PLAY rs ENJOYED.
Stubborn Cinderella Draws
Good House.

"A Stubborn Cinderella at Towle's
opera house last night proved to be
one of the best offerings of the sea
son, and the house was packed for the
first time this year.
People came to Hammond from all
parts of the surrounding country. and
they were more than pleased with the
entertainment. One of the interesting
facts about the entertainment last
evening was the fact that Mort H.
Singer and Manager Morris J. Evans
of the Princess Amusement company,
which puts out this attraction. were
present in the audience to see how the
company is doing
Manager Roy c. Emery was very
muc hpleastd with the liberal patron
age that this attraction received and
also with the splendid reception that
the people of Hammond and the sur
rounding cities gave the play.
with the assurance that the house
can be filled by good attraction. it is
expected that more of them will be
booked in the future

THIS BALLOON A HUMMER

Travels to Lowell,
Ind.
(snecial 70 THn TIMEe.l


Lowell, Ind, Sept 27-Peter Stanley,
living a short distance north of Low
ell picked up a rubber balloon in his
yard on last Friday that for distance
and endurance viii successfully com
pete with the airships and balloons you
read about so much in the newspaper
dispatches nowadays. 1t had a tag at
tached to it that read:
IF you find this write me- Was
sent up from Galena fair, Galena,
Ill Address NJ. I. Michaels, Fen
nimore, Wis"
This would indicate that this little
rubber balloon had travelled in the air
from Galena, H., to Lowell, Ind, a
distance, which those who claim to
know and as the crow flies, is over two
hundred miles. Allowance oe1ng made
for air currents, the distance could
reasonably be doubled.
The balloon was still inflated and in
good condition when found and ready
to take another sail if some one would
give it a start.
Mr.. Stanley has written Mr.. Michaels
at Fennimore, Wis, and is waiting fol
reply.

to give Town Marshal Fred Rose of
Hobart any damages in the case which
was filed against Baulmer, the chauf-
feur. who created such sensation in
Hobart a few weeks ago by attempting

trying to arrest him for speeding.
Attorneys r. r. Peddicord and Judge
John II. Ginett represented Rose, and
Attorneys E. G. Sproat and Louis E.
Hart represented the defendant.
The case against Baulmer, in which
he was charged with assault upon the
person OF Fred Rose, was appealed to
the Lake superior court. and last Fri

Baulmer was acquitted.
This Is taken to be a complete vim

WILL START SUIT.

1t is understood today that Gostlin.
Meyn & Co. have authorized Attorney
l. [. Bomberger to start suit to fore
close a mortgage which that company
holds against Joseph o. Morris.
It will be remembered that Joseph
0. Morris came to Hammond and
bought a large amount of acreage upon
what is now the settlement known as
East Hammond.
Mr.. Morris made great killing on
this roperty, and is said to have clean
ed up $4,000 on the sale of lots in this
subdivision. But Morris, like a great
number of other real estate men, did
not know when he had enough.
He turned around and bought more
acreage on tn eriver front east of Co
Iumbia avenue. He subdivided this
property and spent great deal OF
money in improving it.

None Who Are Not Entitled
Will Be Permitted
to Vote.
map of the precincts of Hammond
and the different primary polling places
are given on page of this issue.

The obligations of citizenship make
is imperative that every republican in
Hammond vote at the primaries tomor-
row. One of the greatest promoters of
harmony. after the primaries are over,
will be the feeling on the part of all
candidates that the whole party has
spoken and that the nominees. as desig-
mated by it, are the choice of a majority
of the republicans of Hammond.
Vote for the Real Choice.
There will be nothing so certain to
bring about a feeling of dissatisfaction
on the part of the candidates and their
supporters than the knowledge that the
nominee is not the real choice of the
party.
Consequently, every republican citi-
zen should look upon it as his civic
duty to vote in the primaries and aid
in fairly and honestly registering the
will of the party.
No republican will have cause for
complaint about the ticket who does
not take a little time from his work
and vote for the candidates whom hc
believes will be the best representative
Of the party in the coming municipal
campaign.
1t is said that the friends of the
democratic machine last Saturday ad-
vised their friends not to vote at the
democratic primaries, but to vote for
the weakest men on the republican
ticket at the republican primaries This
trick is characterically unscrupulous
and un-American.
Vote for Acceptable Men.
Today republicans are being advised
to be careful that the will of a majori-
~ is not thwarted by the selection OF
men who would not be acceptable to

The weather promises TO be repub-
lican. That is, there is every indication
that the day will be fine and the spir-
tied contest for the office of city judge

tions, not to say the interest that has
been aroused in the nomination of tht
head of the ticket will bring out bis

Interest Is Unparalleled.
Not in recent years has there beer
so much interest in the republican pri
maries that is being shown at tn
present time. There is not a single re
publican leader who is not convinced
beyond the peradventure of a doub
that the ticket win be elected this fal
if the right men are nominated.
The Importance of having every re
publican out tomorrow cannot be over
estimated. In the case of the demo

DECLARES
WARON THE
RAILROADS
State Commission Exhausts
It's Argument With Local
Officials Without Results
ADVISES City to Force
Recognition of Needs.

