ELKS PUR BIG PICNIC

Some of "Best People" Are Practicing on the Tango for Next Saturday at Spring Hill Grove at St. John. (Special to Thb Timis.) Whiting, Aug. 9. A week from today there will be a general exodus from this city to St. John, one of the pretty little town in the Interior of the county, the occasion being an excursion ad picic at Spring Hill Orove under the auspices of the Whiting Elks. For a day the hundreds of picnickers who are planning to go to St. John are expected to forget that there is such a place as the oil city. The only reminder of it that they can find In St. John la th coal in the lamps which was manufacturede at Whiting and little of this will be in evidence as Spring Ull is more modernly lighted. The picnic will furnish an outing ocaslon not only for Whiting people but many of the "best people" and their families will motor to Spring Hill from Hammond, East Chicago, Indiana Harbor, Gary and Crown Point. The Whiting lodge of Elks is composed of all the necessary talent required to make a picnic a big success and some features along original lines may be looked for. The C I. & S. railroad connects Whiting and St. John directly and good transportation service is assured. Spring Hill is one of the most delightful spots in Lake County.- The picnic grove is ideal and the dancing pavilion Is the largest or nearly so in the county. The floor In it is unexcelled for , smoothness, and Senator Frank Lewis, Senator Frank Gavlt and Walter Schrage and some of the other "live ones" are said to be practicing up on the tango in their basements and garages to give this terpsichorean step the true Argentinean Interpretation. The best music obtainable is promised for the picnic ODD FELLOWS NAME OUTING COMMITTEES ., Committees have been, named for the Lake County Oddfellows outing aa foU . lows: General commltee W D.

CURTAIN CO. HAS BRIGHT PROSPECTS The Hammond Shade and Curtain company, organised recently with a capital stock of ten thousand dollars to exploit a patent granted by the United States Patent office at Washington at Steve J. Gill, 230 Towle street, Hammond, expects to begin the manufacture of the patent shade and curtain holder. In the very near future, a shop having already been equipped for this. The shop 41 by 60 feet is located on Wabash avenue in Hammond and Mr. Gill hopes to employ from seven to ten men to begin with. He already has orders for more than a half, m.lllon of the holders and the indications are that he will have a good thing if it is properly pushed. Six thousand dol lars worth of the capital stock has already been taken up by stockholders and the balance will be sold in Hammond, par value of a share being ten dollars. Outside capital was ready to take up the remaining shares but the officers decided to keep the investment at homo. Mr. Gill ia the president of the corporation and Attorney John M. Stlnson ia the vice president. John P. Zits, who is employed In the water rent collecting department in the city hall is the secretary and treasurer. The patent holder consists of a neat attachment, whose chief merit lies in fact that it is adjustable for all sises of curtains holding shades as well as the draperies, a thing that the market heretofore has never supplied satisfcatorlly. BIG ACRE DEAL IN CALUe DISTRICT Spalding Tract of 6,000 Lots Purchased for $500,000 by Waterloo, Ia., Man. A big acre deal In the Calumet district has been closed, involving what is known aa the Spaulding tract, comprising the residue of a subdivided tract of 1,100 acres. It has been purchased try E. P." Caldwell f Waterloo, Ia.. for a reported consideration of $500,000. It lies between Blue Island and Harvey, extending from 141st street on the north to 155th street on the south, and from Western avenue on the west to Ashland avenue on the east. It Includes the village of Posen, said to be t,he only practically exclusive Polish town In the United States, or from Western avenue to California avenue, and from 143r to 146th streets. Comprise 0.000 J.t. The property comprises about 6.000 lots and sixty acres of unaubdivided land between the Baltimore and Ohio, Chicago Terminal and the Grand Trunk, which is reserved for manufacturing site. The deal was negotiated by J. Spule Warterfleld and G. S. Abbott of Whitesid- & Wentworth. The Chicago Title ami Trust company was the grantor, holding title for the Spaulding Land association. More than 2,000 lots are inside the city limits of Harvey and are supplied with water, sewer, gas, etc. About 1,000 lots are in the village of Posen, while the Chicago and Interurban Traction company line runs diagonally through the tract and together with the Illinois Central, Grand Trunk and Rock Island roads gives, a combined passenger service to and from the city of 20S trains daily. The property was taken oft the market Just after the world's fair by the recent owners. Set a New Record. It is believed to be one of the largest single subdivisions which has been placed on the market in Cook county in years, anij it probably will stimulate conditions In- Blue Island and Harvey. It will be placed on the market at once, and Mr. Marterfleld will act as Mr. Caldwell's special agent. The property lies about one mile southwest of the Johns- Manville plant in West Pullman. ; Edgar R. Cobb has purchased from Mr. Caldwell through Mr. Warterfleld a tract of 43 acres, extending from One Hundred and Forty-third to One Hundred and Thirty-sixth, street, along the B. & O. C. T.-and the Indiana Harbor belt, and it Is stated will begin the erection of a plant for a large industry. The Wallet iron works has purchased four and one-half acres between the B. & O. C. T. and the Grand Trunk roads

