u. S. STEEL co. GIVES
FOREIGNERS LOW RENT
Squatters Only Paying One
Dollar Per Year In
Gary For Homes.

People throughout the country can
talk about the hoggishness of the
United States steel Corporation. but in
more WAYS than one they are the most
liberal IF all the trusts in existance.
Where in this country is there a pri-
vate company or corporation that will
allow tenants to live on their property
for 81 per year? This is what the COM
pany is doing in Gary and henceforth
all squatters on the Gary Land COM
pany's properties will be compelled to
pay 81 rental
For years scores of families have
lived in Gary without paying one cent
for rent All that was necessary was
TO secure permission of the Gary Land
company to erect shacks and squat on
the land until such time as the COM
pany notified them to move.
When orders were issued by the com
pany a few months ago to move off the
territory west of Broadway and north
of Fifth avenue, the company had some
trouble in busting the squatters from
the premises. Two shacks which are
still occupied remain today.
The land company was put to some
trouble in this and rather than have a
repetition of II in the future, the legal
department of the steel company sug-
gesed that it would be safer to have
each squatter sign a lease requiring a
payment of 81 per year for the privilege
All that is necessary for the company
to do now is, to 81 vethe squatters 80
days notice and they are compelled to
vacate-
Over one hundred leases have been
received from the head officers of the
company in Chicago which will be sign
ed by as many negros and foreigners
on the south side in order that they
may have the right to occupy the land
where their shacka now stand

The work of changing the channel of
the Calumet river is nearing compile

the river has given to the stee, com
pany several thousands of acres of
which would otherwise have been I'M

which would have been at all times
entirely useless unless the present
method OF procedure had bee adopted
Stein and Lamb, the contractors. hav-
ing this work in charge. have been at
work on the channel for months and
have employed on the work upwards of
one hundred men. three steam shoveIs
and multitude of dinky engines. cars.
horses and other accessories. The
channel which they have excavated
runs directly east from the river at
the Broadway bridge to a point one
and half miles away at which 1t again
joins the old river bed.
At the present moment there are two
steam shovels at work in the channel
Both Of these shovels have been eouip-
ped. from time to time. with the latest
appliances for moving dirt and sand
and have been kept necessarily at
work. The width of the channel is
fifty feet This is the property of the

II is worth a trip out to this channel
TO observe the work which resembles
a miniature Panama Canal. There are
four trains at work constantly taking
away sand dug from the channel by the
shovels and transferring it TO the old
bed of the river and the marshes with

In addition to this channel work this
firm OF contractors, which was the first
to move sand in Gary, is doing the
work on the new extension of Fifth

GARY IS
FOUR YEARS
OLD TODAY

Gary's government was organized
four years ago today. July IA. 1906
On that date an election was held to
determine whether the community
should be Incorporated into a town.
There were thirty nine voters and all
of the pioneers but one voted yes. "
The thirty ninth one didn't see the
necessity of it so he voted no Since
then he has undoubtedly changed his
views
1t was from this day that the govern
ment organization dates. A few DAYS
later the county commissioners met in
special session an approved the cleo
ton.
Shortly after the town trustees
Thomas E. Knots, John Sears and
Willard Caldwell held their first meet
ing. oliver Holmes was there as town
clerk and Judge Louis A. Bryan had
the title of town treasurer but there
wasn't a cent in the towns strong box
On August IS the town board held a
session and as Gary was rather reck :
less it decided to appoint a police
marshal Frank Chambers, now town
ship constable, was given the Job be-
cause the board understood that he
was, highly recommended, cool cour-
ageous and a good shot" Mr. Cham
bers then named three patrolmen, Chief
Joseph E. Martin being among the
numb Der.
l. L. Bomberger of Hammond was
appointed town attorney and A. P Mel
ton of the steel company's forces town
engineer. Thus Gary's municipal de-
partments were thoroughly organized
When the first election was held the
trustees were elected unanimously but
oliver Holmes beat Billy Walsh now
superintendent of the merchants mills
by nine votes. Walsh also ran against
Treasurer Bryan but the latter arrived
on the safe side by just one vote.

