THAT WATERWAY.

The republicans of the Tenth con-
gressional district in their convention
yesterday adopted a resolution calling
attention to the proposed Indiana
waterway and asking the Indiana
delegation in congress to do what
they can to have this route adopted.
This resolution was not a wild dream.
neither was it political buncombe- 1t
predicted a waterway improvement
that is going to be made and it called
attention to the most desirable route
Within a few years there will be
a waterway connecting the Great
Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico. The
completion of the Panama canal calls
attention to the benefits that would
be derived from such a waterway.
The improvement would place the
great central west in direct connec-
ton with the Pacific, saving thous-
ands of miles in distance and millions
in cost of transportation
A preliminary survey has proved
the project feasible. The Indiana
route contemplate a ship canal from
Indiana Harbor to Monticello, where
! the Tippecanoe could be utilized to
the Wabash. Such a canal would
cost the government no more than
other proposed routes and it is short
err to the gulf by at least $50 miles
than any other route proposed.
Let us remember that there is go
ing to be- an inland waterway from
the Great Lakes to the Gulf. With
this fact in mind we should be inter
ested in having this canal run
through Indiana. The Indiana route
would add immensely to the indus
trial Importance of the state and we
lshould have sufficient enterprise tc
urge its adoption. The business in
terests of Lafayette should join witt
4 the commercial clubs of northern In
diana an durge the adoption of the
Indiana route-Lafayette Journal.

A WHOLE lot of the Gary young
men are suffering from the humps.
Suffering we say, because if this is
no means a pleasant one. In Gary
nature is playing an extra joke in
as much as humps are supposed to
come only when one is young. How
ever, nature is a contrary cuss.
You may laugh at mumps face to-
day but don't be so sure that you'll

night. it could not compare with some
of the other matches. In the principal
clash neither lad seemed to now much.
Joe jeanette, the big heavyweight
pugilist, refereed this match.
The bout between Young Conroy, OF
Newark, and Young Hills, Df orange,
furnished the most interesting feature
of the night. Conroy, after a minute
of boxing, was tapped slightly on the
side of the jaw. He went to his cor

claimed 81 thought it was the bell
The bout was resumed after a few
seconds rest. The local lad got UP
quickly, and in less han a half a
minute Hicks was on the DOR as a re-

and Referee Ross sent Conroy out OF

Gains Decision
Over Sam McVey on Points

The fight opened at a fast pace. In
the second round Langford landed
three heavy rights on the body in a
clinch. at which Mcvey protested, and
the police interfered. barring kidney
punches in the clinches. Langford had
somewhat the better of the first few
rounds, and the betting veered to 9 to
4 In his favor. Both men put up a
savage fight, and the referee was con
stantly engaged in separating them.
BY clever sparring Mcvey managed
to keep his stronger adversary off I'M
til after the seventeenth round, when
the furious pace began to tell or both.
Langford was In the better condition
at the end, although not good enough
to land a knockout The spectators
cheered the referees decision and were
obviously delighted at what they con-

tie.
