MUCH WORK BEING DONE ON INTERURBAN NEAR THAYER

Two Large Grading Machines fat at Work and Some of the Road Bed Already Completed. We have it from reliable authority that a large force is now at work on the interurban Thayer and that an addtional force of 40 men was to be put at work today. Two large road grading machines have been put to work, it is said, and some of the grading has been done between Thayer and Roselawn. The road will cross the Monon tracks at Roselawn at the depot, pass down the main business street running east and west and then follow a line to Mt. Ayr. The big land- owners are cheerfully contributing .the right-of-way and some of them, in addition, are making cash contributions. At the rate the work is qow progressing it should not v e long until the grading is completed to Mt. Ayr. It is reported that work has also commenced on the bridge at the Kankakee river, which will be built between the Monon railroad bridge and the wagon bridge.

Publisher Victimized on Newspaper Voting Contest

Crown Point Star. Mr. Janes, the pony contest man, who has been in Crown Point for the past six weeks conductings the pony contest for the Register office, took a French leave for parts unknown Monday evening, leaving in his wake an unpaid for pony, a considerable feed bill against it, and the failure to produce the second pony which he had promised before the contest came to an end. He had purchased the little animal of Paul Hathaway, of Lowell, but did not pay for it, and Liveryman Hayden was to hold it in charge until settlement came. The contest was closing and Janes, it is supposed, had not the wherewithal to produce the ponies, and to free himself from the obligations he had entered into with Editor Davison, he “hiked” out. He left word that he was going to Seattle, Wash., but if he cuts up many such capers, there are better places for him enclosed with stone walls. Mr. Davison informs us that he will continue the contest and fulfill his promises, though the heavy burden falls upon him. The contest will be for a time In hopes of regaining the loss sustained. These contests usually end with

the newspaper getting the experience and the promoter the money. The contest man agrees to furnish the ponies or other prizes and take a percentage of the business secured —usually half on the new business and twenty-five per cent on the old, and usually the promotor is as crooked as a ram’s horn, which proved true in this case. The second pony came here Wednesday C. O. D., which Janes had ordered from further down the state, and the two mean about S2OO.

John Brown spent last week attending the Marble ditch case now on at Rensselaer, which is also expected will take the whole of this week, and then it will not <be settled. Many thousand dollars is at stake for those north of the Kankakee river, whose lands are already drained by the dyke, and they will fight a hard legal battle before paying ditch assessments on land already dry and raising crops every year. It seems certain the matter will go into the supreme court before being settled, as each side is stubborn and all those interested have money to pay the fiddlers.—Crown Point Star.

INTERESTING NOTES FROM THE FACTORY ADDITION.

Big Force at Work .Turning Ont Cement Blocks—Many Improvements to Be Made in Addition. The factory addition is now a busy place and in a few days one will be able to'get some idea of the magnitude of this undertaking and what it will mean to the business interests of Rensselaer. A fine well of water was struck yesterday at a depth of 63 feet. The water raises in ’ the well to within about three feet of the surface. A force pump has been installed temporarily, but in a day or two a gasoline engine will be attached to a special pump at the well, and this z will supply water until the city mains are extended to the addition. Now that water has been secured the stork will progress rapidly, and the work oh the foundation of the warehouse will begin today. 7

A force of 15 men is at work making cement blocks and the force will be increased as soon as other machines and another cement mixer arrives. Over 600 cement blocks are being turned out dally. The blocks are of three sizes, 8x10x24 inches to be used in the warehouse, and 8x8x24 and Bxßxl6 to be used in the factory building. Sixteen men are engaged in hauling sand and gravel. The sand costs $1.75 delivered, which is rather expensive and when the immediate needs are supplied it is hoped to be able to ship in sand and gravel on the Monon at a much less price. The factory building proper will require from 18,000 to 20,000 blocks, and the warehouse 5,000. The main building will be 76 feet in its narrowest jsart, 136 feet in the widest part, and 187 feet long. It will be 37 feet high, containing 2 stories, with a balcony on the top floor, the match making machines -being located on the second floor. The warehouse will be 30x110 feet, and will be flreproof and divided into compartments holding a car load of matches each. In case of fire it cannot spread from one compartment to another. The warehouse will not be connected with the factory building. It will be one story in height and built of steel and cement. The grading of the switch has been completed and a force of men are at Monon awaiting orders to lay the rails and ties as soon as they arrive. The track will be alongside the buildings on the north, where goods can be easily loaded from the warehouse. Another carload of machinery is expected today. ' ' / . It is the intention of the company to erect ten or twelve cement houses for the use of the employes as soon as they can get to it; grade the streets and place stone on them, and lay several hundred feet of cement sidewalks "and set out trees, and then place the unsold lots on the market for use of those who want to build. A 10-inch sewer will be laid from the factory building to the Bedford drain, which empties into the river. It is thought this will furnish sufficient drainage, for the present at least. One of the employes brought here from Elkhart already has his family with him and has rented a house down town until a residence can be built for him. Another employe expects his wife next week and a house will have to be provided for him.

Unimproved Farm Near Kentland Brings $175.00 an Acre.
