been forced to pool their resources and
plan a steel plant which shall be a com
petitor of the Indiana Steel company's
plant.
The Calumet region in Indianan will
be selected as the site of the new in
dustrial monster for the reason that
lie is only here that the Independents
can hope to compete with the powerful
steel trust
Must Have Big Site.
A F. Knots Is of the opinion that
when the Independents select a site for
their new plant and possibly the new
city that will be a rival of Gary it will
be at a point on the lake east of Gary.
The site at the mouth of Wolf river in
Hammond has been talked of but it is
absolutely necessary that the new plant
be located on the lake front where
there may be easy access to it for the
big ore boats which must supply 1t with
raw material.
There would not be room enough on
the lake front at Wolf river in Ham
mond unless the company reclaimed
hundreds OF acres of land from the
shallow waters of the lake and even
then there probably would not be room
enough for future expansion 1t is
also understood that the Shields and
the Forsythes who own most of the
property in this vicinity are demand
ing such unheard of prices for their
property that the cost of such a site
would be prohibitive.
Easy to Make a Harbor.
Mr.. Knots says that a river Xix,
Wolf river really means very little t,
the big manufacturer of steel III,
knows that he can go east of Gar,
/ and secure thousands of acres of Iant
for comparatively a small figure an,
then it costs only a million of dol
lars or so to construct harbor tina
can be used exclusively by that com
pany. as in the case of the Gary harbor
So Mr.. Knots believes that the nev
plant of the amalgamated independent
will be located east of Gary In tn
vicinity of Dune Park or even farthe
east That a site will be secured i
the next few years seems a certaint
and Mr.. Knots believes then that al
of the expansion in the steel industr
will take place here in the Calumet re
gion where the captains of industry ar
building for the future.

Indiana Harbor. Ind. May 15.-Few
of the citizens of Indiana Harbor or

the undertaking now in progress to
provide for the surface drainage of IN
diana Harbor. The work is progress
ing with great rapidity, three hundred
laborers being employed along the line
of the big ditch, while force Of skilled
sewer builders is engaged in construct
ing the masonry. and another gang of
engineers and their helpers Is manag-
ing the mechanical equipment This
includes two steam shovels, three En-
erson upright pumps which control hun
dreds of points and one large centri-
fugal engine. The steam shovels are
scooping the sand out of the ditch in
readiness for the laborers to complete
the sewer bed The Emerson pump
keeps the ditch free of water and the
centrifugal engine pumps the water
out of the completed portion of the
work.

DRAINAGE WORK At HARBOR

pany wagon rocked and jolted its way
over couple of miles of sandy wilder
ness between seemingly interminable
swamps and amid the most desolate
looking landscape imaginable. The
completion of the sewer will transform
all this and couple of years from now,
it is safe to predict, the entire region
which is now all but impossible, will
be honey combed with paved roads and
built up with workingmens homes,
busting business blocks and other
signs of civilization.
Drains big Territory.
To realize what the giant sewer will
do for the region it is intended to drain,
one has only to view the transforma-
ton wrought in the territory tributary
to the Cline avenue ditch This in
cludes most of the land between the c.,
l. S. & E. r. r.. Alder street, Guthrie
street and the river, and the ditch will
still be utilized after the new sewer is
completed. The ditch was finished only
this spring, and without personally
witnessing the transformation its com
| pletion has brought about, it would be
difficult to believe its magnitude. The
water from the swamps and ponds in
i its vicinity. is pouring into it, by
means of various tributary bitches, and
a this season it's current is as swift
as that of a good sized river
The new sewer will be a mile and
three quarters in length. The water it
carries away win then be pumped into
an open fume through two immense
pipes, one AZ inches in diameter and
the other Is inches. at a point some
thing like a mile from the river. A
pumping station will be built at the
junction between the flume and The
sewer, and the contents of the sewel
will be carried from this point to th'
river, through the flume.

the sewer will be completed by mex

LIVING is HIGH ABROAD.

