(Special to Thb Times.)
Indiana Harbor, lnd., Sept. 2.
There seems to be but little doubt that
Indiana Harbor is destined to become within the naxt year the greatest harbor in Indiana, as the Standard Oil
company is negotiating ror the purchase of a site on the canal from which
to do its shipping.
This deal has been In process of
negotiation' for a year or more, oft and
on, the land desired by the Oil company
being a part of the property owned by
th McCormick estate. Its exact loca
tion is ln the angle between the main
canal and the south branch,. The- fact
that the deal is likely to be Anaum
mated very shortly was made public at
last night's meeting ln Hammond at
the Hammond Business Men's associa
tion, held for the purpose of discussing
the making navigable of the Calumet
river by the government, the authority
for the statement being none other
than Beaumont Parks, superintendent if the Standard OH company and Mayor
of Whiting.
The Importance of having the Stand
ara Oil company locate their ware
houses along the canal, may be appre
ciated when It is asserted that the ship
ping of this one .. company alone
amounts to more than the total ship
ments . from Michigan City. Gary and
Indiana Harbor combineo. It is ' the
purpose of the company to pipe their
product to Whiting to the canal, if the
Standard Oil company carries out Its
present plans.
The importance of the canal to heavy
shippers may bo estimated by the sav
ing effected each year by the Standard
Oil by this process. TT.ts amounts an
nually to $200,000 and the saving wn reach $250,000 by the larger shipments that will be made when the warehouses
are located on the canal. .
The reason that the OH company de
sires to make this change Is that Whit
ing not a'port of entry and there is no
good place there to land. The company realized the Immense advantages of the canal and a year or more ago began negotiations for a choice parcel . of acreage with two favmgs on the canal, in the McCormick estate. However they did not wish to purchase the land until they had positive assurance that the canal would be maintained forever at a navigable depth. So long as the
deeds transferring the canal to the government were not of record, there was
no absolute proof that this could be depended upon. While the deal ha3
not yet been closed, there seems every prospect that it will be at an early
date, now that the last obstacle has
been removed.
At present all lit the shipping done
by the Standard Oil company Is credited to South Chicago as all vessels clear
from there, and the transfer of thi3
vat amount of traffic to Insdiana Har
bor will have a great bearing on the importance of Indiana Harbor as a port of entry. It will be necessary, if the warehouses are established, for a government revenue officer to be located
in Indiana Harbor, and the Harbor will take on the importance is deserves.
ween to which Lake County sent a delegation was the most important ever held in the country. A remarkable range and variety of subjects were taken up and are of such importance that The Times in a series of articles from day to day will endeavor to show the work of the Congress. Conservation is a term at first dealing with the saving of the resources of the country has broadened and branched out until It treats now of a wide scope of subjects from the soil to morals. Among the most important topics taken up at
the congress where the conservation of ened
soil fertility. In New Kngland ana various other parts of the country there are hundreds of abandoned farms which are useless
and valueless because the soil had become sterile and' unproductive. The
rich fields of the Middle West show no signs of being overworked, but their
erm of service has been comparatively
short.
The country has practically come to
the end of Its virgin soil. At present
only two civilized countries, India and
Russia, grow poorer average crops per acre than the United States. Where England gets thirty-two bushels yield
to the acre and Germany twenty-eight. America falls below fifteen. The chief reason Is that American farmers, as a whole, are behind ln their understand-
ng of the soil and it needs. The drift from the farm to the city
must be checked if the prosperity o the country Is to be assured and the developing of character of the men, women, boys and girls of the farm was care
fully discussed.
The social sterility of rural life Is i
grave question which only recently has been considered. There is' no reason
why country life should not be made quite as attractive as city life If there
is proper recognition of the Importance
of social development. The city man ir
now endeavoring to move back to the country in order to give his family the benefit of country life, but compara
tively few farmers have realized the
need of bringing the advantages of ik. I
city Into their homes. There should be
farmers' organizations, modeled after the business men's associations of ths larger towns, and there should , be hearty co-operation between the two.
In bringing this matter before the con-j
gress it was hoped that the business man might be brought to see the advantages of taking the initiative' in securing this co-operation, even to the
extent of helping the farmers to start i
their organization. The improvement of the country
church was considered from many i
standpoints. Generally, there are too j
many churches in the rural communities. Sectarian ideas divide the people too much. There is inadequate financial support for several churches, where on might be well supported. Many rural churches do not have resident pastors. These are supplied from neighboring towns and are generally of one denomination. While there are rural church which are Effective agents In the social evolution f the communities, the country churh as a whole needs new diretlon and to assume new responsibilities. The salaries of country pastors are pitiably low, often falling below $300
(Article 1.) i individual"- In the community. Rural The third annual Conservation Con-J church federation means that some one gress held at Kansas City, Mo., this church must be actively responsible for
every square mile. When one F. community In the open country has more churches than It can support, it means giving up .the ; superfluous church. Where a church Is needed, it means friendly co-operation and agreement to the kind of church to be erected. To many people the "women's end" of the congress was the most interesting of all. The "Conservation of the Woman of the Farm" received much attention, because the full success of
country life is largely in the hands of
the women. W hen they are over-burd- !
there cannot be any great nro-
gress. Consequently, the farmer's wife must have more help of every kind. Her work must be lightened by every labor saving device. She should '.lave better means of communication witn her friends and every possible social facility. The congress gave especial attention to women's clubs ln the country and endeavored to stimulate the number of arm women's organizations by
having thoroughly experienced women discuss the best means of securing more
rural clubs.
It is Impossible to give' succinctly
adequate description of the variety of
.he questions considered. The questions of public health, the terrlbl
death rate among children, the water
way question, the question of good
roads, dairying, worn-out soils, practi
cal forestry, conservation and the public domain, the farmer and the railroads, community clubs are some of the grave questions discussed and which will be dealt with installments by The Times during the near future.
