CANAL A GOOD THING
Men Behind Waterway Are
Very Enthusiastic Over
the Project.

Great interest is being taken in the
movement to place Lake county on the
route of the proposed canal from Lake
Michigan to Lake Erie and men who
are giving the project much thought
are enthused over the plan as it is
now being weaved out
AS the plan is now the canal would
start at Dune Park on Lake Michigan
east of Gary, running in a southeastern
ly course. touching Chesterton on the
north. 1t would cross the Kankakee
river and take a northeasterly route
to South Bend, connecting with the St.
Joseph river, striking Elkhart, then
down Pigeon river, across to Fort
Wayne and almost east through Toledo,
o., to Lake Erie.
In the matter of a canal from Chi
cago to the Mississippi river the state
of Illinois has appropriated $4,000
600. 1t is proposed to follow the Chi
cago drainage canal to the Illinois river
and to the Mississippi, making a navi-
gable waterway to Chicago. A project
is also under way in the east to con-
meet with New York via the Hudson
river. The Lake Erie and Lake Michi-
gan canal would give navigable wa
terway from New York to the Missis-

Lake County is forging to the front
as the greatest industrial district in
Indiana. Already there are more than
Calumet region, in a district closely
compact and practically one city, than
there are in the city of indianapolis, and
they are getting more than half as
much money each week for their serv-
ices.
When 1T is known that Indianapolis
is the largest Industrial center in In
diana and that its population Is esti-
mated to be 175,O0O, while the popuIa-
ton of the Calumet region is bat 5O,-
900; the fact that there are $4,000 men
receiving 100000 weekly here, while
there are but 10000 men receiving but
s550,OOO in Indianapolis, is significant.
We can hardly believe our eyes when
we look at the figures. Here is Gary
leading the list of Lake county cities
with 5000 men who are receiving 1885,
600 weekly, and the only other cities
which are in her class, excepting In
dfanapOIis, are South Bend, Terre
Haute, Fort Wayne, Evansville. East
Chicago and Hammond.
East Chicago Booming.
And then there is that little indus
trial giant East Chicago. which, of
course, includes Indiana Harbor Not
over eight years old, Indiana Harbor is
veritable hive of industry and to-
gether with East Chicago it employees
more men than such cities as Rich
mond, Anderson and vincennes, to say
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1909-01-08

nothing of such cities as Logansport.
Goshen and AIishawauka
But if there is an inspiration in the
figures which the industrial report
shows. the fact that the people of Lake
county have but begun most marvel
Gus growth. while many of the cities, in
which statistics are given, are old
settled communities with no expecta-
ton of more than a normal growth.
According to the figures of the state
bureau of statistics, Lake county has
increased its manufacturing 1000 per
cent. The following reports from other
cities in Indiana give an idea of the
progress there and make comparisons
with Lake county possible:
Shows - Per Cent. Increase.
Despite the Industrial depression that
affected the state early in the year and
the uncertainty over the presidential
election the year of 1905 has seen a
substantial increase in the number of
Indiana industries and the organiza-
ton of manufacturing concerns. Fig
ures compiled by the Indiana Bureau
of Statistics show the amount of money
is greater by nearly one-fourth than it
was in 1905.
Complete figures for the year 1908
can not be obtained as yet, but it is
known that the number of factories in
Indiana is now in excess of $500, and
the total amount of money invested in
manufacturing concerns is $500, 100000.
The annual value of Indiana's factory
products is in excess of sS94,165,ss
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1909-01-08

