WATERWAYS MEETING

1SP001MTE1E0 Twelve Persons and Two if Reporters Hear the Lecture. The address vrhlch wns given by S. A. Thompson, the field secretary of the National Deep Waterways association, under the auspices of the Hammond Business Men's association at Weis ball, attracted just twelve persons, including: two reporters. Mr. Thompson Is one of the greatest anthorttles on the subjeet of deep vratervrnys in the county and he has such wealth of facts and figures at his tongue's end that he could easily secure large amounts for bin lecture on the subject. But Mr. Thompson has been hired by the National Deep Waterway's asso ciation to carry on a campaign of edu cation over the country and because his lecture in Hammond was free, only a few attended. Instead of advertising Mr. Thomp son s lecture, as was expected .in a community which has so much to expect in the way of deep waterway development, the printing of articles in the newspapers was all that was done to secure the presence of a crowd. A massmeeting was to have been held. Instead, a family circle was formed. The president was absent and so the meeting was not even called to order. All of the business men drew up their chairs around Mr. Thompson and he talked to them as he would to a crowd in a parlor. Mr. Thompson's pride and dignity was not hurt. He was not made angry by the fact that after coming all the way to Hammond to deliver a lecture before the only organization of a civic nature in this city, he found that organization did not take enough interest in the matter of deep waterways to get out a corporal's guard at the meeting He did not even pity an industrial community which showed such a la mentable lack of interest in a ques tlon that ought to be of such vital interest to it. He simply proved his caliber by taking the small oppor tunity he had to spread the gospel of water versus any other kind of trans portation and did it cheerfully. His hearers, the faithful ones, sat around in open mouthed wonder at the array of facts which were presented to them and it was regretted time and again that the number of hearers could not have been 1,200 instead of a dozen Mr. Thompson showed conclusively the value of water transportation fa cilities compared with those by animal power, by rail and all other means, and his illustrations of the points he was making were remarkable. one dollar," said he "will carry a ton of freight in a wagon drawn by horses on stone roads, four miles counting the time of the driver; it will carry a ton on rails, drawn by horses 20 miles; it will carry a ton of freight on a railroad 200 miles, and it will carry a ton of freight in boats on the water 3,000 miles. That was but one of the illustra tions he made and the others were Just as remarkable. Mr. Thompson offered to return to this city Jn about a week and give his lecture if a crowd could be secured, but the -members of the Hammond Business Men's association who were present did not offer any suggestion as to a date for the meet ing, and so Mr. Thompson left this sleepy hollow, feeling that he had had one of the experiences of a lifetime A community with the greatest possi bilitles for waterway development in the world positively uninterested in the subject of waterways development. Some of the facts as given by Mr. Thompson were as follows: Cost of transporting one ton one mile by different methods: Horse and wagon. 25 cents: English steam lorry 5 cents; average of U. S. railroads, 7.48 mills; average of selected U. S. rail roads, 5 mills; Erie canal, 3 mills; cer tain European canals, 1 mills; aver age on Great Lakes ("Soo" records), .84 mills; coal on lakes and on Ohio river, 1-3 mill. Miles of transportation which can be bought for $1 at above rates: Horse and wagon 4 English steam lorrv 20 Average of U. S. railroads 1334 Average of selected railroads... 200 Erie canal 333 Certain European canals 668 At average rate on Great Iakes. 1,190 At rates for coal above given.. 3. 000 The cost of transportation determines the distance over which commerce can be profitably carried on. The United States must provide transportation facilities as good as those used by its competitors for the commerce of the world or fall behind in the race. CERTAIN RESULTS Many a Hammond Citizen Knows How Sure They Are. Nothing uncertain about the work of Do.in's Kidney Pills in Hammond. There Is plenty of positive proof of this in the testimony of citizens. Such evidence should convince the most skejtlcal sufferer. Read the following statement: Mrs. Nellie Shearer of 86 Plummer avenue, Hammond. Ind., says: "My son and I have both been benefitted by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. During the past year my kidneys have caused me much misery. I had severe pains through th.e small of my back and over my kidneys. The kidney secretions were frequent. I was bothered with headaches, did not rest well and was easily fatigued. After trying several remedies without them help, I took a friend's advice and bought a box of Doan's Kidney Pills at Bicknell & Co's. Drug store. I was surprised in a few days to notice an improvement In my condition and gradually became better until in a few weeks I egalne rny former good health." , .Fpr-sale by all ; dealers. - Pr!c$ 50
