NECESSARY
LINKS SOON
TO BE MADE

According to c. p. Burton, of the Co.
Operative Construction company which
has built all OF the lines of the Gary
& Interurban Railway and the Chicago
New York Air Line, the necessary links
are soon to be built that will connect
Hammond and Gary with East Gary
and Laporte and all of the other cities
on branch and main lines of this sys-
tenn.
In communication TO THE TIMES
Burton says:
w on may be interested to know that
we have ordered 600 tons of Bessemer
steel rails, car of track spikes, $4,000
ties and other material and supplies to
be delivered as soon as possible at East
Gary for the immediate construction of
an electric railway from Gary to East
Gary. The steel rails were ordered
from the Illinois Steel company
TT will not take long to lay this
track after the material is on the
ground. and Gary thus soon will have
what 1t seems to greatly desire, electric
car service to the east. We shall enter
Gary a private right of way and will
connect with the Gary & Interurban at
Broadway.
The Gary-E East Gary line Will be a
part of what is known the Air Line
system. The entire gap between Gary
and Goodrum will be completed as soon
as possible. 1t looks now as If this
work would be finished by the close of
the year if not before. This will give
Gary and the Calumet district electric
car service to the resorts on Flint and
Long Lakes, Valparaiso. Chesterton
Laporte, Goshen. the Michigan fruit
belt, Winona Lake and indianapolis.
The building of this line Will open
to settlement from Gary the beautiful
Deep river valley and will make VAL
paraiso, Chesterton, Porter and Laporte
residential suburbs OF Gary. 1t will
give the people of the Calumet district
easy access to one of the prettiest
groups of lakes in the middle west.
Best of all, 1t will give them an I'M
failing supply of foodstuffs brought
fresh each day from the gardens. dali

A GAME WITH
GARY TEAM

Indiana Harbor, July finland Of
ficials will take an afternoon off to-
morrow to witness a game between
the Indiana Harbor Northern Indiana
league team and the Gary Works team
at Gary.
The challenge to play was issued by
the Gary Works team and the battle
is expected to be a hard fought one. It
will be the first game played on the
steel company's grounds between In
diana Harbor and the local team.
Aside from the pitcher the Harbor
lineup will be the same usual. Bud
Evans, formerly of Whiting, will take
this end of the Harbor battery for the
occasion. The team will leave the
Pennsylvania depot at 1853. but it is
expected that the bulk of the crowd of
fans who will be on hand to root for
them will go to Gary via the Lake
Shore. leaving on the 2:3s. 1t is un-
derstood that large crowd will attend
from the Harbor.

Mariner OF invaluable assistance in
maintaining their dignity. Captain
Mariner elected any and all who had
sfurrtng remarks TO make regarding
their decisions. proving himself no re-
specter of persons and dealing alike
with prominent and the most humble
of tho sassy fans. BY this process of
elimination he managed to collect 1901
the one cent being accounted for in this
wise. A very fresh citizen was led from
the grand stand after saying perfectly
horrid things about how things were
being conducted. When frisked II was
found he had only Al cents. Captain
Mariner, being a human man allowed
him to retain 10 cents for care fare and
conscated the remaining 81 cents. He
thought the one cent might come In
handy in buying postal card for a
notice to hale n member of the United
Charities to meeting next winter.
Another example OF Captain Mariners
business acumen was noted when he
spied Julius Friedman's driver and a
companion standing up in their wagon
just outside the fence. and pausing to
watch the game. Captain Mariner
promptly sailed forth to the wagon and
made the men dig up the price of adj

Thus by the sweat of his brow, did
Capt Mariner realize the 1901. One
hundred and fifty dollars was realized
by the sale of boxes and the gate re-

young ladies who have had the task OF
selling tickets in advance is not yet in

of the prots will not be known.

BUSINESS

GREAT GAME
Especial to THE TIMEs.l

Indiana Harbor. Ind, July 1.-THE
baseball game between the business
men of East Chicago and Indiana Har-
Dor at the Harbor ball park yesterday

been expected. but the preponderance of

deeds upon the cid. Reports ire not all

ed and the score was IL to in favor
of East Chicago. 1t had been framed
up by the umpires to have the game n
tie. but their plans miscarried owing
to the introduction of some players not
originally figured on who were not wise
to the arrangements.

the grandstand and fining them for
their impudence.
1t would be out of the question to
name all OF the good men and true who
participated in the game, who held
themselves in reserve on the bench for
such service. Most of the business men
OF both towns were to be found among
their numbers. The following is how

Would Have Home Rule.
In both communities the scheme has
the usual amount of opposition which
develop as soon as new idea is pro-
mulgated, the stock argument of the
opposition being that the taxes would
be raised. Without admitting that
statement as a fact, the town boosters
cite the many advantages that grow out
of government for community At
the most they say the tax would be ONLY
a few cents higher than the township
and for this the community in return
would be placed on the map as a cor
poration which conducts its own affairs
TO the advantage of the community and
not to the township at large The in
|corporated town conducts it's own school
affairs and maintains school board
Another great advantage that 1t argued
In favor of the Incorporation and one
that will sooner or later be a burning
question in the communities is the
question of granting franchises to in
terurban and other corporations I'm
less these towns are Incorporated. the
corporations seeking right of way Sc
cure their permission from the county
commissioners without being RESPONSE
Bile to the unincorporated towns Under
those circumstances an interurban run
ming through either one of these towns
could stop its cars when and where Ii
pleased, and even lay its track subject
to the will of the county commissioners
without taking into consideration the
wishes of the people Were the towns
incorporated however, the town board
could dictate the terms to the interur-
ban, what ever corporation is seeking
franchise
Could Spend Money mt Home.
Money now collected for street repairs
of the township. whereas under the
town government the money would be
spent by the people who raise it. The
un-incorporatcd settlements must rely
on the county sheriff for their protec-
ton. whereas the neighboring communi-
ties who arc incorHora ted arc maintain
ing law and order with the assistance Of
a town marshall.
scanvass of the towns who have
within the past few years adopted the
town form of government in Lake coun-
~ shows that none of them would will

went through all the pains and groans
incident TO Incorporation Is satisfied to
day, and those who were nursing the
high tax bogy find that they are pay
ing only fifteen cents more than they
would have to pay the township.
