Gary News

T. E. Knotts is in Hammond today attending: to business matters for the city. Mr. Calhoun, the Inter-Ocean man, completed his work here this morning and returned to Chicago. Mr. and and Mrs. Sears were up from the south end this afternoon for a short visit on Euclid avenue. C. J. Holmes of Lowell visited here for a short while this morning. His daughter returned with him from East Chicago, where she has been at work for some time. The Falkneau Construction company has unloaded hundreds of carloads of lumber and !s unloading more every day. Jackson street presents the appearance of a gigantic lumber yard, rather than of a fine residence street. Teams are busily engaged in excavating the filled-ln foundations of the company's office building north of the bridge. Large quantities of material for the building have been unloaded and the work of putting up the building will begin within a few days. Ingwald Moe, the contractor, who is building the Illinois Steel company's barracks, occupied by the structural steel and iron workers, is figuring on a large building to be erected soon by C. Dellachlesa, of Chicago, south of the Wabash. Mr. Warne has his building nearly completed, just north of the one being built by Mr. Farrell. He will run a market and grocery and occupy the rear portion as living rooms. He has a 6nug little place In a good location Thomas O'Connell with John J. Far rell, completed the arrangements for the opening of Mr. Farrell's saloon the first of the week. Mr. Farrell will occupy tho building he has erected, on what Is known as Eastern avenue, be tween the Michigan Central and the Wabash. The Wabash Railroad company Is busy grading for the extension of its witches and extra spurs. As soon as those have been placed with some de gree of certainty, steps will be taken towards the erection of a commodious depot on Broadway, when the present tower near Tolleston will be removed. Mr. McCarty, foreman of the blast furnaces at South Chicago, looked over the work that is being done here, today He was well impressed with the work that has been done and had no hesitancy in saying that he believed this to be the greatest project of its kind in the world. E. E. Beck, the insurance Inspector at Hammond, made an official inspec tion of this part of his terrritory yes terday. lie came in over the Michigan Central, being the first man to use the new service stopping at Broadway. Mr. Beck Is of the opinion that it will be but a short time until his district is divided on account of the rapidity of Its growth now since Gary is begun. Quite a number of the school children and Mr. Wilderrnuth took a moonlight ramble down to the home of Mr. Quillen in South Gary last evening, in celebration of Hallowe'en. Several of the more strenuous members of the" hopefuls followed the time-honored customs in vogue on that evening. No mischief of any consequence was done. The most prominent prank was the placing of a hotel sign on the quarters being erected by Attorney Wilderrnuth. The work on the machine shop and blast furnaces Is at rest as far as the structural portions are concerned, on account of the strike of the workers. They, together with the structural men in South Chicago, quit this morning it is said, on account of not wishing te work with non-union men here. The company has maintained an open shop policy here hitherto and will probably continue to do so. The hindrance will probably prove only temporary. The men have been getting seventy cents an hour and are provided with the best quarters that Gary affords for any ef the workers here. Burnside and Daulphin Park, Mrs. M.
