PEAT BOGS
MAY BRING
INDUSTRY

The production of large quantities
of fuel from the peat bogs of the Kan
kakee river fats may become an i'm
portant industry in Lake county, If
the plans of r. S. Lawrence, 933 North
Meridian street, Indianapolis, are car
ried out.
Lawrence is president of the Farm
er's Peat Fuel company, which owns
the patents on a machine that manu-
factures balls of fuel peat These
balls are said to be as good fuel for
ordinary purposes as coal and they
can be made for less money than coal
can be produced at the mines
Not only that, but Hammond may
become the center for the manufacture
Of peat fuel balls. What has attracted
attention to Lake county is the fact
that government reports show that
there are 10000 acres of peat lands
along the Kankakee flats.
The idea is that if a concern could
manufacture these machines in Ham
mond and thea induce the hundreds of
farmers in the peat land section to
spend their spare time manufacturing &
fuel that a big industry might be built
up,
1t is proposed to put 10000 of these
machines at work each of which will

fuel value of 1900 heat units per

their minds as they have time to think
over the situation. The Republica n
party was good enough for him in 1882,

1854 when tens of thousands of Re-
publicans left the party because they
felt that Blaine was representing cor
