Sausage is the popular dish for cold weather and it is best with Cakes and Maple Syrup in the mornins: when the appetite must often be stimulated. Most persons like Sausage, but many are afraid of it. But the Kunzman Sausage will be eaten by thousands in the Calumet District this winter on account of its known purity and delicious flavor. The price is low too 10c per pound.

Times have been hard and dollars look big, but Coal we must have. Pew things are so necessary as fuel.

PUP AND jlSPEDIGBEE East Chicago Solon Is Bothered by a Momentous Dog Case. (Special to Thb Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Nov. 28. It took the wisdom of a Solomon to decide a dog case In Judge William A. Reiland's court yesterday afternoon. The dog was one with a pedigree as long as that

of a real, live English earl, and from

the pup's appearance In the court room, was about as lively. The canine orglnally belonged to Lawrence Scotnik, a foreigner In the south end of the city. Scotnik had a mate to the up, and made a present of it . to a friend, Stanley Domkowskl. Stanley, however, managed In some way to get possession of both dogs, and evidently preferred the one belong lng to his friend Scotnik. He thereupon disposed of that presented to him, selling it for $10, and for five weeks kept the stray hound from view. At least, so claims Scotnik, and it was only yesterday morning that he found out the deception that had been practiced upon him. He then secured a writ of replevin and claimed damages amounting to $20, by reason of the dog being missing at the time he was made an offer by a

purchaser. Domkowskl !

Sore of His Own District. Mr. Shlvely did not disclose what the purport of the letters were, other than that he would receive the support of certain sections of the state which was entirely unexpected. He feels that his prospects are brightening every day, which seems to be in accordance with the sentiment throughout the city. Although there has been considerable dissension among the party leaders at Elkhart, Mr. Shlvely is sure of carrying his own district, the thirteenth. It Is also believed that he will have

mercial club to Indorse Shlvely.

Second Only to Kopelke.

The South Bend attorney has many

personal friends in ' both Hammond

and Gary. He has always been very

popular in Gary especially, as evi

denced by the fact that he was chosen unanimously to make the principal ad

dress at the county and Joint demo

cratic conventions held this year in the

steel city. Those who met him at South

Bend Wednesday for the first time and heard him talk at the Commercial club

banquet were favorably impressed.

Mr. Shlvely is an able man and stands

second only to Johannes Kopelke In the

esteem of the voters of Lake county

If the Crown Point attorney cannot land the position, both republicans and

democrats of this county would be glad

to see Mr. Shlvely get It.

Is Gary to be a one-Industry town! Judging by the number of applica

tions for factory sites now bein- considered by the Gary Land company, a

subsidiary corporation of the United

States Steel company, It Is not. It has been known recently that there have been over one hundred small factories

which have made application for sites in the vicinity of Gary on property owned by the land company.

These, however, have not been made

in the past month or so, but represent the number which at the present time would like to locate In the vicinity of Gary. The Gary Land company, with its thousands of acres, represents the

largest number of tracts for industrial

sites in the county, and the land which

it owns is probably as desirable as any to be found An Industrial Barometer. The applications for land which they have received, therefore, is a good barometer of the indstrial activity which is now sweeping over the country, and the figures as shown above are nothing short of astounding. Most of the applications are for property west of Gary, largely because of the fact that their largest holdings are in that direction. At the present time the applications

referred to are being considered and at the , proper time this land will be

disposed of to the most desirable com

panies. In considering the applications

however, it is taken for granted that those using the products of the Indiana

Steel company will be given the prefer

ence. As far as that is concerned, how ever, the great majority of those mak

lng applications have done so for the

reason that they can secure such prod

ucts from the Indiana Steel company.

thereby saving the cost of shipment, Independent Concerns Want In.

There is no question but what the

manufacturers of steel and iron in their

diversified forms will dominate In the industrial activity of the Calumet region, and that the Indiana Steel com

pany will be the greatest of them all, but it Is an important fact that independent Industries desire to locate in this region and on the property of the

TO HAVE A TEAM

Gary will have a basket-ball team

this year which will represent the city, but owing to the fact that a suitable hall cannot be secured, they will have to schedule out of town games entirely. The team will work hard from now

on until snow flies, working in the

open air, until they feel that they have

had enough practice to that they will bo reasonably accurate in playing indoors.

The members of the team have all

had more or less experience in playing

the game and feel that as soon as they can get together and do a little team work, that they will be able to carry

away a few scalps this year. The boys have been practicing regularly on the old tennis, court in the open air, where the baskets have been erected. ,

The members of the team so far are:

Forwards, W. Smith and F. Osborne; center, F. Rawley; guards, H. Gibson, E. Glenn; substitutes, F. Blitz, C. Dolemen. Manager Sam Sax will start to

schedule games at once.

The people of Gary are becoming highly indignant over the conditions they are subjected to by the officials at the local station of the Lake Shore railroad. . Night after night the electric lights on their elevated platform and the stairway leading to the street are turned off and passengers who alight from the night trains from Chicago are compelled to grope their way through the darkness, eometimes narrowly averting Injury in the rush which takes place. On Thanksgiving night nearly 100 passengers got oft the 9:25 train and the platform was In total darkness.

Even the lights In the station had been turned off. In the rush to reach the street one woman, whose name is known, fell down the stairway and was slipped upon by several men who were unable to see. Matches were lighted and the woman, more or less bruised, was assisted to her feet and was taken to her home on Jefferson street. Many Complaints Are Heard. The attention of the police has been called to the fact that the lights were turned out and Chief Martin has made an Investigation, but he is powerless to act. When the train arrives at the station Chief Martin has two officers stationed at the platform to prevent pick-pockets and thieves from robbing the passengers, but owing to the darkness men of this character could work at will and the officers would be powerless to prevent them. The Lake Shore railroad receives more patronage from Gary than any other railroad and the conditions at the local station they are subjected to seems to be the rankest kind of Injustice in return. At least half a dozen complaints were received at this office during the last two days and there has been much talk about the conditions around town. The least that could be expected of the Lake Shore would be for them to keep the platform lighted at the arrival of each train.

SIEVE 3HE1ICH KILLED

In the next ten years, If all of these

100 industries, or others which may

be secured, have purchased their prop

erty and have erected plants, it will

mean the employment of probably as many men as the concerns of the Unit-, ed States Steel corporation. The twenty-five square miles of territory with

in the limits of Gary and Toleston,

which will soon be a part of Gary, will

be none too large to hold all of the

plants and house the workmen.

Taking this fact into consideration, the prediction that in five years the cities of Hammond, Whiting, East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, will be

united, does not seem to be so much

of an empty dream as an outsider

would think without due consideration. Nine miles is a big territory for a

populated district, but it now looks like it would be covered with manufacturing plants and houses in a remarkably

short time.
