ROAD DRAGGING.
How the Inventor Of the King Drag
Discovered His Method.

discovered his Method.
ID. Ward King OF Maitland. Mo-. in
ventor OF the King method OF road
dragging. has theory which practice
has demonstrated TO be correct. 1t is
that all clay and gumbo roads should
be dragged with light drag after each
rain or wet spell. The drag smooths
down the rough places and fills up the
ruts. When the sun dries up the road
IL leaves roadbed as smooth and per-
feet as city street
The discovery OF this method and the
more important discovery OF Mr.. King
were largely accidental. Years ago he
lived on small but well improved
farm pear Maitland. He was not par
ticularly interested In the good road
movement as n national or state issue
but the four miles OF road from his
farm to Maitland were OF great interest
to him. says the St Louis Globe Demo
crat. The road was of that soft, sticky
red clay that I'm wet weather clings to
the wagon wheels In great Jumps and
dry weather Is as hard as n rock and
almost as injurious to wagon tirer
Passing wagons In wet weather would
dig deep ruts. and when the road dried
up the ruts would remain. At best the
road was very poor. Many times when
wheat was selling at good price and
Mr.. King had many bushels OF 1t the
road would be so bad that he could
not haul it to the market, and when
the road finally became passable the
market would be low again.
structed small, light drag. using two
old tlmbers connected with light strips.
and began to drag the road In front OF
his residence. After each rain he
would run the drag over IT, and when
the sun came out and the road dried
up 1t was I'm perfect condition. When
he began to drag the road many of his
nelghDors told other neighbors that
King was crazy. Others told King
himself that he was crazy. Others
who aid not say anything believed he
was crazy. But the experiments proved
that Kings method was successful,
and he extended his operations until
he was dragging all the road In front
OF his farm. His neighbors took Ii up,
and In n few months the road from his
farm to Maitland was as good as any
In Missouri.
George B. Ellis, secretary OF the state
board Of agriculture, heard OF Mr..
Kings good roads methods and invited
him TO speak at the farmers institute
In his neighborhood. He accepted, and,
being an enthusiast on the subject, he
made several converts. He was en-
gagged for series of lectures and has
turned over his farm to others and Is
devoting all OF his time to preaching
the gospel OF good roads. Good roads
meetings have been held in various
parts of Missouri and hundreds OF con-
verts have been made. After every
rain in Missouri hundreds OF farmers
drag the roads In front OF their farms,
and the number of these volunteer
road workers is increasing every week.

1t was a mistake to think that Carl

Not yet nor soon either
Carl Schumacher is one of the Ham
mond men who believes in the future
of the North Side and yesterday he en-
| tered into five year lease for the Paul
Rose property on the corner of Holman
and anover streets The property is
located on the northwest corner and it
is understood that the consideration is
SIS per month.
The Chicago, Lake Shore and Sount
Bend interurban promises to be a boon
to the North Side property owners and
despite the general depressed condi-
ton, an embryo boom has been start
ed there which has great possibilities
for the future
A Disinterestcd Party.
The interurban is going to do for
the north side of Hammond. what the
South Side elevated did for Chicago"
said a disinterested Hammond man to-
day. Although himself property
owner, he has none that is any of
the additions traversed by the inter
urban. and when he was asked as to
Louis Heintz Judgment for refusing to
sell for $4,000 twenty-five feet beside
the site for the Holman street inter
urban. he said that Mr. Heintz was too
shrewd not to know that the property
was worth more.
What Mr. Heintx Sees.
Mr.. Heintz is a property owner on
the North Side and of course very en-

argument that would appeal to the
prospective home buyer 1t is this:
The interurban puts the mill man of
the Calumet region almost in direct
connection with all the mills from
Hegewisch and Gary enabling him TO
cover the entire region in twenty
minutes.
The North Side promises to become
the residence portion for the factory
people, and with the facilities to COW
er the entire region in twenty min
utes, he might just as well live in the
hub of the Calumet region-Hammond
Big Mills Coming.
That the territory adjacent to the in
teruroan Will receive a new growth in
population, can be taken from the fig
ures that Mr.. Heintz has up his sleeve
about the number of people that the
new industries Gaming into the region
VIII employ. These are his figures for
the prospective industries:
American Locomotive Company %. 900
American Steel and Wire Co.. 3 900
American Bridge Company 2. 600
American Car and Foundry Co 12 0oO
National Tube Company - 5000
Hammond ought to get her share
OF this population" is Mr.. Htinez' com

MYSTERY ABOUT A
STABB|NG AFFRAY
West Hammond Man In
Jured But No One Knows
How It Was Done.
MANY VERSIONS OF AFFAIR
Public Can Take Its Pick of the
Various Stories That Are
Told Today.

John Dosinchanski, who lives at
Douglas and State Line street, had his
wrist badly cut with knife, yester-
day. An artery was severed and sew
eraI tendons were cut. That much n.
known, but how it happened Is a mys-
terry which all of his friends seem to
De doing their best to cover up.
Dosinchanski was hurt late last
night. Hhe was taken to the drug
store of R. o. Ostrowski, in 2s5 State
Line street. telephone message to
the store brought the clerk to the
phone and he, thinking he was talking
to the doctor who attended Dosinchan-
SKI, said that the injured man had been
delirious all night and that he was a
very sick man. He said that he had
pulled off the bandages in his delir-
ium and had lost great deal of blood.
Quarreled With His Wffes
The story the drug clerk told was
that Dosinchanski had quarreled with
his wife over some matter and that his
wife had slashed him over the wrist
with the butcher knife
That sounded interesting, and SO
