CHICAGO AND WESTERN INDIANA
CONSIDERS PLANS FOR NEW DEPOT

A definite step toward the erection of
new depot for the Chicago and West
ern Indiana Railroad, which now has
it's terminal at Polk street. was taken
yesterday at the annual meeting of the
board of directors. A committee with
President William ]. Henley at its
head was appointed with instructions
to go over the entire situation and
make a report with recommendations
The roads composing the company are:
Erie. Grand Trunk, Wabash, Eastern
Illinois and Monon. The Santa Fe Is
a tenant.
No date was set for the report which
the committee is to make, but it is un-
derstood that the investigation is to
be prosecuted with vigor and hat the
committee will be ready with recon-
mendations within two or three months.
Upon the report of the committee del
ponds the action of the company with
reference to new or additional ter
minals.
The new depot project was thorough
ly discussed. and it was definitely de-
cided that something would have to
de done soon toward either building a
new depot or charging and improving
the present terminal facilities. General
| opinion Of the directors seem to be in
| favor of an entirely new terminal
which, together with the land, would
cost possibly $2o,oo0.O0O.
Has Enough Property.
| The company has secured all the
property it needs, having strips of land
on both sides Of the depot and extend
| ing to and below Twelfth street. There
are three projects under consideration
by the committee.
The first plan is to erect a new ant
modern terminal upon the present site

Didn't Report.

It was reported in Gary yesterday
that all of the employees of the pat
tern department in the steel mills were
discharged yesterday for failure to re-
port for work on Decoration day The
men reported yesterday morning and
were told that their services were no
longer required. There are about twelve
men employed in this department.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1909-06-02

The second project is to enlarge the
present terminal facilities blu the cree
ton of a suburban passenger station by
the side of the Polk street depot and to
renovate and repair the present station.
This plan is regarded as a makeshift
which Nigh become necessary through
the unfavorable condition of the money
market. The third plan is to erect
new passenger terminal at Twelfth
street, abandoning the present depot.
The directors desire to use two eleva-
lions in the new terminal. If possible,
the ground level for the passenger
trains and second and higher level
for freight traffic, completely segre-
eating the two classes of traffic.
If this plan should be followed it
will be impossible to come north of
Twelft street. 1t is also thought that,
as the hotel section of Michigan ave-
nue. is shifting toward Twelfth street
this might be a better location than
Polk street.
1t developed during the meeting that
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois road
which is one of the tenants legally of
! Chicago and Western Indiana, is will
ing to return to the terminals of that
company should they be rebuilt and
made worthy the name of terminals.
The Eastern IllinoisN abandoned the
Polk street station, and secured a
short term lease of facilities in the La
! Sale station on account of the lack of
facilities in the former terminal. This
company still pays its part of the
bond interest obligation of the Western
Indiana, but refuses to pay as a ten
ant. The matter is now in the courts
to determine the legal status of the
Eastern Illinois. The Willingness OF
the road to return to the fold makes the
new depot project an assured fact

WILL ASK WABASH TO
CLOSE BIG DITCH
Opening of Paralleling Right
of Way and Ninth
Ave. a Menace.
IS NEARLY u FEET DEEP
Party Drives Down Steep Embark
ment on Dark Night and All
Are More or Less Injured.

The town board of Gary will take
steps at once to induce the Wabash
railroad to fill in the ditch along their
right of way, between the tracks and
Mint havenue. which parallels the Wa
bash tracks. The embankment at the
side Of Mint havenue, which is a mar
row street, is considered dangerous
and a menace to life and property. The
ditch is about twelve feet deep at places
and a buggy falling down the incline
would smash to pieces.
1t is not believed that it will be pos
sible to force the company to fill up this
embankment along the ditch. but it is
believed that the company can be in
duced to do SO, not only because of its
danger but because Of the unsightH-
ness. Failing upon this, however, the
board intends to put a fence Of guard
rails along the edge of the street to
protect the teams and buggies from
| falling into the ditch.
People Were Injured.
The only serious accident that has
been reported so far because of the
ditch is when party composed of Har-
| ley McCarty and number of other men
drove from one Of the cross streets and
down over the embankment on a dark
| night before they knew that they had
| reached Ninth avenue. All of them
were bruised or slightly injured, but
/ fortunately no one was hurt seriously.
The Wabash railroad Will also be re-
| quested to construct a crossing at Madi-
son street, where considerable traffic
| now passes The street has been paved
| for over year, but the crossing has
never been put in by the railroad.

STATISTICS SOUGHT
ON WOOL INDUSTRY
ii. Stanley Coffin Receives Telegram
From Washington Asking For Data
For Tariff Debate.

II. Stanley Coffin received a tele-
gram Tuesday from Washington, d.
c.. from Secretary Walker of the Ma
tional association of Woolgrowers,
asking statistics regarding the sheep
and wool industry II. this state. He
wanted to know the number of peo-
pie employed, the wages paid, the
weight of the wool clip and data as
to the number of sheep on the ranges.
He added in his telegram that this in
formation is vital for his purposes and
should be sent at once. Mr.. Walker
and number of others are at WASH
ington in connection with the tariff re-
vision debate. Mr.. Coffin forwarded
the information last night. The wool
clip Of Yakima, Kittitas and Benton
counties alone is approximately 1,5OO,-
900 pounds annually and while these
are the largest wool growing sections
of the state they do not grow more
than a third of the total wool of
Washington. The industry, therefore,
will be seen to be very important in
this section of the Union.

