Argument before the board of public
son. the attorney for the Reid Murdoch
Co. against the Calumet avenue OPEN

of all its interests in Hammond, news
of which was first made public in THE
TIMES several weeks ago.
The fact that the board of directors

cause plans for an additional factory
building, five stories in heighth and
500 feet in length. were made as early
as 1895, and that giving up ten-foot
strip of land, which is intended for
sidetrack, would hamper the company
to such an extent that 1T would have
to change its plans materially to the
detriment of the size of the building,
were given by the attorney for the
company as reasons why the company
should not be deprived of it's land, or
why the board should devise some 9TH
er means for the widening of the
street.
In Favor of Improvement.
From civic spirit standpoint, the
company's attorney said. the directors
are in favor of the Improvement, but,
he said. the opening and widening of
the street would not benefit Reid-Mur-
doch & Co. one bit because 1t had It's
land for use and not for speculative
purposes. According TO it's present
plans the company intends to erect the
building and to lay sidetrack between
the building and Calumet avenue. In
order that it's sidetrack may be left
undisturbed. the companys representa-
| tive suggested that the city in order ia
secure the necessary driveway width
| eliminate the sidewalk in front of the
company,s holdings.

The Calumet region is in the throes
of the greatest real estate boom in it's
history. People are invading it from
Chicago and are looking for invest
ments everywhere.
There is no precedent for the activity
that is taking place. Real estate agents
and individuals are, selling and buying
property right and left. Those who
want TO unload are doing so with great
alacrity. Those who are buying are
getting in" before the big rush comes
this summer.
The activity is not confined to the
north side. 1t extends all over Ham
mond. In the business and residential
diestricts. There are rumors in the air
that other plants are to locate. One
authority said that four more smaller
concerns are seeking locations in Ham

1t is understood that while here Mr.
McHarg assured the Indiana Roose-

POULTRY

ciudes numberless poultry farms and ground are used for growing grain for the flock and for ranges for the chickens Many of these poultry farms use incubators, matching thou sands of chicks at one hatch; using many houses and employing much labor in the work. l wish l had the statistics to show the immensity of the poultry business and the varied other industries pertaining to it.
 From the Shanghai and the Domi- nicker we have innumerable other breeds and strains: Orpingtons, black, white and buff; Wyandottes, white laced and Columbian; Ply mouth Rocks, barred and white Leg horns, white, black, buff and brown; Rhode Island Reds, single and rose comb. We have Minorcas, Bantams, Hamburgs and others so numerous as to baffle the memory. Once turkey,
  goose or duck and now there is as wide a difference in quality and rating between different breeds, as between peasantry and royalty.
 There are millions of dollars in- vested in the manufacture of incuba makers-and all claiming to have reached perfection or to be as nearly like the original incubator of fifteen egg capacity. h. from fifty to tens of thousands of eggs. The sale of eggs for incubation alone is marvellous traffic and the haby chick that was never to leave the barnyard now travels, with guar anteed safety, from ocean to ocean and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. Firms are numerous that take various grains, mix them scien- tifically into we'll balanced rations and sell at wonderful profit We have facotries making sanitary drink ing fountains, automatic feeders, auto matic greasers, grit and brand hop pers, metal nests, sanitary roost poles, shipping GOODS, exhibition GOODS, clippers, leg bands, canon sets, and a thousand and one other supplies an dappliances that call for an immense outlay of money for ma chinery and labor.
 There are few industries in the United States that have grown as the poultry business and it's tributar- ies. The poultry business has come to stay; it is healthful, open air work, pays a legitimate profit and carries With it fascination that makes the work easy. The watch word for 1912 is more poultry and better poultry and may the spring time melody ever be the healthful chirp, cackle and crow of the thor oughbred strains.

POULTRY RAISING.

1 Poultry raising as all industry is
 of comparatively recent date, espe
 cially in the United States. Before ! the Civil War (that being the mos
 notable mile post on our journey
 was confined to the mother, prefer ably the grandmother, who had 8
 small flock of Shanghai and Domi-
 nieker hens and roosters t5ockerels an innovatiom in the back yard; one
 small hen house, ..oosts and nests in the same house-oftener the trees furnished the roasting accommCda- tions and the barn a place to lay. Tae incubating machine had ca pac- ity of fifteen eggs, known as a set tin'' and this was gathered from the barn or borrowed from the neigltors and not expressed across the conti- nent. Those days "Biddy,'' the in- cubator, set and while she has not been entirely relegated to the past, she now sits upon the sitting or gives up the job. Then Bddy had no grit or Esso charcoal at hand, no bal anced rations to worry over, but with a grit all her own, she hustled for a living, scratching, picking and nap ping the bugs on the wing or the worms beneath the chip, from early morn to dewy eve and when night came she needed no remedy or poul- try cuddling to insure healthful nights S rest If that old fashioned hen of ours roasted high enough she was undisturbed-until twelve o'clock when the rooster would crow and the biddies ask. "Is it time to come down Cocks reply: No dearie, six hours more of rest and my shrill clarion call shall arouse to to an- other day of healthful, hustling, hon. est toil.
 When Biddy came off with her fluffy little brood-mayloe she was coOped up for few days and furnish ed free little wet meal for the chicks-but it was only few days until she was maintaining the whole family, and it was so lucky sine did not know that her little ones should have been started on hard boiled eggs, toast, rolled oats or breakfast foods, and what deprivation not to have sanitary drinking fountain. Maybe she didn't furnish ,oroilers at six weeks, but when her broilers or fliers did reach our table we haven't "a more del ghtful reminiscence than the fried chicken of our childhood and of Biddys own raising.
 In those days poultry raising was confined to the small scale of ones back yard. Now it means that and vastly more. While there are thou sands of chickens raised and eggs shipped from the small area of ones back yard in a city block, it also in

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The long hand of the Russian czar has reached into the United States sen ate, over the shoulder of Elihu Root, and written a bill which will become the law of the land
 If Senator Roots bill is not thrown down by congress, the Russian and other despotic governments will re ceive the aid of the Republic of the United States when they trail across the ocean after political refugees. Roots bill is in the form of an amendment to the pending immigra- tion measure and provides for the deportation of "any alien who shall take advantage of his residence in the United States to conspire with others for the violent overthrow of a foreign government recognized by the United States

 And it has been cabled back that the prospective arrival of Prince Adelbert, a bachelor, 2S years old, has provoked a certain flutering of hearts in New York, Newport and other cities which the squadron would visit naturally.
 It should be broken gently to Uncle Sans daughters that Prince Adelbert is already deeply in love Indeed, it is now said that it is to tear him from his inamorata, Paula Frieden. a captivating actress, that his father contemplates sending the prince to America.

 It will be recalled that Root was strongly in favor of deporting Jan Pouran, who was saved from the clutches of the Russian czar by the militant working class of the coun- try. Roots scheme is to abolish by congressional enactment the consti- tutional and traditional right of political asylum in this country.
