ANOTHER Rock ISLAND ENTERPRIsE.-
The irresistible evidence of the day is that
Rock Island is growing in all that makes
city, and in nothing is it more plainly seen
than in the new enterprises that are hasten
ing to establish themselves here. The last,
and one ofsome importance, is the opening
OF a trunk mandatory at No. 20 Illinois
street, by Mr.. J. Smersh, who comes here
with an experience of sixteen years in the
business. Everything in the trunk line can
be found at his establishment. We wish
the new enterprise success. There is still
room for others. There is no better point
in the Northwest for capital and experienced
labor to thrive and grow rich.

CAMPBELL's CHAIH-CoAL DISCOVERIES
The report that six feet vein of coal had
been discovered at Campbells chain, turns
out to be hoax, and severe one at that to
the Pleasant Vslly farmers who. in anticips-
ton of hidden wealth undermining their
farms, formed a ring to raise prices on prop
erty, and to the disappointed prospectors,
The secret of the matter is, as we learn from
Mr.. Steve Henry, one of the old settlers OF
Scott County, that in 1912, the steamer
Old Brazil sunk barge loaded with coal
on Cambells chain, where it has laid until
this day of modern improvements. When
the rocks and coal over which the waters
have rolled so many years, were laid bare,
and the coal discovered, the event of the
barge sinking had almost passed from the
memory Of men, and thus the story was
started.
