Chayken says TEE TIMES is the test cure for homesickness and hears that the H. H. S, hoys are not at all con. tent.! at Tort in Sew Ks.icpthire. By CHATXEK. Fort Mass., Slay 21. Th Vnited Stales army here is no place for a dilettante and I think that !1 the Hammond boys scattered in the np?:o!i Harbor will agri that I am about right and although the training Is a hard same the boys rind themselves la the best of health. Many prominent young fellows that f re well known in the athletic and business world are al this post. Many of tlie'w. unknown to their company commanders, find all of thern are daily found drilling or doing fatigue duty, i-'aiigue duty in the army I must explain Is a delicate way of saying "chore" work. The writer whs out to Boston Saturday and Sunday and noticed that when 2.rtit- of the 5.000 soldiers and sailors who are stationed in the Boston harbor tuAi louse on the 'War." town the result

is simply Impressive. Every principal hotel seems choked up to the piazza rails. The shops are full of olive drab and the streets tiro a slow-moving, smoking. jaw-wagging procession. Half of the soldiers In the harbor are always on leave and thin half ts always trying to. enjoy a change from shore life and that is all there i to it. The movies draw the lios rxenr but none enter the show p'accs and once in a while the Salvation Army band can be heard around the Commons. Hut beyond this the shore leave for most of the men is to buy cigars instead of the eternal cigarette of 4he soldier and saiior, to till the pockets with sweets and to lounge along the streets, munching, chatting.and drifting. The saloonkeepers stand'with wistful looks at their doors anil once in a while one goes in to quench his thirst. The sweet, and lovely New Kngland girls occasionally smile and sometimes the onlisted man responds. The Hammond boys are gradually getting the military air and appearance, and these exercises help as much as anything to do the training trick. Platoon and company formation with arms is ttill in force. Kvery man acts as hii own corporal and the thing is perfect to all. The real exercises and the long hikes which are m charge of Sergeant Willis shapens all arpctites and every mess call finds us all eagerly awaiting the viands prepared by our good coks. All viands piepared by our good cooks. All is another word for a waiter and at that it sounds a bit classy. Joseph Pierce, the former Hobarf baseball star and at present a rookie at Fort . is pome student when H coons to talking about history. Walter Jordan of our fair" city and .ne of Hammond's best amateur billiardist has laid aside his cue for tho lime being and has liken to khaki and rifle. Iavid Nelson. a member of the Four", company, was turtied for guard duty yesterday. Kdward C Kostehade of Hobart is another who has been turned to duty. Gieben Packhamn, another Hobart boy, is a prominent member at Fort and is daily learning the life of a soldier. Fred "Bully" Rueter. a West Hammond boy. is the first Hammond recruit to be restricted, the latter was given a 48 hour leave but stayed away 24 hours additional, hence the fine. Ka'ph. Snyder and Oscar Johnson of Hobart are two young fellows who always watch the kitchen closely. Michael Irzyh of Gary says life in the army is one good thing after an-

BETTER

SERVICE

itesolutione demanding ade-quate and suflcient treet car service in Hammond were paaaed at a meeting of the Eleventh "Ward aociation last night.

Uke resolutions are to be passed by

other ward associations. They will be

presented to the city council next Tues

day nigrht and that body will be ur;?ed

to co-operate in putting the matter beore the state public service commission.

An executive committee of five has been appointed. All data will be secured and arrangements made under its

direction. The members are: Attorney

Davld E. Boone, chairman; Mayor John D. Smalley, Attorney J. K. Stinson, F. Richard Schaaf, president Citireni German National bank, and Attorney Jesse K. Wilson, president Chamber of Commerce. An effort will be made io prove the following points to the utility body: 1. That an extension of lines on Calumet avenue, from State to Conkey avenue. is a public necessity. 2. That increasing population and probable patronage would warrant building. , ?. That the probable patronage in present conditions and probable increase would be a reasonable compensation on the investment. To secure data commutes are to investigate the benefits the factory workers in the vicinity of the Eleventh ward, residents and school children which will attend thn new Manual Training school would accrue rom the proposed Improvement. Not only an extension of lines but the service now being given by the Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago railway company Is being complained of. The company has promised better service, but so far, according to those b2i i the movement It has not been fct t!. coming.

ASSESSMENT RAISED

(Special to Tub Times.) IN'DIANAPOI-IS, IND.. May 23. The state board of tax commissioners, in a report completed Monday, fixed $280,583.849 as the aggregate valuation for taxation purposes, of steam railroads, interurban roads, express companies, telegraph companies, sleeping car companies, pipeline companies, telephone companies and transportation companies. The valuation represents an increase of $3,087,798, In comparison with

the valuations fixed by the board a year

ago. The increased valuation, however, is offset by a decrease in the state tax levy by act of the recent legislature. Tho valuations fixed on the different

classes of property which are assessed

by the tax board are as follows: Steam railroads. $214,857,379; interurban roads, $26,228,335: expres companies. $1,275.194; telegraph companies, $3,824,700;

sleeping car companies, $1,399,432; ripeline companies. $11,695,072; telephone

companies, $19,600,625; transportation

companies, $1,703,112. Each class showed a gain in valuation, except the interurbans. which were assessed at $113, 36S less than last .year. The gain in the valuation of railroads, due to improve

ments and additions to property,

amounts to $1,317,948. The telephone

properties also show a gain, an aggregate of $1,365,407. The pipeline companies showed an Increase, due to new pipes laid, of $101,503. The Interurban properties showed a

decrease of 17.47 miles in main track mileage and a gain of 15.97 miles - of

second main track. A gain of 9.71 miles of sidetrack was reported and a loss of 18.50 in rolling stock mileage was shown. Three interurban companies were increased in the valuation of main track. They were the Interstate Public Service Company, Hammond. Whiting & East Chicago and the Southern Michigan Railway Company. The tax board completed its spring session Monday, but shortly it will convene to hear appeals.
