NEW STEEL CAPITAL
AT GARY, INDIANA
NEW TOWN TO BE GREATEST OP
.ITS KIND IN THE WORLD.
$4S;000,000 Additional Has Been Set
Aside by Steel Trust to Develop
Plnnt and Model City.
Chicago, Aug. 11. Satisfied that
Gary, Ind., will bo tho stool capital of
tho world, tho directors of tho United
States Steel Corporation have decided
to invest an additional 145,000,000
in the construction of tho model city
and steel plant just across the Indi
ana state lino from Chicago. Infor
mation that tho directorate of tho
Btcel corporation had sot aside tho
extra $45,000,000 for tho purpose of
developing Gary was rccolved at tho
Now City today and caused a rapid
advanco in values and a buoyant sen
sation through tho humming town.
The MMOO.OOO is in addition to
tho original appropriation of $75,
000,000 estimated as the necessary
outlay for tho building of tho plant
and for tho formatio'n of the city
which will house a score of thousands
of workers who will be employed nt
Gary when the final plans of the
Bteel kings have been consumated.
The excess appropriation is to be
used in widening tho scope and extent
of the steel plant proper. The cost of
tho building of Gary is Included In
the first estimate which was mado
when it waB proposed to transform a
deserted acreage of drifting sand into
the greatest steel manufacturing city
of tho continent.
Three thousand men wore at work
yesterday building Gary and addi
tional help js being employed by the
battalion daily. Tho accomplishments
of the steel magnates in the conctruc
tlon of the plant and the city since
tho first spadeful of sand was turned
June 16, 1906, almost surpass comprehension.

Anthrax and Glanders Break Oat In
Neighborhood of San Jose
Cattle Dying.
San Jose, Aug. 11. Anthrax and
glanders, two of the most virulent
contagious diseases among cattle and
horses, and one of which at least is
communicable to man, have broken
out again in San Jose. Ever effort
of P. H. Browning, county veterinar
ian, is being bent "toward tholr eradi
cation. Dr. Browning's report to the
Supervisors this afternoon showed
an appalling state of affairs, with cat
tle dying by the scores in the fields
about San Jose, tho East San Jose
district being tho center of the an
thrax. This infection is oven more
fatal to mankind than to cattle, and
many of the stockmen in tho outlying
districts aro requesting that they be
innoculated with their cattle against
the disease.
Several months ago many fine milk
cnttlo died with the disease, and It
was tho bolief of the veterinarian
that his preventative measures had
provailed. The recurrences of the
malady has lead to a stricter quaran
tine, and Milk Inspector Bryant will
endeavor to prevent tho possible salo
of milk from quarantined animals.
NEWS OP MYRTLE POINT.
(Enterprise.)
Tho camp meeting of tho Seventh
Day Adventlsts which has been In
session at Gravel Ford for ten days
closed last Sunday, after a very suc
cessful series of moetlngs. Five were
baptised into the faith of that de
nomination as tho result of tho meet
ings. After three weeks of camp llfo at
tho detention hospital II. A. Tucker
and C. A. Marcy wero given their
freedom Thursday, their persons and
effects being given a thorough fumi
gation. The latter did not contract
tho disease. Tho othor two cases are
showing a fine recovery and no othor
now cases have been reported, bo that
danger from tho dlseaso might be
said to be safely paBsod.
J. W. Hall, who lives south of
Myrtle Point, has received the sad
news of tho death of his son, Duff
W. Hall, his death having taken place
In tho American hospital at Mexico
City on Thursday, August 1st, of
smallpox. Tho young man wns 23
yearB of ago and had been away
from his Myrtlo Point homo for four
yearB. Ho waB well known by tho
pooplo of Myrtle Point nnd vicinity,
and tho parents have tho sincere
sympathy of all In tholr loss.
James Gurnoy of Romoto had a
pigeon call at hla homo and make
itsolfvat homo for a week or two. At
first tho family attompted to drive
tho bird away, but It mado itsolf bo
complotely at home, going to tho cup
board for its food, that they por-
mlttod It to roraaln, and on examina
tion found a gold band around ono
leg, and the date 1&07. It has since
been the belief that It was one of tho
carriers that have been passing be
tween Los Angeles and Portland,
that strayed from Its flight. Tho bird
has recently disappeared and prob
ably continued Its flight to one city
or the other.
There is abundant ovldenco to
prove that good farm lands In tho
Coquillo valley are worth all that
Is asked for them. J. L. Lewollon
has just furnished such evidence. On
eight and a half acres of bottom land
Mr. Lcwellen cut 30 tons of hay,
which ho sold for $10 per ton. He
will cut a second crop that will bring
In another $120, making a total of
$420 from tho acreage in one year,
not to mention tho pasturago that
can bo obtained from tho land during
tho, winter and early spring months.
Fifty dollars an aero for a hay crop,
with no other exponoe but harvest
ing of tho crop should bo a very sat
isfactory income.
At the city council meeting Mon
day night, the waterworks committee
reported recommending important
changes of the system. The lnade
quacy of the present system was
pointed out and remedies suggested.
Tho replacing of the wooden main
with iron or steel piping acrots
Carey creek Is deemed absolutely nec
essary and the wooden pipe through
out the system is recommended to be
replaced as soon as possible. The
reservoir is In need of repairs and
the installation of an auxiliary pump
ing plant to pump water from tho
North Fork was likewise recommend
ed. The present piping leaks like a
sieve, tho rosorvolr does not hold wa
ter within four feet of the top and
the supply flowing In would be in
adequate for fire purposes in a fire
of any extent and duration and fam
ilies are curtailed in their supply.
The clerk was instructed to write
different firms for figures and esti
mates on the proposed improve
ments. Ordinance No. 81, forbidding
the firing of flro crackers or fire
works within tho city limits was
adopted. ,A remonstrance against
repairing Maple street was placed on
file, and P. L. was named as a com
mittee of one to provide oxtonsion
ladders for the flro department.
Our Naval Program.
Tho wisdom of transferring the At
lantic fleet to the Pacific is generally
recognized abroad, and it is interest
ing to note that tho arguments ad
vanced in favor of this, follow clisoly
tno lines emphasized in these col
umns. The strategic necessity of the
movement is accepted, and the Navy
and Military Record of England, for
example, declares among other things
that our justification lies in the fact
that no American Interests are men
aced on the Atlantic seaboard and
apart from all subsidiary questions
such as Japanese emigration, we
need "a Pacific fleet, and a strong
ono." This rings clear and true.
To station such a fleet in accord
ance with obvious strategical require
ments cannot, It is held by all fair
minded judges, be regarded as a
menace to any nation, because wars
have often been averted by such time
ly precautions, and the last thing we
seek is war. The real significance of
the proposed voyage lies, therefore,
In tho probability, with the warnings
sounded, that Congress may at least
be brought to recognize that adequate
fleets must bo stationed off both our
seaboards. This, of course, means a
definite increase in shipbuilding, and
as a corollary, the formulation of a
logical program that will supersede
the present haphazard system of fleet
increase.
It is somewhat odd to observe that
this same service journal finds in this
probablo extension reason for the
British government to decide definite
ly whether the two-power standard
should not tako account of the Amer
ican fleot. But on this side of tho
water wo hope for hotter things.
