Slowly and almost imperceptibly Scores of Hammond s first resident have driftod away to other climes and ether state?. California hs? been chosen by a great number of former Hammonditc.s as their tuture homo. In fact, so many people of the county have emigrated to that promised land that a sort of Lake County Colony has sprung up there and ihrives anew each ear with fresh additions. The bright, cheerful days, the equable climate, the warm friendly sun, and the mild rams have lured tho hardy sons and daughters of the Calumet rcton who feel no longer a love for crisp October morning?, and Christmas snows, and the sharp February wind crimsoning the faces of skaters. Let Jscar A. Krinbit!, manager of the Hammond r.el! Telephone Exchange, tell about the former Hammondites he met at Lake County Colony during his two months sojourn in California with Mis. Krinbill. "There was Harry Mlnas at Hollywood. He is crar.y about California his part of the stale. At Hollywood, too, he's right in with all the movie folk. Harry thinks of returning1 to Hammond In Ju'y and disusing of Ms interests here, his home and so on. Then ho intends to go back to Hollywood forever. "In Los Angeles I came upon Henry J"undt. the former contractor. The. refrain of h's family is 'lOcp the whole T. S. A. but give us California." He l:as entered ih gro.-ery business there arid says ho is doing very well. "George Ixv-k'in. president of the Enterprise Bed Co., bobbed up also in Tos Angeles. He h erected a handsome bung-alow !n one of the choice neighborhoods. He may be back here this summer.