MRS. PORTZ DYING. (Special to Thb Timbs.) St. John, Aug. 9. Mrs. Susanna Porta who i more than ninety years old is dying at her home here. All hope for her recovery has been given up and her death is only a question of hours. She has been in a comatose condition since yesterday.

Just west of Wood street and has begun work on a new plant. Mr. Caldwell, It Is announced, is to build his specialty rail mill on the nine acre tract between the B. & O. C. T. and Grand Trunk Just south of 143rd street. About People 1 L Some Chats With Folks On Things of Interest Elevate and electrify, are the policies of W. B. Muir, democratic nominee for the city council, who finds in the clouds of smoke that engines belch forth into the atmosphere in Hammond a great recurrent evil. "When Chicago demands electrification as it will eventually Hammond can do likewise," he said today. "The ter minals are all in this city or south of it and we will not Impose a hardship upon the roads by exacting the improvement. What Is to Be. "Today we are blinded and sickened by smoke, our homes and business places made unclean and the progress of the city blocked by smoke, great, choking clouds of it, pouring down Hohman and State streets, a smudge that drives the busy bees of business in doors. "Elevation is the only remedy for conditions that exist on the railroads in Hammond. Danger at crossings can never be eliminated until they are done away with. It is coming much sooner than any of use expect. Like magic Hammond will be transformed a met. tropolis with its railroads hoisted on concrete, elevations, or submerged below the street level. Big buildings rising up here, there and everywhere. Our ratio will boom, our population triple. Five years from now when all cities of the Calumet have grown together Into a municipality of 150,000 these things will be happening and we might as well get into that spirit of progress right now." Will Sue Theater. Charles Moore will bring suit against the Orpheum theater for the loss of services of his son Harry, whose per sonal injury case U now in the courts. Moore Jr. was injured when he tumbled downstairs and broke his arm in the State street show house. Moore was descending from the balcony. It Is charged by his attorney that the stairways in the Orpheum are poorly lighted and Irregular. ENSLEY'S MOTHER INFT. WAYNE Chief of Police Austgen of Hammond received word from the Rensselaer authorities this morning that the mother of Clem Ensley, the young Hammond man who was killed by a Motion train east of Pleasant Ridge Tuesday night, has been located at Fort Wayne, Ind. The remains have been shipped to Fort Wayne, where Interment will be made at his former home. MOOSE CARNIVAL; REISS SHOWS The Loyal Order of Moose, East Chicago lodge, is putting on the biggest and best carnival ever held In this section, next week. They are to have the Nat Reiss shows to furnish their amusement. This is the same organization that has recently appeared in Kensington and South Chicago, where, as old-time critics used to put it, "they captured the city." Extracts from the southern press where they were this winter and spring vouch, for the shows as the best ever. The tents will be pitched on Chicago and Tod avenues in the heart of East Chicago. HEAVY STEEL ORDERS PENDING Steel prices are apparently tending easier and sales of steel plates have been made In the east at concessions of $1 per ton. Steel wire and sheet steel have also been sold below ruling quotations. The price break has been due to the small volume of business and to the less favorable crop outlook. Orders are coming in slowly and there will have to be some new impetus to enable the mills to operate at their present rate of production. About 10,000 tons of structural material have been placed this week including buildings In New York and Cbicago, with 6,000 tons for a new Panama-Pacific exposition building. For the new battleship to be built at 'the Brooklyn yard 10,600 tons of plates went to the Carnegie Steel company. St.

