Since his latest patent has been is

the recipient of scores of letters from
all over the country Bids to buy the
patent outright from him are coming
in fast, and from other sources he is
being urged to bring his patent sewer

The patent, which was granted Mr.
Kuhlman early this week, is not for an
entirely new machine. 1t is merely for
a valuable Improvement that he has
made and he is now satisfied that he
has the very best thing on the market
Hammond has enjoyed the advantages
of his sewer cleaner for over a year.
and 1t has worked splendidly. The prin-
cipal of it is to drop a bucket through
a manhole into the sewer and by means
of a windlass stationed at another
manhole it is pulled into the sewer
where It fills, the muck passing into
the bucket because the bottom of the
bucket folds into the pail like two
wings. In reversing the course of the
bucket the muck forces the bottom
wings back into their place and they
become rigid. holding the contents in
the bucket until il is emptied.
The whole machine as it now stands
is protected by nineteen different
claims.

said that Frank Gavit, of the Gary &

the proposition of running an electric
line connecting Crown Point with the

several Crown Point fnanciers with
the proposition. soliciting their aid in
financing the project Il is understood
that if stock in the neighborhood of

crown Point citizens. that Gavit is
ready and willing to construct and
operate the road.
Two wellknown lawyers in Crown
Point have the proposition in hand
and may make an effort to interest the
citizens OF the town to give the project
their moral and material support.
Crown Point is playing no favorftes
IN the interurban road projects. and il
is the company that gets busy and
operates road first that viii get tie
patronage
The news lends a new angle to the
already complicated interurban tangle.
but Crown Point citizens are hopinr
that 1t may prove the old saw of com
petition being the life of trade" and
thereby add little life to the now
seeming dead interurban projects.
Gavit and seamen both. as Gavit and

How Indiana IS Foxiest Poll
tician Determined to Line
Up Lake County Demo
Gratis Through Lawrence
Becker of Hammond.

1t is a nice little story they are tell
ing about how Thomas Taggart, the
crafty old fox, looked away ahead in
termined TO line up the Lake county
democrats through Lawrence Becker.
During the first senatorial campaign
Mayor Becker was opposed to Tom
Taggart The fight he made against
him is remembered by democrats and
republicans alike. Becker thought the
Taggart influence was pernicious
Later on Becker was faced with the
hottest political fight of his life when
he sought reelection for the office of
mayor of Hammond. Tom Taggart. in
glancing over the state. saw the fix
that Becker was in and volunteered to
come to his assistance
1t is said that Tom reached down in
his French Lick treasury and came
up with 500, which he donated for
the Becker campaign. Becker was elect
ed and through the combination he
made with Mayors Darrow, Knots.
Miller. Durgan and others, he came to
be considered one of the Tenth dis
trict's big five.
What VIII Becker Do
When Taggart came out for the In
dorsement for senator a few weeks ago
he found that that 500 was a nice little
nest egg. Becker's opposition to Mar
shall developed and his friendship for
became more pronounced He
became part of the Taggart. machine
and that little 500 did the business.
