should not be in the nature of a sur
prise to people who are familiar with
the magnitude of affairs at that won
derful place The company has pur-
chased 100 acres of land and is having
plans drawn for a new plant. The land
purchased is twice the extent of that
occupied by the largest of the com
panys plants and when fully occupied
the plant will give employment to
from 1900 to $1,000 men, The land
adjoins that of the new plant of the
United States Steel corporation. The
site at Gary, twenty-four miles from
Chicago, was selected in order to pro-
vide for the territory where the largest
numbe of railroads converge to a
single Commercial center. The Chica-
go district is a great railroad center
and the district is developing rapidly
in manufacturing Importance, which
makes it favorable as a location for
securing material for building locomo-
tives. The company now operates

WO0DMEN TO ORGANIZE
Large Enough Number in
Gary to Create Perma-
nent Lodge.

An attempt will be made in the near
future by several of the leading Wood
men of Gary to organize a permanent
lodge. There are a large number of
the order living in the city, and they
have been urged by the officers and
organizers throughout the state to get
busy and form an organization.
DR.. c. A. belong, who is one of
the most active members in this city,
will send out notices shortly of a meet
ing, which will be held in one of the
public halls, in which they are to or
ganize. The meeting will be entertained
by d. G. Batey one of the oldest mem
bers of the organizers, who will lecture
on 'Fraternalism" and what it means
TO be a Modern Woodman.
1t is thought there are enough mem
bers Of the organization in Gary to
make splendid lodge, and at their
first meeting they will probably take
some steps TO perfect a local camp.

HOW'S Your Tea?

Tea has always been con-
sidered the greatest friend of
the man of letters. It rend-
ers literary work more easy
and pleasant. Tea was John
sons only stimulant. He
drank it at all times and I'M
der all circumstances, in bed
and out, with his friends and
alone. But this great writer
no doubt was particular to
get good tea, and in this con-
nection your attention is
called to the fact that J. E.
Brennan, No. 148 South Hob
man street, has a selected
Japan Tea that is ideal. The
writer does not think there is
a more satisfactory tea at
any price. This tea is very
strong and a little goes far.
The price is 30 cents per
pound. It would be good
value at 80.

lance of five miles from shore. Mr.
Brewster has prepared charts and blue
prints showing the results of his in
vestigations and lantern slides have
been made from these charts. Mr.
Brewster will also tell the commission

Coal Business

What causes a business to
grow wider out and extend?
What causes trade to de-
velope year by year, from a
small beginning?
What causes the number vi
customers and patrons to
grow in both city and coun-
try? ?
What makes friends for a
business and causes one
friend to say a good word to
his neighbors and acquaint-
ances?
These things come from
square and honorable deal
ings, and a business conduct
ed on these lines will win
every time. The days of the
grasping dealer are num-
bered.
The coal business is most ex-
acting, and to both prosper
and please requires special
ability and qualities.

WILL BUILD A NEW
STREET At HARBOR
Pedestrians Will Have to
Wade Through Sand
no Longer.
INCREASES PROPERTY VALUES
One Highway Will Be Abandoned for
a better 0ne-New Route to
Depots Will Be Shorter.
Especial to THE TrMEs.)

Indiana Harbor. Ind. Jan. 2s.-If
plans of the city council do not fail
of elimination. residents of Indiana
Harbor will not have to trudge YEARLY
through sand ankle-deep in getting to
and from the Lake Shore depot The
news should be welcomed with glad
ness by residents of this city whose
complaints against the disgraceful con-
dition of the sidewalks in that section
of the city have been frequent and nu-
merous.
The council now proposes to create
a new street, running from the present
intersection of Michigan avenue and
the c., l. S. & E. tracks to the very
door of the l. S. & NJ. S. and C. L & S.
union depot This will necessitate
however. the vacation of Regent street
which intersects Michigan avenue
block farther north and which runs to
the depot and while the vacation will
cause considerable confusion in trans
fer records property holders appear to
be satisfied with the change. Those
owning property on Regent street
viii lbe given equally valuable lots on
the new highway.
To use the sidewalk route to the
depot at present necessitates a walk
OF about two blocks on Michigan ave-
nue. and as much more on Regent street
and the sidewalks are not in the best
of condition. The new route will be
much shorter and will follow the pres
ent line of the c., L. S. & z. right-of-
way to the south end of the depot The
plans of the council include the chang
ing, or swerving, of the c.. L. S. & E.
tracks to ground parallel and adjoining
that used by the B. & o.. and Lake
Shore roads. practically covering the
present Regent street site.
Increases Other Property Values.
The proposed change will also have
the effect of increasing property values
on Waiting street. waiting street will
meet the new street at a point about
seventy-ive feet north of the Kroupa
hotel. Mr.. Kroupa at present owns a
plot of ground adjoining his building,
facing thirty feet on Waiting street
and sixty feet on the alley, the diver
sity of measurements being caused by
teh diagonal railway. With this out of
the way. Mr.. Kroupa will be granted
an additional forty-one foot frontage
on Waiting street. squaring his prop
erty and giving him corner site sew
enty-one feet by ninety feet to the al
ley, on which the present pumping
station is located. Other property
owners along Michigan avenue and Re
gent street will be also awarded ad-
ditional concessions, relative in value
to the damages they may have to stand
in the vacation of proper alleys and
crossings The plats and explanations
are now in the hands of the street
and alley committee of the council and
will be given final consideration at the
regular meeting on next Monday even
ing.

