THE VALUE OF GOODS ROADS.

' Highlands has vindicated itself. Word has been received from the

progressive farmers there that they do not oppose the opening of an eighty-

foot country boulevard on the Ridge road.

ABE Martin yelU this all the way

from Indianapolis: "How d you like

lands that they are not willing to let a few "old fogies" commit them to a t' be seventeen again with roses an'

senseless opposition to good wide roads. This opposition is absurd and Is moonlight an' your best girl singin'

central market and the ease with which its products may be marketed.

Good roads shorten the distance to the market and make the cost of

marketing the products of the farm considerably less. It is true that they

are burnt up by scorching automobilists, but that Is due to the fact that the country commissioners would rather "shy" at a certain antequated state

law than build roads of asphalt macadam that would last. The property

owners along the Ridge road are situated in a perculiarly advantageous loca

tion. The road occupies the heights and already many a "city broken"

worker is looking longingly southward for residential property.

If the Ridge road ever becomes the fashionable residential district of

the Calumet region it will be because of the automobile. No one would think of living on the Ridge road now unless he owned an automobile. The building of a car line would open the Ridge road to settlement, but that

seems highly Improbable In the near future. Now it is reasonable to ex

pect that if the Ridge road is widened to eighty feet that the beauty of this

country boulevard will be so apparent to those who see it that they will

at once desire to evade the smoke of the city and live there

As soon as any considerable number of them do this It will add greatly

to the value of the property here. The farmers near Highland will benefit

and they will forget their senseless opposition to an eighty-foot road when

they see the great improvements that come, with a growing suburban popu

lation. It is the old-fashioned farmer who cays. "Goll din them autos."

began his musical education at the age of 11, first studying under the famous instructor Dudley Buck.

From 1868 to 1871 he was organist of Bethany Church In Montpelier, VL, which position he resigned to go

abroad for three years to study in Germany. Upon his return to the United

States he became organist of the First Congregational church In Chicago. Subsequently he filled a similar positions with leading churches In Pittsburg and Brooklyn. Mr. Eddy has given organ recitals In the principal cities of America and Europe and has directed concerts In connection with the international expositions held In Vienna, Paris, Philadelphia, Chicago, Buffalo and St. Louis.

EVELYN ARTHUR S. WHO CLAIMS TO BE "THE LIVING GOD," ON TRIAL AT CHICAGO 1 -YEAR-OLD GIRL DEFENDS HIS CULT

NEW COMMERCIAL ARTERIES.

The spring of this year saw the opening of the Aetna extension of Gary's second thoroughfare, Fifth avenue, and another mile and a half haa been added to its length on the west. Now comes the news that this street, which,

with Broadway, is destined to be the city's main commercial artery is to be

extended westerly another miles or two to Clark road.

Already this east and west highway is tangent to the American Bridge company, the American Sheet & Tin Plate company, the Kirk railway yards, the Indiana steel mills and the coke ovens. Nightly a vaBt army of workers use this street to bring them in connection with the other other thoroughfares

of the city, and within a few years time Fifth avenue's crowd of workers

will exceed even the throngs on Broadway.

Very shortly Fifth avenue will be connected with Indiana Harbor which

will mean a direct auto path to Chicago. The distributing highway of all of

Gary's big Industrial plants and its main connecting link with nearby com

munities Fifth avenue is marked to be a great thoroughfare.

WILL HAVE BENEFICIAL EFFECT.

Whatever may be the outcome of the disgraceful tactics employed in Gary at the last election, centered now in the trial at Valparaiso, much good will come of it. Selections in Gary, as the result of the indictments, and

elections anywhere else in the county, will be conducted henceforth as they

should be and every American citizen will get a chance to vote as his con

science dictates. He will not be terrorized by savage nondescripts of the

Yokonovich-Boasich type.

A number of democratic papers in this state say that the Valparaiso prosecutions are the result of political spite. Had they been in Gary and

seen what was to have been seen on election day last November, they would

not make such false charges. It Is time to call a halt on such lust for au

thority and blood as was evidenced by these foreigners now on trial.
