DEPICTS SHOW GREAT IMPROVE
MENT IN The TWIN CITIES

Commercial club of Indiana Harbor and
East Chicago to look into the matter of
the Pennsylvania depot Improvement
and Mayor Schlieker. who We're In con-
f1ict on the proposition, have gotten
together now and are in harmony on
the question. This fact was reported
at the last meeting of the Commercial
club held Wednesday evening.
But to come back to Indiana Harbor
proper. The c., l. & S. has done a great
deal within the past year to beautify
its grounds. It has filled in with black
earth and laid out walks-a fences,
has planted grass seed and brought its
property up to the top notch in this re-
spect. The same thing is true of the
depot grounds at Calumet. which pre-
sent a refreshing sight in the wilder
ness of sand and railroad tracks sad
generally uninviting landscape.
The Pennsylvania also maintains at
tractive grounds about its depot much
to its credit and which lend attraction
to the locality in which the depot
stands.
All of which does much toward estab-
fishing a favorable impression in the
minds of strangers visiting the city.

EDITORIAL

Yesterday came the cheerful intelli-
gence that Indiana Harbor is to have
a new $4,000 Methodist church.
News of this kind is always welcome.
A town can scarcely have too many
churches The fact that the people of
comparatively new city like Indiana
Harbor, have money to spare for such
a purpose, augurs prosperity and de-
sire for things higher than the mere
necessities, and the luxuries of life, as
viewed from a worldly standpoint.
The Methodist church is not the only
improvement of this kind that has come
TO Indiana Harbor recently. 1t is only
within the past year or so that new
Baptist church has been built and a
new Christian church as well, and the
Catholic churches, both ST. Patrick S
and the Polish Catholic church have i'm
proved and repaired extensively so that
their properties are highly creditable to
their congregations.
Further than this Indiana Harbor
may look forward to the building In
the not very distant future of ar
Episcopal church. for an organization
with such an object In view has beer
formed within the past few months and
is growing apace.
Judging from all of which indica
lions, it becomes appartnet that indiana
Harbor's spiritual side is not being
overlooked. what time it's citizens arr
piling up wealth without which even
reasonable amount of religion is apt t.
be neglected.

Especial to THE TrMEsl

Indiana Harbor, Sept 23.-There
seems a growing disposition on the
part of the various railroads having de-
pots in Indiana Harbor and East Chi
cago, to improve their holdings. The
latest railroads to evince this DISPOSE
tion are the Lake Shore in the Har-
Dor, which has started something in
the way of Improvement, and the Wa
bash and Pennsylvania in East Chicago.
The wabash has added greatly to the
appearance of it's depot grounds by
grading all around and filing in with
fine crushed stone, making a tidy ap-
pearance where heretofore the grounds
have been an eyesore to the city, the
depot occupying as 1t does a position
almost opposite to the city hall and
right in the heart of the city.
The Pennsylvania has also com
menced something in the way Of i'm
provement, filing in Johnson street
with cinders, and tidying up generally.
The Pennsylvania has recently promised
to either build new depot or remodel
the old one. and is interesting to note
| that the committee appointed by the

COMMERCIAL CLUB OF
TWIN CITIES MEETS
Many Important Topics Are
Brought Up for Dis
cussion There.

Indiana Harbor, Sept. 22.-The regu-
lar meeting of the Commercial club of
Indiana Harbor and East Chicago took
place last night and many topics were
brought up for discussion.
A proposition was preached relating
to an entertainment of some sort to
take place in the near future. A num-
Der of members had different views as
to what form the entertainment should
take one suggesting something in the
vaudeville line, another a banquet for
members only, and another a box social
in which the women be invited. Still
others though that the money necess-
airy to cary out anything along this
line. might be better used in sending a
committee to Washington to push the
canal and harbor project before con-
gress. Nothing definite was arrived at
and the matter will be taken up at
future meeting.
communication from the secretary
OF the Indiana Federated Commercial
club with headuarters at Anderson, was
read. inviting the club to unite with
the federation and appoint a delegation
to attend the convention which will
meet at Anderson Nov. 16 and II. Judge
Hembroff moved that the communica-
ton be favorably acted upon and a
| committee appointed to attend the con-
vention. Attorney J. d. Kennedy re-
quested that the Appointment of the
committee be deferred, and this course
was decided upon.
! w. ]. Riley, c. A. Westberg and H. C.
Rutledge were appointed a committee
to prepare pamphlets setting forth the
Possibilities of the Twin cities, to be
sent broadcast The question of pass
eneer boats stopping at Indiana Har-
bcr was brought up and Secretary
Putledge said he new of one passenger
line which was DESTROYS of maing stops
both at Indiana Harbor and Gary.
John L. Farvoid advised that the fact
be published that the charge for the
use of the billiard and pool tables had
been taken off as this might have the
result of increasing the patronage by
me mbers of the club.

Indiana Harbor, Ind. Sept. 22.-The
to put up a handsome $4,000 church
building at the southeast corner of
Grapevine and 135th streets.
The building will be modern and at
tractive and will be a great addition to
the city. 1t Will be of brick with stone
trimmings and its auditorium will be
sufficiently large to seat 400. people
with comfort.
Plans for the structure will be sub
mitted to local contractors this week,
and 1t is expected that work will be
commenced in the near future.
1t Is the intention of the trustees to
tear down the old building and make
the proposed edifice entirely new. The
old building has been standing for sew
en- years and has. in the opinion of the
congregation. pastor and trustees, out
lived it's usefulness.
The new structure will be handsome
within as we'll as of syTnme trfcal archi-
tectural lines, and substantial appear
ance without. Its basement will be d.
vided into roomy church parlors, a
dining room and kitchen. The interior
finish will be of hard pine and oak and
the ceiling will be finished in rough
beam effect. The building will have a
slate roof, and will. in fact, be sub
stantial in every detail of its construc-
tfon.
Much credit is due Rev. Ivy, the pas
tor of the church, for the work now in
hand, he having worked most faithfully
