CALUMET REGION FAMOUS

Scope of Real Estate Activity in Lake

real estate business are developed as
in the Calumet region.

purchased from the state. And he will

NO FEES SOLD.
About the only kind of real estate
activity that has never been attempted
in this locality is the sale of a long
term lease on valuable business prop
erty. a thing which is common prac-
tice in the large cities And it will not
be long before leases or fees. as they
call them in Chicago. will be sold in
the larger cities OF the region.
The ideas of the world have been sp-

the future of the region They are
based on rumor. speculation. a certain
amount OF real information and on the
whole optimism that is generally preva-
lent in this locality.
But THE TINES has got down to cold
facts. 1t presents its estimates for the
inspection and analysts OF the man
who knows all of the facts about the
particular industry with which he is
connected.
The source OF this information be-
ing the builders OF these Industries, or
the men who are operating them, THE
TINES believes that they should be ac-
copied as authentic.
The actual figures show that Gary
has the largest potential population in
tho region This is due not only to its
great expanse of territory. but also to
the fact that larger industries have Sc
iected sites In Gary than in any other
section of the region.
There now 11,4o5 men working
ton in Gary. When these same indus
tries are working to their maximum
capacity they will be employing 2s,75o
men. and when the subsidiary con-
Germs which have purchased sites in
Gary, or for whom sites have been re-
served, build their plants, there will
be additional $4,000 men employed.
which will bring the total up to 7e,75o.
And, conservatively, with 7o.7bo men
employed in the plants in the magic
city its population should reach $50. 900.

EXCITES INTENSE INTEREST.
The prominence of the Graees and
the mystery surrounding the shooting
at the fashionable Eleventh street
home has excited intense interest
Grace himself has charged his wife
with the shooting in statements to Of
ficers and friends. His own mother,
however. stands by her daughter-in-
law and says she believes her son is
"out of his head" In accusing his wife.
Mrs. Grace is forty years old and
Grace is but rs. To all appearances
they have lived happily together since
their marriage about year ago.
1t was about ESQ o'clock yesterday
afternoon when police headquarters
received a call from Grace.

The police had to break down the
door of Grace's room with an axe.
They found him limp on the bed
Grace Stllu ne 1NOke at D o CLOCK with
a burning sensation in his side. He
told his wife to call a doctor, but she
left the house without doing so. 1t
was discovered that she had gone to
the home of his mother at Newman
but she returned last night in response
to a telegram and was placed under
arrest. At her request Mrs. Grace was
taken at once &c the hospital where
her husband had been removed.
Daisy, you are the one who shot
me-" Grace is reported as saying.

clairl6e Indignantly.
II sou persist in that | will take
the power of attorney which you ex-
erclse for me away from YOU
Grace then changed his version of
the affair and said he did not know
who shot him. Mrs. Grace insists
that her husband had not been wound
ed when she left the house about noon
Physicians say the wound could not
have been self inflicted. It struck him
on the left side behind the arm, leav-
ing no powder marks. It took slant
ing course and lodged near the spinal
cord which probably has been affected.
Grace's lower limos are paralyzed.