While the American housewife is
complaining of the increased cost of
articles of food, the fact should not be
lost sight of that living is also on the
increase in other countries. Poi
t1cians often pirate about the protec-
tive tariff being the cause of our high
prices, but England, to which they
point as the free trade country, with
cheaper living, actually shows in.
creased costs of food. Students of
economics are fast coming to the CON
clusion that it is not the tariff, or
other alleged protective elements, that
tend to increase the cost of living. but
that the advance in this direction is
due to increased compensation for the
advance in efficient labor, the tenden-
cy toward better living, increased run
ring expenses due to advance in taxes
and some new taxes, more stringent
sanitary requirements of municipal
tiles, the Increase Of the number of
those in the same lines of endeavor
and continued competition.
Prices on practically every article
of food in England have steadily
climbed upward since 1906, according
to figures received by the state de
partment from Consult General Grit
fiths of London. These figures were
compiled by the British Board of Agri-
culture. They show that with the
exception of mutton and pork, the
prices of meat were higher in 1908
than in 1907. Butter was also higher
In 1908, as also was bread. With the
exception of apples and pears, almost
all fruits were dearer, while vegeta-
tables, with the exception OF onions
and pears, were generally cheaper.

Forcing the Limit.

Carthage Republican: Recently two
train crews on Wabash trains running
into East St. Louis, stopped their
trains in corn field near East Alton,
Ill, and went to sleep in tae caboose,
having been out sixteen hours and
under the state law were compelled
to take eight hours rest. A few min
'utes more would have taken them in
but they stopped their train on the
second and extra crews and engines
were sent out to take them in, after
blocking traffic for some time.
Not very long ago the same taing
occurred with the west bound train on
this branch Of the Wabash. The six
teen hour limit was out at Elvaston,
six miles from home. They laid up
and crew and engine came out from
Hamilton and took them in.
On tae G., station. agents south of
here have locked up their stations
and forced passengers out on the plat
form to await the helated freight,
the agent having been on duty sixteen
hours.
This is an enforcement of the law
with a vengence and it looks like the
railroads expect to make it so unpop-
ular as to have it repealed.
The law in spirit is a good one.
In the stress of rush of business.
trainmen have been compelled to.
double on runs beyond their endur-
ance and many costly wrecks have
occurred, With loss of life as conse-
quence. Many ,'mes train crews
would willingly go to make extra
mileage. The law was intended to
cover these cases.
However, to be fair With tire rail-
roads, they must live to the lett-r Of
the law or stand prosecution IN clm-
plant of some cranky emplose or
patron and everyone knows wnat
jury will do to railroad that violates
even in slightly technical manner
and of the numerous statutes passed
to regulate railroads.
There ought to be broader, better
basis of understanding and loyalty
between railroads and patrons. Rail-
roads are fair and reasonable if given
chance. Railroad officials, as a.
rule, are good business men and
princely good fellows personally. Tie
writer has had more or less close
dealings with railroads for the past
twenty-five years and our experience
has been that as rule any reason
able proposition presented to a rail
road company fully and fairly, will
be treated with prompt courtesy and
if possible, acceded to. This applies
to patrons as well as employees.

organizations must be impressed with

manage the railroads, but to man
them.
THE CENSUS or kEoklJk.

Of Keokuk to be taken by the Com
mercial club, says:
"The Commercial club of keokuk
will soon consider the advisability Of
taking a census of the city. The fed
eral census will be taken in April, but
tic Keokuk mind is impatient and not
Inclined to wait so long. The trend of
the discussion in the newspapers is in
the direction of having the count
made by blocks, and that the work
could be done quickly, accurately and
without much expense. What is IN
the Keokuk mind is that there are
$4,000 people in the city, and the
ambition runs toward making the in
ycntory before January 1. Then the
figures can be used for advertising
purposes for several months before
Uncle Sam gets ready to tell the peo-
pie how many of them there are
The Reporter is in error as to the
purpose of the proposed unofficial
count. Keokuk, unlike some other
Iowa cities, has never either padded
its census returns or boasted of the
of its inhabitants. 1t has al
ways preferred quality to quantity, and
with entirely satisfactory results. In

TIMELY WARNINGS.

The fire chief of Des Moines has
issued list of "Don'tsn as warnings
during cold weather They are no less
applicable in Keokuk than in the
capital city. They are as follows.
Don't overhead your furnace.
Don't leave the draft of your stove
open when you go to bed.
Don't try to thaw out the gasoline
can by setting it on the kitchen range.
Don't fail to see that your chimney
is fireproof, fues clean and bricks
solid
Don't start the fire by pouring kero-
sene from can onto live Goals.
Don't leave inflammable material
within reach of sparks from the crate
unless you expect to watch it care
fully.
Don't go back to bed leaving the
front door draft of your furnace open
after you start the fire in the morn
ing, unless all combustibles have
been removed from the front of said
front door draft
Don't try to dry your rubbers and
arctics in the oven of the kitchen
range. 1t may result in false fire
alarm and a needless run by the fire
department.
