Advance in Price by Gary
Land Company Creates
an Upheaval in Property
Circles; Everybody Wants
to Get in on Ground Floor.
FIRE LIMITS WILL Be
EXTENDED NEXT WEEK
Increase Brings About the Sale of
100000 Worth of Lots-Excava-
tions for Forty Houses VIII Begin
Next Week-Much Building Is Elk
pected for the Spring.

Some of the startling facts in the |
recent boom of Gary real estate which |
have not been given to the public here
tofore are:
That the Gary Land company, during |
the rush just previous to and immedi- |
ately after the raise in the price of
property. has sold over 100000 worth |
of property.
That 1t is believed that business
property on Washington and Massa-
chuetts streets, which has been recently
put back on the market, will be en-
tirely sold by the end of the week.
That the fire limits in the first sub
division were extended yesterday from
the two streets mentioned above to the
alleys beyond, insuring the erection of
first class buildings on both sides of
the two streets.
That next week there will be over
forty excavations made or under way
for residences.
The above is most encouraging rec
ord for those who have invested in the
steel city and for those who are max
ing this place their home. The enor-
nous sale of property by the land com
pany almost verges on a panic among
the people to secure a lot, and day after
day the property agent H. S. Norton,
has been forced to tell the people to
came back the next day that he was
too busy to treat with them The of
fee of the company has been open many
nights until $50 in an effort to ac-
conmodate all who wished to purchase
property.
The property that is being disposed
of consists of both residence and bust
ness property. So fast is the property
being disposed of on Washington and
Massachusetts street that Captain Nor
ton aid that he thought that it might
all be disposed of by the end of this
week This business property is be-
ing purchased by both Gary people and
outsiders who will probably build with
in the next six months The extending
of the fire limits by the Land company
yesterday insures the erection of first
class brick or stone building on both
sides of the two street. This was done
by a paragraph in the contract for the
property which is signed by the pur-
| chaser
| Most of those who purchased resi-
dence- property intend TO build at once
or as soon in the spring as building
| operations open. BY the terms of the

gin building before a year, but they
are all anxious to put up building as
soon as possible. 1t was estimated.
judging from the converse ton of the
property holders with officials of the
land company, that there would be over
forty excavations either started or I'M
der way during next week. This means
that, with an open winter, they will be
rushed through to completion and the
house famine which was threatened for
next spring Will be greatly relieved.
Other houses will be erected as rapidly
as the owners can possibly do so under
the weather conditions.

STOCK COMPANIES PROPOSED
TO BUILD INTERURBAN.

Crown Point, Ind, Jan. 22.-(SpeciaD
There is strong talk of organizing
stock company by several Crown Point
citizens. who see in the proposed Crown
Point Gary Interurban project, with
its free right-of-way and numerous
valuable concessions, a plum ripe for
the picking, and business and money
making proposition that does not need
to go begging for the right party to
carry it through.
The Crown Point men in question are
in earnest and claim that a stock COM
pany, capitalized at $4,000 or 100000
can easily be formed. and the other
necessary funds can be procured by
bonds. Many of the farmers along the
right-of-way have been sounded and
would take stock in the venture and
from the way the situation looms up
at present, 1t appears that if the pro-
motors, who are interested in the deal
and on the ground floor. do not make
a decisive move within the next month,
that capital from Crown Point and the
surrounding country will build the line
to Gary. And it won't be a hot-air
line either.

ASSURED
Of ANOTHER
FACTORY
Deal for New Plant Prac-
tically Closed Up; Women
and Boys Will Be En-
ployed Largely; Employ
ment for Several Hundred.

Another large factory is to be To-
Gated in Gary within the next four or
five weeks. The company is now nego-
tiating for tract of land, and the deal
has reached such stage that it is ex
pected that the steel company will close
up with the company in a short time
The new factory is not, of course,
on the same scale as the American
Bridge company. or the American Loco
motive works, but it will employ sew
eral hundred people. Most of the en-
ployes, 1t is said, will be women and
boys This would lead one to believe
that the new factory is of a nature that
is different from any other which has
been secured for Gary as those up to
this time have bee manufacturers of
steel products.
The location of the new factory can
not be divulged at the present time,
as 1T has not been definitely decided on.
The Land company, it is said, has had
difficulty in choosing a piece of proper
ty for the purpose, as it haste be easy
of access, and in such a place that it
will not cut up a large trace that could
be sold to a larger industry.

