CUDAHY
COMING To
CALUMET

Another industry for the Calumet re-
gion.
Encouraged by the return of good
times, the Cudahy Packing company,
through It's board Of directors, has made
an appropriation amounting to half a
million dollars for a by-product plant
to be located just east of Grasseli and
north of the Grand Calumet river. The
specific acreage which the Cudahy com
pany has secured for this plant are
40 acres. located in the southwest
quarter or the southwest quarter in
section IS, of Calumet township. From
tire may il appears at once that the
corporation in this location has a site
with water frontage, and abutting on
two belt railroads. the Indiana Harbor
and the Chicago Terminal.
The first and main product to be
manufactured in the plant is the widely
advertised serubbing powder, Dutch
Cleanser" and later all other by
products,
OnyI BEGINNING of Big Industry.
1t does not require 40 acres to To-
cate 100000 plant and it is only
reasonable to surmise that the COM
pany has plans of a much larger scale
for the future. There has been no Of
fetal announcement of the company's
plans nor Of the purchase of the site
and the news only comes to Hammond
upon the return of f. Richard Schaaf,
who came in touch with in Chicago
real estate circles.
The property was bought from the
East Chicago company and the re-
port to some extent bear out THE
TINES report from East Chicago that
some big deals and developments in the
East Chicago's properties were i'm
minent.

DEMOCRATS SEEM PLEASED
At ]. |. ROHDE'S SELECTION

The appointment of John L. Rhode,
former president Of the board of pub
lie works, to the craftsmanship of the
democratic city central committee
seemingly has met with uniform ap-
prevail among the democrats. While an
opinion crops out here and there that
he was permitted to pluck one Of the
biggest pIpms on the democratic tree.
the presidency Of the board of public
works. and that by his Craftsmanship of
the city central committee he is in line
again for additional favors which ought
to be bestowed somewhere else, his
ability is not questioned in any quar-
ter.
Comments Are Complimentary.
Among the few statements taken at
random this morning, there was none,
however that gave vent to the opinion
that Mr.. Rhode should have kept his
hands off in order to let the benefits
go somewhere else.
Speaking the selection, Judge W. w.
Mcmahon, one of the big democrats of
the county and always a factor in city
politics. said:
John Rhodes appointment could not
be improved upon He IS thoroughly
capable and fair and honest"
Walter Hammond, councilman of the
ninth ward and at one time mentioned

as a candidate for city treasurer, said
of John l. Rhode:
Mr. Rhode Is a man of high execu
tive ability. not only, he can originate
more successful schemes than anybody
else I know Of"
John Kane. councilman at-large and
a democratic pillar, in a terse remark
gave his view of the man. saying:
The best man I know of for the
place
Rhode Through the specs 'of Ibach.
Attorney Joseph Ibach. another
prominent democrat. probably gave the
best definition of John L, Rhode.
I was pleased to learn" he said,
that John had been selected, for 1
think he is the man for the place. Ny
reason for saying that is John combines
within himself all the desirable quail
ties of a chairman. He is an old resi-
dent of Hammond and knows every par
~ worker. He is not only a thorough
organizer but knows how to get eff
fective work out of every worker. He
is resourceful and has the happy fac
ulty of smoothing over difficulties that
are bound TO arise. His sauve manner
Is characteristic
These are only a few of the favor
able statements that have been heard
about Mr.. Rhode.

That the Monon railroad will event
ually be lakes to-the-guif line
through its afhliation with the Lou
isvile & Nashville railroad, became
apparent from a dispatch from Evans
Vile, which states that this road has
secured entrance to that city.
1t is understood that the Monon
will enter Evansville over the South
ern railroads tracks from French Lick
Springs. Ind. Little construction work
minaI at Evansville.
The completion of this branch will
mean two things for Hammond. First
it will mean that Hammond will have
a direct route to New Orleans with
innumerable southern connections, and
secondly. it Will mean that the Monon
line. through Hammond, will be the
main artery of traffic through which
will be drawn all of the north and
south bound Chicago traffic to and
from Cincinnati on the east, Louis
Vile TO the south and from New Or
leans and all intermediate points, in
Guiding Evansville. in the southwest
ern portion of Indiana.
Must Double Track.
The fact has become generally recog-
nized that the Monon railroad will
have to double track its line through
Hammond. It's right of way is plenty
wide enough. and the traffic between
its South Hammond yards and its Chi
cago terminal is now SO great as to de-
mand double track.
In fact. it is realized now that the
road made bad blunder in putting
in a single track bascuIe bridge over
the Calumet river in this city, instead
of double one. This is especially
true now that the road has estab-
lished important connections that will
enable it o tap the gulf territory.
The dispatch from Evansville has the
following To say about the invasion of
that city by the Monon:
For four years H Human, whole
sale grocer of Terre Haute, Ind, has
been acquiring in small parcels the
three blocks Of property at Main and
Division streets. At first it was
thought that Mr Human was acting
for John R. Walsh. After the Chicago
bankers failure HUMAN continued to
buy. however,, and on a scale which
showed to judicious observers here that
he was acting as an agent and not for
himself. Now it develops the HUI

Theaters being luxury. the Indley
Stock company, like all others the
aters. suffered through the panic sea-
son. but not near so heavy as others.
for in the south the Dudley Stock COM
pany is recognized to be as good as
they make them. Furthermore Mr..
Dudley always travels his circuit with
the newest and most popular plays,
despite the higher royalty that must
be paid for the privilege of presenting
the plays.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Dudley have been
offered hattering salaries in Chicago If
they would abandon the circuit and
play in Chicago permanently. Mr.. Dud-
ley. however, prefers to manage his
own company and divide the profits
between his wife and himself, instead
Of giving the biggest portion to the

panies.

WINS 2:35 TROT
With McGirr at the Ribbons
Hammond Horse Gets
$500 Prize.

Sister-i n-Law. the FLY owned by W.
]. MacAIeer and Giles Warner, won the
2:95 trot at Laporte yesterday in handy
fashion and enriched her owners to the
extent of $500. As this was the first
race that she was ever started in the
owners are very much pleased with the
showing that she made.
The track was extremely heavy and
in places was ankle deep in mud. This
accounts for the fact that the time was
only 2:291a. The Hammond horse was
driven by Vernon Cir.
There were six other horses in the
race and Sfster-in-Law won all three
of the heats. One of the horses she
defeated was Appreciate. which came
in second in the race at Detroit with
her time, 12:21a.
Defeats Appreciate.
The race resulted as follows: Sister
in-Law first, Appreciate second, Frank
Lewis third, and Billy NJ fourth. Sis

The coming of the Monon is held to
mean a break between the Louisville &

Of a new alliance between the L. & N.

alliance foreshadows a continuous lake