SITE AT CORNER OF

Garage Man Has Agency for Cadil-
lac Machines Which He Has
Handled Successful for Three
Years-Big Machine and Repair
Shop In Connection.

Gary Is to have an up-to-date auto
mobile garage and livery for sure.
Yesterday c. VI. Baker of Crown Point,
who has been looking for suitable
location for a garage, was In Gary and
purchased three lots of the Gary Land
company on the corner of Washington
and Eighth avenue.
Mr. Baker, in an interview with a
TIMES man, stated that he would begin
the erection at once of a two-story
brick building which would cover the
whole building space of his holdings.
The whole floor space will not be utiliz-
ed as a garage. but two store-rooms
fronting on Washington street will be
for rent The entire rear part of the
building will be used as machine shop
and storage room for automobiles. On
the second floor there will be offices
and flats.
A Good Location
Mr. Baker thinks he has selected the
best location in the city for his gar
age. 1t IS not only centrally located
in the business district but holds many
other advantages over other locations.
1t is just short distance from any
of the railroad stations. Mr.. Baker has
been in the automobile business for the
past three years at Crown Point and
has had much practical experience in
that line. He has the agency for the
Cadillac automobile, Rambler automo-
bile and has lately secured the agency
for noted French car which he will
offer for sale. Last year throughout
the county Mr.. Baker disposed of more
than ten Cadillac cars.
In connection with the automobile liv-
cry Mr.. Baker will engage the services
of two expert repairmen, who will un-
doubtedly be kept busy in keeping in
repair the machines that fall by the
wayside in Gary.
1t will only be a matter of a short
time until Mr. Baker will build up g
big trade in Gary, as he is a hustler anC
the deman dior automobiles by those
who flock to Gary in the spring un-
doubtedly keeps many machines busy.

and the committee was anthorized
TO ask for bids on furnishing screen

and, to be erected by private con-
tractors who are to operate the
screen and deliver three grades OF
clean screened gravel at an uniform
minimum price that will make II pos
sible TO use this material on n large
scale on the suburban streets.
Minto brothers Favorable.
Under the grant OF Hon. John
Minto the city has certain rights TO
take gravel from the Island, but thoy
are not well defined. and the com
mittee was OF the opinion that n
strict construction OF the grant
would not permit the city TO take
gravel except for work done by the
city itself. which would be limited 10

the city. Their lawyer hold differ

In the business sections. Under this

He thought under such specifications
East Court street and North Summer
street could be improved at once. Mr..
Stolz, chairman OF the street COM
mittee, said the new specifications
wonid be procured at once. New
signers have been secured for Inn
provement OF South Commercial

a half wide on each side OF the car
line, the cost OF that street at SO per

and. many would favor the clean and

the lighter specifications.
Laslcd Park Board.
There was n severe strain put on
the relations between the city and the
park board by a report from two OF
the Aldermen TO the effect that the
park board was not enforcing the city
laws In the matter OF stopping per-
sons from cutting down trees. This
was explained by re city attorney,
who was appealed TO, by stating that
the park board had authority TO grant
permits TO cut down unslghtly trees
and allow people to plantsmaller and
prettler ones In their stead. Mr..
Keyes made II plain that this prac-
tice was legitimate. and tends TO beau
tify the city. Complaint was also
made at the telephone company set
ting poles and cutting out the tops OF
trees, mutilating others. and. as Mr..
expressed II. soon our beau
tiful ci ~ would resmble French
Prairie. The park board were cited
TO appear before the city council next
Monday night and see whether they
should not be impeached and removed
for malfeasance OF ofiice, and have
their official heads cut on.
