August 1S!'3 but has lived In Hammond all of his life until recently when he accepted a splendid position as auditor for the Indiana Security commission In Indianapolis Mr. Millies was graduated from the Hammond high school In the class of nineteen hundred and twelve. In the earliest days of the organization of the Roostir club he became a member, and was one of their most affable and likeable young men.

Mr. Millies was a member of the Garfield lodge, took the consistory at Fort Wayne In 1917 and was a member of Orak Temple In Hammond. At the time of the world war he served 1n the Medical corps stationed at Philadelphia. Before leaving Hammond Mr. Millies was with the Pullman Car company and the F. S. Petr. company.

The bluff Is similar to that of the north shore and in addition there are the Dune mountains and the wonderful sacd beach. This property and the subdlvlsfon at Miller Park aje tha only residential opportunities remaining along Ieke Michigan In Indiana. The five or sis miles ot Injns region east f this property will probably be fcured for a State or National Parle Tho five miles west of the property up to the Miller park Beach la practically closed for Industrial purposes. Unless prompt action is taken to secure the remaining property for a State or National raxk, or for preserving it as a combination park and subdivision, as at Dune Acres, it too may be used for industrial purposes. 5Ir, Teman has been considering offers to sell his property for industrial purposes. While tt may b unfortunate that this beautiful tract cannot be secure? for the National Park, it is some consolation to know that the Dunes will be preserved in their natural state. Also, from present prospacts, there la remaininr all of the !un region that It will be possible to secure for a National Park, It is evident, however, that urdess tho Indiana legislature acts during the coming fxten that it will be too late 1o secure any of this shore of Pake Michigan in Indians for a parkMany people are familiar with the development north of Michigan City durnr tb past our years.
