The C. & I. S., commonly known as the Indiana Harbor line, is putup a large water tank to the east of the B. & O. station on the north side.

All of the parts of the pile-driver

have now been assembled at the bridge across the river. The base

of the tower is in place and the

arger portion of the erection will

be completed today.

While playing with a number of

other little children about one of

the wheelers, Mr. Groat's little girl

had one of her fingers badly smashed

this morning. The nail was almost

torn off. The wound was dressed

and this afternoon she was as happy as ever.

The baker is now turning out over

six hundred loaves of bread a day.

He has demand for more than he can bake, but is handicapped on ac

count of the inability to get help.

He expects to increase the capacity until within a week he will be bakover a thousand loaves a day.

The Western Union cut in a line

here today so that we now have reg

ular telegraphic communication

aside from the railroad wires. Four

new poles were put in raising the

wires about ten feet higher and

moving them back from the side

track.

Supplies for the post office have

finally arrived and as soon as the

postmaster can get a communication to the superintendent of the ninth

division at Cleveland, we will begin

to receive mail. At first it will be

only four times a day, but as rap

idly as the service demands it, more frequent deliveries will be made.

Joseph Bohling, formerly of Ham

mond, is now with us. He is help

ing build a cook shanty for the Krug construction company. Joe is an old

friend of ours and when he says that

Hammond is getting dull, we believe him. He is impressed with the do

ings here and henceforth it's Joe for Gary.

Miss North, Uncle Sam's charming

representative at Millers Station,

stopped off between trains last evenand helped our new postmaster check up his supplies and incigive him a line on some of

his duties. Without casting any reon our postmaster, we bewe would rather step up to

the window at Millers and get our

mail.

An average of three train loads of material, supplies, machinery, etc.

are shipped in here daily. The B

& O. and the L. S. & M. S. handle the larger portion of the freight thus

far. Large quantities of the mate

rials to be used in the construction of the machine shops on the north shore of the "swale" have been

shipped in. Teams are now at

work leveling off for their founda

tions and erection will begin within

a short time.

Grading will begin on G street the

Broadway are lettered beginning

from the east side of the steel com

pany's holdings. One is amazed on

walking across the woods to get to

the L. S. & M. S. depot from Tolles ton to run into a large numebr o

men grading a very large street

there apparently in a wilderness

but this occurs several times during

the walk. T street and U street west of Broadway are now being

graded.

The Great Lakes Dredging com-

camp is being substantially made the expectation being that there will be work here for several years at that

part alone. The contract calls for the construction of the harbor from

the lake to the present B. & O. tracks. It is the intention to eventextend this harbor to the presL. S. & M. S. tracks. It is to

be 250 feet wide and is to have a

water depth of 25 feet throughout. A little idea of the magnitude of this

piece of work alone, can be gained by considering that a large part of

the cutting will be through hills.

The cut will be from 40 feet up to

80 and some places 100 feet deep.

CHORAL SOCIETY

WILL NOT COMPETE.

Failure to Secure Music Prevents

Clark Leaming from Taking the Chorus to Winona.

It was expected that Clark Leamwould take a large chorus to Winona to compete in the choral con

test that is to be held there the last of July, but there was difficulty in securing the music that was wanted and so the project had to be given up. There will be several competitions for music prizes from this city, howwho are entered as follows: Clark Leaming, piano; Roy Dietrich, Tenor; A. M. Stephenson, tenor.

Mr. J. J. Ruff has made a most satisfactory addition to his firm in the way of a partner-apparent. He is not to be a silent partner either, for he has already demonstrated the fact that he has a strong pair of lungs. It will some day be J. J. Ruff & Son, for Thursday night a twelve-pound boy made his appearat the Ruff home and already gives promise of being a capable jumember of the firm. The

mother is doing very nicely.
