Crown Point, Ind., Aug. 3. The county commissioners today advertised for bids on the new $100,000 addition to the Lake county court house.

Crown Point, Ind., Aug. 2. R Marble of Wheatfield and Attorney A. Halleck of Rensselaer, came to Cue city in an automobile yesterday for the purpose of conferring with land owners of the Kankakee region regarding the matter of straightening the river. It is said that a petition is filed ami the ca.se will be heard in the September term of the Jasper county circuit court. It is believed that the straightening of the river will not only result in the drainage of large acres of marsh lands but it will make the property along the river much more available. Millions of dollars are being spent in the west for the reclamation of arid lands and the farmers of Lake county are of the opinion that a reasonable amount of money spent to reclaim some of the rich lands in the Kankakee basin will bring returns on the money invested. An effort is being made to create a strong public sentiment in favor of this project and it is thought that the wealth of the county will be greatly increased thereby.
