CAUSES
UNUSUALLY
LOUD BLAST

A terrific report about 1:55 o'clock
this morning awakened every body in
Gary The blast was one of the loud
est that has ever shaken the city and
it caused much alarm.
For while it was thought that the
Aetna dynamite and nitroglycerine
mills east of the city had hit the skies,
while the night police force were on
the trail of a black hand outrage or a
gamb bling bomb. Anxious wives whose
husbands are employed in the steel
plant feared that liquid steel had
struck water and killed many.
1t was not until early this morning
that 1t was learned that the noise was
caused by Stag explosion in the steel
plant. The molten Stag was being
dumped along the river bank and when
some ~of the fiery stream came in con-
tact with the river the usual results
followed.

MILLER RECLAIMED THROUGH
ITS NEW DRAINAGE SYSTEM

But a few months will intervene be-
tween the time when Miller, Garys
east end and independent suburb will
be drained of the marshes and boys
that have hindered It's progress ever
since its settlement a half century
ago.
The $4,000 Miller drainage ditch is
the vehicle which will serve to carry
the town on the road to prosperity and
the advent OF Gary is furnishing the
motive power. This ditch is rapidly
nearing a finish and only the delay
in some concrete pipes prevents its
sooner completion.
Town Has Area.
Miller embraces strip of land on
the lake front and in the north east
ern part of the county, four miles long
and two miles wide. Along the center
of it's southern border and in a few
clusters along the lake front are its
settled portions. The other seven
square miles is as primitive as 1t was
when the Indians roamed about.
The topography at Miller is very in
teresting. In its confines are the high
est and lowest lands in the county
Back OF the beach line lie hundreds OF
acres of sand dunes of sky scrapeI

marshes that are eterna1ly covered
with water.
AS for the sand dunes, the ice and
sand trust will see that they are event
ually removed and sold at high prices
Just now the ditch problem is being
worked out so as to eliminate the
water and when this is done hundred:

Some other Progress.
Before long Miller is going to be a
very attractive place to live in. It's lake
front is the only decent beach avail
able to the county and some day that
beach is going to be Gary's Lake Shore
drive.
Miller Is also to have electric lights
shortly and work will be started soon
to erect a $1,000 transformer building
and town hall. The current will be
supplied by the South Shore interur-
ban line which passes through the
town. The current will then be re-
tailed by the town to the local con-
sumers.

Trinen summoned Hor1beck of the

they took to their heels running in
three different directions. Lucky for
the two Robertsdale officers, Stelow
and Wallack, two night officers being
