THE TRADESMAN'S REVIEW
IF BUSINESS CONDITIONS

market for several weeks to come.
There is a general feeling of safety
with the trade from manufacturer to
retailer that produces an unusually
healthy condition. The southeastern
trade is particularly healthy with
larger and more frequent orders than
has been noted for two years. In
the southwest caution has been prac-
ticed for several weeks but the cotton
crop still promises to be very fair
with excellent prices, which will make
Texas a liberal buyer of hardware
again. Prices still tend upwards but
on a gradual scale that will cause no
material annoyance
Lumber More Lively.
improvement in the general features
of the lumber trade is pointed out by
The Tradesman as follows:
predictions to the effect that the
passing of the tariff middle would
greatly enliven the lumber trade have
practically come true in the short
space of ten days. Throughout the
South come the reports of more eX-
tensive operations, more orders on
books and a great many more ship
ments of all grades of lumber. Al
though the tariff was not fixed as a
lumber manufacturer or jobber would
have it, there appears to be very lit
tie complaint at the final settlement
of the question, and lumbermen are
going ahead doing business with an
enthusiastic vim. What the lumber
men wanted most was something def
mite. They have that now as have
others who use or handle lumber, so
they are proceeding to do business.
! The slight reduction on sawed lumber
has not apparently injured pine while
hardwood has not felt the change in
the least In the pine belt business IS
unusually active this week, most all
lines showing a material increase in
actual movement. Sawed timber is
in excellent demand for immediate de-
livery and prices are slowly advancing
accordingly. Railroads are buying
more heavy timber and this has mate
rally stimulated the market. Retail
ers are heavier buyers just now than
they have been for many months, but
this is due to crop conditions more
than anything else In the hardwood
belt conditions are just about as man
ufacturers would have them, although
they are booking orders carefully in
anticipation of a general advance in
prices later in the fall. Practically
every mill in the country is at work
and all of them have fairly well filled
order books in their offices"

AN OPEN LETTER.

To the Voters of East Chicago,
Gentlemen-Among the family of
towns and cities that have sprang
up in the Calumet region in the last
twenty-five years, claim East Chi
cago as my child. 1t was present at
its birth. I rocked it's cradle and my
efforts were always in its defense.
Though feeble, nevertheless. they
were always freely given against
the encroachment Of outsiders and
the reception of some of it's own
citizens.
Now, / again enter the arena to
battle for retrenchment in taxation
and economy in the expenditure of
the peoples money. The lowering
of taxation, the equalization of the
valuation OF taxable property. To
save ourselves from total ruin, it is
imperative that we elect an honor
able. capable man as mayor of our
city, one who has honor to lose If
he does a dishonorable act.
Such a man ought to be elected,
regardless Of political appointments,
regardless Of political Affiliations,
regardless of what ward he lives in.
regardless OF his location, his coun-
try or creed.
My record of twenty two years
among you is my platform. and upon
that platform you must elect or re-
pect me as mayor of East Chicago,
subject to the citizens party.

EXPECTS TO CARRY SOUTH END

The Colored Republican club met last
night In their hall at 1887 Washington
stree. an@ held another rousing meet
ing. a number OF candidates on the
republican ticket were present and ad-
dressed the members of the club.
Prominent among those present was
Trustee John z. Sears. who was asked
to speak at the meeting Mr. Sears
said that the south end had always
been republican territory and in his
belief they could roll up an overwhelm-
ing majority. He advocated the selec-
ton of clean" candidate for mayor
and one who would conscieniously
serve the constituents
Tt is up to the people" said Mr..
Sears. to elect a man who will repre-
sent the citizens Of Gary and not his
own selfish desires. If you have a
mayor who viii not recognize your
wants, force him to do so"
In speaking about graft, Mr.. Sears
said there had been an awful lot of
talk about graft of late.
while I have been serving as a
trustee" said Sears. I want to say
that 1 have seen no graft. 1 went in
the office as trustee a poor man and
1 will retire as a poor man"
Mr.. A. A. Rodman. prominent colored
republican worker. was the next to
speak after M. Sears and said he was
glad to hear Mr.. Sears advocate a
clean" candidate for mayor. He took
issue with Mr.. Sears on the graft prop
osition. and said he was nightly
suspicious that there had been some
graft.
Among the other speakers of the
evening were Atty. Clarence Bretsch

