DREDGE

COMPLETES ITS' WORK

The dredge New Tork. the largest dredge owned by the great . Lakes rredge and Dock Company has finished the -west branch of the Indiana Harbor and East Chicago canal to Lake George. On Sunday the dredge will be taken back through the cana.1 to Lake. Michigan to flit In the lake between the south pier at the entrance to the canal and the -pier opposite the South Bay hotel built by the Inland company some time ago, and back of the new

sea wall which is now being constructed by the steel company. After this is completed the dredge will return to finish its work in Lake George. The record established during July by the New York was a remarkable one. During twenty-seven working days the dredge advanced 2,650 feet 200 feet wide at the top, eighty feet at the bottom and 19 feet deep. This Is approximately an average of 100 feet progress a day. The taking of the dredge out into Lake Michigan is an accommodation to the Inland company, inasmuch as the work In the lake requires good weather for Us fulfillment.. The canal work and the work in Lake George on the other hand can be prosecuted practically all winter so the Inland company is being given the advantage of the comparatively good weather that is assured from now on until the Job of filling in the lake between the piers shall" have ben completed which will be in about two months. The Inland has six pile drivers at work on its new sea wall and is pushing the work just as rapid as posslb'e.

THE FIRST GRAY HAIR IS THE SIGN OF AGE Easy Way to Preserve Natural Color of the Hair and Make It Grow.

a harmless remedy, made from

common garden sage, Quickly restores gray hair to natural color. The care of the hair, to prevent It from losing its color and lustre. Is just as Important as to care for teeth to-keey them from discoloring. Why spend money for cosmetics and creams to Improve the complexion; and yet neglect your hair, when gray hair Is even more conspicuous and suggestive of age than wrinkles or a poor complexion? Of the two, it 13 easier to preserve the natural color and beauty of the. hair than It Is to have a good complexion. All that Is necessary Is the occasional use of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a preparation of common garden Sage and Sulphur, combined with other valuable remedies for dry, harsh, faded hair, dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair.

After a few applications of this simple, harmless remedy, your hair

will gradually be restored to its nat

ural color, in a short time the dandruff will be removed, and your hair will no longer come out but will start to grow as Nature intended it should.

Don't neglect your hair, for it goes

further than anything, else to make or mar your good looks. You can buy this remedy at any drug store for fifty cents a bottle, and your druggist will give your money back if you are not satisfied after using. Purchase a bottle today. You will never regret It when you realize the difference It will make in your appearance. Agent L.. Harry Weis.

The dredge Michigan has Been on the scene for some time but as it is not nearly so largo as the New York the work ho been necessarily slow. At the same time that the New York is taken out of the west branch of the canal, .the Indiana, now at work in the south branch, will be brought to the main channel to clean up a few spots indicated by the government as being not quite up to requirements. When finished thi? will be a channel having an. uninterrupted depth of -22 feet, or

nouncement of the purchasers that the property is to be used for Industrial sites a great deal of skepticism seems to exist regarding this phase of the matter. For instance a well known railroad man pointed out that Highlands and Griffith are outside of the Chicago switching district. When the fact that neither of these towns have a water system that could supply the limitless quantities of water that is needed for boiler purposes in an industrial community the purchasers are said to have remarked: "We will solve that question." GALES NOT RATED. A Hammond barjker was asked to look up C. E. Gales of Minneapolis, Minn. Dunn & Bradstreets do not have him rated. This does not necessarily prove anything but men who engage in half million dollar deals usually are rated. - Never-the-Iess the officers of the company have authorized J. S. Blackmun to give out the statement that the deal for the land has been closed and that in itself la significant. In the meantime the people of Highlands .are said to. have become greatly enthused over the proposition. A Hammond man went out to look up a corner and was told that nothing short of $15,000 would take it. A sharp boom in real estate is due despite the fact that there Is nothing tangible about the deal as yet. The mere transfer of this land, if It were not put to any use for the next five years, would not warrant any special boom in Highlands.