Especial to THE T1xEsl

Indiana Harbor, July 14---It is grad
ually leaking out that P. ]. Swank. a
roller in the sheet mill has been mar
ried. Residents of the new Lincoln ho-
tel have observed a comedy little lass
in company with the stalwart Swank
at breakfast. luncheon and dinner. The
young lady was a new conner to In
diana Harbor and 1t all looked mighty
suspicious. But whenever a too Curl
Gus friend of Mr.. Swank approached
him with his suspicious. he denied the
soft impeachment.
However. when a Mrs. Masterson. of
Robertsdaie visited the hotel and asked
whether her daughter was registered
there, and was told that a young girl
OF the description she furnished was
stopping at the hotel. but was register
ed as Mrs Swank, a few explanations
were necessary. Mr.. Swank was the
person who had to furnish the explain
ations and backing these up with the
necessary documentary credentials, Mrs
Masterson went away apparently salts
fed.
But all of these things did not escape
the notice Of certain acute individuals

who twitted Swank about his mother
in-law. and cracked sundry other jokes
lat Mr. Swank's expense. Even then no
admissions were forthcoming. but the
truth was forced out of the happy hus-
band when he was discovered in the
wake of his child wife, carrying sundry
bandboxes suspiciously suggestive of
containing feminine apparel which he
was carefully transferring from one car
TO the other at the point where the
big One Hundred and Forty-firs street
sewer breaks the traffic of the Indiana
Harbor branch OF the South Shore
lines
1t was all of then. Swank simply
had to confess that the pretty little
lass who is still in short skirts and
looks like a school girl, was indeed his
bride
I'VE went over to ST Joe on the
Fourth and did the trick" shyly ad-
mitted the proud Mr.. Swank while his
little bride blushed like a peony." We
were going to keep it quiet for a little
while, but I guess it's all off"
Mrs. Swank's name was Myrtle Mas
terson before her marriage and she
is said to have been very popular
among the younger set in Robertsdale.

poor thing to put a. street car fran
chise in a committees hands on its
third reading
Despite this the franchise went into
the hands of a committee consisting OF
Aldermen Castleman. Feuer and
Bowser.
Castleman to the Rescue.
Following this came the critical
moment of the meeting. The clerk
arose to advance the Gary and Inter
urban franchise to its third reading
Every one was on the alert. The Com
msrcial club committee which was on
hand to protest against bad franchises
became attentive. Alderman Rowley
the fighting man in the council set his
jaws and was ready for action
All looked at Alderman Castleman
It was but natural that they should dc
so as he has been fathering the Gary
and Interurban franchise request which
is about as notorious a demand as ever
came up before any city council
Castleman was the cynosure for every
one
Gavft Franchise saved From Death
Castleman saw that the odds might
be against him so he took no chances
Seeing that the life OF the McAleer
franchise was saved by preventing its
third reading and referring it to a
committee he proceeded TO do like wise
and his motion to this effect was sec
onded by Mr.. Bowser. The mayor nam
ed Rowley. Feuer and Szymanski as the
committee
1t was to this move thar Herman
Feuer also entered vigorous objec-
ton He wanted the franchise disposed
of at once. knowing that. If such were
the case that. its immediate considera-
ton would mean its death. Herman
Rowley insisted on its third reading
which would have the same effect but
, the comprise as mentioned in the pre-
ceding paragraph was agreed upon.
Reasons for the Delay.
Summing up the whole franchise
business it is found that the council
made practically no Roadway in the
matter. II simply put the question of
until later date
Perhaps the different sides had other
motives than the fear of the strength
of each other for delaying the battle
This may possibly be found in the fact
that the council will shortly elect two
more councilmen making a total OF
nine. These extra ones come in by
reason of the annexation of Tolleston
and If the franchises are delayed until
then which ever side manages to get
the two votes can swing the franchise
question to suit itself.

For Perfect Health.

In order to support life and growth
and to maintain the strength and eff-
cheney of the human body, some things
are absolutely necessary Among
these. named perhaps in order of i'm
portance, are: Pure air. wholesome
nutritious food. unbroken sleep and
some form of muscular exercise.
