most important ones that the people
of Lake County have ever promoted
and only the selfish. penny wise policy
of the railroads stands in the way of
their accomplishment.
The Burns ditch promoters have
won every Tight so far. They have es-
tablished the fact that the franchises
of the railroads in the state of Indi-
ana were granted with the expectation
that they would pay the expense of
building bridges over the waterways
of the state and over it's drainage
bitches
Testimony Is PurchasabIe.
The promoters of the ditch have in
troduced many expert witnesses who
have said that the project Is entirely
feasible and that it should be carried
out but in view of the fact that lex
pert testimony is a purchasable article
it is expected that just as expert engi-
neers will testify that the Burns ditch
is entirely impraticable and Is nothing
more than a wild scheme.
The railroads have employed a score
or more attorneys to fight for their in
terests against the interests of the peo-
pie of Lake County. 1t is fortunate
that the promoters OF the Burns ditch
are equally resourceful.
During the next ten days the feasa-
bility of the project will be argued pre-
and on and the people of the Calumet
reiion will watch the proceedings with
bated breath.

miles. One attorney even claims that
the engineers in charge of the pro-
ject are trying to make the ditch run
up hill
Another interesting fact that was
brought out in the testimony in the
Valparaiso trial is the fact that Engi-
neer Weisner, who is employed by the
Chicago drainage district drew the
plains or the ditch and the Chica go
drainage district is interested in see
ing the Burns ditch built or the rea-
son that it would take care of the
flood waters of the Little Calumet
river and solve the only engineering
problem that stands in the way of the
construction of the Calumet auxiliary
canal from Blue Island to the Sag
1t therefore becomes apparent that
two great projects depend upon the
success of the Burns ditch which the
railroads are so determind1y fighting.
Menace Two Projects.
1. The project to reverse the flow
of the Grand Calumet river in order
that the sewage OF the enormous terri
tory at the south end of Lake Michigan
may be carried down the drainage
anal instead Of polluting the drinking
water OF Lake Michigan.
2. The project to reverse the flow
Of the Little Calumet river at its
headwaters to prevent the annual
inundation of thousands of acres Of
valuable farm lands and reclaim them
for the use of truck gardeners.
These two projects are probably the

Hundred and Nineteenth street, who
was arrested for selling coke" to a
negro and a white woman, who were
arrested with six bottles of the dope on

last night and was fined $40 and costs,
amounting to s22 The druggist paid

Cases Sensation.
The arrest of Mattern created a big
sensation in Whiting. He is regarded
as one of Writings leading citizens
and he is the owner of the principal
drug storein Whiting.
But this fact made no difference in
the administration of justice, and Mat
tern was hailed before Mayor Parks on
the charge of selling coke" Illegally
The negro. whose name is Ellis Evans,
and the woman, whose name is Mrs.

had purchased the drug from the Whit

tive but for him to plead guilty and
have it over.

earnings of other roads. which have
NOT the advantage of serving Gary and
Hammond. The Financial and Com
mercial Chronicle recently compiled
the operating results of some 201 street
and electric railways. During the
twelve months of 1909 the aggregate
gross earnings were more than $780,

the twelve months of the preceding
year, which year, by the way, also
showed a gain over the previous year,
Notwithstanding the period of financial
depression. The normal increase in
the gross earnings of we'll located
street and electric railways seems 10
be in the neighbcrhood of ten per cent

has increased some IS per cent during
the past month. The receipts for
