Whole blocks of lots were scratched
off the map and marked sold" In the
neighborhood of 100000 worth OF
property was sold in forty-eight hours.
And if was sold at prices which
Hotchkiss thought he ought TO get
when the property was first put on the
market four or five years ago. It was
one of the most remarkable real estate
sales that the country has ever known.
A Success; OF Course.
The Judgment of HotchlSiss had been
good when he selected the heart of the
Calumet region for his subdivision; he
was game enough to back up his judg-
ment with the money necessary to de-
velop the property and get it ready
for sale. and most important of all.
when he found that his Calumet Ken
nedy project was a little premature on
account of the industrial depression
that followed 1907. he was big enough
to force the issue and make the land
sell. no matter what might conspire
against it.

humping the bumps.
The point was that Calumet was the
geographical center of the Calumet re-
gion and that it would have to come
sooner or later. Hotchl<iss was will
ing to take a chance on the land and
his friends were willing 10 take a
chance on Hotchkiss.
SO Calumet was born. The property
was plated, streets were laid out. sew
ers were built and mile or two of CO.
ment walk was laid. And when the
work was done the subdivision was
beautiful to look at, but very little
land was sold.
The panic of 1907 was still being felt
and industry was throttled The as
sessments on the property climbed up
to an enormous figure. Sales expense
multiplied the figures on the debit side

friends began to squirm.

HOW A METAM0RPH0S|S CAME

The three requisites for success in
big real estate venture: The first is to
determine to a reasonable certainty the
future of property; the second is to
have faith enough in Your Judgment
70 make necessary improvements so
able and the third is to be big enough
to force success out of failure if you
find that you have fallen down on some
of your calculations.
When YOU find a real estate man

tie to- c. w Hotchkiss has these
qualities and to him. and his able as
sistant, Walter ]. Riley. is due the
credit for making Calumet one of the
most conspicuous places on the real es-
tate map of the Calumet region.
Buys From the Map.
The attention of C. W. Hotchkiss was
attracted to this region through his
connection. first with the Indiana Har-
Dor Belt railroad. and afterwards with
the Chicago. Indiana & Southern rail-
road
In glancing over the map OF the re-
gion he saw that the intersection OF
Chicago avenue and the Chicago. Indi-

A number of industries were located
in close proximity to the plant and
some lots were sold, but the sales did
not multiply fast enough. The stock
holders in the Calumet Kennedy Land
company began to shake their heads.
The proposition was referred to as

plimentary terms

And then on the memorable 9th day
Of January. 1912. the information was
first published in THE TINES that the
Baldwin Locomotive Works had To-
cated-let's look at the map-just east
of Calumet.
And further information developed
the fact that C. ". Hotchkiss, the faith
er of the Calumet Kennedy Land COM
pany, had been largely instrumental in
making the deal.
A few weeks later a mob of 500 men
stormed the offices of the Calumet
Kennedy Land company and begged
Walter ]. Riley to take their money.

West of Calumet was Hammond, the
largest city in the district; northwest
of Calumet was East Chicago. which
is a potential manufacturing city OF
considerable Importance; in the same
direction was whiting. the great
Standard Oil town; north of Calumet
was Indiana Harbor. the canal gate
way; east of Calumet was Gary, the
great steel town and south of Calumet
lay great expanses of country which

fine residential district

Here is the heart of the Calumet

he bought all of the land within sight
and invited his friends to join him in
a great ity-building project.
The land was merely a succession Of
ridges and sloughs. but that did not
worry Hotchkiss: he knew it could be
drained. 1t was a desolate waste to
look at but Hotchkiss knew that all
Of the other cities of the region had
been built on just such ground and so
he did not give that a second thought
If anyone had had the temerity to
suggest to Hotchkiss that he did not
see where the people were to come

$500 lots, he probably would have been
informed that the property would be

INSANE MAN THINKS
JUDGE HAS ROBBED HIM

Receiving letter from G. A. Peitz-
old, Of Portland, which indicates that
he is mentally unsound as he declares
that Judge Gantenbein, circuit Judge
Of Multnomah county, has robbed him
Of bis home and that he intends to
shoot him, Ralph Watson, private sec
retary to Governor West, this morning
called up the judge and advised him of
the contents of the letter. and also its
source.
Peitzold's letter is rambling. He
says that the Judge has robbed him of
Lis home, and that there are two ways
of fighting for it--through the courts,
and by the use Of gun. The courts
cost money, he says, and he has de-
cided in favor Of the gun. He hates
to follow out the latter course, as the
judge has a family, and he has con-
cluded that he would give him one
chance. This Is 10 be by appealing to
the governor to help him get back his
property. and then If he fails, he will
go after the judge, he says, like the
boys Of 1776 settled their scores
