trains out of Gary on both roads were
packed and the business was greater
than they had ever dreamed of.
The Pennsylvania lines sold most of
their tickets to Pittsburg. Four hun
bred Gary people went to the Pitts
burg district for Christmas, this being
accounted for because many of the steel
workers in the local mills are from that
locality.
The Wabash, which has a western
division, probably sold tickets to g
larger number of states than any other
line. People went over this road to cit
les in Indiana, Ohio Pennsylvania

GARY CLOSE:
Election of Delegates on
Friday to District Con-
vention at Hammond
Will Mean Another Open
ing in Democratic Rift.

The embers of Gary democracy,
which have been slowly smolderinR
since after the Gary municipal cleo
tion, promise to blaze to a white heat
during the next few days, when on
Friday night next delegates from
Calumet township will be selected to
go to Hammond on Jan. to select a
chairman for the tenth district
There will be four delegates selected
from Calumet township. three from
Gary and one from the township az
large. The selection of delegates is
governed by the total number of votes
cast for the governor at the last elec-
ton, one delegate being selected for
every zoo democratic otes cast.
The meetings will be held in Rogers
hall, 91S Broadway. for the Gary dele.
gates. and at Frank Borman's grocery
store at Tolleston for the township
delegate.
All the political strategy and wire
pulling which marked the municipal
election in November win be brought
into play at Rogers hall next Friday
night
OF course it is a well-known fact
that Gary democracy is split in twain
and there will be a warm fight for SUI
premacy in Gary. The attitude of the
Crolius faction during the municipal
election and their close intimacy with
Edward Simon of Hammond, who is q
candidate for the tenth district chair
manship, is repugnant to the Knots
democrats and they will use all their
efforts to defeat the Crolius faction and
send solid delegation to defeat ST.
mon for the Craftsmanship.

In the Erie railroad wreck, a bag

Mr.. Durkce was induced to como 10
Salt Lake City some time ago for the
purpose of experimenting with the slack
Goals of Utah. and extensive lnyeStlga-
tions have convinced him that the Utah
and Wyoming Goals present an ideal
working basis for the manufacture of

is one of the most prominent coal OPP
orators in Kansas. Missouri, Oklahoma
and Arkansas. and for the past three
years he has been at the head of the
briauctte business, with headquarters at
Kansas City. 1t is the intention of the
new company to acquire extensive coal
land interests IN tho west, having al
ready purchased ono mino and 800 acres
of coal near the city.

that it has been demonstrated 10 bo n
pronounced success.
One member Of the company stated
Saturday:
"Our product is simply made, but
powerful equipment is necessary. The
waste or slack coal is crushed as tinc
as possible. and mixed with a small per
centage of binder that tends 10 hold
the mass together. 1t is then cooked
under great steam heat and pressed
into moulds. which will weigh one pound

of this fuel are that there is no waste,
it makes no cinders, it viii not clink,
there is less smoke. more heat, and less
waste than in the ordinary run of fuel.
In other words, we complete the task
left unfinished by nature in making q

become a strong factor in the business
of tho state. We expect TO
