Hammond Times. Building .Work on the Monon depot in Hammond was still at a standstill today, because of the halt that had been called by the architects, Marshall & Fox, of Chicago. Their representative, Raymond F. • Horton, rejected about 75 per cent of the stone already in the building and on the ground, and is now pending between the railroad and the company supplying the stone, rela tive to the grading of the stone. The architects maintain that the stone is not up to the specifications ordered. Winter V. Porter brought a box of fine apples from his Jordan township farm to The Republican office this week and they were certainly excellent ones. Several varieties were in the box and among them a number of superb eating apples. Walter and his son Ross, who lives on the farm, were busy picking and packing ths apples this week and they have some of the finest apples we have ever seen. What a grand thing it would be if we could raise such apples year after year. Then we would be prepared to take care of them. Now thousands of bushels of apples will go to waste because there are no boxes or barrels in which to pack them.