NO QUORUM: NO
NEW COUNCILM MAN
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

East Chicago. Ind. Sept. 21. 1t
was expected yesterday that East Chi
cago would wake up this morning with
at least four new aldermen to her cred
it, including one alderman-at large.
Such was the plan, but like other
well laid plans of mise and men, 1T
went "agley."
The aIdermanic question constituted
the reason why there was no meeting
Of the city council last night, for it was
during the season Of lobbying for var
ious candidates. before the meeting
was called to order. that Alderman
Lewis and Alderman Schock withdrew,
leaving the council wit hnoquor ct
leaving the council with no quorum.
The matter of appointing temporary
aldermen to ill the unexpired term OF
office in the newly created wards, was
the special business before the coun-
Gil. The new wards are the fourth, fifth,
sixth and seventh, representing Okla
homa and what was formerly the fourth
ward, covering the whole of Indiana
Harbor. Now Oklahoma is the fourth
ward, and Indiana Harbor. the old
fourth ward has been divided into the
fifth, sixth and. seventh wards.
The councilmen came early. all but

who the various aldermen were sup
porting Is clothed in mystery to a large
extent. the friends of the rival candi-
dates preferring to withhold the names
from publication until there is a chance
to put their men through.
Schock and Lewis. it appears, were
agreed upon a certain candidate while
the favor OF the other councilmen were
variously divided.
When $50 o'clock arrived and no
/ agreement had been reached as to
whom to appoint, Schock and Lewis
withdrew and then there was no quo
rum.

was not lining up politically just as he
cared to have him. This gave Bowling,
who felt that he could not conscien-
tiously desert his political beliefs, an
intimation that he was about to be
discharged. and he had been expecting
the notice every day.
A peculiar fact about the discharge
is that no reason has been assigned
for Diminishing him from the service of
the city. Bowling has the reputation
Of a man who attends to business so
that his discharge seems all the more
like bold political vengeance.

public that il has ever had, and one of
the best teams that Lake county has
ever produced, providing the men can
be induced to stick together and win

seems likely at the present time that
the man who will captain the local ag-
gregation is Walter Steffen, former
captain of the Chicago university team
who has been employed in this city.

are: Walter Steffen. Clark Williams,

80 PERCENT
INCREASE:
IN SCHOOLS
Gary's Enrolment Shows
Remarkable Growth Since
This Time Last Year, and
This Is Only the Begin
ming.

The Gary school enrolment for the
beginning of the present year has been
found to be l.160 or 40 more than at
the beginning of last year, represent
ing more than a so per cent increase.
During the course of the school year
It IS expected that there will be a
large number of students brought into
the schools. as the workingmen bring
their families to this city and enter
them in the classes.
The students are divided among the
following schools: Jefferson. 3s5; Four
teenth street, 21o; Twenty first Street,
120; Clark Road. 40, and Emerson. 425.
There are seventy students enrolled
in the high school and this number is
also expected to be increased during
the year.
Jefferson Oyercrowded
At the present time the rooms in
the Jefferson school are overcrowded
There win be no relief for this build
ing Until more of the rooms at the JEFF
ferson are finished at which time many
of the students will be transferred to
the new school which has been erected
at a cost of 100000.
Owing to the fact, also, that the
Emerson building is not completed, the
! sub primary classes cannot be started
for about two weeks At the present
stage of completion of the building
they have no facilities for handling
those students and the equipment
which will be necessary.
Before the end of the present schoo
year it is expected that the total en-
rollment vii lamount to about 1900 o.
1.4OO.
