has secured the right to practically ev-
cry street of Importance in Whiting
for period of fifty years.
, Castleman has two and a half
years in which to begin building his
line and then had a proviso attached
which. in the opinion Of Mayor Smith,
grants him an indefinite extension Of
time beyond the thirty months pc
riod.
What Franchise Means.
8 The passing of the franchise lit
orally may kick the Hammond, Whiting
& East Chicago line out of town. This
will cut whiting off from East Chi
cago and Hammond. with only one
chance in a hundred that Castleman
will give the people Of Whiting the
promised connection with Indiana Har-
Dor and Gary.
A. Castleman promises, and the Whit
ing council swallowed the promise
without ever blinking an eve to build
line into Chicago. To men who know
anything about the difficulty Of secur-
ing a franchise in Chicago this prom
Use is a huge joke.
>. Castleman would have the people
of Whiting believe that the $4,000
bond he puts up is a guarantee that he
will build his line. Editor Farr fell
for the game. the Whiting council
men pretended to fall for it in spite
of being informed TO the contrary.
What Bond Means.
g. The facts are that Morris n
| Casfleman of Gary is merely puttine
up a $4,000 bond that he will save the
| city harmless in the event any one is
injured during the period of the con

PEARL FISHERS WILL
Be FEATURE OF FAIR
NATIVES OF J0Lo ISLANDS TO
SHOW SKILL
At MISUNDERSTANDING Exposition
Moros Will Transform Oyster
Shells Into Useful and Or
namentaI Objects

From the pearl fisheries of the Jolo
islands is derived an important addi-
ton to the worlds supply of pearl shell,
and a considerable number of pearls
proper The industry is carried on
chiefly by Moro divers and fishermen,
and the results of their laborS are pur-
chased and marketed by Chinese and
their foreign dealers. The work OF the
pearl fishermen is often hazardous
undertaking, and during the dreaded
typhoon season the loss of life among
the pearling fleet is large.
A decided change in the management
of the industry has been accomplished
since American occupation, and now
the individual fisherman is able to
realize much better results from his
exertions than in former days, when his
valuable finds became the property OF
his "datto" whose collection was only
too frequently made through the use OF
arms. The native diver carries on MS
work with crude apparatus and makes
astonishing descents without the aid
of diving suit or helmet His craft is
the swift sailing "prao" of the Moro
group. and it's extremely sharp and mar
row hull with it's widely extended out
ringers and lateen sails forms pic
turesque figure among marine craft.
In cleaning and preparing the pearl
shell for market, pearls are found IN
considerable number. These vary in
value as gems, but the larger part are
of small commercial worth; frequently,
however, valuable specimens are met
with. and the Jolo fisheries have con-
tributed a number of the very finest
and highly priced gems known.
The beautiful inner coating OF the
pearl oyster shell with its opalesent ana
rainbow tints lends itself to the manu-
featuring of a vast variety of useful
and ornamental articles, and enters
largely into the art compositions of the
Orient. The great market for pearl
shell has been, and is still, certain coun-
tries of Europe, where the manufacture
of pearl articles has been carried on for
many years. Little if any use of the
material was made in the philippines
until the past five years, when COM
rlete and modern institution was in
Stalled for making and disposing OF
pearl products. The process of pre-
pairing and manufacture is one calling
for skilled and artistic efforts, and is an
operation of unusual interest ana 1as-
cination to the spectator.
In the Philippines display at the
Alaska Yukon-P Pacific exposition to be
opened in Seattle the pearl shell manu-
featuring industry of Manila will offer
a wonderful exhibit, showing the entire
process employed, from the taking of
the oyster to the finishing of the most
beautiful articles of art and usefulness.
Jolo "praos," manned by Moro fisher
men, will form a picturesque feature
among the pleasure craft of Lake
Union, and will give a barbaric beauty
never seen outside the blue waters of
the southern Malay archipelago.
