ICE PACK FLOODS ELkHART.
Ice packs in the st. Joseph River at
Elkhart have backed up a wall of
water which hae inundated the resi-
dence section in the lower parts of the
city, driving the inhabitants out into
the bitter cold and doing other damage
to the extent of $4,000. The heaviest
loss occurred at the EllShart paper
mills. where water poured into the
mill basement, partially submerging
valuable machinery. extinguishing the
fires in the boilers and running a large
quantity of paper stock. The ice jam
was broken with dynamite and last
night the waters began receding.

abroad regarding Lake County and
it's inhabitants. In the case of Lake
County statistics at least the reports
are frequently grossly misleading.
Experience teaches us to be leni
emit in criticizing for errors in publ
cations, due to haste. lack of re-
sources. and complicated situations
but our mantle of charity is not
broad enough to cover State Board of
Health bulletins. In the first place
1t takes two months in which to pub
lish the results for given month.
though it stands In a mandatory po-
sition to get its information, and
what it has to say is expected to be
specific and precise. In making up
its tables showing the comparative
ties and sections of the state it is not
handicapped with ifs. why's and
| twherefores. The bulletin is an
official organ of statistics, and it's in
formation should stand as unques-
toned authority.
II that be the case, why does the
bulletin come forth monthly with
libellous statistics regarding Lake
County? In giving population 1t
hides behind the word estimated
but that word is not broad enough to
hide ignorance or carelessness or
both.
In its November bulletin which
was issued this week. Lake County
| is given population estimated" at
S7.361. Hammond 21.779, East Chi
cago 1866 and Gary 1882. At the
best in each case the figures have
been raised few hundred above the
census of 1910. Now everybody UP
| here knows that Lake County has n
| population of over 100000, more
than $4,000 votes having been regis
| tered for the election of last fall, and
the three cities instead of having in
| creased several hundred have each
grown by several thousand popula-
ton. The census figures of Gary
represent only half of its population
today
We can excuse ignorance to some
extent but there is no excuse for mis-.
information from an official source
With our increased populations We
have more deaths to record in proper
ton. and we say. 1t is extremely un
fair to charge the number of death.
against the smallest possible popula
ton. The harm not only lies in un
derestimating the strength ant
growth of Lake County but it give
the communities a black eye for
seeming high death rate.

valuation of 100000. Hammond
comes next with a valuation of $1o,-
900, 600 East Chicago third with a
valuation of $7,500,000 and Whiting
fourth with valuation of Sc
900, 900
In spite of these enormous valua-
lions there is not a city among them
which could spare a million dollars
for the elevation of its tracks. Most
of them need relatively more import
ant things and are unable to buy
them.
Then too there is the manner in
which Carter seeks to put through
his measure. He does not seem to
| be familiar with the history of track
elevation fights in indianapolis, Fort
! WAYNE and Joliet. He does not seem
| to realize that he would have to have
| the combined influence of dozen
Indiana cities back of him before he
coud hope to succeed with his meas
ure.
| But his activity will do no harm
1t will point out the needs of the
region Lake County will have to
have two or three losing track eleva-
| ton fights to entitle itself to win
ming one That is the history OF
projects involving millions of dollars
At the next session of the legis-
lature track elevation league will
have been organized in the cities OF
the state needing this improvement.
statistics will have been gathered
showing the loss of life as result
of grade crossings. literature will
have been prepared. Legislators will
be convinced that that public senti'
ment requires that they obey the
mandates of the people and then and
ony then will the campaign be sue.

If Carter gets through a bill com
pelling the cities of the Calumet
region to pay 25 per cent of the cos
of elevation it will have awaited
nothing. Track elevation will b'

THE GOAT GETTER.

Several days ago THE TIMES ex-
clusively announced that surveys had
been ordered for four new blast
furnaces at Gary steel works.
AS was to be expected the Gary
Tribune frothed at the mouth and
denounced the story under the cap
tion Just the Usual Fake
Yesterday it discovered that the
story was true and we read in column
one. page one, Monday nights issue
that:
'..-........W When the four blast
furnaces now under consideration
have been added 10 the Gary mills,
the Indiana Steel company will
rank ahead of Carnegie Steel, etc.
etc, etc
We humbly suggest that the next
time that Grandma Carr sets out to
deny TIMES story that she buy the
highball for somebody with the
proper authority to make the denial
for when one has too many highballs
in him he is just as likely to deny as
affirm. And then it isn't so humili-
ating to acknowledge lying to ones
readers when 1t was found that the
denyer didn't know what he was
talking about.

Republican candidate in a strongly
Democratic district. After serving
two terms he retired from Congress

Jersey senate. of which body he be-
came president in 1901. In the same
year he was appointed a justice OF

ASPECTS OF TRACK ELEVATION

There is no community in the
walton is a greater necessity than in
the cities of Lake County. The toll
of life that is exacted annually by
the railroads indicates this.
Representative Barnie Carter is
undoubtedly in good faith in his
effort to secure relief from the dang
ers of grade crossings but his meas
ure is destined to failure
Carter has not yet seen the work
ings of the invisible government
which has its way when great meas
ures for public relief are promulgat-
ed that are likely to cost the railroad
corporations of the state a large sum
of money.
One of two things are certain as
result of the introduction of the
Carter bill for track elevation
Either the measure will not be ac-
ceptable to the people or the railroads
will prevent its passage.
Surprising Carter should get
through a measure that would make
| it necessary for the city to pay q
per cent and the railroads Z 3 per cen1
of the cost of track elevation. Thai
would be considered a very liberia
bill from the cities point of view.
| And supposing that the rear
rangement of the tracks and yards o
| the railroads and the actual cost o
elevation would be $10,000.000; as i
somewhat vaguely estimated-sup
pose it was only four million dollar
THE city would be compelled TO pa.
$1,000,000 and there is not a city II
the Calumet region that has enough
credit to borrow one fourth of tina
amount.
Under the unwise provision of tn
constitution of the State of Indian;
which makes it impossible for a cit
to exceed two per cent of its assesses
valuation in the amount of its in
ldebtedness; track elevation could no
come for 20 years if any one of tn
lcities were compelled to raise a mil
lion dollars as their share of tn
|; cost of elevation.

HEALTH REPORTS FARcIAL.

If the balance of the reports in the
monthly bulletin issued by the State
Board of Health, are no more reliable
and most of its cities, we would sug-
gest that the editors of the publica-
tion throw their reports in the furn-
ace and save the taxpayers the money
would not only be more economical
but it would close another source ri

MIGHT TRY IT HERE.

A New York County Medical So
ciety is in favor of having a graduate
physician on every newspaper staff

operations. Bully idea. He could
also assist the graduate fool killer,

about him with his club, by poison
ing few nuisances. He could also
deal with the doctor who primes the
reporters with choice bit of scandal
about brother physician and then
gets up in meeting and roasts the

my BEATRICE HANSEN,

When stenographer has reached
the age of thirty years is she an un-
desirable quantity?
Mr. Hammond Bushes Man says no"
If there ever was a. time and some
say there was. when girl who had
reached the age OF thirty was unpopu-
lar in business circles that day is pass
ed. She Is no longer considered ancient
at thirty.
She Is not called an old maid and it
is seldom that she is even referred TO
as a bachelor girl. 1T was never in
tended that despair should be written
on the faces of girls fair and forty who
are engaged as stenographers In the
business world.

When the question, ARE the oppor-
tunities good for girl stenographers of
thirty years of age or more" was put
