OLD LANDMARK TO GO
Bradwell's Island to be Used
as a Turning Basin For
Big Ships.

BradwelIs island, the famous land
mark located at the foot of Ninety
fourth street in the Calumet river,
will soon be wiped off the map and
will no longer be recognized as one
of South Chicago's landmarks.
For the last three months g. A..
Trip, secretary of the Iroquois Iron
&c Steel company, has been engaged In
taxing subscriptions for the purpose of
dredging Off the island and yesterday
Mr.. Trip announced that he had near
ly $500 on hand which had been sub
scribed and that he had successfully
negotiated with the owner for the pur-
chase of the property. The object of
dredging the island is to furnish a
turning basin in the Calumet river
which will accommodate any of the
large ships that are now plying the
great lakes.
Recently, when the Thomas Barlow.
large grain freighter, arrived in
South Chicago to load her cargo. the
captain was compelled to steam out
INTO Lake Michigan in order to turn
around, that her rear end might e
loaded. With BradwelPs island wiped
on the navigation map, it will elm
mate this trouble, which will be of
much assistance to the harbor and
river interests
Martin Hausler, the present owner
OF Bradwelps tract, has submitted
deeds of the property to the federal
authorities, which will be approved as
soon as the title has been found per
feet. If the title is found to be per
feet bids will be advertised for and
the contract for dredging Will be
awarded. With few exceptions the
river interests were the largest sub
scribers on the list
The island was formerly owned by
Judge Bradwell, who recently sold the
property to Martin Hausler.
The island is an irregular penta eon
shape with the following dimensions.
440x350 and 295x110x60. When dredg
ed out the island will make turning
basin with a diameter of over roo feet.
1t is expected that the deal will be
put through within the next two weeks
and that the contract viii be awarded
before the end of this month

Nickel Plate Employee Hurt.

Tony Borucki. and employee of the
Nickel Plate road was severely injured
yesterday while at work in their yards
at Grand Crossing. Borucki was max
ing a coupling between two cars when
the engine unexpectedly backed up,
knocking him under the cars. The man
was badly bruised about the shoulders
and legs. After the accident he was
removed to his home. 1911 Stony Island
avenue. But for the presence of mind
of one of the employees in giving the
engineer a signal to stop, when the
coupling was made, beyond a doubt
Borucki would have been ground to
pieces under the wheels.

Would Lessen Public "snaps.~

One New York politician, of long ex-
perience and careful observation, sug-
gests a method of greatly reducing the
number of applicants for public ONCE
He says: Make an Office real hard
work, with nothing of sinecure about
it, and get entirely rid of the idea OF
'spoils' and 'plums,' with conditions
that will impress every ofhce-holder
with the wholesome idea that he is a
public servant, and In no sense mas
ter or dictator"

Water, water everywhere. but the fire
burns merrily.
Chicago had unique blaze yester-
day. but the fire engine and hook and
ladder departments could not lend as

Chicago, came to the rescue.
The flames attacked the government
pier. which extended east off Seventy
ninth street for about half a mile and
then south with one or two breaks to
Ninety-ifth street
The tug Swenie steamed out to ex-
tinguish the blaze.

RAIL MILL HAS
RUN ALL The Time

During the time when all corpora
tions were closing down their shops
during the financial stringency," the
rail mill number 1 of the Illinois Steel
company was not closed down, only
two weeks in February, which were for
repairs.
All other departments in this huge
plant were closed for indefinite periods
on account of lack of orders, but not
once did the number / rail mill shut
down for the lack of orders.
Between six hundred to seven hundred
men were kept on the payroll as the
result of this mill not closing down
while running all the while it did not
run full force all the time
Only when a rush order sent, did the
mill run full force

A Question.

Somebody has figured out that the
average boy who is dependent upon
his parents for livelihood until he
reaches the age of twenty-one years
costs them four thousand dollars. On
this basis of calculation brood. for
instance, of six boys would represent
an outlay of twenty-four thousand
dollars by the time they go away
from the home roost. The question
arises, does it pay to raise boys and
are there no other crops that would
prove more profitable? If boy turns
out to be q tobacco iend with q
breath like q turkey buzzard and q
laugh that would make the untutored
donkey feel perfectly at home in his
society and with an untrammeled and
unconquerable desire to avoid work,
it Is safe to say that his parents
might have invested their four thou
sand dollars at q much better advan-
tage. But if the boy grows up to
manhood with the lesson we'll learned
that wealth and success thrive only on
bushes watered by the sweat Of ones
brow. the parents need not begrudge
whatever they have spent on him. for
he will be source of increasing pride
and JOY to cir hearts. and when
they grow old and their hands
tremble and their legs wabble and
their step is slow and fatlering they
have two strong arms to lean upon
and help them over all the rough
places that lie in their twilight path.

Everv Man His Own Doctor.

The average man cannot afford to
employ a physician for every slight
ailment or injury that may occur in
his family, nor can he afford to neg

the scratch of pin has been known
to cause the loss Of limb. Hence
every man must from necessity be his
own doctor for this class of ailments.
