REED OF HAMMOND LOWEST CHURCH BIDDER

(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, June 30. Bids for th? new Methodist church that ia to be erected at the Circle. Baring and Chicago avenues, were opened in the offices fthe charman of the building committee. A. Q. Slocomb. f J. VS. Reed, of Hammond, was the lowest bidder, his estimate for the Job

being $23,000. The other bidders and their figures were as follows: August Johnson, $24,760. Moore & Sons, of Danville, 111., $25,000. Stoeffel & eiland, of Hammond, $29,750. The contract was not let last night, the bids being taken under advisement until next Friday, during which time the committee will consult with the church members as to the advisability of puting up the church in accordance with the plans as they now stand, or whether to change the plans so as to reduce the cost to an even $20,000. This was the sum orfginally agreed on as the cost of construction, but some changes have been made in the

plans since, which the building committee had hoped could be crowded in with the $20,000 limit. The changes include the addition of a room 18x30 feet in dimensions for the seating of the infant department, a number of fire places not originally provided for and the substitution of oak instead of pine, for the interior finish. The questions that will be considered are whether to cut off these "extras" or whether to let them sand and stand the raise in cost. If the former course

is adopted contractors will be invited to figure again, all of the present bids being discarded. The committee to whom is entrusted the responsibility of looking after the building of the church includes the following: A. O. Slocomb. chairman; II H. Clark, secretary; F. L. Evans, D. D. Dixon, W. E. Roe, A. E. Peters. G. A. Jones. E. W. Wirkey, Dr. A. A Ross and Rev. J. B. McXary.

BUILDING OPERATIONS REVIVAL

(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., June 30. An Indication of renewed activity in business is the revival of operations at the Calumet Car Company's plant at Calumet. It Is understood that work will

be resumed at this place in the near

future, a number of Chicago capitalists having become interests in the

concern, and put up considerable

money to set it on its feet again.

Th plant has been in the control of

McCalla an dson of Chicago for some

time an dthese gentlemen have sue

ceeded in interesting George Lytton

and other Chicago capitalists in the un

dertaklng. It is understood that all of

the indebtedness of the original firm

have been cleaned up and that there are sufficient orders ahead to warrant the expectation of opening up the plant

in the near future and keeping It in

continuous operation for some time.

At present I. Joseph & Co. of Cincin

nati are using the premises , for their

car-wrecking operations which have

been in progress for the past several

months.

The cosmopolitan character of the Pacific coast labor is being increased

by an influx of Hindoos.

The plan worked like a charm. His telephone orders increased rapidly and his sales broke records. He put in a private exchange to care for his telephone orders. The enterprising merchant finds the Bell Local and Long Distance Telephone Service a great help to business.

(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, June 30. There is a great deal of building going on in the Twin Cities, and it is estimated that the season's building is by no means a'l under way. The slight depression that caused business to go a bit slow for the past few months, has caused somfew who had anticipated building, to postpone their operations, and some of these with the revival of activities which the mills have experienced, are considering going on with their plans. There are a number of large buildings now under way whose progress is of Interest to the public. Especially so is that of the Cohen building at Chicago and Forsyth avenues. The masons are now at work laying brick on the third story and it is possible already to get a very good idea of what the structure will look like when completed.

Sam Cohen, the owner of the building

s expected to move his buffet into its

new quarters next the corner, within five or sixe weeks, but it is expected that it will b about three months be

fore the entire building is completed

and the bank fixtures in the corner In

stalled. Were it not for the building of the vault the building: could be

finished sooner, but these ponderous

receptacles cannot be rushed In their construction.

The ton floor of the building has been

eased to the enterprising and ambitf-

ous East Chicago club which has out grown its quarters In its present location and Is desirous of something better.

The club rooms will embrace dining

room, kitchen, billiard room, lounging

rooms etc. and the entire floor space

will be 50 by 80 feet. The second floor will be arranged In such form as to ha
