the trimming of shade trees so as not to obstruct in any way with any kind of traffic and at least a part of it

should be enforced. Many complaints

have been registered to The Times regarding the subject, and an investigation proves that the protests are warranted in nearly every case. Trim your trees. Crown Point was visited last evening,, with an electrical storm of no mean proportions and while no great damage was done, the citizens lost considerable sleep through the cannonading of the thunder. Heavy rains Mowed the wind and lightning, which will prove a great benefit to Lake

county crops and pastures. It is said that East Chicago will send down a special train of rooters and fans tomorrow to attend the Crown Point-East Chicago game here, and In

the event of good weather one of the

largest crowds ever gathering to witness a game will be present. Tomor

row's game is a crucial one to the lo

cal team and means either first or third place in the pennant race for them. Smith, who has always been

able to successfully hold East Chicago down to a few hits, will twirl for the locals, while East Chicago will present

ROBERTSDALE.

Thh Times has reliable information the effect that the plan ie Chicago, Indiana an dSouthern to run a branch

line into Michigan City is still in a dormant stage and will not be taken

up until railroad business knows a ue-

gree of improvement that will warrant

the expenditure of money necessary to buy"the right of way and build tha

necessary track.

It Is a well known fact that it has

always been the Idea of C. W. Hotchkiss, the general manager of the Chicago, Indiana and Southern railroad

that the industrial zone of the Calumet region will extend all of the way to

Michigan City and the plan to bull!

this railroad Is the result. The following from the Michigan City Dispatch is

Interesting:

"Efforts lately made to get options on

land for a right of way into the city

has revived the belief' that the Chi

cago, Indiana & Southern, with whtcn

C. W. Hotchkiss was connected until a few days since, will begin the extension of its line soon, with Michigan City as Its objective point. The road

has been built eastward into Porter county, and it is known that the company has bought land west of the

Hotchkiss farm in Porter 1 county

which, it Is presumed, is to be used for

a railway yard.

"According to reported surveys the

line would come eastward parallel to the south of the Michigan Central. It would strike the Monon at a point just north of the Pere Marquette transfer track connecting with the Monon, where an interlocker Is to be placed.

and then after crossing the Monon it would run northward along that railway through the Haskell & Barker yards there to the Haskell & Barker car factory.

Property Owicnj Approached. "It Is known that property owners

along this route within the city have

been approached for right of way, but

they . supposed that it was the car fac

tory itself that was trying to buy up

more land until they were told the contrary. Then It was supposed that the movement to extend the C., I. & S. was being revived. A survey reaching a point on the Monon north of its intersection with the Pere Marquette was made a year or two ago, and tha report that this was for the C, I. & S. has been revived from time to time, but the late activities in acquiring a right of way was the first to designate the contemplated route Into the city. The eastern extension of the road now practically ends nowhere and by extending the line to this city it would share in car factory and other business here."

From all accounts quite a few dogs will be disposed of. as soon as the muzzling law goes Into effect on the 22nd of this month, as there are numerous people who have dogs around their premises that will not trouble to conform with the order.

DEAR OLD PITTSBURGH IS STILL FUSSING

admits that he wrote the statement and gave it out over Cameron's name. He seems to believe that he carried out a smooth coup, and he holds that Wilson

Is now as good as nominated.

Michael M. Mahoney, another member of the Kern Club, and who, by the way Is president of that organization, was elected by Liller as president , of the Woodrow. Wilson Clut,. Liller said that Mahoney attended the meeting, but the factls that Mahoney was. not In the city that ' night, having left early in

the morning for South Bend where he went on business. He did not return home until the next day. Ho admits, howeyer, that he Is for Wilson, and says be will serve as the president of the club. ' Another "meeting" will be held soon, says Liller, to elect a secretary to serve In place of Cameron. ' Cameron says he has a najority of the members of the Kern club y with him, and that they will go right ahead

with the organization, and that at the proper time they will begin- a campaign for Kern delegates in Indiana, whether Kern wishes .them to do so or not. He says the Wilson club will not cut any" figure as far as he and his followers are concerned. On the other hand Liller and his band declare that they will make a campaign for Wilson delegates In this state. They are proceeding on the vneory that Governor Marshall cannot be regarded as a

candidate for the nomination because he has no chance to win nomination. They insist that Indiana delegates haj

better "get on the band wagon and sup

port a live candidate. Liller also makes another statement which like many other things in nit, Is important if true. He says that the Wilson movement in Indiana will have plenty of financial backing, and that between now and the first -of November $50,000 will.be poured into this state for the purpose of completing the organization of the Wilson boom. When he was asked . where this money was coming from he declined to tell. - Who among the Wilson supporters ttirnnfiniit Vi 0 cnnntrv rrtillt afford to

put $50,000 into the Indiana campaign for Wilson delegates is a mystery. It

THANKSGIVING DAY NOVEMBER 30 President Relieves Suspense

of Football Teams.

