COMPLETE BIG UNDERTAKING.

In exactly two weeks time a firm of
Cincinnati contractors raised the recti-
flying house of James Walsh & Co. at
Lawrenceburg eight feet, putting it
above the 1884 flood mark. The build
ing is 54x150 feet, two stories high and
constructed of massive timbers. To
raise 1T 10 jacks were used, each of
fve-ton lifting capacity. In the crib
bling necessary there We're 10000 feet
of two-inch plank, besides $50 railroad
ties and a larger quantity of 6xs tim
bers. The total amount of material
thus required was approximately 10000
feet board measurement The recti-
flying house is one of the largest in the
country.

per cent of the water that passed down

South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1913-07-18
By T. L. Howard.

I plead for closer relations between
the city and our neighboring seats OF
learning IL is true that South Bend
must always be something more than
college town. II is, and must con-
tinue to be. also n manufacturing.
business and commercial center.
In this respect South Bend Is more
than Ann ArbOr or Bloomington, or
Charlottesville. or Lafayette. But our
aim should be that our city in addi-
tion 10 her other elements OF distinc-
= ton. should also take on. in the most
complete manner, all that is most eX-
cellent I'm those other college towns.
The gown and the town should be
mutually helpful and ii is a matter OF
congratulatiOn that these pleasant re-
lations, this mutual hclpfulness. have
grown more marked from year TO
year, even from the beginning TO this
hour.
Notre Dame and St. Mary's should
be very close TO South Bend. even SO
close as to be parts OF one united
community. The corporate limits of
the city extend 10 the grounds Of the
university. The origin of the city and
that of the university date from the
same time. their growth, day by day
and year by year. has been cOntem-
poranecus and uniform; and their in
terests have been at all times mutual
OF interest was not fully recognized.
So far as the university and acade-
my are concerned. South Bend should
be in all respects a college town with
all the sympathies. activities and
mutual advantages characteristic of
college towns. 1t is to be said that
this mutuality Of interest between the
great educational Institutions aad the
great manufacturing municipality has
in recent years Increased to 81 most
gratifying degree.
South Bend has recognized, year by
year in a most cordial name. the
continued prosperity of her studious
neighbOrs: while the good will thus

Notre Dame and st. Mary's are proud

IT Is not generally known how
nearly identical in time NOtre Dame
an6 South Bend are as - their origin.
Both may be said to have come into
existence in the same year-1S29. 1t
is true that as 10 each there were
some previous fragmentary items Of
history. As 10 the city we know that
Pierre Navarro. our first white settler,
came in 1920; that Alexis COQuillard
established a trading post in 1923;
and that Lathrop Taylor established
another in 1927, so also as 10 the uni
versity we know that Auonez Dablon
and other missionaries were here in
the seventeenth and eighteenth CEN
turtles. But it was not until 1929 that

ment Of the city, and Of the univer-
sity continued in a remarkable man
ner from 1929 to 1914, the progress
of each was fitful and uncertain. Dur
ing these 15 years no one could with
any certainty predict that there would
ever be such a university or such a
city. In 1881 the town was plated
and steps were taken to establish il
as the county seat, and in 1885 an
attempt was made to incorporate.
years of uncertainty. Indeed the town
went decidedly backward. The cor
pOration was abandoned.
Two steps forward were, however,
taken. The Defrees brothers con-
Quoted a newspaper for two years, a
most praiseworthy enterprise, but a
bad failure. The other step taken
was the removal of the Pottawatomies
to the far west. But by 1914 the
Inill races were undertaken and
bridges over the river began TO take
the rlace of ferry boats. The time
was ripe and the town was re-incor-
porated.
A like struggle, toll uncertainty
marked this early period in the his
tory of Notre Dame. Two other mis-
sionaries, Father De Seville and
Father Petit, succeeded Father Boden
and then in 1912 came Father Sorin
1t is not a little remarkable that the
charter Of the university should have
come from the legislature in the
same year as the incorporation of the
city, 1914.
Thus the first indication of life in
each was in the same year, 1929, and
the mature development of each into
a complete corporation also came in
the same year, 1914, and since that
date the twin sisters have continued
TO flourish side by side, each adding
to the growth and prosperity of the
other. So may they continue for un.

ending years. II was not until the
war period that both attained to Wig
orous and healthy growth. South
Bend became a city in 1865 and at
the same period Notre Dame and st.
Mary's first knew that large influx OF
students which has since continued
with constant increase.
Named South Bend.
Finally as in the year 1929, the
prophecy of the surveyor named the
south bend of the, st. Joseph as "a
beautiful site for a town. so 1t was
in the same year, 1929, that Father
Bodin had his vision Of the future
university, each, as we may believe,
the unconscious prophet of the great
city and its sister institutions of
providence of God to arise in the vast
wilderness that surrounded and cop
ped the site of each.
In the deed records of your court
house is presented the conveyance
made by Father Bodin of the lands
bought of him in 1929. The descrip-
ton is indefinite enough as was neces-
sary in those days. "All the lands
and appurtenances thereunto belong
ing which he the said Stephen Theo-
dore Bodin owns within two miles OF
the South Bend on the east side of
the St Joseph river in st. Joseph
county embracing two small lakes of
about 60 acres of suTface."s
The condition of the conveyance
suggests the prophecy: THAT the
grantee above named (BishOp Brute)
or his heirs and assigns shall apply
the said estate, its fruits, rents, etc.
to the establishment Of an orphan
aylum or to such other religious
charitable institution as they will
judge most proper and beneficial TO
humanity and morality"
And there were prophets in those
days!

the first firm steps were taken from
which we may date the beginning of
that splendid progress which has
since marked the career OF the city
and her neighbors.
1t was in the year 1929 that the
survey of the Michigan road was
completed. The opening OF that
great highway to the South Bend Of
the ST Joseph was the actual be-
ginning of the city. When the sur
veyor of the road came to this bend
Of the river he wrote as If in pro-
phetic vision, these words upon his
field notes This would be a beau
tiful site for a town." Ii was in the
same year. 1929. that our pOstoffice
was established. though it was named
as at South old, Allen County, In
diana"
For though the south bend OF the
st. Joseph river had been for ages a
well known locality, yet South Bend,
as the name of a town was as yet not
upon the map, and the county Of ST.
Joseph had not yet come into exist
ence. Both. however. were but a
year or q. little more, away in the
future and South Bend was soon to
be the second permanent seat of jus
tice for the new county, so did our
fair city take her place in history in
the year 1929.
1t was also in the year 1929 that
the famous missionary, Stephen
! Theodore BOdin. purchased the land
where Notre Dame now stands and
where he built the little log struc-
ture, a copy of which stands on the
banks of St Mary's lake and which
/ served for residence and chapel. This
rude structure was the center of a
mission extending into Michigan, In
diana and Illinois, the brave but
! feeble beginning of Notre Dame uni
/ versity and st. Mary's academy and
! dating also from 1929.

Calls attention TO the fa-
cilities for education offered
to the people of South Bend
by the presence at their
door of a school of arts, sci
ence, engineering, law and
journalism, which enjoys
worldwide repute.
There are many parents
who realize the advantage
of having their SONS pursue
their education under home
influences. For such par
ents the facilities offered by
the we'll established courses
at Notre Dame are a great
boon. There is also a High
School department as well
as a boarding school for
very young boys.
The expense incident to
membership in the Univer-
sity as a day student is
small. The cost of tuition
is one hundred dollars. Stu
dents desiring to take their
MONDAY meal at the Uni
versity pay fifty dollars
extra.