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE
WEAK BODIES,
Kidney Diseases Cause Half the Com
mon Aches and Ills of Ham,
mOnd People.

As one weak link wealIens a chain. so
weak kidneys weaken the whole body
and hasten the final breaking down.
Overwork, strains. colds and other
causes, injure the kidneys, and when
their activity is lessened the whole
body suffers from the excess of uric
poison circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills come, and there is an ever
increasing tendency towards diabetes
and fatal Brights disease. There is no
real help for the sufferer except kid
ney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys and cure every kidney i'll.
Hammond cures are the proof
Mrs. c. Wise. of 407 Indiana avenue.
Hammond. Ind. says: Il was told by a
friend that Doan's Kidney Pills were a
fine remedy for kidney trouble and on
her suggestion. I purchased a box at
Bicknen & Co.'S drug store I began
taking them as directed and in a couple
of days could see that I was being
benefited The pain in my back was
less severe the kidneys were more reg
ular in action and I felt much stronger.
After a weeks use the pain had entirely
disappeared from my back and this en-
couraged me. I continued untid en-

Trio of Pickpockets Under
Arrest in Chicago Wanted
in Gary; Chief Martin Has
Extradition Papers, But
Must Await Illinois Trial.
DEFENDING ATTORNEY
INSISTS ON HEARING
Believes That Sufficient Evidence to
Convict His Client Is Lacking and
That They May Go Free-Gary
Authorities, However, Issue Fugi-
tive Warrant.


Chief of Police Joseph Martin and
officer Gus Newman made another at
tempt today to extradict the three
pickpockets. Dennis, Murray and
o'Keefe, who are wanted in this city
on that charge Again they were IN
successful, although they hold the ex-
tradiction papers for the three men,
which We're secured some time ago.
Although they could not bring them
out to Gary today Chief Martin is de-
termined that they shall not get away
from him. and will be kept informed
daily as to what is being done with
them. He has also placed a fugitive
warrant in the hands of the sheriff of
Cook county. so that if for any reason
they are released in Chicago they can
be re-arrested.
The reason that the Gary officers are
having such a hard time in bringing
the men hack to Gary is that the re are
several charges pending against them
in Chicago, and they cannot be TAX
en- from thar city until the cases are
either tried or nolle pressed. The law
yer. who is defending the men. insists
that the charges which have been
brought against the men be tried. and
as the evidence which the Chicago Of
ficials have is insufficient to convict
them, they would rather have them
released. although the re are known
to have a bad character.
Chief Martin said today. however
that he was more determined than ever
to bring the men back to Gary. where
he believes that they can be convicted
In working on this case the Gary po-
lice have the assistance of attorneys
of the Lake. Shore railroad, who are

AM AUTOMOBILE accident occurred on
Main street last evening when a large

dray throwing it against a tree. /.
No one was injured but the cal was
damaged to the extent of about $50.
The auto is a 20 horse power Cadillac

THE TELEPHONE SITUATION

The Rutland News remarks that "a
progressive Montpelier citizen feels SO
deeply over the telephone question that
has been agitating the people of the Capital
City that he proposes to take $4,000
of the stock of a S125,00O company, if his
fellow citizens will subscribe the balance
for the formation of a second telephone
company. While Montpelier is unques-
tionably entitled to relief from certain
injustices Of its present telephone corpor-
alton, it is pretty expensive in every way
to attempt to get relief by installing a
competing system. There are easier
and cheaper methods that are effective
correcting present abuses"

1t is Made Necessary by Increased Business
at Norwich University.
The special financial committee of
Norwich University held a nearly all
night session in Mortified, Thursday
night at which a full membership was
present. The finances of the institution
were found to be in excellent condition
and the university is better able than ever
before to carry on the work.
The committee is composed of the
trustees but a selected lumber of interested
graduates with the President, G. H.
Spooner form what is known as the
special committee on finances. The point
at issue was to decide upon an adequate
method of keeping the accounts, made
necessary by the increased volume Of
business during these last few years. The
present system does not meet the needs
and is not easily understood. Several
plans were proposed but zone decided
upon. The desire is to find an easy method
of booking the current finances of the
university in such a manner that they
may be understood.
DIR, Fred E. Steele of this city is a
member of this committee and was inc
attendance at the Thursday night meeting.
Another meeting will be held in about a
week with President c.. H. Spooner present
when decided action will be taken.
