CITY VERY
QUIET NOW

West Hammond is being very peace
able these days. Chief of Police Okraj
and his officers have but little to do.
Justice Frank Green finds the office a
sinecure. The city administration have
the strenuous days of a year ago to
look back upon and in word, there is
nothing doing.
The very fact that West Hammond
has succeeded In being good in the
only news that comes from the city
across the line. In a political way there
is little of interest.
In the way of the development of the
city there is a great deal of interest.
1t is understood that there is no oues-
tion of the building of the Harvey
branch of the Chicago & Eastern ILL.,
nois Traction Co. which means that
West Hammond is to be the highway
between two great steel producing CEN
ters. Joliet and Gary.
Other things are expected to happen
in West Hammond that will make 1t a
live place in the near future. Real es-
tate is expected to become active and
everybody is optimistic about the fut-
ure.

gagement of Helen Gould. the $40, O0O.-
900 fiance. and Finley j. Shepherd of
ST. Louis.
Clark says that Shepherds work in
annexing that 10000. coo under those
circumstances does not call for any
particular commendation. He says
that Shepherd trudged about in the
mud and so did he.
He says that he and his wife and
children were in compartment when
the train, which was running along
side of a freight, was wrecked by the
sudden buckling up of the freight
train.
The cars flew in every direction.
Only the fireman and engineer were
seriously hurt. But Shepherd got busy
and enquired of everybody how badly
they were injured with the result that
his acts won the admiration of Helen
Gould. and incidentally her $4,000. 900.

SIMPLEX MAY HAVE
TO BUILD SOON

1t is now believed that the building
of half million dollar foundry in con-
nection with the Simplex Railway APP
pliance Co of Hammond cannot be long
deferred. The company IS finding it
almost impossible TO get the malleable
iron that it needs.
For weeks C. II. Austin and c. G..
Kingwen have been visiting Milwaukee
and other places and have been trying
to hurry the shipments of malleable
iron from foundries there.
The inconvenience of having to rely
on outsiders for maIleable iron a times
when 1t is desirable TO make the out
put of the plant reach the the maxi
mum indicates that the new foundries
will have to be built
AT ordinary times it is possible to
secure malleable iron for but little
above what 1t costs to make it, but in
times like these with the plant running

BUILDINGS
COMPLETED

Seventeen of the eighteen buildings
of the Central Railway Signal Co. of
Hammond are under roof and the TSth
will beefed in another week. The act
ual work of manufacturing fuses will
begin the 18th of next month.
On account of the necessity of hav-
ing to break in lot of new help the
number of man put on at the start will
be very small This number will be
gradually increased however.
Mr.. Clark says that the business OF
his company has increased 65 per cent
during the past year, and that it is
growing all of the time The plant is
located just east of the city of Ham
mond along the line of the Gary & In
terurban railroad and the buildings are
all small ones with white roofs

to full capacity the failure to get iron
results in serious setbacks.
1t was not long ago that the Simplex
Railway Appliance Co. purchased all
of the river frontage between Holman
street and Calumet avenue from John
E. Fitzgerald. excepting 200 feet of
frontage on Calumet avenue. which
Fitzgerald retained for himself to pro-
tect his ditch.
At that time plans were made for
malleable iron works that was to
have cost between 100000 and $780,
600, but the money stringency Of 1907
put end to these plans and they
were abandoned until recently.
The building of the new plant will
mean the employment of several hun
dred more men. 1t will make the Sim
plex Railway Appliance Co. one of the
best railway equipment plants in the
country.

MORAL: SEARCH
POCKETS BEFORE
sPADDLING' BOYS

Columbus, Ind, Dec. 49, Too
vigorous application of paddle to
the west side Of boys trousers
came near causing serious results in
the public school a East Columbus.
One of the small boys was unruly
and the teachers punished him by ad-
ministering the paddle. The boy had
some matches in his hip pocket and
the rapid application of the paddle
caused the matches to ignite. Neither
the teacher nor the boy knew that
fire had been started until the boy
felt something warm and made a
grab for the rear. The teacher then
saw smoke and hurriedly extin-
gufshed the fire The boy was only
slightly burned
The above dispatch from Columbus
describes a dilemma in which any
teacher may find herself, and the quey-
tion arises what should she do under
the circumstances
An educator in the public schools
to whom the question was put said
with justifiable pride that his schools
had shown in the past that they were
equal to any emerg gency and that he
had the utmost faith I'm his teachers
to show the proper presence of mind.
Suggestions in Order.
