CONDITIONS WHOI'IHG

AT U. S. STEEL WORKS

Operating conditions a the Gary steel works and blast furnaces of th! Vnited States Steel corporation are fa' better than they have ever bee-n. Despite the fact that this is the time of the year when there is a let up In construction work an unusually large force is being employed. - Some of the facts substantiating this are as follows: . Of the eight blast furnaces six are in operation giving the plant the highest iron production in its history. There are 6.329 men on the payroll.. The billet mill is running- full blast and this week broke all previous records for production.'. The open hearth department is jn fine condition. , Foundries, machine . shops, ec. are working full time. '

The only 'dullness is in tne rati mill.

The monster axle mill and five rolling mills have many orders. The fact that orders were received to start the axle mill is the most healthy sign in the steel business. This mill stood idle a year after It was built because of the uncertainly of rail road orders and after it was started it ran but a few months. , Msay Order In Sight. Roiling mills which comprise the 10inch, the number one 12-inch, the number two 12-!nch. th H-lnch and the 18Inch mills are running good. Today's Iron Aye says: "There are several more indications that have appeared in months that the railroads have about reached their limit in the postponement of buying." all of which is qualified by the influx of steel orders into Gary.

The purchase of a farm by Joseph Belfieid, proprietor of Hotel Sherman, has brought out the fact that the Chi

cago hotel man made $350,000 out of

Gary real estate. It is possible that the

hantlsome hotel slruoluve at the corner

of Randolph and Clark streets in Chi

cago was partly paid for by the money

made in Gary dirt.

The siory as printed by the Chicago

papers is as follows:

by the city. The committee reported to the Commercial club at last night's

meeting and the report was accepted

and the prizes ordered awarded accord

ing to the findings of the judges. The judges reported that they went over all the'. ground several times carefully inspecting the work done by competitors in the contest. Nothing was considered excepting the homes and prop

erties regularly entered in the contest

The report stated that there were "well

kept homes, possibly better than the

ones to whom prizes were awarded

which could not be considered," and

the owners of these were commended i

by committee of judges. The committee further stated in its report that special mention should be made of "the excellent work and civic pride shown by the Beacon Street Improvement Association." The results of the work

of this organization should be an inspiration to other neighborhoods.

"We eommond also the Magoun avenue homes, especially between 143rd and 144th streets. The alley committee of tills block has demonstrated that alleys can be kept in good condition. "Much praise is due the citizens in what is known as the Oklahoma district for the Improvement made during the year. "The Magniski home on Fir street, though not entered in the contests, a model of neatnes and is highly commended by the committee." Checks covering the amounts of the various prizes will be drawn today and mailed to the prize winners.

FIRST TOUCH OF WINTER

The consid

eration Is not stated. Mr. Beifield was represented by Eli B. Felsenthal. "Mr." Beifield's purchase adjoins a tract of forty acres he bought almost twenty years ago. It Is Mr. Beifield's purpose

to use the entire eighty acres for a model dairy farm and for raising poultry, squabs, and vegetables for consumption at Hotel Sherman. "Int. h!a connection it is.of interest to note that Mr. .Beifleid acquired some years ago a tract of land which now constitutes a part of the town of Gary. He took this property on a trade at a valuation of about $100,000 and sold it to the stel company , at the rate of J750 an acre for about 600 acres, or $150,00."

TOLLESTOII IS WEUJIPPEDUP

Big Sewer System Makes

City Look Like. Section of Panama Canal.

(Special to Ths Times.) ' East Chicago, Ind., Xov. 2. East Chlcagoans got their first touch of genuine rock-ribbed, hard-shelled winter this morning, whea cars on the South Shore line coming from South' Bend, ice sheathed and their ronfa sir Inches

deep in snow, brought a foretaste t?j

wnai may oe expected in tnls region before long If predictions are true. ' The cars were not running at the usual hour, however, the Juice being frbzen by the unexpected cold, which registered 8 degrees below freezing, according to reports from Chicago. Power was not off long, however, the cars between here and Indiana Harbor beginning to run at about 6:30 a. m. Housewives got their first Impression of the extremity of th cold when .they went, to br)nfr in the milk. 1 Their surprise was considerable when they found the corks raised a couple of Inches above the mouths of the bottles, and the milk inside a solid mass of ice. ! A few water pipes are reported frozen,, but. the cold for the most part did not penetrate sufficiently to cause the plumbing to freeze.

