Organized labor in the Calumet
region, was on parade in Hammond yes
terday and never before were the hun
dreds of spectators, who lined the curbs
to see the marchers, so impressed with
the dignity of labor, as yesterday when
they saw the members of the various
crafts from the different cities in the
county march to the rhy thm of tuneful
music.
The OCCASION brought out the largest
crowd that Kinders Grove has ever
known, for a picnic which was held un--
der the auspices of the Lake County
Trades and Laber Council.
Headed by the members of the city
administration. and a platoon of police
in uniform. the long column of union
men began to move at ten o'clock, under
the direction OF Barnie Carter, the
grand marshal of the day. 1t was ap-
parent at once that the marchers were
in a happy frame of mind. Banner
after banner carried ahead of the din
erent locals came forward and behind
them the members of the crafts, garbed
in a uniform suitable for the day.

Der and the decorations and designs In
a general review it would apear rather
improper to dwell on particulars, but
the Lion Store float was the subject of
such general comment for its design.
and color scheme, as TO deserve special
mention. The float was a fancifuI sc :
sign in which the idea was to furnish a
huge canopy underneath which sat a
pretty school girl The body of the
canopy was white and the trimmings pur-
pie.
The picnic at KindeTs Grove had all
the usual attractions. but the most faci-
mating thing about the whole affair was
the immense crowd. At times it was so
dense as to be almost uncomfortabie-
1t was after midnight when the last
merry -makers left the grove for their
homes.
The various committeeman are very
well satisfied with the outcome. They
consider the picnic to have been a sue
cess socially and financially, and al-
though lot of hard work was entasled,
they feel that their efforts have not
been in vain.

HUE ANDCRY
AGAINST ALL
THE RESORTS
Hammond Men Who Rent
Houses in West Hammond
For Immoral Purposes
May Be Brought Into the
Courts.

A well-known Hammond man who
owns property in West Hammond
stated today that the resorts had ruin
ed his property. He has a number of
fat buildings in the vicinity of the red
light district, and he stated that it is
almost impossible to rent such proper
ty to respectable people.
He declares that he received a num-
ber OF applications from good tenants
only TO find that they would not rent
his property on account of its proximity
10 the resorts
He says that it is the hardest thing
in the world to get and keep good ten
ants. He declares that the whole
neighborhood is ruined and that prop
erly values have been lowered by the
vicious conditions there.
He declares that he is not surprised
that disreputables come to the neigh
borhood. for it is the only place in the
city where they are allowed to stay.
Hurts Property Values.
Henry Iindner said today that he
heartily approved of the crusade that
has been started against the resorts in
West Hammond. He declared that in
his opinion the raid that was made on
the Colonial hotel few days ago was
merely blind. He said that the people
OF West Hammond knew that the po-
lice officers there. would not kill the
goose that lays the golden eggs.
He points out that only one place
was raided and that all OF the others
we're not molested. He says that con-
dttions were just as bad last Sunday

GuIf Has Shrunk.

A map of California published In
1925, by the geographer to the King
of France, shows the Gulf of Cali
fornia as extending along the entire
eastern boundary of the State and
connecting with the Pacific Ocean at
Puget Sound. The map was made
from drawings and accounts furnished
by the early navigators. While it is
certain that the Gulf of California
never extended to the Puget Sound
country it surely did extend very far
north of its present boundary. Fifty
years ago the Indians OF the Colorado
desert told how their fathers had
told them at some period in the past
a ship was to be seen partially buried
in the drifting sands where the Salton
Sea now covers the land. This bears
out the statement that the gulf ex-
tended far north of its present bound
airy and was navigable to some ex-
ent.-Yuma Sentenil.

