Two thousand feet of concrete dock, the most substantial that engineer can contrive or money and muscle can build, will be constructed at the Inland steel plant along the canal nest

spring. The concrete dock will replace the piling one, a part of which wis

torn away last fall during the pro

cess of unloading a vessel, causing a

quarter or a million dollars loss. Jt

was deemed advisable to build fen en

tire new dock, rather than to attempt

10 repair the old one, as the latter

would cost considerable and might prove no more enduring than did th. last one. J Ray Seeley the county surveyor wa:

on the ground yesterday. surveying

for the new dock, putting in stakes

and doing the preparatory work neces

sary to building. With the first oppor

pictures of the industries now being erected there. "The people of Hot Spring nver saw better pictures than the reels pertaining to Gary. "'That city is going to be the Pittsburgh of the West," said Mr. Ansley. TV'hy, just think of it, the youngest kid' In Gary is older than the town. That Is our slogan; it shows -what w are doing, and there will be a pleasant surprise for the patrons of the Princess when the pictures of Gary are thrown on the screen.' "There will also be shown as a prelude to the moving pictures, several stereoptlcon slides, which depict the scenes of the swamps of Gary six years aeo; also pictures of the first house built there, the early arrivals and other interesting features that Industrial Gary in its great progress has buried beneath Its monster steel mills ' and modern buildings."
