MARKET VERY ACTIVE
West Hammond last- week showet proportionally more real estate activity than did Hammond, the Frank Wachewlcs agency alone bavins transferred 110,000 worth of property. In Hammond the Hastings Woods Realty Company was the only one to report alee of any size, although Gostlln Meyn & Company disposed of six lots Chicago property. The latter was wan purchased along Kedzie avenue at the time speculators figured that the big Baldwin locomotive plan would go there Instead of the Calumet. The Crane company of Chicago, bought the Baldwin site instead of on Kedzie avenue and the Hammond investors were enabled to realize handsomely on their investment. The Hastings-Woods Realty company reports three sales for last week In pite of bad weather and the election. Dr. H. J. White purchased 62 1-2 feet on Kenwood avenue and. will erect a fine residence next year. "Charles S. Fletcher, the works accountant at the Standard Steel Car plant bought fifty feet on Forest avenue and will build next year. Louis KliUke bought an additional 12 1-2 feet next to the corner of Forest and Kenwood avenues and Is having plans made for a home that is to be modeled after that belns built by Albert Maack at Crown Point. Kenwood avenue is now all sold out excepting one homesite at the cor
ner of Moraine street. The average cost of the residences which are already planned for Kenwood avenue is $10,000. Thus is the high character of the subdivision established. It is expected that everything in' the subdivision north of Cleveland avenue will be sold out this fall and early next spring. Four corner lots changed hands in
West Hammond last week and one of them is to be improved immediately with a modern brick three story apart
ment building. Urvin Spafford is drawing the plans for the building now for Joseph Reperowlc. The fifty feet arc
located at the corner of Forsythe ave
nue and One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street and wer brought from the United
States Brewing company. The cost of the apartment building is to be twen
ty-five thousand dolalrs.

A. Til TURNER FINDS ' A VERYOLD HAP Curiosity Found in Shape of Hardesty Map by Hammond Banker.
A. Murray Turner, the Hammond banker, has aecurefl, after an exhaustive search, a J. H. Hardesty map of Lake county printed in '74, when the now great Calumet region had a population of 1.500 and l most important town was Hessvllle. Today the district is peopled by 100,000 of every rce, color and tongue, a melting pot without parallel. To the best knowledge of the men who canvassed the county this copy of the first map of Lake'county is the only survivor. It is in Mr. Turner's private office at the First National bank today and will be taken to the Central Park library tomorrow where it is to be placed on exhibit, as the
property of that institution. First Pettier Remembers Hardesty. M. A. Halsted. the founder of Lowell, is mentioned in big type on the map with David Turner, Mr. Turner's father, S. D. Cross, J. Philip, E. W. Hohman and others. Though nearing the century mark Halstead remembers the author of the map very well and while here recently recalled the difficulty Hardesty encountered in securing1 subscriptions. The owners of farms who subscribed had their names printed under a list of prominent cltisena for $12 and in "caps"for $23.
All farms are marked with the owner's name. Nt EntUuAlajttlc About Hammond. The city of Hammond Is not mentioned.

Jimmy Clabby, veteran of over 100 ring battles and claimant of the middleweight title of the world, bade farewell to a large following of friends and ardent admirers yesterday afternoon as he boarded a train for Chi
cago. Last nignt ne leit on me
fore leaving yesterday Clabby turned
over all his business interests to his father who will be in charge of the Clabby buffet on Hohman street in the future. "I do not know how long I will be gone from Hammond or when I will return." said Clabby In an Interview yesterday. I like the western coast very much and if my plans do not fall through I may purchase property somewhere on the coast and stay there permanently. "Another thing that I have considered," said Clabby. "is the fact that most of my matches are on the coast and I have gained a wide acquaintance out there. Prospects look very bright for me Rt the present time." Clabby is also itching to make another trip to the antipodes and it is no more than possible that he will be back In Australia within another year's time.
Conducts Inquest. Dr. B. W. Chidlaw, deputy cororner, conducted an Inquest into the death of Mrs. Bessie L. Tillman yesterday afternoon. All evidence was taken. The doctor has not returned a verdict as yet.
Becker Addresses Class. Judge Lawrence A. Becker of the superior court bench, addressed the sociology class of C. M. McDaniel's night school uast evening. A hundred were present. Equal opportunity for all and special privilege for none was taught by Judge Becker as the fundamental principles or democracy. 'Every law," said he, "should be tested by that rule. Special franchise and protective tariffs are special privileges to certain privileged classes. The solution is government ownership of railways.
telegraph lines, and all public utilities." The Jurist ridiculed the scaring of
people by socialism and anarchy.

EGG PRICES SOAR TO 45 CENTS A DOZEN Shortage in Supply Brings on Winter Rates. Chicago yesterday experienced a shortage In eggs. "Winter" prices prevailed and strictly fresh eggs sold for from 42 to 45 cents a dozen, according to the locality. The rise In price, according to the wholesalers, is a reflection of the egg famine in New York. Speculation there, coupled with heavy buying and shipping, boosted New York prices to 45 cents and upward. The wholesale price in Chicago for candled t eggs yesterday was 28 cents. Fresh eggs were quoted at 36 cents.