The East Chicagoans, however, thought these things were not so bad aa they might have been when interurtan car crews brought reports of two feet of snow in South Bend and all the mow plows In town pressed into service.

The east part of Tolleston now looks a good deal like the Panama pictures the newspapers are printing. Tollcs-

ton's big $250,000 sewer system is under

way and will be completed within a few

months. Thirteenth avenue the route of one branch is a scene of much ac

tivity.

v un tne completion ot the mam

sewer Tolleston will be able to hav

sewers. city water, and complete fire

protection. Wort will be started very

shortly on the Tolleston - fire' ' engine

house which will be located on the old town hall site. Safety commissioners of Gary will receive bids for the structure within the next few weeks.

, DEFERS HIS TRIP. AV. H. F. Parry, the Gary brick agent, started for South Bend last night.

.when he reached Michigan City he saw that ' the Incoming South Shore cars were white with the first snow of winter. A few minutes later two snow plows left for South Bend. Then some one said that a foot of snow had fallen In that old-fashioned city. "Me for Gary," said Parry, as he got off the car an(j took t-e first flyer homeward. "I'll wait until next summer before I go to South Bend."

Senator Jeff Davis, of Arkansas, who was. recently married to ML'ia Lela Carter, of Mozart. Ark., is "in the West on his honeymoon. In an interview at Los Angeles, Senator Davis declared emphatically again3t woman suffrage. "I don't like the 'Tvay this state has gone about it," he thundered. "I wouldn't stand for"a man electioneering around by wife, would you?"

THE CHIEF WAS NEXT 10 HlfJI

Chief Martin's eagle eye resting on three lodgers who applied for shelter In the Gary police station last night resulted in the apprehension of a navy deserter. As the men marched up to the desk sergeant's window the chief said: , "Captain Mulcahey it you and your men keep a sharp look joul on these lodgers you may pick up some military deserters or some parole violators. Now

there u - three men -" Just then the chief paused.

"Hey,, .you. .fellow, you. step into my office." . "Yes, sir," came the answer from the man. . '. . v , . - . . "You are from the army?" "No sir.' was -the response from ths man. . - , ' "Weir your' bearing indicates it and the fact that you say so many "sirs leads me to believe that you have been in the army or navy."" " This the prisoner denied. Early, this morning Chief Muckian of the Bertillon system measured up lh! lodger and found that he was none other

than Charles E.. Ie!c,h, wanted by the authQr.it lea .at - Washington.- Leich deserted from the battleship New Hampshire. '

tail in a friendly manner when the boys invaded the cellar where he had been put for the night, and accompanied them outside when they left the

premises. The hoys next stole the gasoline and

kerosene cans from their hiding places, and emptying their contents set fire to the flu id, the flames endangering the house in the gale that was blowing at the time. They apparently, did not intend to burn the building, but lacked the judgment which should have warned boys half their' age that there was real danger in this performance.

After the shooting Osby took a westbound train on the Three I railroad and to date has not been captured. Mr.' Cross says that the trouble probably arose after loan

ing Osby a wagon to haul material for the new Shelby " school house on Oct. 30. where Cross works. Osby went to hauling stone with it. and after one day he (Cross) took it from him and loaned it to another man. This made Osby sore and he remarked, Cross says, "I'll

fix you. - On Halloween night as Cross, who lives with his parents, was just entr,n th house his attention was atracted and he turned his head Just In time to get one shot just under the eye, one entered his hand and' a big number entered his back, the gun being in the hands, of Osby.
