REPORT MADE Otl HARBOR It
FftVDRABLE TO THIS DISTRICT
HAMMOND HEWS
Washington, IX C, Aug. 29. Chicago is in a position to create the greatest fresh water harbor in the world at a total expenditure of less than $3,000,000, according to a preliminary report made , to the engineers' corps of the war department by MaJ. Rees, who recently was transferred from that city to the war college here. The work of surveying the municipality's harbor possibilities was Interrupted by the withdrawal of Maj. Rees, and the character of the preliminary report which was disclosed today indicates the extent of ' the damage to
the harbor plans inflicted by the war
department's order.
MaJ. Rees was engaged in investigat
ing: details of the probable cost of a
combined river and lake harbor, with
a view of presenting to tne next session of congress a complete report on the subject. Now that he has been transferred and the Chicago " harbor district annexed to Milwaukee, it is uncertain when the survey which was ordered by the last congress will be completed. The prospect is that it will not be in time for the appropriation of federal funds by the present congress to aid in the harbor development. Projects Planned In Report, The preliminary report describes the
physical conditions and construction
cost attaching to the following pro Jects:
Creation of lake front harbors at various points between Evanston and
the Indiana state line.
Establishment of commercial harbor on lake front immediately north of the
mouth of the Chicago rtver. - 1 Utilisation af the Chicago river, in
eluding the north and south branches,
for harbor' purposes in connection with-
a great turning basin.
Utilisation of the Calumet river for
harbor purposes on a similar plan. " Utilization of Lake Calumet. The detailed report will present com
paratlve figures on the cost of these various plans, but It is roughly estimated in the preliminary report that the
dredging along the lake shore, the wtd
enlng and deepening of the river, and the construction of the turning basins can be carried out for less than $3.-
ooo.ooo.
Money for these purposes. It is ex
pected will be appropriated by congress so that only the expense Qf the costrue-
tlon of .the harbor works will devolve upon the cltyt the sanitary district, or
private parties eventually delegated. to
undertake the enterprise.. It Is esti
mated that the harbor works will cost
I not more than $3,000,000.

The Eagles' picnic held yesterday at
tndel's grove was declared a succe by both the lodge members and the visitors. To show their appreciation the latter patronized the attractions to the extent of $400 clear profit to the order. The old but always enjoyable diversions, such as the paddle wheel, "nigger babies," joke shows and confetti, were present in abundance. The dancing, boating contests and shows drew those who yearned for more conservative pastimes. The feature which caused more real amusement than any or all others was a novelty called the "African Dip," A dummy with blackened face was tied In a trapeze suspended . above a tank of water. By parting from a five-cent piece a person was entitled to the use of three baseballs, which if correctly aimed and thrown would hit a trigger, pitching the "African" from his aerial seat into the waters below. The picnic has become an annual attraction and will be repeated-again next summer.

At Harrison Park a white bull dog came up to Allen and as the printer Is a lover of dogs he stooped to pet the animal. Thus encouraged the dog persisted in following Allen. At the Monon crossing upon Conkey avenue three men stepped out from a watch ehantj- and surrounded Allen. "Without speaking one of them made a rush upon the lone pedestrian holding
