Offers a Bic Reward

The Hammond police have received a
notice of a reward of $500 for the
capture of either or all of three men
who are alleged to have robbed the
Nova Scotia bank of Rainy River. On
tario. on July 2.
This reward is one of the largest that
have recently been offered for an Of
feps of the kind. and an interesting
fact is that the reward is for the ar
rest and not for the arrest and con-
viction of the men.
The three men are Wladyslav Sly
mansky, Andreas SANDER and Woclaw
Winicki. They are said to be desperate
men and carry automatic revolvers.
They got away with $1,000 in Nova
Scotia money.

Will Not Advance the Price
of Coal Until After
Oct. /.

Did you buy your coal this summer
in order to lay in a supply for the
winter If you did you are in luck
for coal has gone up 25 cents ton
in Chicago and you will be stung to
the extent of several dollars if you
procrastinated.
But the worst is yet to come. A
further increase is looked for before
the 1st of October. The reason for the
expected increase is the prospect of a
car shortage.
Mine operators, who during the sum-
mer have seen their stocks increase and
prices become demoralized are eagerly
awaiting the first indication Of car
shortage as a reason, or excuse for
boosting quotations. Dealers have post
poned laying in stocks unusually late,
and the miners are anticipating a de-
mand great enough to have the way
for higher prices.
Some of the larger retail dealers yes
terday made no secret of their inten-
ton 10 advance the price Of soft coal
25 cents on Sept. /. All dealers adj
mitted that the usual 10-cent advance
on anthracite from $7.65 to 1915 a ton
N0Uiu tdht tIttl sept l.
If the higher price threat for Sep
TENDER is carried out general. Pocahon-
tas coal, now selling at $3.50 to 81
ton, will retail at 1915 to $425; do
nestle coal. selling at $3.50 to $3.50.
will be quoted at 1915 to $475: and
steam coal. now So to $3.50 will be
S2.75 to s4.75.
Some of the local coal dealers say
that they will not make an increase
in the price Sept 1. as is the custom,
but Will wait until along about the
first of October There will be no i'm
mediate advance here, according to To-
cal dealers.

Where is state Line street?

Where Is state Line street?
That is the question that is bother
ing the people of Hammond, Ind. and
West Hammond. Ill 1t is generally
believed that State Line street is a
thoroughfare running along the Indf-
ana-Illinois state line and. being so
feet wide. has 80 feet of its width in
Indiana and 80 in Illinois.
However. this is not the case. and in
view OF the fact that there is now a
line for the opening and improving of
this street from Plummer avenue. on
the north, to the Ridge road at Nuns
te, on the south, it may be necessary
to have the legislatures of the two
states establish the location of the
street
The trouble is not in locating the
state line. that is easy There is a
monument on the shore of Lake Michf-
gan marking the exact location of the
line at that point and there are stones
buried at each of the points where
the section lines intersect with the
state line, but the trouble is with the
surveys.
An Important Matter.
Parenthetically, the Importance of
this question lies in the fact that there
is strong sentiment on both sides
of the line for the opening and inn
proving of the state line throughout
its entire length.
At the present time State Line street
that is, that portion of the street
that is now lad out. extends from sib-
ley street on the north, to the Little
Calumet river, on the south. 1t is now
proposed to open the street through
from State street and Plummer ave
nue. and extend it to the Ridge road at
Munster.
This would give Hammond and West
Hammond an interstate boulevard. ex-
tending from the heart of the Ham
mond business center to the town of
Munster. on the south. and would af-
ford access to the populous territory
on the Ridge road This road made
wide enough and properly improved
would become one of the best-known
thoroughfares in the state. 1t might
we'll be called Interstate boulevard.
Surveys Cause Trouble.
But getting back to the original
proposition. the surveys of land in In
diana and Illinois were made without
any regard to the state line. So far
as the surveyors were concerned they
did not care whether there was a state
line or not
They began laying out the section
lines at the principal meridians. The
surveyor in Illinois started at the first
or second principal meridian. or what
ever one It happened to be, and began
laying out the sections, one after an
other, as he progressed in an easterly

ton, Mich. is at hand. 1t is an octave
volume of 1900 pages, in BREWER
type, but by slight increase in the
width and height of the printed mat

reduction in the leading, but with
out using as mailer face of type,
each page carries one-third more
matter than formerly, and the new
edition with 1900 pages, contains
one-half more matter than the pre-
ceding editions, which had 1928
pages.
The principal chapter of the book,
devoted to detailed descriptions of
the copper mines of the globe has
1885 pages, describing no less than
6767 copper mines and copper COM
panies in all parts of the world. COM

The price of the copper handbook
is So, in a strong green buckram

the purchaser preparing carriags
charges and allowing the purchaser

the fact that it has been followed

the publisher, without recorded con-
tradiction, to enjoy the largest cir

Monies Are
NotPrOperIy
Withheld

Considerable dissatisfaction has
been expressed by a number on
school districts in White Pine, Elko,'
Lander and Eureka counties relative
to the manner in which the recent
apportionment of school money was
made by Special Deputy Superinten-
dent Bray at Carson.
There are ten school districts in
these mentioned counties which did
not show the recognized number OF
children on the census list and which
were not recognized in the last dis
tribution of school moneys. Deputy
Superintendent Lightfoot of this city
claims the districts were cut off with
out legal reasons, and has united
with Deputy G. E. Anderson of Elko
county in an effort to bring about a
correction. The districts that are az
fected in this county are Bull Creek
and Steptoe, neither showing five
Children on the census list.
sThis matter will be taken up at
a meeting of the Deputy School Sup
~erintendents of the state at Carson
next week" said Mr.. Lightfoot yes
terday. "Mr. Anderson and myself
contend that the districts should re-
ceive their share of the school money.
We expect to bring a test case in Elko
county against the auditor and treas
urer, requiring them to take from the
appointments of other districts the
amounts to which these districts are
entitled"
