Aw1kes.
HAD MOST MEN IN LINE
Another Picture % Interest Was That
Taken At Carthage, When
Lincoln Spoke
There.

Fred L. Vandegift OF Kansas City,
writing to the editor of The Gate City,
says that James L. King, state IL
brarian of Kansas, possesses photo
graphic copy (reduced size) Of an oil
portrait OF Abraham Lincoln, won by
the Keokuk "Wideawakes" in the au-
tumn Of 1860, when Mr.. Lincoln was
the candidate of the republican par
ty for president. The award was for
the greatest number OF torchbearers
by any one company in a procession
formed by "Wideawakes" assembled
from the district surrounding Keo-
kuk The uniform Of the wide
awakes" was black oilcloth cape
and cap, and the torch was a kero
sene lamp hung on an axle and car
ried aloft by pine pole. The demo-
Gratis, who in the north were for
Stephen A. Douglas, had similar or
ganization called the "Hickories";
their uniform hickory shirt and
trousers and torch carried upon q
hickory stick.
1.-THE picture in Mr.. Kings posses
sion," continued Mr.. Vandegrift,
shows the portrait copied by the
camera, and on one side Thomas Lin
coin and on the other Emily Lincoln,
children of James Lincoln and cousins
of Abraham Lincoln. The oil portrait
in the Photographic copy, shows Mr..
Lincoln wearing a swallowtail coat,
turn down collar and black necker-
chief, his left hand thrust into his
bosom, and his right, suspended by
his side, holding roll OF paper.
This picture is a part of collec-
ton of manuscripts and portraits and
scenes incident Of Mr.. Lincoln's ca
reer, and came to Mr. King from his
brother, the late Henry King, editor
OF the st. Louis Globe Democrat. The
Photographic copy OF the oil portrait
was given to Henry king by c. G. Ty-
Ter. who for fifty years has been a
merchant at Fountain Green, Han
cock county. Illinois. Possibly Mr.. Ty-
Ter may know what became Of the oil

in the real estate business centers
about the report made at the dinner
which closed the membership cam
paign OF the South Bend realty
board. by William Happ, chairman

housing conditions here. which
shows that South Bend is confront
ed BY a housing shortage even more
serious than was at first believed

Information already gathered

city. This Is a surprisingiy small
number for this time Of year when
there are usually more houses vacant
than at any other season. Under
normal conditions a housing short

that OF last spring, when the short
age caused no small amount of in

According to William Happ, every

more houses within the next few
years. and within the neigh0orhOod
OF 1000 new houses this year. This

have been obtained from local man
ufacturers as TO the possible num-
Der OF extra men they would en-
ploy this year and next. The new
Studebaker addition is expected 70
bring between 1000 and 1000 more
men TO the city The replies of other
manufacturers indicated that prob
ably as many as 1000 more men
will be given employment in other
local factories. These are actual
figures which have been gathered
and they leave out Of account the
additional people who may be
brought to the city by new indus
tries coming here. In all if the fig
ures collected by the committee
are accurate. South BEND will prob
ABLY add at least 5000 people 10 her
population during the present year.
and the indications are that the
1905 population mark will be
reached by 1920.
When IL is remembered that the
present building rate in South Bend
Is about 400 houses a year the Sc
robustness OF the situation will be
appreciated. IL means that if the
new people coming into the city
during this and the next few years
are not TO be forced 10 live in huts
and tents and shacks Of every de-
scription. and if the people already

located here and renting, are not to
pay exorbitant rentals. that the
present building rate will have TO
be doubled, if not trebled
AS Mr.. Happ pointed out in his
talk, such situation is a satisfac-
tory one from the real estate mans
point Of view, but that the real es-
tate man is as much interested as
anyone in seeing that the house
shortage does not develop 10 such
serious proportions as TO hurt the
city.
Under the expected circumstances
it would but be natural for the city
10 experience a great building boom
this year The number of houses to
be built would be ordinarily expect
ed 10 be increased by a considerable
per cent.
The Investigating committee hopes
to be able TO present conclusive
proof TO local investors that prop
erty investments in South Bend af-
ford a good place 10 put their
money. 1t is only in this way that
the expected serious situation can be
dNtlleu.
Local banks have a sum of about
100000. which is available for
building loans at the prevailing rate
OF interest. Local interests i'm all
lines have cooperated with the
realty board in making the invest
cation and have expressed their
willingness to assist in any way in
preventing the threatening situation
all Of which is most encouraging.
The local board now numbers los
members, being twice the size OF any
other board in the state outside OF
Indianapolis. Among the various
things which the local realty board
mas interested itself in recently is
the proposed legislation TO secure
the passage of city planning lesisla-
ton. and the effort TO bring the city