,MABT0N TURNS DOWN
LIGHT FRANCHISE
Council Thinks That the Valley Power
Company Is Asking Altogether
Too Much.

Because the town council of Mabton
thought the Yakima Valley Power
company was asking altogether too
much in it's franchise to furnish the
town light and power, that body, fol-
lowing the advice Of Attorney Ward
H. Wheeler of this city, unanim ously
rejected the franchise. The members
of the council say they want to be
fair, and If the Power company will
present a reasonable franchise it will
be adopted.
Many objections were advanced to
the franchise as proposed. One was
that, although not so worded as to be
exclusive, it would work out practic-
ally as an exclusive franchise, for it
would permit the company to erect
their wires and poles in such a man
ner that no other company could get
In.
Rate Clause Is Dislikcd.
The maximum and minimum rate
clause was also another stumbling
block, and the charge of IS for a de-
post to have the light turned on, and
81 charge to have the light turned off
were Objectionable. No penalty at
tached if the company did not fur
nish light according to contract. The
company could also run its lines
through the cemetery and the public
parks and the city would have nothing
to say. The city also wants the right
to inspect the meters and see that the
people are getting what they are pay
ing for. The franchise called for a 90
year term and the council thought
too long.
Other competing companies are ex-
pected to apply for a franchise at
Mabton soon, and a reasonable COM
promise is expected.

and is benefit to the whole COM
munity. Prof. Lancaster will point
out to manufacturers and others the
advantage of building roads to the
highways and giving them to the state
and to the farmers the benefits of
proper highways.
Mr.. Mccormick knows what he is
talking about when he confers on good
roads. Seven years ago he came
across the Rockies with a team of
burros which he afterwards sold in
this city to DR.. George Sloan. From
here he continued his journey over
the Cascades.

Another testimonial regarding
Washington apples from London.
In letter to j. d. Monroe. secretary
of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce
j. S. Redmayne, M. A., representing
the Kingsgate House, London, of the
British Columbia Development asso-
citation, limited, says that the photo
graphs recently sent him representing
the apple industry of eastern Wash
ington are creating a considerable
stir in London and other parts Of
England. he adds:
people on this side have no idea
as to the perfection of this industry
or the so-called dry belt as these
pictures talk"
Mr.. Redmayne also says that he and
others are keenly interested in what
is being done in the Yakima, Wenat-
chez, Walla Walla and Spokane val
leys, also in other points in Washing
ton, Idaho, Oregon and Montana, as
well as southern British Columbia and
adds:
Efforts to Educate Retailers.
II am trying to educate the con-
sentative English retail dealers on
this side as to the superiority of boxed
apples over the fruit squashed into
barrels. to which they have so long
been accustomed. Once this can be
done a big market on this side is GER
tain.
There is no reason why every good
cooking apple should not be put up in
boxes, as well as the superior eating
varieties. Anything TO get rid of the
barrels. The English grocer sells al
most as many apples as the .fruiterer
in towns, but the grocer at present
never has any boxed apples-only bar
rels. He is the man we must get at
for trade purposes"

STRAHORN is PUZZLE
Has Master Minds at Sea While he
Continues to Spend
Millions.

SPOKANE, Wash, April 19.-Rob-
ert E. Strahorn of Spokane, formerly
a resident of Boston, is the sphinx of
the state of Washington, and the
North Coast Railway company, of
which he is president, is declared by
officials of transcontinental lines to be
the enigma of the transportation stu
alton in the Pacific Northwest. Every
body is guessing and in the meantime
Mr.. Strahorn is active in construction
work on a line between Spokane and
Puget sound. Seven hundred miles of
line has been surveyed, and there are
trusted agents at various points acquir-
ing ground for right-of-way and ter
minals.
More than $1.000,00O has already
been expended in Spokane for ter
minal ground and site. while purchas-
es in other parts of the state run the
figures up to 100000, but as yet
no one can definitely say who is back
of the project. Some of the line will
cost 100000 a mile. Part of this Is
through the Palouse river canyon,
southwest of Spokane. Eighty miles
of roadbed has been constructed west
of this city.
All Alike to Strahorn.

B|GiCR0PS IN
HORSE HEAVEN
one OBJECT OF new COMPANY
Another Is DO Protect Interests of
Land Owners When KliclNtat Ditch
Is Extended There.

For the purpose of advancing the
interests of all concerned in raising
larger crops of wheat on the dry land
of the Horse Heaven plateau, and es-
peeially for the purpose of being pre-
pared to protect their interests when
the big Klickitat ditch is extended
down into that country, the land own
ers down there are organizing an i'm
mense company. E. d. Mineah of
Prosser, the president of the company
base been in North Yakima for sew
eral days looking after its interests
in this section.
Although only one-tenth of the land
owners on the plateau have been seen
a total of $4,000 acres have already
been pledged. Each share of stock is
worth $25, and is taken at the rate of
one share for every quarter section
unit. The stock is worcestershire and
non-taxable. Some of the heaviest
land owners south of Prosser have al
ready signed up for their entire hold
ings.
Preparing for the Big Canal.
While there are many mutual in
terests that will be advanced by this
organization, the main object Is to be
prepared for the opening of the big
canal of the Klickitat Irrigation and
Power company. One survey for this
canal was made in 1905, but another
route is now being laid out which II
is believed will be much more FEAST
,ble. This ditch is to secure its sup
ply from the upper Klickitat river,
about II miles from Mt. Adams, and
1t is estimated that it will water SO
townships, or about S77,s00 acres.
Three of these townships are in Yaki-
ma county, 20 in Klickitat county and
Is in Benton county.
