member of the denomination in
speaking of the plans yesterday said
There are at least twenty families in
Indiana Harbor who will be interested
and who undoubtedly will assist In a
substantial way toward the realization
of the project. How many others there
are remains to be seen. We believe
that as soon as the project is fairly
launched there will be many who will
come out and espouse II, of whom we
at present are unaware. There have
been no meetings of Episcopalians here
to say nothing of an Episcopal church
and the members OF the denomination
are scattered to the four winds. Some
don't go anywhere. preferring not tc
go to church at all, to attending a

Some Eater This.

H. Sylvester. an engineer on the c..
I. & S., lays claim to the dubious of
being some eater" of chop suey. Hav-
ing entered into a wager with Casper
Marks. a saloonkeeper at Calumet and
State streets, that he could eat five
dishes of the Chinese food, he not only
ate this amount but ate another three
dishes. He ate rice in proportion and
drank two pots of tea The water was
for only five dishes of ice cream, but
unknown to him the quantity had been
nearly doubled. He took one hour and
FIVE minutes to finish the task, and
according to his statement. went home
and slept soundly. The engineer says
that his appetite kept up until nearly
to the last.

ESQ MEN ARE
EMPLOYED At PLANT
When More Foundations
Are Completed 1000
Men Will Be Added.

More than two hundred and fifty
men are now employed at the Gary
plant of the American Tin Plate and
Sheet Steel company, which is a sub
sidiary organization of the steel cor
poration. These men are for the most
part on the pay roll of the excavating
and concrete contractors.
The construction work on the Gary
plant is under the direction of Cen
eral superintendent Gross and Engi-
neer-in- Chief Gross. Just soon as
more foundations are completed a thou
sand men will be added to the construc-
ton forces. The store room is partly
completed and work will be started
shortly on the main office building.
which will house the chemical labora-
tories. engineering division and the
draughting rooms.
1t is expected that the first of the
four units of the plant. which is to be
the largest of it's kind in the world
will be in operation by September, 1911.
The first unit will employee 5000 men
and the succeeding units when COM
pleted will each give work to a like
number
Some idea of the immensely of the
plant to be erected can be obtained
when It's considered that the completed
works with its employees and their fam
lilies will add 25, 900 to Gary's popula-
ton.
The tinplate and steel steel pant is
located on the lake just west of the
Indiana steel company plant and lies
Immediately north of Kiry railroad
yards Some time ago President Pargny
and the general officers of the company
visited Gary and had the Gary Land
company set aside 500 lots upon which
they will lbuild houses for their en-
ployes
1t is estimated that the building o
these houses which will be started
this summer will require the services
of 900 carpenters, bricklayers. plumb
ers and building workers.

TRACK LAYERS HAVE
SOME LIVELY I|LIS
Broadway Extension at the
Ridge Road Scene of
Unusual Occurrences.

The Broadway extension at the Ridge
road was the scene of some lively
Tits last night between Gary officials
including Mayor Knots and the police
on one side and the construction gang
of the Seaman company on the other.
Michael Roach. the forman, knowing
the his company's franchise from the
county commissioners expires tomor-
row. was bending all effort to get the
track down between the Ridge road
and the river. Mayor Knots taking
the stand that the company was laying
a track in city territory without a
license ordered the police to stop the
work
The Seaman company used the ALL
born Construction company's narrow
gauge engine TO haul it's material and
the police to stop this work piles ties
on the tracks to obstruct the engine
The engineer refused to be bluffed, but
instead opened the throttle wide and
came toward the obstruction with full
speed. The obstructionists realized
that their act might cause the loss OF
a life and removed the ties in quick
time It was a bluff against a bluff ir
which the engineer won out. There
were a number of hstfc encounters and
today Ora Wildermuth. the attorney
for the company threatened to get out
an Injunction against the city to protect
his company from further harass.

STRONG NINE
COMING On
SUNDAY

What is thought to be the strong
est team that has ever appeared at the
Hammond Athletic association ball park
Will oppose the locals next Sunday. The
Lawndale Specials is the nine that will
attempt to break the winning streak of
the local club.
Another victory for the local boys
Is looked for by the players and fans
of this city. The work of the local
nine in the feld is improving and their
excellent hitting ability is sure TO win
Both Walker and Pollard, the two To-
cal hurlers, are pitching good ball. and
none of the teams thus far have made
more than five hits in any of the games
and some of them went extra innings
1t is probable that a grand stand will
be erected in the near future If the
crowds continue to be as large as the
one that attended the game on Mon
day. The fans of Hammond are thor
oughly satisfied that they have tea m
that can trim the best mines in the
semi-pro ranks.

