FIRM CLOSES
ANOTHER BIG
DEAL IN DIRT

Following their evident policy of
loading up on Hammond real estate
with the expectation of large increase
in values in the spring and great ac-
tivity in the market, Gostlyn. Meyn &
Co. have just a deal for the purchase of
thirty lots, scstetred about town, for
consideration of $4,000.
The lots purchased consist of the
residue of the estates of George Ger
ZACH and Frederick Hoffman in this
city. In the Gerloch estate there was
los fet on State street, this side of CAL
umet avenue. house and lot at the
corner of Indiana avenue and Jesse
streets and some Sohl street lots.
From the Hoffman estate there was
purchased a number of lots in Mes
senger's addition. Gostlin. Meyn &
Co. also sold twenty-seven Of the lots
belonging to the Hoffman estate, To-
Gated in West Hammond. to West
Hammond parties.
This is in accordance with the policy
OF most real estate dealers to buy IN
the fall and winter months and sell in
the spring. Considering the other
recent purchases that have been made
by this company and the other prop
erty they control. the company Will
have its own property for sale in every
section of the city.

is highly probable judging from the
big meeting at the Foresters' hall last
night and the amount of enthusiasm
displayed by nearly a hundred inter-
ested citizens. The sentiment was pre-
ponderously in favor of incorporation
and there seems nothing in the way
now to stop or prevent the realization
of a project which is many years old
and which at one time was defeated
by only one vote.
SO decided was the sentiment in IA

about a vote on the question by Feb

SCHOOL WILL

Board Of Education Now on
Lookout for a Centrally
Located Site.

The board of education of the
Hammond public schools is now look
ing for the site upon which $780,
900 manual training school will be
erected within year
The fact that the city Of Ham
mond is to have a manual training
high school that will be second to
none in this part Of the state, will be
of great interest to this community.
The fact has long been recognized
that the present high school build
ing is inadequate for the high school
work. The building is SO crowded
that it has been necessary for the
superintendent to secure quarters for
his office outside of the building.
It is now proposed to retain the pres
ent building for grade work and build
a magnificent structure that will be
devoted exclusively to high school
work
LOOK TO SIBLEY STREET.
The location of the new building,
which will be one of-the show struc-
termined 1t is understood, however,
that It will be given a prominent loca-
tion and that it will be given enough
ground TO make it attractive The city
beautiful idea will be kept in mind
in making the improvement.
From present indications the build
ng will be located as near the center
of population OF the city as possible
As the center OF population of Ham
mon is somewhere near the intersection
of sibley street and Oakley avenue, il
is possible that the building will bt
put in this vicinity.
The excellent transportation facili-
tes that will be offered by the Ham.
mond Whiting & East Chicago line, tn,

& Chicago traction line is a strong
point in favor OF this location.

the progress OF the construction work.
We hope to establish connection be-
tween Hammond and Gary before the

Mr.. Gavit continued.
The delay of the iron poles ordered
for Sibley street Is the only thing that
has caused delay in the completion of
the road in Hammond. as the track is
down two miles east from the business
district The iron poles are on their
way to Hammond and as soon as they
arrive the overhead work can be fin
ished. .
Traffic for s. s. Car Plant.
The biggest demand in Hammond is
for transportation to the Standard
Steel Car works, but there remains
nothing 10 give this excepting the erec-
ton of the overhead work
The east and west track ends are
about Ave miles apart. two miles Of
steel having been laid from Tollestor
westward The grading for the bed
however, is practically completed and
with the exception Of Sibley street II

True to the predictions of the wealth

west was given relief from the in
tense heat that has caused much suf-
fering, and done great damage during
the last three days. Under ordinary
conditions a temperature Of 96 de-

day, would be considered hot, but as
compared with the temperature Of 11O

The change in the temperature

WILL DETERMINE
COUNTY SEAT TODAY
Nowata Needs Only to Secure Little
More Than one-Third Of Vote to
Retain County Seat.

Nowata, Okla, Aug. 18.--The county
seat election between Delaware and
this city is being held today, and the
oil districts will be the controlling
factor in the selection of perman-
ent county seat of government. Della
ware is situated in the exact center
of the county, Nowata six miles fur
ther south. Nowata has been a sta
ton since 1889, and became a city in
1905, getting under the wire In the
federal census of 1907, with a few
less than $500, Delaware at that time
having less than $50 people. Della
ware is surrounded by oil wells and
now claims population of ! 400, with
Lenapah, six miles further north, with
a total population Of 1900. Nowata
claims $500 population, and is conced-
ed the oil city has at least $500.
West and northwest Of this city are
the famed Hogshooter gas fields, the
greatest in the world; this side of the
gas fields being new oil field that
surrounds the city, save little south
ern strip, with oil and gas, while be-
tween this city and Wann, the north
west corner city on the line Of the
NJ, X. & 7. railroad, are the grazing
lands of the fullblood Cherokees.
So rapid has been the growth OF the
county no one knows its population
nor political complexion. South Cof-
feyville, up on the Kansas line, is an
other growing city of the county, and
has never previously been consider
ed in county affairs. Between it and
Lenapan is place known as Goose
creek, where black freedmen of the
Cherokee Indians have their allot-
ments, and the population is dense.
What the blacks will do in the county
seat contest is problematical, al
thought in the past their votes have
favored Nowata.
Delaware must have two-thirds OF
tie votes cast under the law, as the
time for a majority vote removal elaps-
ed last May.
