KNOTTS WILL BUILD TO LOWELL.

Lake County Star. A. F. Knotts, the big trump card at Gary, who seems to make everything gohe undertakes, was here on Wednesday, and said to us: “If Lowell, Cedar Lake and Crown Point people will secure a 66-spot right-of-way from Lowell to Cedar Lake, and from there to Crown Point, and thence to Gary, or as far as the little Calumet river, I will see that a trolley line is running over the route next year.” He further says they don’t consider it would pay at first, but eventually it will and they will be on the ground floor., He imagines it would be the making of the towns and the country south of the Little Calumet river in Lake oounty, and further believes that many working in Gary would come to Crown Point to makp a home, and in a short time it would be double tracked. More than that, he promises to run over all steam railroad tracks on the line, thus avoiding danger and expense. It seems to us that Mr. Knotts has made a mighty fair offer and he means it. The money is ready for the enterprise. It’s worth a few minutes of any man’s time to look into our new fall clothing. Drop in, we would like to show you. Rowles & Parker.
