DALTON
COAL CO.
HAS PLENTY

John J. Nyhoff, manager of the Dali
ton Coal company today denied that
his firm was facing a coal famine, but
declared that they had enough fuel on
hand to last them for two weeks, if
there was no other coal shipped in in
the interim. In addition to that fact
he stated that over two hundred car
loads of coal had been ordered from
the mines and that seventy eight of
these cars were in transit and expected
to arrive in Gary al almost any time
In spite OF the bad weather in the
past few days the mines announce
that the order of the Dalton Coal COM
pany would be filled. Beside the 149
carloads of ceal which this firm re-
Gently ordered they state that they
have ordered fifty more to be deliv-
cred to Gary at once.
The two leading coal companies Of
the city the Dalton and the Gary Coal
company, assert that the demand for
coal this year is far in excess of what
the firms had reason to expect in con-
sideration of the mild winters in this
region in years past. Both of these
firms have found it necessary to en-
pIoy a number of extra teams and men
for the past few days in order to meet
the demand for coal Mr.. Nyhoff stated
today that he had fifteen extra teams
employed at the present time in Gary.
When the cold weather started the coal
company had $500 tons of coal stored
at their yards, ready for delivery, but
this has now been practically used up.

would be preferred if the governor
would not visit Gary and reports to eff
feet that the governor would not be in
Gary for either occasion, have been
given out. 1t is thought that his mes

have been to the effect that he would
be unable to be in Gary for the Jefrer-

governor to be present.

The Chicago Title & Trust company,

in Gary to establish branch office in

gone so far as to settle on location,
but the deal has not ben closed up as
yet
1t Is said that it is the aim of the
big Chicago concern to corner the i'm

BIG DEAL
IS CLOSED
TO-DAY

A seventeen thousand dollar real es-
tate deal was closed in Gary yesterday,
when the South Broadway Land COM
pany, with T. W. Englehart as it's
president, purchased the Mathew Nc
Bride building for $4,000. The prop
erty was bought for speculation, and
Mr.. Mcbride, who Is a saloonist, will
in all probability retire.
The property is located on Broad
way, just north of the Michigan Cen
tral tracks on the east side of the
street The building is a two-story
brick and has a thirty foot front. 1t
is one of the big deals that has been
closed in Gary within the past few
weeks. and will undoubtedly bring a
handsome profit for the purchasers.

circulation of adequate money earned
by the employees depends the success

A GREAT INCREASE.
OF no less interest to the people of
Gary has been the phenomenal increase
in the payroll of the wage earners of
the Indiana Steel company. independent
of the salaried employees. For the
past. year the average increase per
month has been $4,000. This, of
course. is due largely to the fact that
men employed by Independent contrac-
tors in the construction of the mills
were turned over to the steel corpora :
ton in the operation of departments of
the plant as they were completed. The
exact amount of the salaries of the
wage earners during each month of the
past year is as follows:
