Amazing Home-Building Activitv Noted in Residence Portion of Hammond

A city within a city is under construction in Homewood and the south end of Hammond. In the territory between the State Line and Calumet avenue, south of Carroll street, in the neighborhood of half a hundred buildings are in the various stages of completion. Their approximate cost is $170,000. A list of forty-two buildings, which is subjoined, was made up by a Times reporter after a canvass through the new building district. Here and there a building may have been overlooked unintentionally, while the cost on each is an estimate rather than the actual figure . In most cases the owners thmeslves are unable to give them definitely. ' The list includes only such buildings which are under construction or which have only very recently been completed. In the latter class many more might have been included, but the idea was to make the list as nearly- up to date as possible. The list shows the growing popular ity of the bungalow. Kellastone, a new very highly, ja also Weil represented. "The cost figure ahow. all .the buildings to be quite substantial On every street is heard the sound and the echo of the hammer and the saw. A small army of craftsmen is employed in this . territory alone to erect homes for the growing popula tlon of the city. In other sections of Hammond there is'corresponding build ing activity, and still the cry for more homes continues. Mf Such concerns like the C. I. Hoffman Construction company are helping the situation materially by putting up sub stantial single residences and flat buildings. George Yeazel who buflds and sells homes has also been a factor and Roy G. Fowler is getting into the game too. He has three pretty little kellastone bungalows on Highlands street nearly completed and is planning ' to efe'ct three more. r j If one were -to make a list of buildings planned for this section of the city the figures would again run into tn hundred thousand.

San Francisco, July 16. One thous- . management of the Panama-Exposition as a prize to be awarded to the originator of the finest rose to be displayed during the exposition period. The judges, members of an international Jury of award, will base their I decision upon five qualities: beauty. ' size, shape, coolr, fragrance. Only one must be a distinct origination. The winning rose may not excel In all the qualities that are asked for it. but it must be a distinctly original rose. The winning rose will be known as the Panama-Pacific International Exposition rose. George A. Dennison, chief of the de partment of horticulture of the exposition, anticipates that a really wonderful result in rose culture will be brought forth. Some horticulturists have written him that they are well or. the way towards the creation of ! biue and lavender rose; others believe j they will discover the secret of a black rose.
