NEW ROAD
TO Be- VERY
DESIRABLE

With the exception of a small strip
east of the First subdivision the East
Fifth avenue road extension has been
completed through the woods east of
he Gary and Wetern railway track ele-
vation to the terminus of the improved
Aetna road. When the strip mentioned
is finished Gary will for the first time
have direct road leading to Miller and
Porter county points.
Heretofore the only improved route
from Miller to Gary was by way of
Hobart and the Ridge Road. very
circuitous route. While the Miller road
was paved up to the Aetna limits it
ended here and an old wagon trail
through the Fourteenth avenue woods
available only in dry weather constitut-
ed the one highway leading to the east
AS the result of the Improvement of
Borman boulevard and with the COM
pietion of the East Fifth avenue road it
is expected that good deal of the
automobile traffic that passed through
Hammond and then went south will be
diverted after 1t leaves Hammond to
the new Gary route to the eastward.
The new way to Hobart, Valparaiso and
eastern points will enable auto tourists
to see Gary a treat denied them in the
past as the old route lead around the
south of the city.

Eealthiest.

The November number of the Indiana
state board of health bulletin is just

the various Calumet region cities, to-
gether with the percentage per thou
sand population. and the average per-
centage of death for class of cities in

misleading and disadvantag geous to the

the population of several years ago

Oh! DON'T YOU
RECALL AAhtGkMAH0n
Those Were the Merry Days
When You Didn't Know
Where You Were.

year ago the city of Hammond
was plunged into the famous amaiga
nation controversy, through the pass
age by the East Chicago city council
of the ordinance annexing the city of
Hammond.
1t will be remembered that East
Chicago then annexed Whiting and
Gary annexed Hammond. East Chicago
and Whiting making one of the most
complicated tangles that this region
has ever known.
While the sentiment was in favor
of the principal of annexation. 1t was
argued by the opponents of the plan
that it was being consummated in an
improper manner.
Owing to the lack of interest on the
part of the annexationists and the in
tense activity on the part of the Ham
mond city officials who feared they
would lose their jobs. the remon-
strances circulated by policemen, fire.
men and everybody else in the city
employ were finally signed and the
project failed. Some of the cases are
still in the courts.

COUNTY
OPTION IS
DEAD, SURE
Forces That Are Fighting
Change Are Doomed to
Defeat; Democrats Are
Going to Wipe Out County
Option Law.
TINES BUREAU.
AT STATE CAPITAL.

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 20.--Nothing
can stop the Indiana legislature from
amending the present local option law,
and the forces that are fighting the
change are doomed to defeat and dis
appointment. 1t is certainty that the
Democratic. majority in the legislature
will wipe out the county unit and make
law that will give local option to cities
and townships. Just as the Democratic
platform recommended. This will be
done within the next few days.
But the row will come when the time
arrives for the enactment of a law to
regulate the saloon business, and this
promises to be daisy of a row at that.
The Anti-Saloon League which has
been making a stiff fight against any
change in the present liquor laws, is
up against the real thing in the present
Iaocal option fight, and 1T is bound to
get whipped. This was shown yester-
day when a number of petitions were
read in both houses of the Legislature
signed by hundreds of voters from vari-
Gus counties, asking the legislature to
make no changes in the liquor laws
When these were read there was a
litter of laughter all over both houses

CAMPAIGN TO
BE WARM ONE

AS the end of the month approaches
preparations are being made by both
sides for the election which is to de-
termine whether or not West Ham
mond is to become a city.
There will be determined opposition
to the plan by Miss Virginia Brooks
and her friends, but those who favor
the change say that the majority of
the people in West Hammond are in
favor of the city form of government.
In week or so the campaign be-
tween the opposing sides will be on
in dead earnest. 1t is expected to be
one of the most hotly contested cleo
tions that has ever ben held in the
village.

STORY THAT Mills

Conditions at Illinois Steel
Co. Plant Will Remain
About the Same.

South Chicago. Jan. 20.--A rumor
was sent out yesterday by some one. to
the effect that the Illinois Steel Com
pany would be running full blast by
February 18th. This rumor is absolute
" false, as a TIMES representative has
received verbal inside information that
things would keep on going as they
have in the past six months, with the
exception of No. l rail mill which has
enough orders on hand to run them al
most a year.
At No. 2 open hearth only five-sixty-
five ton furnace are in operation out of
fourteen and at No. 1 open hearth the
entire ten furnaces are idle. Plate and

fast enough to allow thre days work
per week for each of the plate, slab,

MAKES FINE
ARGUMENT
Hammond's Mayor Appears
Before Senate Courts
Committee and Puts Up a
Splendid Talk For Ham
mOnd.

The Hammond delegation returned
from Indianapolis last evening and re-
port that the outlook for the additional
judges at Hammond and for the defeat
of the Gary bill are very encouraging.
W. ]. McAieer, a member of the dele
CATION, says that a canvas of the situa-
tion indicates that the Hammond bill
will pass. The Hammond delegation
was large and enthusiastic, and it pre-
sented some facts that have made the
committee sit up and take notice
L. L. Bomberger stated that the pros
poets of Hammond victory seem good.
He stated that the matter would not
come up again until next Monday. The
report of the committees from both
the house and the senate will be anx-
iously awaited.
Becker Makes Great speech.
The members Of the delegation are
unanimous in the opinion that Mayor
Lawrence Becker made one of the most
telling arguments before the commit :
tee that has ever been heard on the
Lake county court question.
Becker riddled the Gary proposition
from stem to stern. He stated that
the greatest development in Gary is in
the direction of Hammond and that
sooner or later there would be 75 per
cent of the population of Gary, west OF
Broadway
He pointed out that rs per cent OF
the population of Lake county is in
North township in which Hammond is
located. He presented incontroverti-
bic arguments in favor of the Ham
mond court and the fact that he is
recognized as one of the leading demo-
Gratis of northern Indiana made his
arguments all the more effective with
the committee.
His speech was mingled with logic
and sarcasm, and argument afte,
argument was hammered home the

The cause of higher education was
the theme of the address delivered
NV ex-president Roosevelt to the
Students of The University of Monta-
ma on he occasion of his visit to
Missoua. Over six hundred stud
..nis and visitors listened to the dis
tsinguished speaker whose address
was probably the best ever delivered
i'm Assembly Hall. The Colonel
gave a short talk to the high school
children and the public school chill
slren of The city, who were massed
ON the campus, before tie was escort
ed to he hall where the large crowd
~ university people was waiting.
In concluding and summing up
his address to the university students
the Colonel spoke as follows: be-
l,eve in you and in youropp"rl unity.
ltyou come to this university, you
young men and you young women,
and oct out of il nothing but ca
pacily for leading life of rather
vacuous pleasure he bridge club
type of life it will not do YOU any
good at all / you come to The col
,ege and 90 ont we'll trained to do
good work i'm special vocatons it
will have done you great good, but
not all that it should. What hope
is that you will have as an ideal the
thought of getting a basis of general
culture which will entitle YOU to
companionship with cultured men
and women throughout the world.
and that on that basis the great ma
jority will acquire a cultural train
ing which will lead to doing work
in special lines OF science, art and
literature,
The Colonel and his party were es-
corted to the university grounds by
a large band of Indians, COWBOYS,
and rough riders in full regalia, and
by the members of the reception
committees in automobiles. The
riders raced widely around the cam
pus in true western style amid the
che ers aud yells of the schools chill
