JACK O'BRIEN TO
FIGHT KETCHEL
Philadelphia, Jan. 8. Philadelphia Jack O'Brien today accepted an offer to fight Stanley Ketchel, the middleweight champion, forty-five rounds at the Jeffries club in Los Angeles. It is understood that Ketchel is ready to sign up at once. This seems to lend a new aspect to the statement of Willus Britt. who announced, after a talk with Ketchel, that the latter was willing to fight Jack Johnson tor the heavyweight title. Ketche! Is said to be confident that just one of his punches will put "Philadelphia Jack" to sleep long
before the forty-five rounds are over. O'Brien says his cleverness will beat the Michigan man.
HAYES AND DRISCOLL
IN THIRD BATTLE
PUGILIST PUT
UNDER ARREST
CROWN POINT MUST WAKE UP. The much mooted question of lnterurban connection with Gary is one
of the chief topics of conversation among the Crown Point business men! and many are anxious to see the matter assume definite shape, and thej actual work of construction commenced before many moons come and go Many contend that the Crown Point crowd hold a concession of incalculable value in the free right of way, which they have been lucky enough to procure from the fanners and those in the contigious territory of the projected line, and that to wait until other lines have obtained access to the principal streets of Gary would be suicidal to the success of the local lnterurban venture. To be so near success and yet so far away, seems a sad commentary on the Crown Point way of doing things, and to see other towns strain and gain a point toward connecting themselves to the steel city by interurban routes, while the local situation, with the exception of a few promises, remains about in the same condition as it was some six months ago, is only to add strength to the sobriquet of "Sleepy Hollow," that Crown Point's sister cities have so often heaped upon the hub of the county. Not disparaging in the least, the splendid success that has been awarded the efforts of those interested in the successful culmination of the proposed project, but the TIMES would like to be one with the rest, in joining in a movement of making anticipation, realization and giving Crown Point a facility that,
according to everyone . interested, would mean much toward its future wel
fare and advancements. ALL RECORDS ARE BROKEN.
The first edition of the TIMES today number fifteen thousand copies
and the demand for extra copies of the paper is expected to be so urgent
that another edition will be necessary. The paper is printed in three sec
tions and counts twenty pages. It is a reflex of the spirit of the Calumet region, which the TIMES covers from one end -to the other. We regret
that some of the advertisers who asked for space at the last moment could not be accommodated. No work was done on the edition until this week
and not having its new press the pressroom facilities were somewhat taxed
Tet the paper shows the hopefulness and confidence of the advertisers in
real estate and banking circles and as such it was intended. It is by far the
largest edition ever issued in this corner of the state and is the first of a large series of special editions which will be issued from time to time during the year 1909. All advertising records were climaxed as the number of
inches in advertising in today's TIMES is 2,070, breaking all past records

Gary received the news of the location of the great plant of the Ameri
can Locomotive Works east of that city with enthusiasm. It was learned that the information came to Chicago from New York where the deal was
consummated.
The site of the new plant is just east of the first sub-division of the Gary
Land company and is located on the property that was formerly owned by George Bacon and a syndicate. There are one hundred and thirty-five acres in the strip which lies Just south of the Baltimore and Ohio and the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railroads in section number two. This is the fullffifiment of the promise that was made by attorney K. K. Knapp of the firm of Knapp, Haynie and Campbell, steel company attorenys. The Land was sold recently to the Gary Land company for $1,700 an acre. It is reported that the new plant will employ only four or five thousand men at the start instead of ten thousand as some reports would have it. There Is no doubt, however, that it is to be a great industry. A YEAR'S PROGRESS IN THIS REGION.
show some effect of the great industrial progress that is being made. And when the progress of a single
year is taken into account, those pioneers in city building, the men who have come to this region and risked
all inits upbuilding, the real estate
men are deserving of the lion's share
of the credit.
The real estate men of today are building these communities along
lines. They combine with their en
terprise a real inspiration in their
work and the result is that the com-
munty is being built for the future.
No one doubts that another ten years will see all of the cities in the
Calumet region merged into one great
municipality. Corporate limits will
be abolished one after the other until finally Hoosiers will recognize in the
amalgamated cities of Northern In
diana the metropolis of the state.

One trouble with the man who Starts out to kll time is That he kills a lot Of time belonging: To busy People.
If it were possible to take a birdseye view of the entire Calumet region from Gary to South Chicago and then condense a year's progress into an hour the development of this locality would be a wonderful sight. A glance at the panorama before us at present would reveal the greatest activity at Gary. There, despite the Industrial depression, the building of the mills and the city has been goin on with wonderful rapidity.
Over north of the river huge buildings a quarter to a half mile longj spring from the ground as in a little Nemo's dream, at the command of that master magician W. P. Gleason. Great ore boats from the Northern Michigan mines may be seen entering the Gary harbor with their cargoes of ore, blast furnaces pop out of the ground like sprouting beans in the spring time, great track elevation projects have been completed. Over on the town site of Gary magnificent brick buildings raise their stately heads on Broadway with such rapidity that one would think some modern Alladin had rubbed his magic lamp and, lo! a mile of magnificent business blocks adorned the most magnificent thoroughfare in northern Indiana. But the transformation is not confined to the region of Gary. New railroads are building through the entire region. Like the fire which follows the invisible chemical tracings on a piece of paper the line of the Chicago, Lake Shore and South Bend interurban approaches from the east, worms Its way through Gary, crosses the Calumet river, burns on through East Chicago to Hammond and Hegewisch, leaving behind its long black trail. Such has been the progress of the building of this splendid interurban line, all within the space of little more than a year. The Gary and Western was also built from Hammond to Gary within this period and was opened to freight traffic, while it is expected to become the route of an outer suburban loop in another year. Over in Indiana Harbor the activity is such that many transformations
are visible. Additions are being made to many manufacturing plants, miles

roads have been built and now appear as great long, white marks when
