PROSPERITY GALORE FOR GARY. The fact that the American Steel & Wire company, another subsidiary concern of the United States Steel corporation, is about to let the contract for filling in the lake adjacent to their plant site, indicates that another concern Is preparing to start work In this city. With the interest almost wholly directed to the Indiana Steel company's
operations and the building of the coke ovens, the American Bridge company, the American Sheet & Tin Plate works and the American Locomotive company, the fact that the steel and wire works were coming to this city was almost lost sight by Gary business men. The filling in of the lake, which contract was let today, is equivalent to the letting of the contract for the grading for a great part of the plant Is to be erected on made land which is now covered by the waters of Lake Michigan. This would indicate to a certainty that they are preparing to build their plant ln this city during the comng year, which will add greatly to the prosperity of the city. It is expected that they will employ about ? 2,000 skilled laborers. y APRIL FOOL'S DAY. On the near approach of April Fool's Day, the Rochester Democrat says: "The vllllage cut-up is one of the most familiar "rube" types of the comic paper, and an important part of its stock in trade. It is a little surprising, therefore, to learn that this uncouth jester has near relatives in the great city, even in New York, where humor is supposed to reach its highest stage of refinement The April fool joker has become such a nuisance there that the authorities of the Aquarium have already made arrangements for dealing with him when the first day of April arrives. In past years many calls have been received on that day from men who have been told that a message has been received requesting them to call 3732, Rector, and ask for Mr. Fish. The joke has been over-worked to such an extent that the telephone at the Aquarium will be disconnected all day. The practical Joker will have to find a new outlet for his humor."
WOULD SETTLE VEXED QUESTION. East Chicago sits itself down In 6erfous council session and annexes Hammond and Whiting. That is the Indiana way. There is some kind of law on the statute books of that state allowing one city to go forth tftealthlly at night and appropriate another city if it happens to be in the same township., Hammond and Whiting are so mad about it that they can't see straight and every legal resource is to be exhausted before they will consnt to the abduction. If Illinois had a law of that sort probably Morgan Park would annex Chicago and thus settle a vexed question Chicago Daily News,

There is sadness In the Arctic, there is wailing by the poleail the
natives have the heartache, they are badly in the hole; you mayvee the marks of anguish furrowed deep on every brow, as they wait an1 watch and languish, for they have no gumdrops now. There they wait watch and rubber for explorers, as of yore; they are, oh, so tired of blubjr, walrus steaks now seem a bore; there they stand and weep and shlverf icking up a frightful row; tired of seal and norwhal liver who will gi them gumdrops now? Now the pole is found and branded, no one se that frozen shore; when a pole has once been landed, who would seelit any more? Nevermore will Cook or Peary, through the neck-deep snoi drifts plough, and the Eskimos are weary; they are short on gumdrops novi What a shame It was to show 'em how to eat those candy drops! fe they learned to love and know 'em, they were glad to fill their crops fth the good old-fashioned blubber, and the ribs of reindeer cow; by the pe they roam and rubber, for they have no gumdrope now. .

Editor Times: Your article ln the last evening's issues of The Times, you favoring the consolidating the cities and towns In the Calumet river district for the same reason that the Hammond Packing company left ita costly plant, your point is well taken. But I think there are much better reasons for the cities and towns to consolidate and amalgamate their interests. For that reason I have suggested that evening meetings be had where the great good of this move can be pointed out to the people so they understand It better. Again your article in last night's Issue, "Come, let us reason together," is certainly a timely suggestion. There Is great virtue in reasoning. Your suggestion of reasoning together carried out, and the citizens understanding bet
