OF BUSINESS
IS PROMISED

The Incorporation of the Calumet
Concrete Construction company of
Hammond last week with a capital
stock of $4,000. was preparatory step
for the expansion of the business which
is contemplated
Conrad Markmueller, the president of
the company. said this morning that it
was the intention of the company to
begin the erection of a cement block
plant. The building will be located on
Florence avenue, near Chicago avenue,
and will be 40x100 feet. 1t is expected
that in the course of time about twen-
ty men will be employed.
The Calumet Concrete Construction
company has been in operation for
more than a year. but confined its ac-
tivities mainly to the construction of
cement garbage boxes, and more par
ticularly sidewalks.
Realizing the big demand for cement
block houses, plans were formed to
meet this demand. and already the
company has many orders in advance
Albert Rose of Chicago became in
terested in the cement house business.
and he intends to build number of
them in Hammond.

French underwear for ladies. The man

that this was the first time that such
a large stock of handmade imported

Hammond market.
All the margain hunters in Lake
county have come to look forward to
the Lion stores annual mill end sale.
Among the mill end specialties will be

The worst blizzard of the winter

sided at midnight, from five to six
inches of snow fell.
The snow was driven by a north

the fact that it was heavily laden with
moisture. Judging from the experience
of the railroads, the storm was tfe

SAYS IT WAS
A GOOD BILL

Indianapolis, Ind. Feb. 5. The
present veterinary laws of Indiana are
as good as those of any state in the
Union" said Edward w. Wickey of
East Chicago to number of repre-
sentatives gathered in the lobby of the
English hotel yesterday. Il know the
law is a good one, as 1 was the author
of the bill introduced two years ago.
There is but one lame section in the
whole law, and that is the appropria-
tion to run the department This should
be increased to $4,000, and so far as
the stockmen and feeders interest is
concerned there is absolute protection,
and the health interest is well cared
for Mr.. Wickey was a representative
from Lake county two years ago, and
devoted a large part of his time to the
preparation of the veterinary bill.

SAYS It IS MERELY
A MATTER OF TINE
Lake County's Senator Be.
lieves That Hammond Bill
Will Be Signed Soon.

Senator Frank Gavit of Lake coun-
ty was in Hammond Saturday night
after another week at the state capital.
He says that the passage of the Ham
mond court bill is merely matter of
time.
The bill will pass the house some
time this week, and will then go to
the senate committee 1t is believed
that 1t will be reported out at once
and that it will not require many days
for to go to its final passage and be
signed by the governor.
Senator Gavit said that he would be
willing to father bill to give Cary a
municipal court of enlarged jurisdic-
ton. providing the people of Gary want
such a court
The senator the center of a
crowd of admiring friends in Hammond
Saturday night, and told of many of
his experiences as a legislator. He
told of his experiences with a group
of woman suffragists and told many
stories which indicate how hard it is
for a senator to represent as varies
constituency as he has in Lake county.

TIMES BUREAU,

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 6.-The sa-
loon business will be different kind
of a business in Indiana if the saloon
regulation bill which was introduced
by Senator Proctor, of Elkhart, be-
comes a law. The BILL was regarded as
a strict regulative and restrictive meas
ure when it was introduced, but some
of the senators did not believe it was
strong enough, they spent three
days in a discussion of it and in that
time they added just thirty amend
ments, every one of them making the
bill stronger and more restrictive. 1t
looks now like there is little left to
be done to make the bill as strong a
regulative measure as even the most
radical anti-saloon advocate could wish,
so long as saloons are to exist in In

increased the number of saloons per-

Caldwell & Drake now have con-
tract to buy all of the 222 feet of Hoh-

price of $3.50 front foot This pur-
chase is only on condition that Cald-
house. The first forty feet had been
sold for $500 a front foot and an option
on the next ten feet had been given
