INTERURBANS DO
VERY GOOD WORK

Officials and employees of the South
Shore and Gary & Interurbsn railways
yesterday received much praise for the
way in which they handled the holiday
crowds. The lines puth forth every eff
fort to take care OF the business, and
while at times there were over-crowd-
ed cars this was condition that could
not be helped.
The South Shore system operated on
Sunday schedule and II had many extra
trains. especially between Gary and
Chicago and Hammond and Michigan
City. All of the trains were made up of
four or five coaches and the crowds
were taken care of in a better way
tina never before. TIL Gary and Southern
did a good business and the Gary and
Interurban had much traffic to tho
South Shore resorts.
The Gary Notorious Company did a
land -office business between Gary and
Miller beach.

whatever for new work are being con-

The net investment in reclamation
works in the ten years since the re-

most difficult of the problems, accord
ing to Chief Engineer F. III. Newell,
are not those of engineering or Of con-
struction, but those having to do with
the human side-the attracting of the
type of farmer who can and will make
a success of intensive farming. In
reviewing the accomplishments of the
ten years that have passed since the
reclamation act went into effect, Mr..
Newell points out some of the mistak-
en- views which actual experience has
corrected with regard to reclamation

concerning the low los of reclamation
by irrigation. The early ideas OF cost
were based upon the results obtained
by the pioneer. The first settlers, act

per acre was estimated at an extremely
low figure because Of the fact that the.
cost was not recorded, and the
acreage which might be irrigated was,

Londonderry in the sum of $4,000 for
the alleged alieation of the affections
OF her husband, G. Clarence StoweH of
New York and Londonderry. Stowell
went bail for the Green woman.
The plaintiff claims that some four
years ago Stowell bought farm in
Londonderry and moved there with his
wife and two minor children, now aged
10 and eight years respectively; that

serted his wife and children and ap-

claims, he has paid nothing towards

two children, and Mrs. Stowell has now
reached the end of her resources and
seeks some redress. The woman known

developments following Secretary
Bryan s statement that he had to
spend his vacation on the lecture plat
form because he couldn t live on the
secretary of state 5 salary of $4,000

Senator Bristow of Kansas calling on
the president to advise the Senate
what would be proper salary to en-
able the present secretary of state to
live with comfort and to enable him
to give his time to the discharge of
his public duties. When the Bristow
resolution was read amid Republican
laughter, Democratic leader Kern and
other senators Immediately objected to
its consideration, and after few brief
exchanges it went over. 1t was fully
discussed, however, in the lobbies and

TURKISH TROOPS
TO PUSH FORWARD
Hope to Take Adrianople for the Ma
terlal and Moral Effect on In
ternational Situation.

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 16.-The
Turkish government is determined to
push forward the march of the Otto
man troops as far as the stronghold of
Adrlanople, captured by the Bulga-
rians during the recent war, although
ConstantinopIe official circles are reti-
cent on the subject. 1t is understood
that such a forward step is delib-
crate plan of the Turkish government,
which intends to take this bold action,
not only because of the material ad-
vantage to be gained, but also be-
cause of the moral effect on the inter
situation. Thus far the Eu-
ropean powers have not addressed anv
communication to the Turkish govern
ment on the advance of the Ottoman
trops northward
