CHICAGO PLANS
GREAT SEAPORT
Ideal Location Found in Lake
Calumet Recently Decided
to City by Legislature

Chicago, ILL.,. Sept. 27.-This city
seems destined, possibly soon. to be-
come the greatest inland harbor in
the world and one of the world
great seaports, 1t is predicted in Com
merce, publication of the Chicago
Association of Commerce. This dec
laration is called forth by the recent
visit to Lake Calumet. on the south,
by members of the Chicago City
Council with an eve to starting extern
sive improvements.
The recent passage. says Commerce,
of the submerged land ordinances
whereby Chicago acquires most of the
riparian rights around Lake Calumet
was the last step in the plan to make
the southern end of Chicago into a
seaport. About s1.000.0O0 is available
for drawing plans and getting work
started. Chairman Harry e. Little of
the council rivers and harbors COM
mittee believes that actual work will
begin in less than a year.
Laws passed by the last Legislature
decided Lake Calumet to the City oh
Chicago. City plan experts have in
the past frequently pointed to the
Calumet region and to Lake Calumet
in particular as the ideal location for
a great seaport. The lake is not at
present navigable. Under the city's
plans, 500 acres will be dredged out
in the center of the lake for a deep
water harbor. navigable for the larg-
est freight-carrying vessels.
Material obtained in dredging, to-
gether with waste from other sources,

NATIONAL ARMY
SHORT OF MEN
Filling Up of Guard Divisions
Causes Loss in Can
tonmentS

Washington, Sept. 27.-There is lit
tie doubt now that a large deficiency
of men will be shown when the first
instalment of the National Army
$4,000 men-has been modified.
Seventeen National Guard divisions
must be brought up to war strength
and several special service forces or
ganized out of this reservoir. so the
number of drafted men remaining at
the cantonments hardly will be suffi-
cient to organize the sixteen National
Army divisions at a full strength
basis. Whether incomplete divisions
Will be formed or call for more mon
issued has not been indicated.
Secretary Baker said to-day that
definite figures as to the number or
National Army men it will be neces-
sary to transfer to the National
Guard are not available. A duel proc
ess of organization at the guard en-
campments serves to delay complete
reports. Not only are these divisions
being modified for the first time, but
in the midst of that mobilization the
whole fabric Of the infantry army is
being reorganized on the new trench
warfare plan.
The fighting strength of the new
,division is now fixed at 1880 men.
The seventeen guard divisions on that
basis will have a total strength of
437.500 men.

be begun this week on the forma-
ton of the Dickinson College student

part of the curriculum at Dickin-
son and that Robert w. Irving. n
local attorney, assisted by Hays Nc
Laughlin, former lieutenant in the

AS the result of military training
last year, Dickinson enjoys the dis
tinction of having received more of
ficers' commissions and sent more
men into the Army than any other
small college. Instruction this year
will be supplemented by consldera-
ton of present day war problems.
The college battalion will later pe

Free Murder Suspects
Because Town Is Broke

st. Louis.-That the Granite City
police, far from having a solution of
the mysterious murder of Abraham
Schwartz, 34 years old, of 1922
O'Fallon street, st. Louis, will release
five suspects picked up in a general
investigation, was learned last night.
The police said the five men will be
freed to-day because Granite City is
broke" and Madison county has no
appropriation for feeding prisoners
held for investigation.
Schwartz, who had a shoe store in
Granite City, was murdered early
Sunday, and his body, riddled with
bullets and hacked, was discovered
near Cabaret Slough in Granite City
Sunday afternoon.
While 1t was reported that the
dogs of two hunters, James Kavey-
iesto and James Lingout, had discov-
cred the body beneath pile of brush
near the slough, a reporter learned
that Christ Perronne, IT years old,
living at Nineteenth and Spruce
streets, 400 yards from the slough,
was the first to tell the police of the
discovery of the body. The Granite
City police had reported the hunters
had notified them. Last night Per-
rome said that the hunters came to
his cottage and notified him.
Sergeant Thomas Black, night
chief of the Granite City police
force, admitted that there was an err
ror in saying the hunters had noti-
fed the police, and added that Per-
rome was the informant.
Black said he did not know who
was working on the murder mystery,
but believed the whole force was in
terested in 1t. He remarked that
three st. Louis detectives had spent
the day in Granite City and hadn't
found anything"

WORK ON COLUMBUS
DEMING ROAD CONTINUES

the citizens OF the county. es-
pecially those using the. Colum-
bus-Deming highway, to see the
thoroughly business-like and
workmanlike manner in which
the present Road Commissioners
are proceeding with the task Of
making, what has always been
a really bad road, into such a lane
Of travel as will go far towards
improving communication be-
tween the two points. not 10
mention the increased advan-
tages II vii offer the rural popu-
lation, who are. in reality the
ones most to be considered.
Taking that portion of the
road which is now being worked
as n criterion. IL Is evident that
those in charge Of this work are
certainly on the job and intend
10 give their best efforts to-
wards the attaining Of their
ideal; a perfect highway con-
Meeting the upper and lower
ends of the county.
At present the road gang is
working near 76 draw, across
which an excellent and sub
stantial single span bridge has
been erected; and which. except
for minor details is ready for
use. The approaches 70 this
bridge are being graded. eight
fotr horse teams being used for
hauling purposes and three other
teams on the scrapers. The ma
terial used for the topping and
gilling on the grade is being
taken from a gravel bank lust
south and east Of the draw and
is of excellent character for this
purpose. as Il contains heavy
enough substance TO form an
ideal and wearing highway when
II becomes packed.
Ordinary shovel work being
too slow for loading the wagons
with eXcavated material. and
much more costly. the Commits
sionerrs by the exercise OF a
little ingenuity have effected a
considerable saving, not only in
money but in the amount Of time
consumed in doing the work. A
narrow cut. sufficiently wide to
accommodate a wagon, was
made in the gravel bank and af-
ter the proper depth had been
reached a wooden bridge was
l9id over the same. The scra-
pers full Of material are then
driven on same and the contents
dumped in the wagons landing
below. With eight wagons and
three scrapers going there Is no
time lost bv this method and a
wagon is filed and away with
IFS load almost as soon as the
drivers can get their teams into
position.
Excellent work is being done
10 prevent the heavy flow of
water from the mountains cutt-
ing the road TO pieces. bitches
in the forms Of VS. are in the
process Of being scraped out
with the apex of the V at such
points on the road as were for
merly washes; at these points
concrete spillways will be put in,
which should prevent the re-
occurrence of the many bad
bitches which have always made
travel bad. The spillways
should serve their purpose very
much better than do the cid gal
vanized iron culverts, which on
this road, at least, have proven
in the majority Of cases n failure
The standard Of work as set
D. by the Commissioners, on that
portion of the road where work
Is now being done, is high and
If continued in the same ratio
will produce a road of which
Luna County will be proud.