DUNN'S REVIEW SHOWS MONEY MUCH EASIER Increased Buying Is Re flected in Gain of Payments. Dun's weekly review of Chicago trade today will say: The prominent activities are seen to be surprisingly well sustained, considering the climatic drawbacks and the usual Summer quiet. Increased buying power again is reflected by gain In the volume of payments though the banks, while money Is easier In tone and the markets ex hibit upturn in securities. Bank clearings, $298,443,231 exceed those of corresponding: week last year by C.B per cent, and compare with $237,362,772 in 1911.

The sound value was found to be $1,114,125, with insurance of $702,000, the companies paying $439,120. There was no coInsurance clause on the form. The fire raged for nineteen hours and destroyed ten acres of lumber in spite of the fire departments of ten towns, including a division from Chicago. The water supply was deficient, and It was finally stopped by impressing several thousand men and moving all of the lumber for a hundred-foot In the path of the fire. The manufacturing part of the plant was recently equipped wit hautomatlc sprinklers. Chicago Record -Herald. INDIANS LIKE TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED Old Time Prejudice of Red Man Has Broken Down For Movie Men, The motion picture shows have broken down the Indian's prejudice against being photographed. The Indian brave who experiences the excitment of the wild west arena and the admiring attention of the crowd, or who engages In a motion picture battle scene In which his prowess as a warrior and his skill as a horseman are exploited, almost In variably become a "bug" on having his "picture taken." He will pose almost without question for the "comera fiend" and will travel any distance to see a film In which he appears. He is as proud of his picture as a cowboy is of a new pair of "chaps." The Indian's natural dislike to being photographed was formerly a familiar fact to passengers on the trans-continental railway lines. Travelers in the west and southwest will recall the effort of the Indians to keep from being snapshotted by the ubiquitous amateur photographers. The Indian women whp clustered about the railway stations and offered pottery and bead work for sale were keenly alert for the kodak, and would cover their faces the moment they saw a "devil machine" turned towar them. Many an unsuspecting girl has had her camera snatched from her hand and broken by Irate Indian women who resented being snap, shotted. If they submitted to being photographed it was with great hesitancy and for a stipulated price, and their uneasiness during the operation was evident. But never, with their 1 consent, was it possible to snay a

"It took me several days and cost me a lot of money to secure pictures of Sitting Bull's wives and daughters," D. F. Barry, the photographer, of West Superior, Wis., whose collection of Indian, photos has an almost incalculable historic- value, said recently, "The prejudice of these Indian women against being photographed was almost impossible to overcome and several times when I thought I had them successfully posed in front of the shack where Sitting Bull was killed, they, ran away, and I was compolled to re-persuade them and pay them all over again."

VALUABLE NOTES ARE STOLEN Michigan City Physician Report Loss. Michigan City, Ind., Aug. 9 Mortgage notes aggregating $21,000 were stolen some time yesterday afternoon from the office of Dr. T. L. Eads, a local physician, according to a report made last night to the police. A gold watch was also taken.

BURGLARS ARE BUSY IN GARY (This story Is not taken from the police reports. It was suppressed.) The burglars are once more busy In Gary. Last night they worked for three hours remoblng the iron bars and brick work that have kept them out of Morris Goldman's saloon in Broadway, near Fifteenth avenue, but they got in just the same.
