SMALL
PLANTS ARE
DOING WELL
While Concerns In Ham
mond Allied With Steel
Situation Complain of Mid
Summer Dizziness In a
Number of Instances.

In its resume of the manufacturing
situation yesterday THE TIMES showed
that all of the industries that are close
ly allied with the steel business are
feeling the condition of unrest which
now prevails. 1t was also shown that
the smaller industries which are not
so closely allied with the steel in
dustry are in a very prosperous condi-
ton. Today THE TIMES is continuing
its investigation along this line.
The Hammond Boiler works reports
that business in the boiler department
is very quiet, while in the foundry de-
partment the company is rushed.
The Hammond Boiler works has been
getting considerable business from the
Standard Steel Car company and the
This has kept the plant very busy dur
ing the summer.
The F'itzhugh- Luther Co. reports that
business is very slack and that the
company is not doing more than one
quarters of the business that it did six
months ago. A number of men were
laid off a month or six weeks ago,
and the company is not looking for
ward to any great improvement in the
near future
w. ]. Stewart of the Stewart Manu-
featuring company reports that his
company has about all the work it
can do 1t has been running with
about six weeks of work ahead for a
long time.
This company gets most of its work
from the various steel plants over the
region. Mr.. Stewart says that he has
noticed the feeling of unrest in the
steel industry, but has not been wor-
rying about it.
He says the people have been edu-
Gated to an extent that they have
learned to remedy bad situations that
arise in the business world. and he
has every reason to believe that the
crisis that is now facing the country
will be met and overcome in the near
future.

Rain WAS
GODSENO FOR
The COUNTY

From all parts of Lake county cor
respondents sent news to THE TIMES
today that welcome and long overdue
showers brought relief to the parch-
ing crops of Lake county yesterday
and the farmers today have taken
new hope. The rains were a life saw
er. but in few places did it pour suf-
fciently to make up for the unusual
drought that came simultaneously with
the warm weather. While it rained
throughout the county, some districts
were more blessed than others. As for
the cities it clarified the atmosphere
and people are breathing freer today
than they did before the rain despite
the cool weather

Especial to THE TIMES. }

Crown Point. Ind, July T. - The
case of the Gary & Southern Trac-
ton Co VS.. the city Of Gary, in which
the traction company seeks to enjotn
the city from interfering with the con-
struction of it's line on South Broad
way, is being heard in the Lake cir
cult court at Crown Point before Judge
William C. McMahan.
The attorneys on both sides are ar
guing the proposition, and it, is not
expected that fs5e- judge will render his
decision today. The Gary & South
ern railroad secured a franchise from
the county commissioners which gave
II the right to use Broadway as far
north as the Little Calumet river
Afterwards the territory between the
Little Calumet river and the Ridge road
was annexed to the city of Gary and
the city at once assumed jurisdiction
over this territory.
When the Gary & Southern attempt
ed to lay its tracksF over that portion
of the street that is now within the
city limits it was prevented from doing
SO by the city of Gary.
The railroad contends that it did not
lose Its rights through the annexation
of this territory by the city of Gary.
1t is believed that 1t will be upheld
by the court, and that the injunction
restraining the city of Gary from in
terfering with the construction of the
line will be granted.

ben breathing the dust laden air for
weeks. However, the sto=m was fol-

MILLER IS
GETTING CHESTY
Never Will the Suburb Get Married
to Gary, it Declares by the An
nexatiOn Process

Miller is getting real ambitious.
In two years it sees itself an incor-
porated city, and, never will under
any circumstances get married to
Gary by the annexation process.
This is the crystallized sentiment
of the citizens of the little town on
Gary's eastern limits which is destin-
ed to play prominent role in Lake
county's industrial activities during
the next decade.
Railroad shops and the American Lo-
comotive company are to locate in the
west end of Miller and when they do
the town will have a gold camp boom.

A SHAME
To TAKE
THE MONEY

Some disappointed sporting men are
laying for DR. j. A Graham and Morris
Champaign of Hammond when they re-
turn home from Reno
DR.. Graham wired Warren Renne of
Whiting when he arrived in Reno.
Have just talked with Sam Fitzpatrick.
Bet all you can on Jefries its a cinch. .
The telegram from Mr. Champaign to
Jack Walker of Hammond read some
thing like this: Have just had a talk
with Corbett. Get all you can down
on Jeffries. He's a winner"
As Mr.. Walker posted with about
$500 in good coin on Mr.. Jeffries, it
will be seen that the Hammond men
were carried away with the general
sentiment at Reno

VOTE MAY
EMBARASS
COMPANY
Alderman Cotton Blocks In
diana Northwestern Trac-
tion Company's Extension
and Matter May Go Over
Until August.

Councilman Fred Cotton's negative
vote al a special council meeting last
night on the question of granting the
Indiana Northwestern Traction com
pany ten-day extension of time for
the filing of it's securities as condition
ed in the franchise, may result in an
embarrassing delay for the company, if
it is in good faith.
The special meeting was called pri-
marily to pass a $500 appropriation
ordinance to cover the cost of building
the lake front refreshrnent stand and
the painting of the bathhousee, and to
adopt the ordinance granting the Tele-
post company franchise in Hammond.
May Call special Meeting.
The question on the extension of time
for the Indiana Northwestern Trac-
ton company was incidental, having
been raised only a few hours before
the meeting. when the officials of the
company received ten-day extension
from the board of public works on the
grounds that the company had been un-
able to close its negotiations with east
ern capitalists for the sale of the
bonds 1t was up to the council to
ratify the boards action and this will
in all proba ability be done at the next
meeting, but by the councils own ac-
tion last night it adjourns until the
first Tuesday in August. 1t may be
possible that a special meeting may be
called. possibly this week, to adopt
the ordinance of extension, for if the
company means business 1t will want
to begin work at once. 1t has no fran
chise until it has fled the $1,000 cash
