Crown Point Mews

Happenings of a Day in Lake County's Lively Capital

j WHITING AND ENVIRONS

May Have Been Set Afire. Queer and unusual circumstances connected with the fire at the Ramon house, south of the Crown Brewery company's plant, on last Saturday evening, has given rise to the theory that the blaze was of Incendiary origin and that there are strong clews and circumstances evident to carry out the suspicions of many that the blaze was caused by human agencies. Strong traces of kerosene oil, poured on the first and second floors of the house. Inside and out between the plaster and siding. Is evidence convincing that the flames were of incendiary origin. Outside of the fact that there are many other peculiar features connected with the fire and bears out the story first printed In The Times that Incendiarism played a strong part In the attempt to fire the building. The authorities and Insurance adjusters are at work on the case and although there Is no direct evidence to fixe the crime upon any

particular person, It Is said that strong suspicions center upon certain parties

In Crown Point, the fflentlty of whom those working on the case will not divulge at this time. If the investigation Is continued and as many important features unearthed In the next few days as have been In the past, the case promises to bring to light many sensational facts of interest to the community.

Awaiting News. Crown Point people are anxiously awaiting news from lnterurban quarters, but little has leaked out during the last few days to give satisfaction to those who desire to see "street cars

running In Crown Point. To be so near and yet so far from having lnterurban connection with Gary and the north part of the county Is exasperating to

those who have worked hard for the line, and unless swiff and convincing action la taken In the matter toward a solution of the vexatious question those vitally Interested are liable to find themselves at the end of their rope when It comes to a question of granting further favors or franchises. The matter has been before the public over two years now and It Is high time that a stand up or lay down attitude was assumed. There isn't enough fight In the proceedings to convince one of anxiety to operate an lnterurban line.

Several members of the local K. of P. lodge Journeyed to La Crosse iast evening to Institute a K. of P. lodge at that place. Among those making the trip and taking part In the work from Crown Point were: Joseph B. Toung, H. Nassau, Harry Nicholson, Tom Piatt, John Murphy and Aug. Bremer.

An Investment worth while. The investor with sufficient judgment to see the great possibilities of Investing in Oil Propositions in California, will be literally swept to fortune on this great flood of oil which flows through the proven fields of California. t The courage of the pioneer oil men of California has made them millionaires. They were not two or five per cent men, and if you desire to become wealthy, you must be a thousand per cent man, and you must dare to use your own judgment, and must dare to invest your money where it will bring you results of a thousand per cent or more on every dollar invested. While it is true, there is some small advantage in having your money where it can be easily drawn if needed, how can you afford'to pay for this small advantage by the difference in the per cent that you will receive? . . During the year 1909, the oil fields of California produced approximately fifty-eight million barrels of oil, being an increase over the previous year, of about ten million barrels. An investment today with the CALIFORNIA-NATIONAL CRUDE OIL COMPANY, while stock is selling at 50 cents per share, will start you. on the right road to prosperity. Do not wait until the opportunity has passed your door. One goo J investment is worth a life-time of labor.
