EDITOR ARGUs-1t is well known that
prominent and controlling man on the c. r..
/. b p. railroad company has said that Rock
Island should never have an eastern COM
peting road. Now, would it not be the
height OF folly to vote subscription to the
Peoria road to help get it from Peoria to
Carbon Cliff or Colona and then have the
c. R. l. d P, company get control of the
stock and stop it there, thus keeping its
present monopoly of transportation This
would be the probable result. Where then
wonld be our eastern comPehnR line No
road can get out Of Rock Island now,
for the east, except over the c. r. |. Il P.
track, nor does that company intend any
road shall do so. The FIRST interest of our
people is to get a competing eastern line,
and get it the quickest way possible. That
can only be done by Coal Valley. voted
for subscription at the other trial-but /
shall vote against it now, lst, because the
Coal Valley route is the true route, and I'd,
because if we vote for subscription via Mo-
line it cuts US off from voting in favor of
any other route. Everybody in Rock Island
ought to vote against the subscription next
Saturday. Cheap FREIGHT.

which, in our judgment, is true TO the principles
Of loyalty, liberty and EQUALITY BEFORE THE
