WATSON IS LOOKED Oil
WITH FAVOR
Prominent Gary Banker Is Viewed With Pride by Gary Republicans, and Is Mentioned in Connection With Mayoralty in 1913.
Samuel J. Watson, banker and public-spirited citiien, is the latest man to be mentioned In connection with
the republican nomination for mayor of Gary. The nomination -will not made until next year but there i "something doing" and of all the candidates, either democratic or republi
can, the name of Mr. Watson hm elicited the most favorable comment. If a good candidate is named by eithrer party in Gary next year it is claimed that "there would be a big obliteration of party lines. This is especially true of the young men, who are tired of contracting gang domination who will be ready to follow an honest leader. Mr. AVatson is president of the Northern State bank of Gary, being at the head of the institution since its founding In 1909. He Is a young man In his early thirties, is happily married, and is a big factor In the social and commercial life of the steel city. Under his management the Northern State bank has progressed steadily until It is one of the foremost financial institutions In the county and it is now building the finest banking home in Gary. Popular With Foreigners. Some of the elements .that contribute to the banker's availability as the next mayor are given as follows by his friends: 1. He has been Identified with no faction In the party. i. He has a strong hold over the foreign element of the city, his bank doing a greater business among the
foreign voters than any other Institution In the city. : " 5. He has been engaged in ." upbuilding the city; through his efforts hundreds of thousands of" dollars for realty loans have been attracted to the city .through eastern banks. 4. He is a consistent church member which is saying a great deal in Gary. 6. If he were nominated he would swing a big percentage of the young men's vote. - 6. He has always, been, a consistent graft fighter and while not a reformer he has always "been there" when it came to opposing rotten civic measures. 7. His election would restore confidence In the city and would attract outside money which has always been lacking because of the mismanagement of the city government. 8. His election would insure clem and honest city contracts; contract letting is the biggest part of the city administration. 9. His election would rid the city of the contracting gangs whose robbery of assessment payers have practically killed the real estate business in more than one section of the city. Young Men Orsranlitlnjt. There is a movement on foot now among the young men of the city to organize regardless of party to take
a hand in the nexfcity election. Three or four hundred young college men. bright and active fellows, and nearly I a thousand other bright young men 'only aw' the proper organization. In connection with this the con
tracting: gangs have already started
. out on a financial campaign of opposition and as one of the leaders put it:
"If I can't do business with men I buy
them just like cattle."
No sooner is a candidate mentioned in Gary than the public contracting
interests start out to see if he is pur
chasable and if not "to get something
on him." I Long ago it was found that Mr.
,Watson could not be bought and recently when the second degree was re
sorted to the investigators hired for the purpose could get "nothing on
'him." Ever since then Mr. Watson
has been looming up as a big man ani the greatest fear of the city contractors is that the banker, whom they cannot oppose with the customary
tactics, may become the next mayoral ty candidate.
IMPROVEMENTS ALONG
CANAURE MANY
Much Progress Is Being
Made Along Site of New Waterway.
The many Improvements now undor
way along the Indiana Harbor canal
are progressing rapidly. The Forsyth avenue bridge Is about completed and
the dredge is now at work a few hundred feet east of the bridge, laying the Standard Oil pipe line across the canal, and the Indiana Natural Gas line. As soon as this is finished the dredge will begin to excavate under
the bridge and go on through to complete the dredging of the west branch.
The B. & O. Chicago terminal is also
busy constructing a temporary bridge, similar to that at Forsyth avenue, but not so wide as It does not have to pro
vide for the teams. The B. & O. bridge
crosses the west branch of the canal at White Oak avenue, it being on the
Whiting branch of the terminal. The
openings under both of these bridges
is to be 42 feet which is sufficiently
wide to permit the passage of tins dredge through the draw." The dredg will be obliged to pick up the bridge as they are neither of the swing, nor the bascule variety and after crossing.
will replace the structures.
The Standard Oil company has
completed the construction of their
permanent docks and are now engaged in back filling. The company will
continue loading at the temporary docks until the E. J. & E. bridge i
completed.
The E. J. & E. are reconstructing the cofferdam which caved in under their new bridge about three weeks ago. This bridge cannot be finished before the end of the summer, but when it is there will be an end to bridge building over the main channel
for some time.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured by lo.-al applications, as they cannot reach the' diseased portions of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube fs Inflamed you have a rumbling sjund or' lrnpcrfe:ct hearing, and when It Is entirely closed. Deafness Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to lt$ normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by CataxrY which Is 'nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

' The members called . on Senators Kern and Shively and through them met Senator Nelson who - explained that it is the policy of his committee and of congress Itself, to keep down the appropriation - as low as possible In these matters. The Senate, he explained, was compelled to Incorporate 12,500,000 in ' the 'amendment for emergency work, the emergency caused by the Mississippi flood,, demanding this outlay. : Chicago also got $300,000 in the amendment, that ctiyst proposition being as Senator Nelson explained, an old one, while Indiana Harbor's was a- new one. It was also pointed out that Chicago had appropriated $5,000,000 to come out of its own treasury for harbor improvements tn which the improvement for which the $300,000 incorporated in the amendment to the Rivers and Harbors bill was merely an incident.

Yesterday Mr. Hodges went into Chicago to get his touring car which he had sent to the Badger company, from whom he purchased it, for necessary repairs.

Mr. Hodges was bo mad. so they say, that they persuaded him to leave the place for fear that the lightning that flashed from his eyes and the blue streaks that came from his tongue would ignite the gasoline tanks.

AT STATE CAPITAL.. Indianapolis, Ind., May 28. The auditor of state has decided to make an arbitrary appraisement of the Gary and Western Railroad. This company failed ' for three years to make a return of its property for assessment by the board, and this year the state tax board sent it a notice to come in with its report. It failed again, so the auditor will make his own appraisement. No one seems to know why the company failed to report. The auditor says he will make the appraisement this year $84,535. It has been decided, also, to make an appraisement for the other thee years, but the amount of this has not been stated. The Gary and 'Western is a short
