UN AISD AROUND GARY

GARY GUPID GETS BOW AND ARROWS Elopers Plan Romantic First Wedding in Gary Today No Bells to Ring. Now that a Chicago newspaper has discovered the first baby born in Gary and has in fiction (if not in fact) given it five city lots in Gary a couple have decided to be the first couple to be married in Gary, and it is said have made arrangements with Judge Huber to have the knot tied by Justice Huber. It is said that the couple are elopers and are planning to make quite a romance of the affair. The judge has carefully prepared himself for his first steel city wedding, but evidently has been pledged to secrecy for he will not divulge the names of the contracting parties. Cupids entry to Gary will be a welcome one and will probably be made through triumphant arches of steel. The mystery of the first marriage is the all absorbing one and the people of the whole Calumet region will be eagerly waiting to learn the identity of the little man with the darts. SUBMERGED LAND NOW BEING RECLAIMED. Filling is Being Made In Front of the Blast Furnace on The Lake Shore and is Now the Property of the Steel Corporation. That the United States Steel corporation is taking advantage of its right to reclaim submerged land is evidenced by the fact that already a large amount of submerged land has been filled in and is now the property of the Steel company. Most of the filling has been done along the shore in the vicinity of the big blast furnaces. Several small dump car systems run on small tracks are in use besides a large number of teams and the shore line has already been pushed out in some places as far as 150 feet, although to one not familiar with the former line, the difference is not apparent. Where the northermost blast furnace formerly jutted out some flty feet into the lake, there is now a stretch of beach between this furnace and the shore line. The material for filling comes entirely from the evcavations made and making for buildings that are to be erected. WORK RUSHED. Hundreds of Men Are at Work on Open Hearth No. 4. Over a hundred feet in length of the structural iron work on open hearth No 4 as it is known among the men on the Job has been put up and the hundreds of men are rushing the work on the building of the other nine hundred foot as rapidly as several locomotive cranes and numerous other appliances will permit. This is the first one of the four open hearth furnaces that are to bo built altogether. With the exception of the rail mill which Is to be almost fifteen hundred feet long these open hearth furnaces are the longest buildings on the plant site. They are over eighty rods long and contain an enormous quantity of concrete and structural iron and steel work. All four of them are placed just west of the site of the string of blast furnaces that reach down to the edge of the lake. TRACK ELEVATION STARTS. Train to Itnn Over lOIevnted ltoad Ileds the First of October. A large number of teams are busily engaged grading up the elevations on which the tracks of the several different railroads are to be laid. Chief Engineer Reynolds exprots to have the tracks laid and the Baltimore & Ohio trains running south of the river on the elevated ground by the first of October. The last of the temporary buildings on the hill east of Broadway have now been removed and the broad expanse of the low sand hills stretching from When, in Gary, stop, eat and drink at The Wabash Inn Washington St., near Wabash Tracks.

ANOTHER SANDSUCKER COMING. Will Aid in Pumping the Sand From the Ecavations. The Great Lakes Dredge and Dock company's second sandsucker is expected to arrive by the early part of next week when it will be put at work pumping out the sand within the wall that has been built during the winter. One sucker has been at work for some time and has already made goodly headway on the work. The several pile drivers of the company are diivig piling in the long stretches of wall still building and the spring work is under full headway. Briefs. Mr. Jones, of the firm of Castleman & Jones, spent the day in Crown Point on business. The twelve-foot brick shaft which the company has been sinking for several weeks at the edge of the beach on a line directly north from the large park has finally given so much trouble on account of the presence of quick sand that they have decided to abandon it and sink another shaft. It has already been sunk to a depth of some seventy-five feet. VALPARAISO NEWS The Whist club met with Mrs. E. Leonard this afternoon. Dr. C. A.
