night was caused by public sentiment.
During the past two days, according
to one prominent Tolleston citizen.
there has been a strong undercurrent
of feeling against Gallagher's fight,
when the majority of Tolleston's cfti-
zens favor the annexation, and Gal
lagher knowing of this was compelled
to throw up the sponge.
A SUDDEN CHANGE OF HEART.
Realizing the situation, II Tolleston
should have lost the tight In the courts,
President Gallagher knew that he
would have little chance of being the
alderman representing Tolieston in
the Gary council.
If he had to loose his Office as town
president he would rather be a Gary
councilman than to lose out entirely.
This more than anything else, it Ia
said Is what made Gallagher decide to
drop the fight.
QUESTION OF REPRESENTATION.
Gary now has seven aldermen, two at
large and five representing the wards

Within three more years there will
be more blast furnaces in the Gary
Calumet region-than in the steel en-
circled city of Pittsburg.
The smoky city on the Monongahela
has 5s stacks. Its rival in the north
western corner of Indiana and the
northeastern Illinois has but 2s. But
in 1913 Pittsburg must take second
place for smoke will be beIching forth
from more than so furnaces on the
banks of the Calumet and its tribu-
tarfes.
Do Not Realize Magnitude.
Few people realize the magnitude of
the steel industry in this part of the
country. Since 1906 1t has leaped from
obscurity to second place. One end of
the region-Gary--has changed from
sand dunes and is the agency that is
Erecting Pittsburg's reinforcement as
the steel center OF the world.
Pfttsburg Wane.
Pittsburg took a half century to gain
this title. Gary is created and the
Calumet region condenses the work of
fifty years into seven. Four have al
ready passed. Three more are yet to
come and then Gary will become the
hub in the region that will from hence

South ChscaGo's Hindrances.
South Chicago which is the western
tip of the crescent that makes up the
Calumet region, Is going to have more
furnaces. But II is crowded com

Interested in Work.

The people of Hammond are very
much interested in the work of the
sand blast stone cleaner that is, being
used on the superior court building
A workingman with his face encased
in a helmet throws the sand blast
through the nozzle of hose on to the
building and the force of the sand is
sufficient to clean the stone
1t is said that the blast Is so strong
and the erosive power of the sand is
so great that the nozzles have to be re-
placed every little while. The build
ing is beautifully cleaned, and the in
vention Is a clever one.

The addition of Tolleston will bring
two more city fathers. One will rep
resent the annexed town which will be
made a ward and the other will be
named councilman at-large.
Although the city council has the
naming of the two municipal legis-
lators, Mayor Knots will dictate their
appointment. It is understood that he
will favor the selection of one demo-
crat and one republican. This will give
the Gary council FIVE republicans and
four democrats but nevertheless Knots
will control it,
MANY WANT THE JOB.
Already is there a clamor on among
the To1leston statesmen who want to
help run Gary. walter Gibson, 1T is
said, wants to be rewarded for his
services in lining up a number of
switchmen for Knots. Gallagher
wants to be compensated for his lost
honors and Al Borman who would like
to have the place and will take any
thing that comes his way
strong rumor was abroad last
night that william Kunert, who made
the race for the republican nomination
for sheriff a few years ago, might be-
come Alderman Kunert.
Frank Borman and Edward Behnke,
who will be travelling for some weeks.
| also aspire to become Gary aldermen.
| The race is said to be between Kunert
| and Al Borman.
SOME OTHER PROBLEMS.
| Marshal Frank Martin will be out of
a job. But he need not worry. His
brother Joe is chief of police of Gary
and Frank. in all probability. will be
created a sergeant or made a lieu
tenant of detectives. In Tolleston's
public schools there are a fold of pretty
| teachers who will have their pay rails
| ed because they will be under Super
| intendent William A. Writ.
Before long Chief Feely of the Gary
| fire department will be wanting an
| other hose cart and company of six
men to keep the new ward from burn
ing down. There will be new streets
and sewers to be built and the Gary
city council Ill have its hands full
in the near future attending to the
| wants OF its newly adopted child.