and the amount paid out annually to
wage earners is In excess of STATS, 900.
There appears through the AFFILIATED
industrial and commercial organize
tons to be a more concerted movement
toward locating new factories in this
state. Manufacturers are coming more
and more to seek locations where land
is inexpensive, raw material easily
available. shipping facilities adequate,
local labor ample and the best induce
ments offered. Scores of Indiana towns
are connected with principal markets
by steam and electric lines. Some have
the additional advantage of being sit
uated on navigable river or a stream
capable of furnishing water power.
Conditions Down State.
indianapolis has gained thirty man
ufacturing plants in the last year. The
city now has more than 1000 factories,
making all kinds of products. Over
$4,000 men and 5000 women are en-
ployed in the factories, and the esti-
mated weekly pay roll amounts to
$55O.oO0.
The various industries of South Bend
afford employment now for $4,000 men
and 1000 women. The pay roll amounts
to 100000 annually or $780, 900
weekly.
Fort Wayne, the county seat of Allen
county and the third largest city in the
state has grown at such a rate that
it has come to be one Of the great man
ufacturing cities in the central states.
At the present time, in or near the city,
there are 240 factories, making 1876 ar
ticles. the most important Of which are
carriages, buggies. wagons. electrical
apparatus, castings, engines, steam
boilers. gas engines, bar iron, road ma
chinery, gas works machinery, brass
castings, lumber. hoops, handles. pull
legs, sash and doors, furniture, wind
mills. washing machines. veneer prod
ucts, organs, pianos, gloves and nit
tens, shirt waists, knit goods, cigars.
soap and powder, ice, ice cream, con-
fectionery crackers, meat paclxings and
similar articles The factories are now
employing 1924 men and $40 women
and have an estimated weekly pay roll
Of $S9,191.
Through its business mems organiza-
tons Evansville has obtained 275 fac
tories, including twenty-one furniture
factories. eight foundries, eight brush
and broom factories, eight box factories
and eight agricultural implement man
ufacturing concerns. The Evansville
concerns employ in all $500 men, on a
weekly pay roll of $4,000.
Terre Haute's factories now number
more than 200, and embrace nearly
every branch of manufacturing. In
round numbers, $500 men and $500
women are now employed in the fac
tories, on an estimated combined week
ly pay roll Of s125. 600. Terre Haute
has grown until it now has more than
1000 business houses and ~ 900 dwell
ings, the growth of the city having al
most doubled since 1900. In the last
nine years the Commercial club has
spent $225,000 in locating factories.
Commercial Clubs Count.
Richmond has grown until it has 125
factories. The Quaker City's'' fac
tory investments now amount to 81
100000, and tho annual output amounts
to $27,G00,000. Six thousand persons
are employed in the factories of Rich
mond, on an average weekly pay roll
of $4,000. During the last year
eighty-three buildings were erected in
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1909-01-08

Richmond at a cost of s250,3e
Vincennes is more fortunate than
some of her sister cities in having or
CARNATIONS behind the movement to To-
cate factories. The board of trade and
the Merchants and Manufacturers as
ISOLATION Of Vincennes have been ac-
tice In that city's interests, and the in
dustries employ 1880 people, and pay
them $4,000 a week.
There has been a substantial in
crease in manufacturing at Misha-
wauka, where 3,700 men are now en-
ployed, together with 500 women. The
average weekly pay roll amounts to
$50, 600. The combined industries of
Lafayette now give employment to g.
500 men and 500 women, with a weekly
pay roll of $4,000
The industries of Anderson employ
5000 persons. on an average weekly
pay roll of 100000. Anderson has had
a remarkable growth during the last
year. The Commercial club is an ag-
gressiye body, and works with a fac
tory fund behind it amounting to
s5s, 900.
The Commercial club of Muncie is one
of the most active organizations of It's
kind in the state. There are more
than 100 different manufacturing plants
there. employing 7,O25 men and 975
women. The combined wages each
week amounts to $4,000
The Pennsylvania shops at Logans-
port, together with factories producing
gasoline engines for motor cars, gray
iron castings. radiators. handles, blank
books. cigars, soap, employ 1000 men
and 100 women in that city, with a
weekly pay roll Of $4,000

sippi and the route through Chester
ton would be forty miles shorter than
any other route and could be con-
structed at much less cost.
thing to be taken in consideration
is the water supply for lockage 1t
would be necessary to construct sew
eral locks and no other route would
afford the water supply as that through
northern Indiana.
The Kankakee district, the ST. Jo-
seph river drainage area and farther
east the head waters of rivers in north
west Ohio would give sufficient water
supply for reservoirs and in the higher
attitudes east of the ordinary flow of
streams, and in the flood season the
water could be confined in reservoirs,
making a storage in which the whole
country would get the benefit.
Through northern Indiana, in a line
between Indiana and Michigan there
are inumerable small lakes which would
afford places better than any other sec
ton for these reservoirs. The proposed
route through Chesterton would have
the advantage of all drainage and is
more in harmony with a complete wa
terway as proposed from the Atlantic
to the Mississippi river.
There would be no special difficulty
in construction of such a canal, as the
soil is of such character and free from
rock as to make excavation easy and
would mean an immense saving of cost
and time and in constructing reser-
voirs and locks. The Lake Michigan
and Lake Erie project is the first to
be considered in the appropriation for
surveys and for general study and
working out of plans.

NEW YORK, Dec. lin the January

absolutely dominates the beet sugar It
makes the market prices of sugar, dis
tributes the territory, and completely
controls tariff legislation.
THE Utah-Idaho Sugar Company and
the Amalgamated Sugar Company are
the two greatest Mormon beet sugar
concerns. They have a total capitaliza-
ton Of nearly 1900 actually issued.
Each is controlled by the Mormon in

heavily i'm the stocks OF the Amalgamat-
ed. It was, in fact, 2 party 10
