The March of Progress.
One OF the most remarkable in
stances OF the rapid increase in land
value Is shown in the development OF
North and Calumet townships. Along
about 1860 George W Clark. OF Chica-
go. purchased several thousand"
acres IN the northwestern part OF the
county for s1.25 per acre. Twenty
years later 5000 acres OF this tract was
released for round million dollars or
si23 per acre Twenty years after that

bought seventy-five acres OF that same
land for $1,000 per acre and only a few
years ago the Sinclair OH A. Refining
company paid $4,000 an acre FOR part
OF the land now occupied by its East
Chicago refinery. This refers only to
Industrial sites. The valuations in bus
mess sections or the cities have climb
ed 10 figures for lots alone which
make acreage prices puny.
In 1850. only seventy years ago there
was no established village in North or
Calumet township. In that year the

COAST TEAMS
 WILL UNDERGO
 MANY CHANGES

OAKLAND, Feb. F (by Associated Press).-More new faces will be seen in Pacific Coast baseball league lineups this year than during any season in five years, according to re- ports received here. Every club on the circuit will have new players.
 This year will also find two new coast league managers, William Ken worthy of the Seattle club and Cliff ford Gravath of Salt Lake. Ken worthy succeeds Clyde Wares and Gravath takes Ernie Johnson's place.
 Portland's club, which is to be re- built probably will present more new players than any other. Reports from the north say Manager Walter McCredie is planning on ten men who were not in the 1920 squad Salt Lake also will be partly rebuilt, the sale of Sheely and Johnson to the Chicago White Sox having left hole in the clubs offensive front.
 On the other teams probably from three to six new players will appear Oakland is after infielders and a couple of right handed pitchers Seat tie expects two or three infielders and pitchers. The Sacramento squad will not show many changes, al though Manager Bill Rodgers expects to have new infielder and pitcher San Francisco and Vernon are in the same position of needing infielders and pitchers. Los Angeles has ac- quired two outfielders and needs a catcher and twirlers.

FIFTEEN VETERANS IN CALIFORNIA TRACK TEAM

BERKELEY, Cal, Feb. F (by As sociated Press) About fifteen var sity veterans are expected to report for track and field work at the Uni versity of California here this spring.
 Albert ("Pesky") Sprott, track cap tain, predicted recently that the 1921 Blue and Gold team would be as strong if not stronger than the 1920 squad Sprott is half mile runner and last fall played half on the vic- torious California football team.
 Two "ten-second" men, Guy Calden and Glen Arkeley, will run in the 100-yard dashes this spring for Cali fornia. "Oxy" Hendrixson, champion intercollegiate quarter mile runner, will also wear the California colors.
 California, it is thought, will be weak in the hurdles and the two mile run.
