Equal Activity at Sooth Work. At the South Chicago south works, the sister plant of the Gary works, similar conditions prevail. There is an unusually heavy inflow of orders for Iron and steel of all kinds save that of rails. As an evidence of this the two rail. mills there are quite dull, but there is srood activity In other departments. Ten open hearths at south works that were ehut down for two years were started last week.

Tli ere Is an unusually good business in March
Since the beginning of the year the sum of $2,217.68 has been paid out by
the City of Gary to two Gary newspapers for legal printing. Of this sum the Gary Printing and Publishing company, publishers of the Gary Evening Post, the Knotts organ received $1,671.42 to date. The sup of 1546.26 has been paid to the Tribune company, publishers of the Gary Tribune. Rates Haines 300 Per Cent. I'ntU the latter part of May the Tribune got all of the treasury printing and a part of the board of works printing. Then the board of works which Is
made up of Mayor Knotts, Engineer Williston and Commissioner Shaw, ' passed a'resolution providing that the I Post should be the exclusive organ of the board. Thereupon the Post Increased its rate 300 per cent. Instead, of ask
ing the three newspapers of Gary to furnish bids the board proceeds aolng the lines indicated. This policy is costing the people of Gary three to four times what would be the regular cost of
printing were bids open to all. The Laws Prohibit This. Incidentally the Gary Tribune is now getting all of the' treasury printing from K. C. Simpson, a director In the Tribune company. The Post company has for Its president. Mayor1 Thomas E. Knotts, who is said to be heavily Interested In the concern. Indiana statutes provide penalties for city officials who are interested In companies which sell material or do work for the city so in this case. It Is said that both the mayor and the treasurer come within the scope of this law. The following figures show the amounts paid to the Gary papers for printing this year: Jry Evening Post.

Smith of Rochester, one of the leading bankers there, proved to be very popular. The ball room of the temple was decorated for the occasion, the walls being covered with autumn leaves suggestive of the Hallowe'en season. There were covers laid for 300 guests and every place was flUed.
