LARGE HOUSES NOT

Families Want Small Struc-
ture That They Can
Look After.

Large houses are apparently pass
are not in very large demand. A num-
Der of big homes in Hammond are for
SALE but they are simply begging for
purchaser. The people apparently
want either a small house with about
rooms or else a fiat. 1t is claimed
that large houses are too hard to look
after and usually small house will
render just as much service and cover
all the needs.
For Sale" signs are common on 10
and 12-room houses on the south side.
They have been there all summer, but
scarcely any. even would-be purchas-
ers, have put in appearance. On the
other hand modern 6 and 7-room houses
are in great demand and one of them
can be rented almost any time, par
ticularly on the south side. On the
north side For Rent" signs on small
structures are an unknown thing.
Several of the largest structures are
being made over into flats in which are
readily rented for larger money than
the whole house could have been
under the first conditions. Families are
small as a rule and extra rooms mean
Only so much more space to keep

most of the work herself and have pri
vacy from the scrutinizing gaze of do

BIG DRAIN IN l4lSI. STREET

people in the vicinity have listened t.
the "chug, chug" OF the engines en-
ployed to pump out the water, keeping
the ditch clear for the workmen to lay
the brick used in the construction of
the Monmouth drain. While work has
been prosecuted with vigor. 1t was a
tedious job at best, and everybody will
rejoice at its completion. It is expected
that every lateral will be in place and
ready for connection with the stubs,
and use by househ olders by Nov. 1.
When this is done the Indiana Har-
Dor Realty company, which not long
ago purchased forty-one acres of I'M
subdivided property located west of
Kennedy avenue and north of One Hun

FIRST PASSENGER
BOAT IS LARGEST
Especial to THE TINES. J

Indiana Harbor, Sept. 2.-The first
big passenger steamship that ever en-
tered Indiana Harbor tied up at the
docks of the Inland Steel company on
Monday. The boat was the Pere Mar
quette, the largest passenger boat on
the great lakes. There are few cities
of the size of Indiana Harbor which
have enterprise enough to engage a
steamship of the proportions of the
Pere Marquette, merely to convey a
picnic crowd to the scene of their festi-
vities. but this was what called the
big steamship to Indiana Harbor. The
Inland Steel company. which is one of
Indiana Harbor's many thriving indus
tries, the largest and most enterprising
of all, in fact was responsible for the
innovation, and the incident promises
to be only one of many of a similar
nature, for the Inland picnic is to be
an annual event.

comment as anything that the city has
done in Indiana Harbor in long time,
is the wrecking of the old Eisler gro

and leaving the shell of the old frame
building standing. as unsightly an OBJ

anywhere else. Last spring it was con-

Houtschilt and the council ordered it
torn down. Nick Wentz purchased what
was left of the building from Isaac
Brown, the owner and is now having
it torn down and the material removed
to his lot on Block avenue.

BIG DEAL
IN HARBOR
REALTY
American Steel Foundries
Co. Buys Twelve Acres for
$4,000 From Erskine of
Chicago so That It Will
Have Room to Expand.

Indiana Harbor. Sept. "A real es-
tate deal that was hanging. fire for
several months was finally consumIhat-
ed a few days ago, when the American
Steel Foundry company purchased the
Erskine tract of land which lies south
of their present site.
The property, which owned by
Dewitt C. Erskine of Chicago. contains
twelve acres and the purchase price is
said to be $4,000 per acre. 1t is not
known Just what the American Steel
people contemplate doing with the
land, but it is thought they bought it
to protect themselves in case they
wished to expand further.
Last year they erected a couple of
large buildings as additions to their
plant, which brought their building
right up to the fence on the south
line of their land, and If the wished
to still fartheh increase their works,
the Erskine land would be the logica.
point for their base of operations. Their
newly acquired property is bounded on
the north and west by the Indiana Har
Dor Belt railroad, on the south by
Michigan avenue and on the east by
the Standard Forge works.
Besides this piece of land just pur-
chased the American Steel company has
an option fifty acres which lies
| directly behind their present plant and
borders on the turning basin of the
! canal. the option to be in force for
something like another year. This fifty
acres is owned by the East Chicago
company and joins the Mccormick tract
of eighty acres which that estate pur-
chased some time ago for $4,000 pei
acre.

was j. L. Holmes, who was Succee led
by John Patterson, who was known as
the daddy of the lodge. He held for
two years, when E. c. Cornelius was
elected. The next in order came Sam
uel D. Jeter, and then the present in
cumbent Burt G. Willis. A member of
No. 98 holds the position of third nat
ional president, who is the business
manager for the fourteen lodges in the
southern and western district that ex-
tends fpom Pittsburg to New Orleans,
and to Lacrosse, Wis, on the upper
Mississippi. Lodges No. 90 and Is
jointly own fine meeting room at 124
St Charles street, one block from Can
al street. They also have nice lot
in Greenwood cemetery, which was
bought with the money made by excur-
si0ns on the steamer J. 5. Sam Jeter
won the prize of a years dues for sell
ling tickets to the excursions. There
have been seven members die since
the lodge was organized, but only one
was buried in the lot, Johnny Patter-
son. Lodge No Is has 80 members,
so the combined strength is 2O8. The
best engineers in New Orleans belong
to the lodges, and only about ten per
cent of them are idle at present. No.
90 has $1,000 out at interest, and gives
a death benefit of $75, four carriages
and a $40 wreath of flowers. Mr.. w.
J. Kellerson is the trustee. We think
this a splendid showing for the en-
gineers, and only wish now that such
had been done 35 years ago when there
were so many river engineers. We
have always had a tender spot for the
engineer for our grandfather, father
and two uncles stood at the throttles
of the best boats that ever piled the
southern waters, and when we were
clerking on the river, there was moth
ing pleasanter than to sit on the foot
box and chat and drink four O'Clock
coffee with the engineer. Then again
we remember what was called monkey
wrench corner in New Orleans where
the fellows congregated and told how
Tom Barry, Pete Frelin, Charley
Grant, Bill Perkins and John Moffett
"carried water", hung their hats over
the guage, put brick bats on the safety
valve, and drove her to Donaldsonville
on the first watch. For these and many
other reasons We wish the boys of No.
9S and Is continued success.
