(Special to Trife 'Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Sept. 1. The
Inland Steel company Is now the proud possessor of- two of the finest ore
boats on the lakes. A deal whereby the two monster steamships, the Hogwood and Weidner, passed into the hands of
the Indiana Harbor concern, was closed last week, approximately $800,000 beingpaid for the craft. The boats were purchased from the Hogwood Transportation company of Cleveland. While it has been rumored for some time that the Inland company proposed purchasing a floet, the officials-would not confirm the report, anrj- it is declared that the present deal came up suddenly and was closed with scarcely any parley on either ide. The boats are 10.000 tons burden, of strongest construction and elegant finish. One of them, the Weidner, has been laid up all summer, but the Hogwood is in commission this seasois. being at present loaded with coal. Both boats are in Milwaukee now. It Is not known whether they will be operated by the Inland Pteel company until spring, or before. ' Of the two boats, the Hogwood Js a trifle the larger, being 576 feet loner, 56 foot beam and containing 34 hatches. The Weidner is 564 long. 56-foot beam and has 32 hatches. With two such steamships at their command. the Inland will be able to haul practically all of its ore. This year's receipts of ore will approximate a half million tons when the navigation season closes, but as the new blast furnace will be in operation by the first of the year it is estimated that between 700.000 and 750,000 tons will be required next year to see the mill through. The purchase of the ore boats represents only one item in the tremendous progress that is being made by this enterprising company.
At the meeting of the North Side Improvement Association of Hammond recently the campaign for direct connection between Hammond and Indiana Harbor on the South Shore Line was reopenoJ The association summed up what data it had and advanced the argument that the population of Hammond would bs materially increased if direct interurban connection between the two communities were established. In support
'of this argument which will be laid be- ' f ore the traffic manager of the South , Shore line, the officials of the associa'tlor) show letters from the heads of various industries east- of Hammond, asking that the association do something to afford better transportation, and thus encourage the employes of the plants to locate in Hammond.
Another project which the associa
tion tackled In earnest was the propos
ed opening of Calumet avenue withou'
further delay. A committee was ap
pointed to work up all necessary data
on this question, to learn where the opposition lies and to confer with the
board of public works. The meeting was held In Wojclnskt's hall, and was
fairly well attended.

(Social to The Time.) Indiana Harbor, Sept. 1. The via
duct which has been in proceaa of con-
strjuctioii for some months at the In
land Steel company's plant, over the C, I. & S. tracks, has been completed and
will be but In ue today. The structure, which Is several hundred feet In
length la built entirely of iron and Is a! great Improvement to the mill property. I It will entirely do away with the dang
er to the men who have heretofore been obliged to cross the tracks at grade.
A peculiar feature is that there has nev
er been an accident from this source, but the mill preferred to "lock the barn before the horse was stolen," unlike most "soulless corporations."
The check office will occupy a build
ing at the foot of the viaduct, -which is at Block avenue. The building will
contain the time clocks, sufficient to
accommodate 6,500 men. Entrance will
be on the east side and the exsit will be on the west side. The office will be fitted up in the most modern way.
un trie south side there will be a room from which the paymaster will
pay off the men. He will do this from a window facing the outside, the men passing in ine before this window and receiving their checks from the Inside. The building will be built if Iron made in the mill, the Iron being designed in ornate fashion. Black earth will
be olaced about the structure anil I
lawns and gardens planted.

Bfftajp Mellp to Tnmrnsfl pOR some miles back, the automobile engine haj been behaving badly finally it came to a full stop. Examination failed to locate the cause of the trouble. Through the darkness, the light in a distant farmhouse could be seen. Was there a telephone there? A tramp to the farmhouse; a call to the nearest garage over the Bell Long Distance Line; a few hours' delay, and the automobile tourist was able to proceed on his way. There are few highways and byways over which the automobilist travels, where he is beyond the range of the Universal Bell Telephone System.