HAMMOND GIRL HOMESTEhD|NG
IN SOUTH DAKOTA NOW

Luck and pluck won a fine eighty
acre farm in South Dakota for Miss
Marie Hansen. former libra rian in the
Hammond and Crown Point public IL
braries. She is a homesteader and will
be a pioneer and is so enthusiastic
about her prospects that she has set
her girl friends in Hammond afire for
the west.
Miss Hansen returned to Hammond
last Sunday. brown as a berry. and hap
by as lark. She will spend several
weeks here with her mother and sis
tiers on Rimbach avenue. and will then
retura to claim her homestead. She is
glad TO be among her friends, but she
misses her pet Indian pony Bingo, and
probably Bingo misses her as he runs
wild on neighboring ranch awaiting
her return.
Near a Big City.
Miss Hansen went on a visit TO Min
neapolis last fall. In January she was
invited TO take a position as librarian
in Bryant. S. D.. and she accepted Peo-
pie with whom she became acquainted
insisted on her becoming a resident of
the state. and somebody suggested to
her that she take UP a claim. She
found an eighty-acre tract at Cappa,
thirty miles from Pierre, the state cap
ital. and claimed 1t, under the home
stead law. and will live on it for four
teen months and improve at least fve
acres In addition she had to pay so
cents an acre. The location of her claim
is most desirable one. Situated on
a fine public hiwhyay, it is only three
miles away from Cappa. which has a
postoffce. railroad station, a bank and
several good stores and a grain eleva-
tor. The claim that she now was re-
.uctantly abandoned by another girl II
has two wells, and this is considered
big Improvement One of these wells
was dug by a neighbor who could fnd
no water on his farm

Talks Like a Farmer.

Miss Hansen talks unconsciously like
a western farmer when discussing
homestead propositions. In discussing
her plans yesterday, she said: II am
going to let a farmer eat my grass for
fencing me in" This reduced TO Hoosier
talk means that by an arrangement a
neighboring farmer may use part OF
her land for grazing purposes while he
in return will fence a strip of land for
her.
Miss Hansen's holdings will be fur
Their improved with a. dwelling a
shack, according to homestead talk.
Miss Hansens is an unusually preten-
tious one. as IL will have two rooms,
whereas the average shack has only
one room. The spare bed will be re-
served for her girl friends who will call
on her. shepherd dog will watch the
premises during the absence of the own
err. Miss Hansen says that she is not
afraid to live by herself. as she has
neighbors nearby.
VIII Teach school.
The fact that she occupies a home
stead does not interfere with any other
work that she may want to do just as
long as she makes the necessary i'm
provements and resides on her home
stead. Miss Hansen has accordingly
procured a teachers license to teach a
school, which lies within an eighth OF
a mile of her holdings.
During the nice weather Miss Hansen
has been in the saddle every day. some
times for hours at a time. She has
caught the western spirit and conse-
quently she does not think it's cold ur
there, nor that the postoffice is far
away. or that the people use kerosene
away. nor that the people use kerosene
ten miles instead of telephoning She
believes like all her neighbors, that this
is a delightful place to live

GARY GOT 4 NRIFF
OF DESK SCANDAL
Derby Desk Co., Furnished
the Emerson School
Building.

There Is a Gary interest attached to
the indictment of the representatives
of the Derby Desk company of Chi
cago. in the Lorimer and legislative
desk scandals that have been going on
in the Illinois capital
The story is to the effect that the
company received the contract to fur
nish the Emerson school with the desks
used throughout the building. A sam
pie was submitted which was accepted
by the school superintendent and the
architect who designed the structure.
However, when the first consignment
of desks arrived they were not up to
the standard. so the architect prompt
ly rejected them.
Freight Bills High.
1t is said that the company sent a
second and then third consignment.
which were also rejected. Finally, see
ing that the school superintendent and
architect were in earnest 1t is declared
the Derby company gave what it prom
Used. 1t appears that IL found the
freight bills on the returned material
rather high and so decided to play fair.
In any event, they we're found hard
customers to deal with, and in the flu
| ture it is said that the school board will
watch closely in dealing with the com
pany which has earned such an un-
| savory reputation in connection with
