THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES

Gary News

The Chicago papers announced that Messrs. Perkins and Gary of the executive board of the steel corporation were to visit us today. They arrived in Chicago today and may visit tomorrow. F. M. Savage of Joliet is looking after his InteeMs here today. He is among the fortunate purchasers on Broadway and is making extensive plans for his building. The new waiter that Fitzgerald Bros, secured from Chicago, arrived today. They have practically completed the addition on the northwest corner, which contains quarters for their own people. The voting place for the fourth precinct in Calumet township, which by the way Is the largest precinct in the county, will be at the postoffice building. Arrangements are being made to have the quarters In readiness for the first general election in Gary. , The second one of the barracks buildings is beginning to show up in good shape, the frame work being well under way. A large number of men are rushing the completion of the building lis the structural steel and iron men are coming in more rapidly than was anticipated. Ed. Simon, the Democratic candidate for joint representative, was looking after the political fences he ha3 been building this afternoon. Ed. wore a smile that would seem to indicate that he had the whole thing sewed up in a sack. Our only suggestion is that he should take care, lest some one hand him the. wrong sack. The furniture for the marshall and the city engineer is now in place in the city hall and the work of putting in the cells will soon be complete, the heating apparatus having been secured. These quarters will be used by the city authorities until more permanent ones are erected or rented next year. They may not erect at once, rather waiting for a little while so as to build more in accordance with the city's needs when it becomes the metropolis that it will. The second school building is now completed and the furniture is being Installed. School will probably not be held in it this week, inasmuch as the teachers expect to attend the institute at Hammond on Friday and Saturday, and there would be only one day left. Mr. Quillen and Mr. Wildermuth are arranging to divide the work between themselves, the one taking the upper grades and the other the lower grades. There will be two distinct schools, so as to give the teachers the utmost freedom In making the schools do the best possible work. Messrs. Thorp and Robinson, vice presidents of the Illinois Steel company, dropped in for a few moments nt ttre Land company's offices -.at noon. They were making particular Inquiry concerning the shooting and, at A. F. Knotts' invitation, expect to spend several days here later on, getting probably the last opportunity that this part of the country will offer for good hunting. This year will undoubtedly prove the death-knell of hunting in the north end of Lake county, because by next year the gigantic mills and furnaces will be in operation sending out in every direction the thousands employed there, with the large railroad traffic and the building up of the territory along the river, which will drive on the already wary water-fowl. The Land company has decided to pave Virginia street at the e'arliest possible moment and continue it across the river to the nortli to the mills and furnaces in the form of a macadam roed. This will give ready access for the working people to the mills, inasmuch as the part of our city lying to the east of Virginia street, has been set aMde particularly for them. Here they may purchase lots at prices, which in many cases, sell for less than the cost of the improvements, and may build without hindrance, beyond some very general rules to prevent overcrowding. The railroads through here ulong the Grand Caiuinet river must elevate theii tracks froam Broadway across and beyond Virginia street, which cuts out any danger from the prude crossing at the east entrance to tue works north of the river. East Chicago A. II.

Mr. Hill will take charge of the laboratory at Clarksburg. Mr. Sehrage of Whiting, was in East Chicago yesterday inspecting the ce inent walks and foundation under the old Pepin hotel. The work has just been completed by Moon & Hale. Mr Sehrage found the work most satis factory and accepted the same. About S o'clock last night a fire alarm from the Daftdson foundrv was sent in. The tire department imme diately responded, but upon reaching the ground found that the slight blaze had been extinguished by the com pany s aruieu aepanmeni. i tie cause of the fire was sparks from the cupola In which the iron is melted, igniting ihe wood casing surrounding the scale The loss was very small.
