We were informed this week that Messrs. Seaman, Thrasher, and piker interurban officials will go over the lane from Crown Point to Lowell, via Cedar Lake, within a few days, to see about the probable cost of extending the road that far, which will be the first prdimnary step in that direction, and it is hoped the work will be done eventually.—Crown Point Star. There has been a persistent rumor about town for the last few days that a new electric line is proposed to run through Henron. This road is to be financed by Eglish capital and win be bnilt from Hammond and run south through Highland, Hebron, Rensselaer and on down the line. It seems that there is much reason to think that this project will be pushed through for the intonnatfion so far received comes from a good reliable source. It is also stated that the road is likely to be finished within the next eighteen months. It certainty is hoped that there is something in this rumor and that Hebron will not be missed in anything of this nature that is built. W e need some outlet for passenger and freight traffic besides what little accomodation we now get from the Pennsylvania Co, —Hebron News.
