i EDITORIAL IPRESSION OF I GARY FROM RENSSELAER
CLASSIFIED WANT ADS.
Says the Jasper County Democrat: "The writer paid his first visit to the new steel city of Gary Saturday, and when one reflects that only three or four years ago the site of this splendid new city was only a barren tract of waste land and about the most Godforsaken one ever gaved upon, the transformation has been most wonderful indeed. Its principal business street, Broadway, is probably the finest street in the world, certainly much finer than anything In this country. It Is 100 eet. wide with cement walks 16 or 20 feet wide, is the most brilliantly lighted street anywhere and the east side especially, is flanked with handsome and substantial business houses. Broadway, we were told, is to be ten miles in length and will be uniform as to paving, walks, lights, etc., its whole length. "Fortunes have been made in real estate there, and business lots on upper Broadway which sold at the beginning at $100 per front foot are now worth
$1,000 per front foot, and we honestly believe that in less than five years time these lots will be worth $5,000 per front foot. Two lots on Broadway south of the Wabash tracks, which
Mayor Knotts paid $800 each for about
three years ago, he sold recently for $30,000. Mayor Knotts owns many pieces of property there and will soon be in the millionaire class. "Gary certainly is going to become a grea city, and while it now takes more money to swing a real estate deal
Ithan It did one, two or three years ago.
there are still fortunes to be made there in our opinion. New industries are coming in all the time and its growth in the next five years promises to surpass that of any city in the history of the world. "Another thing, when you read about so much lawlessness and crime in Gary, take it with a grain of salt.
These stories are largely drawn from
the imagination of the space-writer.
There are many foreigners there of
course, and many of these are are of
the undesirable class, but there are hundreds of as nice people there as you
will find anywhere.
"If you have never visited the "Magic City" It will pay you to take a day off
sometime and see for yourself. An
electric car line runs from Hammond
over (one block south of Monon depot)
and the fare for the entire distance of
eleven miles is but ten cents."

Indiana Harbor, Ind., Aug. 24.
There was an accident yesterday on
the Indiana Harbor Belt line when a train that was being switched onto
the curve, where the lines comes oft the
Lake Shore onto the C, I. & S., went off the derail, throwing the tender off
the track and twisting the gondola coke car which followed the engine into a shape more closely resembling a cork screw than - a car. The tender plowed the ground for six or eight feet from where it left the track, its course being finally stopped, when the wheels
were sunk two feet into the ground.
The heavyweight of the large number of cars back . of the lighter gondola
was. what "caused" the twlstihg 'of the
latter.
The train was in charge of a conduc
tor named Gant, and the engineer was
E. V. Kelly. R. F. Dorenton was, the
fireman and the engine was No. 3,612
New York Central. The accident hap
pened at 1:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon.
Responsibility for the accident has
not yet been placed. The engineer
claims that he was given the first target "to go on. He was not so sure of the second target, however, given
by the man who throws the levers for the Pennsylvania, but which, he says, he invariably got if he got the
through some error
somewhere the accident occurred and resulted in the serious damage to the
engine and one car.

It was these trees that sheltered Gary's first citizens. In the early days of 1906 Mayor Tom Knotts to kill time used to . sleep most of the afternoon under them or whittle away a stick and discuss politics with Col. George Baker. It was also under the trees that John Sears used to hold religious services and for a year until the summer of 1907 they sheltered the shacks which housed most of Gary's early business houses.
