MAY RAISE THEIR TAXES
State Board Will Inspect
Railroads of Northern
Indiana.
TIMES BUREAU
At THE STATE CAPITAL.

"A
Indianapolis. Oct 2T.-The railroads
which enter Gary. Hammond Indiana
Harbor and East Chicago. may not get
off so easily in the matter of taxation
another year as they have IN the past.
The state board Of taxation Is plan
ming a tour Of inspection Of the prop
critics Of the railroads in the north
ern part or the state especially in
the vicinity Of the cities named. with
view to sizing them up and determ
ing on their assessa bic valuation
The inspection Will not be general
as the members Of the tax board are
satisfied with the returns made by tile
roads for taxation. throughout the
state at large However, they are OF
the opinion that where property val
ues are increasing so rapidly as they
are in the northern Indiana manufac-
turing towns. that the railroad prop
critics must be spondingly in
creasing. hence the proposed tour OF
inspection.
Gary has ben especially dissatisfied
with the proportion of taxation as
sessed against the railroads running
through that city. complaining that Il
the railroads were made TO pay theil
share Of the taxes, that the rate charg
ed the small property owners would
be very much less than is the case a.
present Much disappointment was ex-
/ pressed over the last valuation Of these
properties by the state board.

GAS FAMrNE IN OGDEN.

OGDEN, Dec. 22.--Numerous COM
plants are being heard on all sides
because of the shortage of gas in the
city. During the summer the gas COM
pany carried on a vigorous campaign
to secure additional consumers and
many improvements were made in the
old mains and numerous extensions
were run into new districts. The gas
company increased It's business a hun
dred-fold by various advertising meth
ods and many people were induced TO
do away With their old coal ranges and
install gas appliances. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the old gas plant
was being operated to capacity and
that the outgo was fast becoming
larger than the supply, comparatively
no definite move was made to build
new plant until the cold season.
when material and labor are least
available. Agents of the company are
now endeavoring to induce consumers
TO shut off their use OF gas and as the
coal supply is extremely limited. this is
causing considerable trouble In many
quarters. In the commercial district
gas has been adopted quite freely as
a heating medium and many Offices
and other places Will have to provide
other means of heat. The company
promise new plant by the first of
March and in the meantime, during tho
coldcst part of the year. q great many
residents will be under the necessity
of purchasing stoves.

FALL OF
ICE IN OGDEN CANYON
Many Narrow Escapes From Dcstruc-
tive Avalanche In Scenic Water
fall-Tranic Blocked.

OGDEN. Dec. 2e.-An avalanche of
Ice weighing thousands of tons. formed
by the artificial waterfall at the mouth
OF ogden canyon. dropped from the
ovcrhanglng cliffs shortly after 3 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon. completely demol-
tshing the railway bridge OF the Ogden
Rapid Transit company and the steel
wagon bridge on the county road at
that point. The river was filed with
great masses of ice and rock and tho
great concrete abutments of the railway
bridge were shattered into fragments
Traffic OF all kinds has been blocked
and IL Is not likely that Ii will be re-
sumed Tor fully T. week. A street car
carrying dozen passengers WAS only
short distance cast OF the slide and
The passengers and crew had a very
narrow escape from certain death. The
car and passengers will have to remain
In the canyon until the road and track
have been cleared. Numerous parties
OF Christmas shoppers from Ogden val
ley drove to and fro on the bridge dur
ing the afternoon, and IL Is very fortu-
nate that nobody was Injured The en-
tire side of the mountain was COM
pletely covered with Ice caused by the
water and spray blowing in all drec-
tons on the cliffs and the sight was a
beautiful one. Hundreds of people have
ridden tn the mouth OF the canyon dur
ing the past few days to see the great
masses of ice and little thought was
given TO the danger of the situation
The strong east wind which has been
blowing down the canyon helped to
loosen the ice and the immense weight
toppled over into the canyon.
The slide, coming at this time. is
most lnopportune. as hundreds of peo-
pie from various parts OF the valley arc
in Ogden doing Christmas shopping.
and they Will be unable to get home
In time for the holidays as there is
no other road passalblc at this time
OF the year into the valley 1t is
thought that n foot bridge can be con-
structed within a few days which |
might serve for emergency purposes.
but as the canyon at this point is very |
narrow and rugged. this Will be ex-
tremely dangerous.
As soon SIS word OF the slide was re-
ceiycd at the sheriff's office. several |
deputies were sent to the canyon TO
warn travellers and to see if anything |
could be done TO lessen the damage. |
The exact amount of damage cannot
be learned but 1t Is thought that it
viii total about $4,000.