There has been a big gang of sur

veyors on the job tor several days, n being necessary to have an accurte

survey of the land before the deal could be closed. The land purchased includes part of that owned by Mrs. Carrie Wicker and her sister-in-law several hundred acres

owned by the Clough estate for which Randal Burns is the attorney. While the Industrial Center Land Company is the local company which is taking title to the property it Is understood that the purchasers of the land are in a similar company which operates in the vicinity of Duluth, Minn, and Superior, Wis. OTHER SITES CONSIDERED. . The deal had its inception several months ago when strangers came to J. S. Blackmun and asked him to look up several 1,000 acre tracts in the

Calumet region. He submitted a number of them and finally they became interested in the Clough and Wicker property. Blackmjun was Instructed to get prices on the property. The owners atid the purchasers then came to terms, options were signed up and the deal for the purchase of the property is Baid to have been closed today. The interesting thing about the deal is the fact that in spite of the an-

The detective was of the opinion, however, that Mr. Levy could not do so. It was at first thought that the men would be given a hearing in the city court yesterday, but their examination by the police occupied almost a.' day. The officers were, however, unable to get anything out of the three prisoners, although they were sweated hard for a long time. It Is hoped that one or another of them will let something sflp which may lead to the apprehen

sion or others of the gang, the police believing that there are at least five or six involved In it. Sergeant Frank Barker and his men are entitled to the many compliments

which are being showered on them, for

their clever work in the forgery cases, as well as in the arrest of Mrs. Reidan, who killed her baby. Both

and dollars the United States Steel cor

poration has completed for Its subsldi-

ry, the Gary Heat, Light and Water

company, new water facilities which

ave the capacity of serving a city of

300.000.

Four huge centrifugal pumps that

can bring In each S. 000.000 or a total

f 20,000,000 gallons every twenty-four

hours have been completed. Outside of the industrial plants Gary is using 2,000,000 gallons or one-tenth of this amount daily. The Gary waterworks

cost upwards of Jl. 000,000 to build and

the source of supply being out of the zone of pollution the water is pure.

"When its xdeath rate Is considered

and the number of typhoid cases It has

is taken into consideration it would

pay Hammond to buy Gary water," aaid

water expert today.

Gigantic Pumps Here. However large the city waterworks

is it is a toy compared with the Gary steel works pumping station. The steel plant water works has a total capacity of 210,000,000 gallons a day or

enough to supply a city- of a million and a half people.. Of this capacity

he works now use from 120,000,000

to 150,000,000 gallons daily which is

sufficient to meet the water demands of all Northern Indiana. Six huze

pumps of 35.0Q0.000 daily capacity operate at Gary works. The sheet and

tin plate plant which has Its own pumping station uses some 2,000,000 gallons of water daily.

AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS, THIS WEEK.' THROUGH EXPRESS TRAINS.

SOUTH SHORE LINES & ILLINOIS CENTRAL R. R. ONLY DIRECT LINE TO GRANT PARK

Pittsburg and Chicago are to be the

centers of a nation-wide movement to

organize the workmen of the steel. In

dustry, according to an announcement

by the American Federation of Labor. Organizers are to: be sent to every Im

portant mill in the country, no dis

crimination to be shown as between

mills of the United States Steel Cor

poration and those of independent concerns.

M"onday was set as the day for opening the campaign. Efforts will be made to secure the attendance of the work

men at public meetings to be held In

many parts of the country. In Pittsburg the matter will be largely in the hands of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel & Tin "Workers, headed by President John Williams. A circular signed by President Gompers and Frank Morrison, president and secretary respectively of the Federation, is being widely circulated. It announces that every class of labor, from the skilled men to the lowestpaid labor in the mills. Is to be taken Into the union. It Is probably something' more than a coincidence that the movement is launched immediately following the making of the report of the Stanley In

vestigating committee. The labor leaders believe that report will be a powerful aid to their success. The pending presidential campaign and the fact

that there is a great scarcity of labor in many departments of industry are regarded as additional favorable circumstances.