Washington, Aug. 12. President

Taft. it was learned yesterday, will

designate Thursday, November 30, as Thanksgiving day this year. It al

ways has been the custom to fix the last Thursday in the month. This year there had been some doubt because November happened to Include five instead of four Thursdays. The' White House has been besieged by theatrical managers and those in charge of college football games to settle this doubt so that definite arrangements could be made for the usual array of special performances and sports that mark that day.

Ah increase of over $31,000,000 in the

exports of iron and steel manufactures and a decreaseof over $4,000,000 in the Imports of this class of merchandise are striking characteristics of the foreign commerce of the United States for the fiscal year just ended. Iron and steel manufactures exported aggre

gated $230,725,351 in value, against

$179,133,186 in 1910 and $183,982,182 in the fortber high record year, 1908. The exports of iron and steel manufactures In the fiscal year 1911 were

$51,592,165 in excess of those of . the Illinois Steel company has been - inpreceding year and $46,743,169 In (ex- creased, says the Calumet Record: " cess of the highest record ever made Mills In operation Eight blast fur-

Pittsburg is still watching with

anxious eyes the advance of Gary as a

steel center and it was with a great effort that the newspapers of the Pennsylvania city printed the American Car and Foundry company site story on last Tuesday. To offset any good Impression its readers may ,have gotten from the story the Pitsburg Dispatch hastens to allay the fear of Gary by printing an editorial, wheh, reading between

the lines, shows the fear that the eastern steel makers have of Gary's future. The editorial reads: The opinion of President, Farrel on Pittsburg's prospects as a steel center is supported not only by the authority of his' position as the head of the United States Steel Corporation, but as he himself suggests by his intim

eyes he points out that this country is great enough to support several large producing centers without impairing the pre-eminence of " Pittsburg. The plants at Chicago. Gary, Duluth and Birmingham are only of relative importance, serving their immediate territory, while Pittsburg remains in undisputed possession of the great and growing market sof the East and Central West and as the geographical and

logical point of supply for ;the markets of the world. On this topic of exports Mr. Farreil

is an authority. It was his signal suc

cess at the head of the export trade of the corporation and the' Increasing im

portance of manufactures in our for eign commerce that indicated his ex

ceptional qualifications foT his present post. When, therefore, he declares that

knowledge of local conditions acquired i Pittsburg is and must continue to be during many years' service as a former the center from which steel exports are

worker in the stel industry in this city Thus doubly qualified to appratse the situation his view is of exceptional weight. Much has been written and spoken, he says, by those who seek to depreciate . the future of Pittsburg as a steel

producing center, but he makes' it emphatically clear that he IS as firmly

onvinced as ever that Pittsburg is

estined to remain the steel center ot

the world. He disposes of the preten-

ions of Gary to rival Pittsburg In a

crisp sentence. "The Increase in the

apacity of the Carnegie Steel Company

alone is equal to the capacity of the

great works at Gary." Pittsburg, he

declares, can afford to be indifferent to

the jealousy of other places because secure in its predominant position. Then taking a broad view that seems to have been impossible to parochial

ly considered. Our exportation of steel

products is certain to increase by leaps

and bounds. What has already been acomplished in a few years proves that. And in that great gain Pittsburg

mills are to be the chief beneficiary. President Farreil supports his pre dictions of Pittsburg's future with sub stantlal evidence of his faith. Pro

posals. he says, are under consideration which when carried out will add st.I further to the efficiency of Pittsburg's plants. Increase their capacity, diversify

their output and improve the social and economic conditions of those engaged 1 the Industry. Pittsburg, like the export trade of the steel corporation, ha just begun to grow. It would be absurd

to attempt to put limitations on th one or the other.

Diminished agricultural prospects,

further sharps liquidation, in securities

disturbing impressions, but current activity makes a favorable comparison

with this time last -year, and wider

the volume of payments through the banks exhibit comparative gains.

Activity in Steel Mills. Another blast furnace and additional

coke ovens started up at Gary, and.

with heavier outputs at furnaces and rolling mills, there are more hands

employed in the Calumet district. New

demands include none of specially large tonnage, but are steady In steel, and firmer quotations reflect improving position in pig Iron. . Numerous moderate contracts were1 closed for structural shapes and wire, Railroad managers now scan the outlook closely, and negotiations Indicate more satisfactory business soon in rails, cars, motive power and other equipment. The Improved conditions In metal production encourage other manufacturers, although there Is only moderate accumulation In some branches, and outputs disclose only a slight

recovery in machinery, .hardware, brass, I

forge and foundry work. Implement and electric factories run steadily. Planing mills obtain good orders from outside points for future deliveries, and there is fair activity in furniture and other woodworking. The leather working trades have adequate forward demand and the markets for hides and leather are more favorable for heavy consumers. Largs numbers of visiting buyers stimulated the wholesale markets, and bookings compare favorably with this time last year In dry goods, furs, millinery, cloaks and suits, holiday novelties,-footwear, clothing, house furnishings and groceries.
