catch line for the Hammond Brewing
company, which is now building its
brewer vim West Hammond.

state line.
NJ. c. Herman Of the Hammond Sign
company has finished the first consign-
ment of signs for the new brewery
Since the Hammond Brewing company

The signs that the Hammond Sigr
company has completed thus far are
twenty-eight feet long and are in
tended TO cover the entire front of a
saloon. When a beer sign bends around
the corner a big silver shield will deco
rate the corner. Altogether they are

IT'S LOCATION.
Chicago Car and Equipment
Company Considering Re-
moval to Hammond, and
Takes Up Matter With L
E. Dickinson, Local Agent

1t is understood that the Chicago Car
and Equipment company which has
been negotiating with the firm Of Cost
lin, Meyn & Co. for site in Hammond.
has also taken up the matter with I. e.
Dickinson, the local industrial agent Of
the Michigan Central railroad, regard
ing the securing of a location in West
Hammond at Calumet Park.
Representative Joyce of the company
interviewed Mr.. Dickinson yesterday
and said that he would probably re-
turn today to talk over the matter with
him further.
The location which Mr. Dickinson
pointed out and which seemed to meet
with the approval of Mr.. Joyce was
the old site OF the plant where cattle
guards were manufactured.
The Chicago Car and Equipment CO..
is a concern similar 10 the A c. Tor
bet Co. and the Fitz-Hugh Luther Co.
in Hammond and the Ryan Car Co. OF
Hegewisch. 1t is said that the company
will employ in the neighborhood of 500
men.
In the event that the company locates
| in either Hammond or Calumet park.
| it will be a great help to this city. and
! is expected to become one of the best
Of its small industries.
! It is understood that the company
! has received offers of sites from cities
/ all over this locality Chicago Heights,
/ Kankakee and a number of other cit
les are bidding for the concern. Ham
mond. however. is looked upon as by
far the best location Of those that have
been offered so far.

LOWELL.

Our merchants and the town board
of Lowell have combined and are
spreading crude oil on our streets that
run through the center Of town. For
the last two or three years there has
been no street sprinkler IN Loweli and
the dust that blew from the streets into
the business houses and residences be-
came a source Of great nuisance and
almost inteferable. and to allav the
dust the spreading Of the crude OH was
adopted and it is thought TO be great
success.

BURNHAM.

Our cheese box interurban depot has
been taken away on a fat car to be
replaced by concrete and brick build

be heated and lighted by electricity, and
will have two large arc lamps outside.

ing will be surmounted by large gid
ed dome class all right.
Judge Hunter was in Gary on busi-
ness again yesterday. 1t is said that
the judge is looking for Leon Ling.
The board of trustees intend to do all
in their power to have the interurban
live up to their franchise and stop all
trains at Burnham. It is to be hoped
that this can be brought about as
walk from Hegewisch has small induce
ments for a cripple, especially in wet
weather. The trains are all supposed
to stop at Burnham, but some of them
don't even hesitate, and when person
waits an hour for car and the car
goes right by him and then toots the
whistle at him, he cannot be blamed for
cusstng.
The Eastern Star of Hegewisch gave
a launch party Thursday night, which
was attended by about seventy five peo-
pie of Hegewisch and Burnham. The
party went up the river to Riverdale,
where they danced for while and then
returned by way of South Chicago. At
! South Chicago they tried to pass
/ through a bridge al the same time that
/ a scow was going through and got
! jammed between the scow and the pier
/ of the bridge, causing great excite
ment among the ladies. The party re-
/ turned at about 2:30 a. m. and report
! a good time. Those present from Burn
ham were: Mr. and Mrs. Rein Rau. Mr..
and Mrs. william Furman. Mr.. and Mrs.

Some wap discovered an airshiI
lowering over Burnham in the wee
small hours today and described it a:
having two large lamps like eyes and G
whistle like an automobile horn. Some
people think 1t to be some person who
has gone up looking for the revised
tariff and others think it was a Jap

explanation Is that it was an owl ant
that the discoverer is in the habit o

DR.. Houk and wife had a funny ex-
perience en- Thursday afternoon while
making a trip to Valparaiso in an au-
tomobile and for a time the doctor
thought that he was lost in a strange
wood. 1t was during the wind and rain
storm and Houk was driving at a pret-
ty good pace, when all of q sudden he
saw confronting him a green and solid
bank of leaves which, to the best of
his receIleetions, was never seen on
that particular spot before. Upon tn
vestigation the automobile party found
the obstacle to be large willow tree
that had been blown down into the
middle of the road, during the storm.
The occupants of the machine had to
turn wood choppers for a time in order
to clear the road, and ended the days
trip by thanking their lucky stars that
