HAMMOND. Ind, April 13-It is
rumored in Gary that the optioning
Of $1,000. 900 worth OF acreage be

being done in behalf of the steel
trust. An earlier report was that the
activity was for an eastern steel cor

Substance is lent to the report,
realty men point out. because the
steel corporation is beginning to be
crowded. In 1906, when it acquired
5000 acres in Calumet township, it
was figured that that much land
would serve all purposes for 90
years Now at the end OF 10 years
the corporation has every bit of its
seven miles Of lake frontage i'm Gary
occupied with mills. mills under way
or storage reservoirs of coke. ore
and stone. Not only this. but the
corporation finds it necessary TO ex-

mile in building its tube works.
The great war prosperity has ma

and as a result the corporation $
new policy Of expansion finds it
cramped at Gary. If the land option
ed east of Gary is for the steel cor
poration. ii foreshadows an even
greater policy of expansion and one
that would add greatly to the wealth
