wants transportation facilities for its employes now engaged in the construction of the plant southeast of Hammond and It wants it immediately. Messrs. H. B. Douglas and W. D. Webb appeared before the local council at its session last evening to ask assistance to secure this desired condi-
-tlon.
The immediate solution of the prob
lem can only come through the Ham-
remonstrance .from the township, as it
Is now in the country, to the county, and from the ward. In a city, to the
whole city.
mis means, in brief that if a majority
or the voters in a city sign a remon Ktrance the city will be dry. And like
wise, 11 me majority ot the voters in
an entire county sign a remonstrance
the entire county will be dry. Go At It With Vim.
ine house cleaned up an even 100
bills Introduced, yesterday, and the sen
ate forged ahead with 115. Commit
tees worked in the afternoon and even
ing and both branches were
aown io worn. Among me mils re
ported favorably to the senate, today was one transferring some of the old
so-called dormant funds to the state treasury; one appropriating $5,000 for
a monument to be erected to the mem
ory of General Lew Wallace in Statu

avenue, to the car works.
See Their Hopes Fade. Messrs. Douglas and Webb came to the council chamber with high hopes
but the aldermen threw cold water on them by telling them there was no use
in approaching the railway company, as it would be unreasonable in its demands. With the aldermen it was a
foregone conclusion that the railway
company would extend the -line, provided the city would grant it the same franchises and privileges that it en-
Joys under the franchise of 1904. Also
really the life of the franchise which would
u ouumcr luriy-seven years.
While there was strong objection to
giving the railway company any more rights, the aldermen nevertheless saw the general good that would m in

becretary of State Fred Sims came out today in favor of dally settlement
, of all state officers who have charge of money. There will be a big fight over this feature of the public depository iaw. The Goodwine bill provides for dally settlements with the state treasurer". The bill drawn up by Auditor of State John C. Biilheimer provides for monthly settlements. This thows the difference of opinions.-, 'There is no good reason why the state officers should not settle with the etate treasurer every day,' said the secretary of state. "This may necessitate some changes in bookkeeping -bringing the state system up to any -modern business system. This done, there is no good reason to prevent the daily settlements. For example, under present conditions, Ihave $40,000 now!

stream.

July, and Is for drainage purposes, is progressing nicely and at present the dredgers are engaged In blasting some
fourteen feet of wck, which is somewhat delaying proceedings. Largest Dredge in Indiana. The dredge boat that is being used is the largest one in the state of Indiana and two shifts, a night and a day shift are employed. The boat was constructed expressly for the work to
vv men it is now being devoted and when the great undertaking has been accomplished, the Iroquois river which has naturally an average width ln this vicinity of thirty feet, will be widened to from fifty to sixty feet, and deepened considerably as well. The dredge boat machinery was made at Marlon, O., and was shipped here and put in place. The lumber came from the forests of the Pacific slope and it took 110,000 f.eet of lumber to build It. The timber used is all of fir and red oak. The lumber alone cost $20,000. The sides of the vessel are made of exceedingly heavy timbers of cork, this, being necessary , to prevent the hull from springlng.a. leak onthe rock bottom of the- stream. - -The- flimems'ions of the boat are forty-two by ninety' feet.
