Chicago.
Dear Sir:--That whereas, Indiana
Harbor is now an accomplished fact and
government harbor and its future as
sured;
That whereas. the great future de-
velopment of our country is to the
south;
That whereas. the completion, and
opening of the Panama canal will to
great extent change the great trend Of
transportation from east and west to
north and south; especially In export
trade;
That whereas. an all water line of
transportation beginning at Indiana
Harbor, connecting by canal with the
streams of Indiana that ultimately
empty into the Ohio, to the Mississippi
| to the Gulf, will be the shortest all
water route from the Great Lakes to
the Gulf of Mexico and to the Panama
Canal:
| That whereas, we believe the con-
| structlon of such a canal and water
way is practical both in cost and tins
of obstruction and maintenance and its
value would be inestimable not only to
this immediate locality but to the state
and nation;
! Therefore. be it Resolved. That this
ItiuD 10 recommend the OF
| an association to be known as .Indi-
ana Harbor to the Gulf Waterway AS
ISOLATION
| Further, be it Resolved: That to this
END a convention shall be called to meet
at Indiana Harbor the 10th day of May
1912 for the purpose of perfecting such
an organization and that all NUM-
lcipalities of Indiana and especially
ialong the natural line of this water
route from Indiana Harbor to the Ohie
river and all clubs and organiza tions
that have and take a part in matters o.
public interest, and all individuals. cor
operations and firms having an interes
be requested to send delegates and bt
lpresent' at such convention and take
part in the formation of such an asso
citation.
Further. That a copy of this resoiu
{ ton be sent to the papers in all com
munities along the route and also t
5 the municipa lities, clubs and organiza
: lions that might send delegates.
[ Further, That a committee of in
, Guiding the President and Vice Presi

: President of this club to have charg

ceiving blanks-which they are request
ed to fill out approximating the
amount of money which should have
been due them for serving writs, sum-
monses, processes, subpoenas, venires
and notices between. jan i, 1905, and
Dec. 81, 1908, which charges were coll
lected by the proper officers and turn
ed over to the county treasurer
An organization has been formed
and an attempt is being made by ex-
sheriffs to secure these fees. A test
case has just been tried in Brown
county and the decision of the court
is being awaited with no small
amount of interest, that it may be
taken to the supreme court for final
action, which will probably be taken
in the spring.

TOTS ARRIVE ON
LONG XMAS TRIP

Mrs. William Hubert OF Fourth
street and Borman boulevard, Tolles-
ton, was an anxious mother last night
and for a while today. Last night her
two little girls. five and six years old,
respectively. We're to have arrived in
Tolleston from Denver, where they had
been visiting with their grandparents.
The children were unaccompanfed on
their long trip from the Rocky noun
talns, being left in care of the train
men.
1t was arranged that upon the ar
rival of the little passengers in the
union depot at Chicago that the chill
dren were to be placed upon a Penn
sylvania train which would bring them
to Tolleston. Somehow or other con-
nections were missed and the young
sters were taken in tow by the Chi
cago ~o1ice-
Last night the Chicago departmen mt
informed tho Gary police of their
charges and this morning, with the as
sistance of the local officers. Mrs. HUI
bert came into possession of her chill
dren.

URGES RIGID
SPLITTING LAW

DR.. W. r. King. assistant secretary
of the state board of health, declar-
ing that the fault of most of the anti
splitting ordinances of the state lies in
fact that 1t is not made the particular
business of any person to enforce
them. has prepared to publish in the
forthcoming annual report of the
board model ordinance making it the
specific duty of any peace officer to
arrest persons violating the ordinance.
Now 1t seems to be nobody's bust
ness who splits anywhere said DR..
King. Il would like to have it so a
policeman seeing any one splitting on a
sidewalk would be required to arrest
the offender at once, just as he is re-
qpired to arrest man he secs strike
another"
The model ordinance also contains
considerable material regulating the
placing of cuspidors in public places.
together with their care. 1t proposes
to increase the powers OF local health
officers concerning the offense, which
DR.. King says is growing as a nuis-
ance.

priced business has put them.
What is counted on by those who
predict large things for 1912. is that
orders now on hand will carry them
well into March at high rate of out
put. and that spring business viii then
be sufficient to fill up their books be-
yond the middle of the year.
The accumulation of large forward
orders at low prices has operated in
contrary ways. 1t has enabled pro-
ducers to take a stand for higher prices
and at the same time has led doubters
to question why more space was not
reserved for the higher priced busi-
ness predicted for 1912.
Furnaces Work Through Holidays.
Actual market developments have
plainly modified selling policies, as in
dictated by the establishment of 1.15c
Pittsburgh for steel bars in the last
week and by the disappearance of re-
cent low prices for structural shapes
and plates.
1T had been expected that a mum Der
of blast furnaces of the steel corpora
ton would be banked oyer the holt
days, but the order has been given to
operate them as usual. Several addi-
tons to the list of the corporation
active furnaces are scheduled for jan

one of pure enthusiasm. 1t was full of
mea. 1t gave statistics to prove that
the project was not a mere visionary
concoction. but that it had a genuinely
tangible foundation
Important to Region.
The Importance of the undertaking
to this region, cannot be over-estimat-
ed. If carried out it would make In
diana Harbor and incidentally all Of the
Calumet region cities, of the foremost
Importance in the country. 1t would
solve the problem of sewerage for all
the cities of the region, of such vital
Importance from sanitary standpoint.

tary to the lakes

are backing UP the project. so Mr.
Dickey told the club last night, while
the members sat spell-bound under his
splendid talk
Some of the facts he pointed out as
favorable over the route of which the
Chicago drainage canal would be a
part, should that course be chosen
were as follows:
The course is 125 miles shorter than
| the Illinois course.
The only digging that would be
necessary would be from Indiana Har-
| Dor canal to some point on the Tippe-
canoe river, distance of not over
thirty miles or Whereabouts. Practical
ly the same course proposed in Mr..
Dickey's talk. has already been survey
| ed by United States engineers some
years ago, and pronounced feasible The
| Tippecanoe could then be dredged and
| the Wabash put in shape to for links in
the great chain of waterways that
would combine to form the great trans
continental waterway
j The government has already appro :
Ipriated $40. 900 for the Improvement
fof the Ohio river. so this would be that
lmuch toward the waterway in case the
l.Ohio river route is chosen.
The canal would drain the great Kan
kakee swamp benefiting the land and
deriving a considerable quantity OF
water from this source and thus con-
lserving the waters of the great lakes
mother source of supply toward films

be the water derived from the large
areas of water soaked sand with whicf

kANkAkEE AREA
MAY Be Trained

Washington. Dec. 21.-A preliminary
plan looking to the drainage of vast
area of land in the Kankakee swamps
of Indiana will soon be presented to
congress by Senator Shively
1t is estimated that at least 500, 900
acres can be reclaimed and made to
blossom as the rose. At present this
land is practically worthless, being
subject to overflow beyond the possi-
bility of cultivation.
The resolution which Senator Shive-
~ will introduce as the first step to-
ward national aid in improving the
Kankakee provides:
There shall be appointed by the sec
retaries of agriculture, war and com
merce and labor a board of three ex-
aminers, one of the members of which
shall be assigned to its duties from
each OF said departments, and one OF
whom shall be a civil engineer. to
make an examination of the Kankakee
river at and in the vicinity of the
boundary line dividing the states of
Indiana and Illinois to determine as to
the necessity and practicability of re-
moving distractions from it and
strengthening its channels and other
wise improving it. so as to cause the
continuous and uninterrupted ffowage
of its waters
