minstrel show are at last under way,
and meeting Of the all-star cast. in
cluding some thirty-five people, will be
held this evening.
Tie matter of presenting the "Ver-
million Crow" which the Elks of L.af-

some time ago, was gone into. but for
3 any reason this production was not
found feasible for Hammond. Principal
among these We're the fact that the
Lafayette Elks demanded a high royal

prepare for a side-splitting minstrel
show for the first half of the evening

7. SWANTON

Work on the construction OF store
houses for the Hammond Glue COM
pany is being rushed, thirty masons be-
ing at work putting up the first of a
number of store houses. The one now
under construction is 200 feet long and
will be one story high.
Improvements in a general way are
going on in and around the plant, all
tending to make it bigger and better
to keep pace with the oncoming pros
perity. Plans are now being consid-
cred for another store house equally as
large as the one now under construc-
tion, and possibly another one. which
will be $50 feet long.
As a matter of economy ten artesiar
wells have been driven TO supply tht

$500,0O0 and Be Famous

The Knots mineral springs at
Porter. which have already acquired
considerable fame through the bsost-
ing of their owner, A. F. Knots, are
to become more famous, in fact so
much as to make this part of the
state known as one of the best wa
tering places in the country.
A strong Chicago syndicate is now
negotiating with A. F. Knots for the
purchase of the property which COM
prises eighty acres, and while he has
not given them an option on the
place an understanding has been
reached by which the consummation
of the deal is almost certain.
COSTLY SANITARIUM.
To such an extent have the plans
progressed that the Chicago syndicate
is now working on plans for SAINT

There are two prime reasons why
the Knots springs are the springs

is that water from the springs is the

IS GIVEN
G. H. Geist of Northern In
diana Gas & Electric Co.
Makes Announcement of
Importance to Consumers
of Electricity in Region.

c. H. Geist. the owner of the North
ern Indiana Gas & Electric company
today announces a fat 10-cent rate for
electricity in all of the cities In which
he operates between the state line and
Michigan City.
As the rate in Hammond has been Is
cents and in Whiting Il cents it Will
be seen that this is a substantial reduc-
tion over what has been charged here
tofore. The rate in Indiana Harbor
and East Chicago will be similar to
that in Hammond, as the electricity for
these cities is supplied from the Ham
mond plant
In explaining the reason fer the re-
duction. Mr. Geist said today. For a
long time we have been working at a
disadvantage in Hammond and the
neighboring cities We have had a
large and sparsely settled territory to
supply with gas and electricity and
there has been very little profit in the
business
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1909-12-01
Has Rosy Future.

Now, however the growth and de-
velopment of this locality is beginning
to make the business profitable. and I
feel that the people of this city and
the neighboring towns should share in
our prosperity. This is a little less
than a % per cent reduction and it
should be appreciated by the consumer.
Il am further of the belief that these
cities of the Calumet district are in
reality one. Whether or not they are
amalgamated I believe, in justice to
the. they should have the same rate
and consequently we have made fiat
rate of 10 cents for the whole district" /"
Mr.. Geist took occasion to deny that
he is back of the Castleman franchise
in Whiting. He said that when he
wants franchise in this district he
will come to the people for it himself,
and he believes they have enough con-
fidence in him to grant him any hon
est franchise that he might seek

WILL TAXI:
Up TRACK
ELEVATION
w. G.. Paxton Announces a
Meeting at Which Topic
of Most Vital Interest to
Hammond Will Be Given
Precedence.

w. G. Paxton, president of the
Hammond Business Mems association.
announces a meeting for the near flu
ture at which the question of track
elevation will be taken up.
In view of the fact that the city of
Hammond is cut up so badly by rail-
roads that IT is impossible to go from
certain sections of the city to others
without serious inconvenience and the
terrible mortality as a result of rail-
road accidents at grade crossings.
makes this question a live one.
Mr.. Paxton does not believe that
track elevation will come in the near
future, but other cities in the state are
working for the enactment of a law
by the state Legislature that will ena-
BILE cities of a certain size to authorize
track elevation, and Mr. Paxton's idea
is that Hammond ought to encourage
the passage of this law.
May FIJI in Gap.
The city of Gary already has track
elevation except in the case of the Wa
bash and Michigan Central railroads.
and track elevation in Chicago has ex-
tended over half way to Hammond. 1t
is therefore the logical thing to look
for track elevation here in the next few
years.
In fact. it is expected that the time
is not very far distant when all of
the railroads between Chicago and Gary
will have to elevate their tracks and
and in this way scores of streets will
be opened.
1t is understood that there will be
propositions submitted for the gather
ing together OF tire tracks which pass
through this city and other matters of
interest regarding railroads.
The meeting promises to be an in
teresting one, and It is possible that
some authority on track elevation will
be secured who viii tell Of the progress
of this movement in Chicago.
