Gary, Ind, Jan. 81, 1903.
Editor, The Gary Evening Times:
Your editorial of Monday last was very
timely. Yet you must make liberal al
lowance for Homer J. Cars vocifera-
tions. as his yelpings are only the
echoes of his masters voice. AS you
doubtless know, the Gary Tribune is
owned by the Indiana Steel company
and Carr is their hired man, who only
does as he is ordered, and can do
neither less nor more, not being able
to exercise Independent actions or
opinions unless agreeable TO those out
lined for him
The Steel company wants a superior
court of their own. but the people must
remember that when 1t comes to Gary
that they have only taxpaying in
terest in 1t (the privilege they will en-
joy in bringing 1t here), while the
Judge will be owned by the Steel COM
pany, outright. Now, IL Hammond, or
Crown Point, or Indiana Harbor was
selected the danger would be lessened
in this being the case. The rawlings of
the Gary Tribune is manifest They
have done more harm than good TO
Gary's development; they have con
doned the purchasing of foreign votes
at the last election; they have gloated
over the greedy monopolistic manner
of the steel company. their owner; they
have and are now lighting to disrupt
the labor unions in Gary in a very
subtle and underhanded way You can
afford Cars brainstorms. due to an
exaggerated ego and cerebral vacuum

The Walrus' pefenses.

A full-grown walrus will weigh as
much as 1000 pounds; a mountainous
mass of muscle and bluhber, says the
ST. Nicholas. He is armed with tusks
of ivory, sometimes two feet in length,
and when from his upreared bulk
these formidable weapons are plunged
downward upon an enemy, they are
as resistless as the drop of a guillo-
tine. Such a thick layer of blubber
lies under the skin that he is practic-
ally clad in an armor impervious to
teeth and claws alike. So, unless the
bear is greatly favored by luck, he
has little chance to overthrow his
antagonist

STORE ON THE FIRST FLOOR
Especial TO TIE TINES

East Chicago. Ind, Jan. 2S-East
Chicago business property was given
an impetus yesterday when Ike Specter
broke ground for a handsome brick
store and fat building to be erected on
his Chicago avenue property. The erec-
ton of the Specter building may he
attributed directly to the moving of the
postofice to the site chosen by Albert
Given. as the new building will be al
most directly across the street from
the Given structure.
Mr.. Specter last evening declared
that the building would be so CON
structed that the lower floor would be
used for store purposes. the dimen-
sions to be 5ox70 feet, while on the
second floor eight room flats, modern
in every particular, would be arranged.
The store sections have already been
negotiated for, Frank J. Ault, who al
present is an occupant of the Specter
building on Olcott avenue, promising to
assume half of the main floor for his
barber shop and baths.
Is an Eastward Movement.
The outward appearance of the build
ings now being erected on business
streets of Indiana Harbor and East
Chicago White pressed brick and
fronts and massive pillars will COM
plete the design.
Mr.. Specter's move is but the begin
ming of an eastward movement in
building" said prominent real estate
man last evening. There is no doubt
that the majority of business build
ing during the next few years will bt
confined entirely to property between
Olcott avenue and the Oklahoma dis
trict, and it will not be long before
Chicago avenue will present almost {
solid line of business houses"
While business conditions have beer
somewhat depressed during the pas
year there is no doubt that the predic
ton is a worthy one and that som,
day, the fancy may come true. Mr.
Specter is to be commended, however
on taking the initiative and assisting
in the opening of the east end for bust
ness purpose.
