HAMMOND'S
DEPOSITS ARE
s2,S26,874

The appearance of statements of the
total deposits of the Gary banks from
time to time has lead to an inquiry on
the part OF a number of people inter
ested in the Hammond banks as to
how the deposits of the Hammond
banks compare with those of Gary.
The last statement of the total de-
posits of the Gary banks showed that
there was 1909, 5s635. An inquiry
among the Hammond banks today ELI
cited the information that the total de-
posits of the Hammond banks Is s2,-
s26,s7463. Roughly this is a differ
ence of s1.117.00O and Hammond has
just half as many banks as Gary

GROWTH OF
POST OFFICE
REMARKABLE

The growth and prosperity of Ham
mond are shown to a remarkable do
gree In the large increase in the nost-
al receipts for the first half Of the rs
cal year. The receipts for the first stx
months of the fiscal year are in the
neighborhood of $4,000, while the to-
tai receipts last year were only about
$4,000. 1t is confidently expected thu
the receipts for the entire postoffice
year Will be in the neighborhood Of
sl5oooo, which is more than double
what they were last year
This is IN advantage to the Hammond
office for the reason that it is easier
to get clerks and carriers when tba
receipts are higher. Two more clerls
have been added to the list recently.
Ihey are Hal Young and Simon Koov
Another carrier is needed for the stan
dard Steel Car district, but the post
office department has been pursuins
a policy of economy that makes it al
mostsimpos sible to secure new carriers
no matter how great the demand NAV
be- 1t is expected that as soon as the
next congress makes the necessary an.
preparation that the force of the loca
office will be greatly increased.

RAILROADS
HOLDING Up
THE WORK

The railroads between Hammond and
Harvey are holding up the construc-
tion of the Eastern Illinois Traction
company the line which is to connect
the Hammond Whiting & East Chica-
go line with number of Illinois
towns.
The company is having the most
trouble with the Panhandle railroad
which runs through Illinois just out
side of the West Hammond city limits.
The Chicago & Eastern Illinois Trac-
tion company a great deal of trouble.
This. however. calls attention to the
fact that when the new traction line
is built the people of Hammond will
have access to a number of new rail-
roads which are not easily accessible
now
For instance, it Will be possible to
take the Eastern Illinois Traction Co.
to point where it intersects with the
Panhandle railroad, just west of Ham
mond, and there make connections with
Crown Point, a much-needed service.
Railroads Always Fight.
There are also a number of towns
located on the Chicago & Eastern IIli-
nois railroad and on the Illinois Cen
trail lines which will be reached from
the Calumet region by the new trac-
tion line.
1t is believed that these facts will
be presented to the railroad officials
and will go a long way toward max
ing them come to terms regarding
crossings.
1t has been the experience of the
Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago
line, however, that it has never soubh'
to cross a railroad. but it was giver
a great deal of trouble.
When this line was first built it tool
six months or year before the Michi
gan Central, Monon, Erie and Nicke
Plate roads would permit it to eros:
| at Holman street. Finally the com.
| pany resorted to a ruise and the track:
| were laid before the objecting com
| panies could interfere.

Indianapol Ind, Nov. 19.-A1ready
there are symptoms that the democrats
are going to have a Kilkenny cat time
of 1T in the election of a speaker for
the house of representatives when the
next legislature meets in January. The
influences that were at work on a plan
to harmonize all ,of the conflicting eIe-
nents seem to have failed to accom-
plish anything and the whole business
is again up in the air.
This has resulted from the effort
which Thomas Taggart has been max
ing to land w. w. Spencer of Marion
county in the speakers chair. Tag
gart brought Spencer into the race in
the first place and has been giving him
all of his support. Taggart has lined
up all the possible votes for him.
1t is known that all of the interests
in the party represented 1guratively
by Governor Marshall are not at all
satisfied with Spencer and that they