West that are being endangered
through the alfalfa lead weevil which
has wrought great damage to the
alfalfa producing sections in the
vicinity of Salt Lake City, Utah.
The known instances of the spread
of this great pest in Colorado and
other sections of the country has
emphasized the necessity of some
thing being done that will insure the
checking of the alfalfa leaf weevil
before it is too late. The Boards of
Trade of Phoenix and MaricoIa
County have sent memorials to Con-
gress to meet the enemy of alfalfa,
and it is recited in the document that
10000 acres is devoted to alfalfa in
Arizona. OF this, $1,000 acres is in
the Salt River irrigation project of
the United States Reclamation
Service On basis of $3.50 an acre
the investment in Arizona is shown
to be sufficiently large to warrant
care being taken to prevent harm
falling to the industry. 1t is said in
relation to the alfalfa leaf weevil
that the danger through direct fight
is not great and if the pest can be
isolated, its spread may be prevented.
The real danger however, most
feared, is that the weevil will be
carried in railroad cars starting from
the affected district in Utah. and thus
carrying the weevils into the interior
of other alfalfa regions. AS the
from Utah is directed
largely into the vicinity of the alfalfa
fields of Kansas, this latter section is
in considerable danger. The warning
issued by the Arizona people, if
needed, will no doubt eventually save
the alfalfa interests of the country
many millions of dollars in the des-
truction of crops.

Arizona Oil Lands Withdrawn.

Perhaps the almost reckless location
of oil land in the vicinity of Tucson
and at Bowie in Cochise county may
not prove amiss after all, for there
might not be another chance. The
government is realizing that the
petroleum lands in the public land
states constitute the most important
natural resource remaining in the
hands of the government, and is
rapidly withdrawing such lands from
entry. Arizona is well represented
in the withdrawn list.
AS result of Investigations by the
United States Geological Survey,
large areas of these lands have, been
withdrawn from public entry pending
legislation needed to prevent their
wasteful exploitation. On April /,
1911, these Withdrawn lands aggre-
gated nearly 100000 acres. The
states in which they they are situated,
and the acreages are shown below:

(soecial to Copper Era)

Especial to Copper Era)
Washington, D. C. May 8.-Another
chapter in the "tatherly interest" of
California in the affairs of Arizona
has appeared in the form of bill by
Representative Hayes of San Jose,
who proposes to have the Govern
ment set aside an enormous tract of
land in the Territory of Arizona to
be known as "The Carnegie National
Park, in concentration of the name
of the founder of some of Americas
great institutions and the benefactor
of mankind by the promotion of ever
lasting peace among all nations of
the earth without the use of arms"
Mr.. Hayes bill is practically the
same as that of Senator Flint's in
troduced in the Sixty-First Congress,
and it is proposed to place APP
proximately $4,000 acres of land,
embracing the present area now
covered by the Forest Reserve and
Game Reserve, in the Park, thus for
ever withdrawing their utility to the
of the Santa Fe road are concerned
in the region of the Grand Canyon,
by further restricting the Forest and
other reserves to the unbearable
regulations and rules of the National
Park system. The Santa Fe road
cannot be ousted from the domain,
but less considera ton is given to
those settlers already on the land,
and any future settlement is to be-
come absolutely impossible. AS the
feet of merchantable timber and is
rich in mineral resources, the inter
est shown ia the additional "pre-
servatiou of American antiquities is
being carried to such an extent by
the Hayes Bill as to reduce the COM
mercial and agricultural value OF
great section of Arizona containing
"only little more than half million
acres of land'' to a pretty restful
resort for wards of the Government
seeking political jobs. When this
matter was up last March, Secretary
James Wilson of the Agricultural
Department, said: THAT with small
exertions, all parts of the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado appears al
ready to be sufficiently protected un-
der the laws" and the Secretary
further said that he was "uuable to
see the necessity for the action pro-
posed" Mr.. Hayes performed a
splendid stroke in behalf of his bill
by giving it the name of Carnegie, as
the old steel makers name is one
with which to conjure in securing
action on legislation. It is even re-
ported that President taft fell for
the jolly when he found that the
Bard of Skibo Castle" was to be
signally honored by having his name
attached to a wonderful new park.
