When the plans for the development of the New York Central lines in
the Calumet region are matured the fact will begin to be appreciated that
this splendid system of railroads is the greatest asset northern Lake county
has outside of the Indiana Steel company.
So many big things have been done by the captains of industry who have focused their attention on this locality and so stupendous are projects
that will be carried out in the immediate future, that it is Impossible to estimate the development that will be brought about as a result. Beginning with the first of July the Chicago, Indiana & Southern railroad will run into Evansvllle. This in itself does not seem to be of such great importance until the fact becomes known that a traffic agreement has been made with the Louisville & Nashville, one of the wealthiest railroads of the south, by
which the freight trains, and eventually the passenger trains, of the C I. & S. will run through to Pensacola, Fla., the finest harbor on the gulf.
The strategic importance of this move may be appreciated when the fact is known that this is the shortest route from the lakes to the gulf and that the opening of the Panama canal will divert an enormous amount of traffic to the southern ports. Indiana Harbor is the actual terminus of the
C, L & 8. railroad, although it runs Into Chicago over the Lake Shore lines
Gibson has already been selected as the freight terminal and the location for the shops. "While this is probably the most ambitious project the road has for its future development, others are equally important. Plans are
temporarily being held in abeyance which provide for the construction of
docks and s'ips along the Indiana Harbor canal for the interchange of freight from lake steams to railroad cars and vice versa. A freight transfer warehouse, the largest in the west, is to be built east of Gibson. Only recently the announcement was made of the purchase of a one-halt interest in the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad by the Chicago & Northwestern and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroads. Thla will enable these western roads to tap the great freight producing districts of the Calumet region. The Indiana Harbor Belt railroad is now regarded as one of the best railroad properties In the Chicago district, is one of the few roads which is making money. There is hardly an industry of importance in northern Lake county and western Cook county that Is not served by the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad. It is not an exaggeration to Btate that more industries have been located in Hammond and the contiguous territory on account of the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad than by any other influence. While some of the other roads have been playing the part of the piker the Indiana Harbor has pursued a broad liberal policy in its effort to develop the region. In one Instance the "belt" spent more money in putting in switches for the purpose of accommodating a small manufacturer than that manufacturer's plant is worth. But this manufacturer will probably be originating freight for the railroad for the next twenty years. In spite of all that has been done for the region, the local officials are Impatient for progress. They are hoping for some big appropriations this . year and if they get them the cities of Hammond, East Chicago and Indiana Harbor will prosper as never before. And the strangest thing about the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad is the fact that it was evolved from nothing. A piece of main track here and a switch there was picked up until finally the road was discovered to be one of the best paying propositions in the region. July first, when the first train runs through from Indiana Harbor to Evansvllle, will be a great day In local New York Central circles. It will anticipate the time not so very distant when "The Indiana Harbor & Pensacola railroad" will bo a fact

recognition, the promoters will do their level best to make it equal in quality
to the big amusement parks of Chicago.
Thousands upon thousands of dollars are drained from this region every
ummer by people who visit the parks of Chicago. That money, if divided
into local channels, would pay the wages of a host of workers, tradesmen, bankers and all manners of men would derive benefits therefrom, The
money would stay at home. The people of the cities of East Chicago, In
diana Harbor, Hammond, Whiting and Gary would meet each other on
common stamping ground. They would get better acquainted and the trip

this amusement resort are paying wages to various people in the above named cities and they deserve the dimes and nickels of Lake county people,
It Is not simply a matter of dollars, it is a matter of local pride and
for that reason this paper does something it has never done before, recom mend In its editorial columns the patronage of this open air pleasure park.

Another five years Calumet avenue be

this looks good why not make the im

good brick pavement, the whole length
of the street thereby give Hammond
one more north and south connecting link. Also to modernize this further

using the street which in case of put
