LOTS FOR. SA.UC

That Theodore Roosevelt, president of of the United States of America, will be seen In Hammond next September and will speak to the thousands who would go hundred of miles to see and hear him. Is almost a certainty. THE TIMKS 1 In receipt of information that the president will make a whirlwind tonr nf Indiana during the coming presidential campnlgn and that the chance of his coming to Hammond, easily rccognired ns the lending elty In this corner of the stnte, are most favorable.

Mr. Roosevelt will tour the Mate In the Intercut of 'William H. Taft's campaign for president. The Indiana republican state central committee has already arranged to have Mr. Roosevelt In Indlann fc.r three days. The dates have not been fixed definitely but the Itinerary will begin early In September. Thatcher A. Parker, republican county chairman of Vigo county Is authority for the statement that the president will come to Terre Haute and speak there In September. The Lake county republican central committee Is after President Roosevelt pretty alnine and Chairman F. Richard Scbaaf has no doubt but what the party leaders will make Hammond a stopping place and It will be made a rallying point for all the cities and towns within a radious of thirty or forty miles. V 1th the president, will of course, be republican state nnd nntlonnl leaders of note and Lake county will witness such a political spectacle and celebration ns It has never seen In all Its history when President Roosevelt comes to Hammond. The republican Idol spoke In Hammond during the first McKlnlcy campaign and had a great reception but he was only here a few minutes In the middle of the day. His second visit to the city will take place under far different circumstances from the visit when he hegau to make Amerlcnn history.

United States Boats and Illinois Naval

Reserves Will Escort the Big Ore Boat Into Gary From South Chicago Amid the Scenes of Great Pomp. An event In Gary vrhleh will markt an epoch In the history of Gary, will take place July 22 or 23, when the first cargo of ore, In the hold of the steamhip "E. H. Gary," Is brought Into ta Gary harbor, consigned to the Indiana! Steel company. On one of those days the Gary Commercial club vriU pay tribute to the occasion by a mounter celebration In the nature of a naval and shipping display, which, for Its novelty and significance, will be unparalleled In the west. NEW ERA BEGINS. The landing of the great ore boat at the docks of the steel company means that this gigantic enterprise is nowpassing from the construction period into the' stage of completion, and

heralds "the opening ot the great mills at a date which seems almost Inconceivably near. The landing of the rawproducts means that the company is ready for business, and will tend to Instill greater confidence in those who have already invested in the city property and hundreds who are now planning to follow the lead of the pioneers. WILL FIRE A SALUTE. In order that the occasion may be fitingly observed, the Gary Commercial club, whose members form the necleus of the business enterprise in the city, are preparing to make the event a

1 memorable one for the city and the j entire west. An escort of three United

States crafts will take the "E. II. Gary" into the harbor, and upon their arrival a salute of twenty-one guns will be fired by each of them to announce to the world that tl.e seconod epoch in the construction of the plant has been reached. INVITATIONS LIMITED. The plan for the celebration of the day has not been definitely decided upon by the entertainment committee of the Commercial club and their invited in charge. The one which wiil most likely be carried out. however, will limit the affair to the members of the Commercial dug and their invited guests, as it has been found impractical to open the mills to the general public, as this would mean a loss of manythousands of dollars and a great delay.

TOWLE OPERA HOUSE JOB.

Three of the party jumped for shore and walked three miles to the cottage where they arrived exhausted at daybreak. The boat was taken off the rocks the afternoon with the assistance of two launches, six men and a team of horses. It was found to be not badly damaged and will be fully repaired in a few days. It was the worst experience that any member of the party ever had and at the cottage at Pebbles every person who took that boat ride is thankful that he is still alive.
