best of their ability. MRS. J. E. METCALF, Secretary. Some Incident of Tmg Day. Many amusing things occurred dur

ing the day, and "if all could be collected, they would no doubt be very Inter

esting.

one tagger was persistently ques

tioned by a man as to what tag day was, who was benefited, where hospital

was. etc., ana tnen smilingly drew a

handful! of tags from his pocket. A mill man was tagged in the morn

lng and was surprised, when coming out

of the gate In the evening to find tag

ger still on duty. He said: "What, you

still here! Well. I have just 30 cents

left. I guess I may as well give it to

you.;' And he did.

Ahother man gave all his change ex

cept one penny, which he said he must

save to buy his evening paper.

A small girl challenged a workman who was busy on the derrick of a steam

shovel. He said- she could tag him if she could come up there. She was game and made the trip and secured

$1.00 for her trouble. Her Hair Wa Uncombed.

A man on a load of hay searched his

pockets and found three cents which

he gave, regretting that he was not

prepared to give more.

One lady who could not do actual

tagging, assisted by keeping tt chil

dren of several mothers, thus enabling

them to give their help. Another lady

who lives near the Kirk hotel, kept

open house all day for the - taggers

Here they warmed themselves and were served with delicious coffee and sand-

v sches.

One little tagger worked In the early hcurs at the pumping station, without

breakfast and with uncombed hair be

neath her scarf. What stronger proof

cculd we have of zealous Interest?

One man. asked to take another tag,

replied: 'Not much; I'm no First Xa

tional Bank."

Many men entered mills with checks ii the morning, but promised to take

tags on their return. True to their

promise, they came back and even

hunted up the very tagger to whom

the promise was made. .

Some of the women who worked con

aider that the privlelge of entering "the

hops and mills has been productive 6

a' widened knowledge of Industrial af

fairs here and has been an education In

itself and they are glad of the erperl

ence. Beer tt. the IIOMpltal,

There was also a pathetic side to the

day's experiences. A line of men seek

ing work and returning unsuccessful

but who gave to the taggers (many o

them 5 cents e-ach) showed the rlgh

sort of spirit,

A man was approached on Broadway

wno said he would rather give hli

money for a glass of beer. The fal

tagger argued that the hospital would

care for him when he waa sick an

the saloon would have no use for him

He said: "Well, I guess you are rlgh

about that." He set his suit case dow

and drew from his pocket a silver dol

lar which he gave to her,

In a shop of thirty-three workmen

all were tagged but two. these bein

out in the mills. The foreman asked

the taggers to return In an hour. These

BISHOP TO LECTURE

Oil THAT BOY

Distinguished Churchman

Visits Indiana Harbor This Evening.

(Special to Tub Times.) Indiana Harbor, Oct. 28. Church

circles, and in fact the entire cultured element of Indiana Harbor, are Interested in the lecture which Is to be de

livered by Bishop JohnH. Vincent of

Chicago at the Methodist church, Fri

day evening, Nov. 3. The prominence of the speaker and the quality of his lecture "That Boy" have been the means of arousing interest in the lecture all over this region and many peo

ple are expecting to attend from East Chicago, Hammond, Whiting and Gary, for it Is not every day that a lecturer

of such distinction- In the church and

esuch scholarly, attainments Is. heard in

the Calumet region. .. . ....

The lecture Is one which has been

heard In every large city In the United States, and also in Europe, Bishop Vin-

to every mother and father In the community. The lecture, however, is not confined to a study of the boy problem alone, as might be Judged by its title, but takes up the question nearest the hearts of parents of daughters as well as of sons. Those who have been responsible for bringing Bishop Vincent to Indiana Harbor have been much congratulate! and the rapid sale of tickets attests to the fact that there will be a large audience to listen to he splendid alk. Public spirit as well as an interest in the lecture will help to swell this throng, as residents of Indiana Harbor feel that when so high .a compliment

is paid their city by so distinguished and busy a man as Bishop Vincent, the occasion Is well worthy of their presence.

Hdmmond, Indiana

For quick-growing cities Canada

holds the record, and along with lis fame for rapid increase in population goes the huge jumps in values which city lots have made in promising towns.

Calgary was but a small settlement

when the Canadian Pacific Railway

opened It up, but within a compara

tively short while afterward It had

leaped from .4.000 to 40,000 population, and sent prices of lota up as high as $30,000 a sum which is more than 100 times as much as the original cost.

Fort George, Edmunton, Prince Albert and a dozen other thriving new cities have taken the same kind of an upward turn when the railroad came, and It Is common knowledge in Canada that a hew railroad Is a fortune brlnger. Great as the prosperity has been which other railroads have brought to Canada, there is a new and greater era

now approaching with the ' completion of the Grand Trunk Pacific,. This na: band of rails will span the continent from ocean to ocean, and especially In British Colmubia It will open up a territory so vastly Wealthy that its riches can hardly be computed. A hundred million dollars is but a small Estimate of the advance In property values which the new railroad will bring. A huge slice of this amount will be made in Fort Fraser, which is' already

or such importance that It is calle

"The Hub City of British Columbia," being situated on the main line of the registered right of way of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad and having a

big. navigable river on two sides, as well as commanding the commerce of 4

region of over 40.000 square miles. There can be no other prospect than tremendous deveolpment for this for tunate location. And when the development starts it grows quickly. The history of Canada shows that a single year will often bring almost unbelievable changes. Those who invest In Fort Fraser lots now are practically sure to double or trlpla their money during the first few months, after the boom starts, and those wise enough to hold on to their property a little time longer can well expect to finally draw out a tidy fortune from their Investment. One thing is certain. Values can never go back for the watchword of Canada is "Progres," and its vigorous people are bent

on prosperity. Fort Fraser lots if taken quickly can be bought now. before the railroad conies, for as lltle as from $150 to $200, with title guaranteed by the British Columbia Government, on easy terms of 10 per cent down and G per cent per month, with no interest or taxes until lots are fully paid for. SSnce the new railroad is now rapidly pushing on toward Fort Fraser. and must he completed in 1813 and probably will bo
