made necessary by the construction of
the ditch and the drainage of the land
When the matter was first taken up by
the county commissioners of Porter
county, the railroads were allowed $42,-
900. Judge Stiles, after a trial which
lasted the greater part of seven weeks,
decide dthat the companies were not
entitled to recover any damages what
ever.
The contention of the railroad COM
pany was that it would be impossible
to construct the proposed ditch or ca
nal through the sand to Lake Michi-
gan, and some of the best hydraulic
engineers in the country, including
Engineer Randolph of Panama canal
fame, were witnesses in the case. 1t
was the consensus of opinion among
the engineers, however. that it would
be possible to construct the canal, and
it was upon this that Judge Sites rend-
cred his decision. Some of the land to
be effected by the proposed canal has
been assessed $40 an acre benefits

MEN SO
BACK TO
LAbORS

The Gary rail mill which has been
down since the first of December re-
sumed operations this morning, taking
back all the former employees who were
employed and number of other addi-
tional men.
AS there are only three blast
furnaces Nos 6, and s in operation
at the present time the starting of the
rail mill resulted in the shut down of
the billet mill which has been in opera
ton together with the merchant bar
mills Cor the past few months.
1t is thought by steel mill officials
that the rail mill will be kept in opera
ton from this time on as a number of
orders have been received which in
clude an order of 1000 tons of standard
rails for a western road, 5000 tons for
the Chicago and Erie railroad and
tentative order from an eastern road
for 5000 tons. In all it is said that
the local mills has orders booked for
about $4,000 tons of open hearth rails
which will keep the rail mill in opera
ton until further orders are booked.
The general tons of the iron and steel
business has more promising outlook
than it has for some months past
Numerous inquiries have been made for
steel rails and it is thought several
subordinate orders will be booked in
the very near future. The Baldwin Lo-
connective works in the east have more
orders ahead at the present than they
have had for years and the outlook for
business in the east is more than
promising.
! At the local plant, there are four
blast furnaces down at the present
time. Furnaces number 9. 10. IL and
/ IL are being repaired and put in shape
Ready for operation when the time
comes. Eleven open hearth furnaces
are furnishing steel for the rail and
merchant mills.

OWEN 'MAlLEY AFTER
CHICAGO PHONE co,

Residents of Gary living below
Twenty fifth avenue have started q
revolution against the. Chicago Tele-
phone company with Owen O'Malley
leading the braves to battle. In a pc
tition to the city council last night the
signatories averred that the phone
service is bad and bad to such an ex-
tent that many good Gary burghers
get no service at all.
1t is further alleged that the com
pany does not live up to it's agreement
and that it takes a year after signing
to get phone. The citizens further saw
that the lack of phones where they
should be inconvenience them in times
of emergency. This petition will re-
ceive the attention of the committee on
streets and alleys.
