The city OF Whiting. through the ac-
tivities of Its commercial club has Sc
cured a fine new industry IN the Beck
ton Chemical company. which now has
and in waiting only for the frost to be
out of the ground before operations
will commence.
In Whiting there are now 2,1e5 men
3.110 men when they are operated to
their full capacity. and with the 500
extra men who are to be employed by
the Beckton Chemical company. tho
city will have close to 1000 men en-
ployed in tho next year or two. This
means a potential population of $1,000
; people for Whiting. The fact should
be mentioned that part of the men who
are employed in the plant OF the Ameri-
can Maize Products company. which IL
credited 20 Hammond. live IN Whiting.
Many of them. probably half of them.
live in Hammond, so that It is rated a
Hammond plant.
Burnham and Hegewisch, which are
| only two miles from Hammond, have
employed in their plants $500 men.
This number will be increased to $3.50
when the plants get to running full
4 force. This gives these towns . po-
tential population Of $1,000.
One important fact should be noted
about the figures that are presented In
THE TINES and that 10 that the indus
tries which are now in operation IN the
region are either running so slack or
are contemplating engagements and
extensions which make their present
forces OF men employed only about
half of what will be employed when
they are again running to full capaci-
ty. or have completed extensions that
are now under way
Hammond for instance has tho
Standard Steel Car company. which IL
employing only 1900 men ut the pres
emit time and yet which Is built to em-
ploy not less than 800 men. This Is a
factor that should make for increased
confidence in the business situation In
that city.
| The great works Of city building that
are In progress in the Calumet regien
are only beginning to be appreciated
Something Of an idea OF the tremend.
Gus increases in realty values and of
tho enormous amount of building that
will have to be done in the next year
or two may be had from the fact that
the population Of the region will dou-

A GLANCE into THE

ID Will Be a Wonder.

Lake county now has a potential
population OF 100000. That is. It has
tho Industries which. If running full
force: and 1t has located Industries
which when built will result In the as
sembling of half a million people in
this, the greatest industrial region in
the middle west. excepting only Chi
cage.
brought out as a result of an exhaust
i've investigation which has been car
ried on by THE TINES for the purposes
of this edition. 1t Is based on figures
which have been procured from a hum
dred sources and are absolutely re1ia-
BILE.
No Intangible quantities have been
taken into consideration. Only those
factors that are computable with rea-
sonable exac.ness are the basis of this
article.
The TIMES Is able to present for the
consideration of its readers facts of
stupendous consequence to the whole
region. It Is believed that their pre-
sentation will result in real estate and
building activity that will be felt the
length and breadth of the entire re-
gion.

statements are daily made regarding
