The department is still in it's in

1t was started by private subscription

board decided to shoulder one-half the
expense of the new department which
was becoming quite popular both with

BEGIN To FIND OUT HOW
IMPORTANT CALUMET REGION IS
W. A Pridmore of Gary Realty Company Tells Chicago
Paper What an Important Center Gary and
Tributary Country Is

The Chicago papers have finally con-
descended to admit that there are some
possibilities in the Calumet region.
The surprise expressed by the 500
railroad and electrical engineers who
visited Gary last Friday is echoed by
every one who knows the transforma-
ton that is going on at the point where
the shore crosses the Indiana line.
says the Chicago Record-Herald. Two
years ago Gary had a population of
less than 400, today IT has $4,000 and
1t is believed that within Ave years
the population will reach zoo 900. One
Of the chief reasons for the increase is
that other concerns are following the
United States Steel corporation and ara
locating their factories near the big
central plant
The lands purachesd for the steel
plant consists of 5000 acres extending
along the lake shore for about eight
miles. The plant will cost 500, 900. =
600 when finished. and it must be seen
in order that its enormous size may
be comprehended There are to be
eighteen blast furnaces, four Of which
are completed and blown in. Each of
these furnaces costs $1,000, 600 There
are TO be eighty-four open hearth
furnaces and six rail mills. The first
rail- mill has been finished. It is 1875
feet long, or about four times the dis
lance from Madison to Washington
streets.
Building Ore Bins.
Three immense ore bins are being
constructed Of concrete Each of these
is half mile long and 900 feet high
The gases from the furnaces are to be
used for the development of 100. 900
horse power that will drive the city's
lighting plant. 1t is expected that the
mills will handle more 5000, 600 tons of
ore year and produce above 100000
tons of steel and about 1000, 600 tons
Of steel rails annually In addition

In the steel plant. In addition there
VIII be the manufacturing establish
ments of the American Steel and Wire
company, the American Bridge com
pany. the American Tin Plate company.
the National Tube company, the Amer
lean Car and Foundry company. the
American locomotive company. the
II G F'rick Coke company and others.
When these plants are in full opera
ton it is believed that Chicago will
surpass any other manufacturing
center in the country other manu-
facturing concerns have indicated their
intention of joining the colony on the
lake shore because of the advantage of
being close to the source of supply for
material and of having the rail facili
ties offered in this vicinity
Deep Water Way Factor.
The lakes to gulf deep water way is
expected to play an important part in
the development of this region. In ad-
dition to rail facilities the City of Gary
has a harbor equipped with large docks
where the ore is handled by machinery
at low cost
so much manufacturing activity has
caused the springing up Of many resi-
dences and business buildings. The
new business buildings include several
banks, all of which are prosperous. AS
an indication Of what is going on. w.
A. Pridmore. manager of the Gary
Realty company, said:
A plot OF land at Gary sold for $3.50
a short time ago. Then it sold for ST.
75O, and was again sold by our com
pany for $4,000 cash We have sold
400 lots in our subdivision during the
last eighteen months. and many Of the
buyers are building. The entire dis
trict extends from Gary to Hammond,
including Indiana Harbor and East
Chicago, and the time is not far dis

MINERS MAY COMBINE.
The Two Big Unions Working With
That End In View.

1t is practically assured that a great
labor combination will be perfected in
the mining industry in the near future.
The United Mine Workers Of America
and the Western Federation Of Miners
are likely to form an alliance that will
include upward of 100000 men and
eventually over 100000. The two bod
les are DESTROYS of organizing all work
ers in and about the mines.
1t has long been the dream of Presi-
dent Il. L. Lewis and Frank Hayes of
the United Mine Workers and such
men as Meyer and Haywood and John
O'Neil of the Western Federation of
Miners to build up an organization that
will completely control the mining in
duStry. Last summer Frank Hayes
visited the western men and invited
them to join hands with the eastern
coal miners. Next January the west
erners will visit Indianapolis to meet
the United Mine Workers representa-
tives in convention and see If they can
agree upon the details of the combina-
ton.
John O'Neil, editor of the Miners
Magazine, the official organ of the
Western Federation Of Miners. said q
few days ago that there is no longer
any doubt that the alliance will be
consummated.