The Indiana railroad commission has
exhausted its powers of persuasion
with the officials of the railroad enter
ing Hammond. which are in need of
better depot facilities The only re-
suits which have been accomplished
thus far have been the promise of min
or improvements, and today William J.
Wood, chairman of the commission. in
formed representatives of the Hammond
/ Business Mems association that their
only recourse was to file a petition with
him asking that the railroads be forced
| to build new depots.
In a nut shell, diplomatic relations
! have been severed and war has been de-
cIared between the railroads and the
people of Hammond. The prospects are
that a committee of lawyers, represent
! ing the Hammond Business Mems asso-
citation, will make an investigation to
determine just what powers the com
mission has to compel the making of
new improvements, what power the city
has along this line and will then insti-
tute legal proceedings to force the
building of depots in Hammond.
Many Roads Heard From.
Chairman Wood of the commission
read some correspondence from the
railroads this morning. which stated
clearly their position in the matter
The sum and substance of these letters
is as follows:
The MOnOn.
B. E. Taylor, general manager of the
Monon, writes that his road will be
compelled to expend $1OO 900 for block
signals and a large sum for road re
pairs and is too poor to think of max
ing improvements in its depot facilities
in Hammond in the near future. He
claims the principal traffic from Ham
mond is to Chicago. at the rate of 2;
cents one way. which does not pay.
The Erie.
B. E. Woodruff, general agent of the
Erie, writes that his road will at one,
commence some temporary improve
ments on the old Erie depot, whicl
will provide a separate waiting room
for the women. He also stated tha
he had taken up the matter with TIL
Monon officials of building a joint de
pot, and he is hopeful that something
might be done along this line in tn
future.
wabash Gets Busy.
s. E. Carter the general superin
tendent of the Wabash, writes that hi
road is only tenant of the Chicag
Terminal Transfer company, but tha
he has taken up the matter of bette
depot facilities with the lessor and

will make it possible TO restore the oil

Bisbee daily review., 1909-08-11

some and uncomfortable fashion of riding which has been the vogue for women for many centuries The South says that it is not modest nor becoming that a woman shall sit astride her horse when she rides. and the sidesaddie is the only proper sad de upon which she may ride. Now, upon what ground is th.s asseump- tion?
 It is doubtful if one man in hundred who so bitterly opposes cross-sadle riding for women knows whence came the sidesaddle. Ncr does he know that there was once a time when all women rode as some women would now ride. just as men ride. The sidesaddle was introduced into England toward the latter part of the fourteenth century by Anne of DOutIusds slo haS tbS si1S ol iAiei-- ard II, son of the Black Prince This lady, so all tradition available on the subject tells us, was a woman of ex- tremely delicate health and had the 1lrther handicap of hip aiiment. which, whether by dislocation,. rheu- natism. or tuberculosis, had been shortened until 1t was impossible for her to sit safely or the saddle then in use. Being fond of riding. she had the sidesadle designed to meet her peculiar requirements, and being Queen of England. t was courtesy in the first place and assurance of long life .n the second place that no lady of the court should ride in any fash ion except that set by the queen.
 That's where the sidesaddle came from. And because a queen had a short limb we have the interesting spectacle of women nearly six cen turies later being condemned Oh, a far-fetched notion Of modesty to rid ing in way that $ as uncomfortable as it is unsafe. We hazard the wager that if the busy Georgia lawmakers should pass law. compelling men to ride aside that never agan would mans leg be thrown over horse in Georgia.

THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

What is acknowledged to be one Of the greatest industrial organizations An the country Is holding it's annual session th.s week in the city of Spo- kane. washington--the National irri- gaticn congress. It is interesting to reza :n today's dispatches that the present session of this industrial body promises to be the most successful In it's story, counting the number of visitors and the prominence oi the men who will discuss the question of Irrigation in all its features
 IL was through the persistent ef- forts of the irrigation congress and the western senators and congress men that the government was finally induced to undertake the reclamation of the ard lands of the country ty the storage of water and other means of providing waters for irrigation. For this purpose money received by the government for public lands was d. verted into what is know as national @rrigaton fund of the government. Since the passage of the irrigation act this fund has received from the sale of public lands the sum of fifty two millions of dollars, twice as much as was expected by anyone when the reclamation act was passed by con gress.
 Arizona was one of the first of the various states and territories to re ceive the benefit of the reclamation act in the starting of the Tonto Basin dam, now nearing completion. This great public work will cost the gov ,ernment more than s5,ooe.oo0. An- other enterprise for the reclamation of desert land in this territory is the Laguna dam on the Colorado river. now complete.
 The first effort of the government reclamation service was quite natur- ally that which would bring the quick est and surest results. the storage of the surface water which was running unused ito the sea in the flowing riv- CTS of the arid states and territories When all that can be accomplished by watef storage has been done then Et may be expected that the govern naent will undertake the work oi bringing into use the waters which underiie the surface in the great val icys of the vest. such as the Sulphur Spring, the San simon. the Santa Crur and others in Arzona and New Mexico.
