CO j : (Special to The Times. i Indiana Harbor, June IS. The last j of the six large double track modern , bnscule railway bridges, which span the canal near its lake entrance at Indiana Harbor, was completed yesterday. All are now ready for operation and as the work of dredging beneaath them is being prosecuted with nil !;ieed, it wil be only a question of a very short while before they will be raised for the admission of boats desirous of entering the canal. The bridges are so constructed, and the channel of such a depth that it will be possible for the largest lake-go- J ing craft to navigate the canal and ' with the dredging underneath the bridges completed, boatB will be enabled to go as far Inland as the turn'ing basin, which is located over a mile from the mouth of the harbor and immediately back of the American Steel Foundry company's plant.

The bridges are the property of the Chicago, Lake Shore & Eastern, the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, the Baltimore & Ohio ond the Pennsylvania railroads. The Lake Shore road owns three of the structures, and the other roads, one each. Mr. Charles E. Fowler, president of the Indiana Trust and Savings bank in this city, who is one of the pioneer real estate and loan men in the Harbor, in discussing the canal and its pof sibillties, said yesterday: "Every time I cross the bridges and looking out of the window, observe the

It is bound to bring many new factories to this locality, which in Chicago find it impossible to secure dockage along the Chicago and the Calumet river. This canal in a very few years will be as solidly built up as are those two streams. There will not be a foot of dockage available along the line of the canal. Our present population of 17,000 will be doubled and our present unquestioned prosperity, trebled."

RUNAWAY AT E. GHGQ CAUSE EXCITEMENT John Kamradt's Horse Takes a Dangerous Run. (Special to The Times). Indiana Habor, June IS. Yesterday afternoon while Manager John Karnradt of the Northern Indiana Gas Co. was Inspecting some work in Leo Orzechowskl's erocerv store at 138th and ! Cedar street, his horse, which he had left standing hitched with a weight, ran away. The horse became frightened when two Immense dogs jumped at him, and started down Cedar street on the run, dragging the weight after him. As his speed increased the weight was Jerked from the ground and went flying in every direction. John heard the uproar, and rushing out of the store was soon in hot pursuit. The runaway had a pretty good start, but that didn't discourage John in the least. He was fast gaining on the horse, when the latter was stopped by two coal wagons which were crossing Cedar street in opposite directions on 136th street, and thus completely blocking the way. The horse was uninjured, except for a few scratches about the legs where the weight had hit him. John bus been congratulating himself ever since on the fortunate ending of what might have been a very serious affair, in case the swinging weight had struck someone as the frightened horse flew by.

IGROWN POINT

GOT THE CROWD Captain J. C. Downing of the Monon said today that Crown Point, instead of Lowell," got practically all of the advertising and that the crowds on his line were not as large as was expected. It seems that practically all of 1 the out-of-town visitors went to Crown Point to see the races. The inaccessible stands over on the west course were not nearly filled and only those in the immediate vicinity of Crown Point are getting the crowds. A report from . one of the Chicago papers is to the effect that the crowd Is a tremendous one, and the race tomorrow is expected to break all records for attendance to an event of the kind. SCHOOL HOLDS PRETTY EXERCISES The fifth annual commencement exercises of the eighth grade graduates of the North township schools occurred last evening at S o'clock In the Highlands school. The auditorium of the building was crowded with friends and relatives of the graduates and many citizens interested in the school work of the township. Many of those who desired to hear the program were refused admittance before 8 o'clock on account of the large attendance. The hall was very nicely decorated with the class colors, purple and gold, and in the decorations the class flower, the iris, was conspicuous. The exorcises closed one of the most successful years of the school, and in the class were eight girls and boys who will take up the higher branches next year. Much credit is due Trustee J. C. Becker and his corps of teachers, Frank Love, Annan Emery, Eliza beth Brumm, Iaura Newcomb, Abble Hathaway, Martha Schaaf, Minnie chultz, Bessie Nacf and Edith Carter, for the success of the year's work. The pupils were representatives of the Highlands and llessville districts and numbered eight girls and boys They were awarded diplomas for the work in the grades by Frank B. Heigh way, county superintendent, who gave a few able remarks to the class dur ing the presentation. The feature of the evening's program was the address by tho Hon. Joseph G. Ibach of Ham mond. He was introduced by Mr. Beck er, who gave a very short and appro pnate address. Mr. Ibftch's address was enjoyed by every one present, and he gave many valuable truths to the young graduates. Mr. Ibach chose a very broad subject, that of 'Education," and took the child from his home education through his school life, showing the good influences of a general education. The class motto: "We are in the bay; the ocean lies beyond," was characteristic of the class and was. the attitude of many present last evening who desire to see the young people enroll in high school and prepare for the greater things in life. After the following program, the friends and relatives spent an hour congratulating the class members: The Program. March Miss Martha Schaaf Invocation Rev. J. M.
