by Lord BullveI
Lytton were perhaps were perhaps the
two best numbers and in both, the
audience was spellbound by a delight
full actuality, but the Unexpected
Guests by Margaret Cameron, drew
more hearty laughs from the audience
than any other reading.
The brilliant work done by bott
young ladies coused enthusiastic ap.
plause that stretched the time of the
program to unexpected length The
success attained BODIES we'll for future
! efforts.
The only regret to be offered is that
the attendance was not larger but Il
proved unfortunate that there were sc
many functions on Tuesday night.

SPECTACULAR FIRE
IN GARY YESTERDAY.

One of the most peculiar fires that
has yet occurred in Gary destroyed
seven box cars on a side track of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad in that city
yesterday at one o'clock, and. might
have destroyed 40 others If it had not
been quickly discovered.
1t is believed the cars were set on
fire by buns who may have been using
the empties as a place to sleep. There
was a high wind blowing and the
flames spread rapidly from one car to
another.
AS Gary is without the necessary
equipment for the purpose of fighting
fires a switch engine was hastily sent
to the scene and the cars which had
not yet become ignited were taken
away from the others
In this manner most of the cars
were saved from destruction but it is
estimated that the loss will be in the
neighborhood of $4,000 as it is.
1t is generally believed that had the
fire occurred at night the destruction
of property would have been great

TROUBLE

show cause why he was practicing med
icine without a license,
DR.. Reiss with w. j. MacAleer. his
attorny, went to Indianapolis and e,o-
planned to the board that he did not
understand he could not practice on his
old license, according to a report in an
indianapolis, and he asked to be per-
mftted to retire without letting the
people in the settlement know that his
license had been revoked.
He explained that he was not com
PEELED to practice medicine, that he
could live without it and said that his
son expected soon to take the examina-
ton for a license in Indiana after which
he would be willing to turn his practice
over to him. Under the circumstances
IL is understood that he will be per-
mitted to continue to practice for a
brief period of time.
| DR.. Reiss told the board that he was
a graduate from the college of Vienna
and in order to enter college he had
studied Latin and Greek for eight years.
w j. McAleer, attorney also made ii
clear that his client was able to speak
ten different languages fuentIy.
Attorney W. j. McAleer was seen this
morning regarding the matter and
stated that his client, DR.. Reiss, had
been granted a license and now has the
privilege of practicing Indemnity.
Mr.. McAleer said Reiss formerly
practiced medicine in Elkhart where
he was given a license after showing
his Vienna diploma and other creden-
tials. He then went to Chicago where
he was in the employ of the health
7 department under civil service. osTT
While Reiss was in Elkhart and his
diploma was in the clerks office the
court house burned down and in this
manner he lost the only evidence he
had of the fact that he had graduated
from Vienna.
This complicated matters and for this
reason 1T was necessary for the doctor
to take the examination again. Attor.
ney McAleer says that he passed it all
right and is now able to practice here
as long as he cares to.
The whole trouble was caused bv the
fact that the law which was enacted
in 1907 provided that unless old licenses
were renewed within 90 days after the
law became effective it would be nee,
essary for the physician to be examined
before he would be readmitted to the
practice.
1t is understood that DR.. Oscar Refss
will go to Oklahoma, near East Chi
icago to practice and that his father
Herman, will remain at the Standard
settlement indefinitely
