OPEN BURNHAM AVENUE.
When West Hammond gets settled down to one form ot government
or another, one of the first things that should be taken up is the matter
of opening up Burnham avenue to traffic. The only independent means of
access to the north that West Hammond has is Burnham avenue. That is
blocked most of the time by switching in the railroad yards which cross
this street and by the fact that the road is almost impassable.
In the absence of track elevation the only way Burnham avenue can be opened is by the construction of a viaduct which will not only cross the Michigan Central yards but the Calumet Terminal tracks as well and will then drop down to the bridge level at the crossing of the Calumet river. The importance of this road has never been appreciated for the reason that it is so little traveled. It is by fax the most direct route to Chicago and saves
two miles of the distance. It is the most direct route to Burnham and Hegewisch. There Is but one railroad crossing at Hegewisch, the Western Indiana tracks, and thence northward to South Chicago, with the exception of the Pennsylvania railroad, there is not another railroad crossing. Cook county has done but little for West Hammond, the largest village within its limits, and the people of that community ought to be able to secure an appropriation sufficient to pay the cost of this improvement. If Burnham avenue were to be opened to the northward It would put West Hammond on the route of the best Chicago-to-Hammond automobile road In this section of the country. It would mean money in the pockets of the merchants there. West Hammond would then be on the automobile map. The Immediate advantage would be that West Hammond would be placed in much closer communication with Burnham and Hegewisch, two important industrial centers.
A BAS PESSIMISM. It is the hardest job in the world to hold out encouragement to the business man and the merchant who see expenses piling up and business at a standstill. It is not a case of the drowning man grasping at straws, for there are not even business straws to clutch at and the business man certainly is not drowning.
He glances over the financial horizon, scans the promises made by corporation and manufacturers, scrutinizes the railway reports to glean there
from all the hope possible for the Improvement of conditions. Newspapers
may tell him to cheer up, optimists may point out this or that hopeful sign,
but when trade is dull these things give small encouragement.
One thing he cannot get away from, however, industry ' cannot be peevish for long. In a magnificent country like this, the law of supply and demand in itself alone will bring about renewed industrial activity shortly.
The crops give wonderful promise. The turn in the road must be mighty
near. At any rate kick your pessimism out of the front door.

FRICTION SHOULD BE OVERLOOKED.
The decision of George Keiser to resign as manager of the Crown Point
baseball team of the Northern Indiana league is received throughout the
country with nothing but regret, and concerted efforts will be made to in
duce the popular manager of that club to reconsider his decision. Through Mr. Keiser's instrumentality the baseball game at Crown Point has reached the highest point of efficiency, and the fans there feel that a serious loss and detriment to the game will be experienced should Manager Keiser throw
down the reins at this time. The little friction among the players arising
over the last game should be overlooked, as It is not of enough consequence to Impair the success which now faces the Crown Point club and affects the
whole of the Northern Indiana league. Strong efforts will be made to In
duce Manager Keiser to retain the managership of the club until the end of
the present season at least.
ANOTHER RECORD FOR GARY.
The Gary postal savings bank has established a notable record for a
i greater amount in deposits for the first month's business than any other
postal depository east of the Mississippi river. This is a remarkable show
ing In that there are now some two hundred banks In operation east of the
Mississippi river and that Gary has eight other banking institutions. "But
Gary has set bo many records since the city was founded, that although they
are a source of gratification to its citizens, they look upon them as nothing
more than out of the ordinary. Gary is addicted to the smashing of rec
ords it doesn't matter what line they are in. , ;
AN ESTEEMED contemporary has a story about the disappearance of the lyre bird. Perhaps it has gone to the Ridge road to drop a few tears over the yarn that the road is 10 per cent rubber, due to the heavy auto
