FaEE FERaY.-A number Of the ci'isens OF
Moline residing or engaged in the business
On the Island, have established Fl ee ferry,
to run until the dam road is repaired. The
rope was stretched and ferrying commenc-
ed last Friday This will add greatly to
the convenience of doing business on the
Island.
A LARGE LUMBERING CoMpANY.-Many of
our citizens are probably ignorant of the fact
that Moline is the head quarters of one Of
the largest numbering companies in the west
The John Morse Lumber Co" is the name
Of stock company which wac formed last
winter. consisting of Messrs Keator d Skin.
ner of this place, Messrs. Morgan 4 Morse
Of Wisconsin and two other gentlemen
whose names we disremember. The capital
of the company consists of el leven thousand
acres Of the best pine lands in Wisconsin,
the large steam saw mill and Sash and
door factory in Moline, besides abundant
means to carry on their business. They
will cut their logs in the winter, raft them
down here in Spring, cav and cell their lum-
ber during the Summer and Autumn. They
are doing large and profitable business
Mr.. Keator, we believe, is the principal
stockb der in the concern, owning about
one third.

The undersigned, two Of q committee ap-
pointed at . former meeting Of the citizens
Of the 9th ward, would make the following
statement:
One of the undersigned was induced to
sign q report, presented at previous meet

learned that such was not the fact. We
have found, upon examination, that the
amount of tax to which the 9th ward was
