A compromise has been effected, as we
are reliably informed, between the rival
packet lines, and the boats will run the
same as last season, with this exception.
Passenger packets will be run as such, on
time, and make landings only for passen-
gers, and stop only so long as compelled at
landings. Freight boats will be put on in
suffic numbers to handle all the freight,
which will not be touched by passenger
boats unless ahead of time. The idea OF
running in this manner will be alike agree
able to shippers and travellers A gaining
of 30 hours in time will be made between
this point and St. Louis, and almost double
that time between St. Peul and this place,
on passenger boats.
Mr.. Jarvis, the Northern Line agent at
at this point, has been appointed agent for
the Hannibal & St. Joe railroad, position

was made by Mr.. c. W. Boardman, Gen.

The Board of Trade of Peoria have
published pamphlet setting forth the con-
dition of that city, its increase in wealth,
manufacturing, trade and population from
1850 to 1870, giving some very valuable
statistics and information, which if properly
distributed, will DO that city an immense
amount of good in bringing it's advantages
to the attention of those seeking favorable
location 10 the West for homes or for the in
vestment of capital We have adopted tbs
plan as far as our individual means would
allow in bringing the attention of eastern
meH and home and foreign capitalists to the
superior advantages of Rock Island in the
way of manufacturing, trade, etc. To do
this we compiled our manufacturing Stats
tics and published them in the form of an
extra, and have distributed them by the
thousands. We have found that the idea
was good one, as on o recent trip through
the Eastern and Middle States, we found
many parties preserving these copies of the
ARGUS and wanting more of them, and we
are daily in receipt of letters from parties
asking information. This work, to be prop
erly done, should embrace subjects entirely
too voluminous for the columns of news
paper, and too extensive for one firm to un
dertake. 1t belongs to our Board of Trade,
who should do rs Peoria hes done. The
large interest located here should assist the
mem bers of the Board Of Trade in this
work. If Peoria can do it, Rock Island,
Moline and Camden certainly can. Much
has been done in this direction already, and
we can now see some Of the substantial
fruits Of the work in the new enterprises
that have been started in the last twelve
months. These are but the beginning, the
mere indications Of what the future will be
if the people but work in conjunction with
the Board of Trade. Mr.. Dart, the Presi.
dent of that body, we know to be in sympa.
thy with all movements of this kind, and
we furthermore know that no man in the
city Is willing to do more to advance the
interests Of this section than he. Unity of
action will secure even greater results than
has ever been attended in the past, and we
ask the Board of Trade to consider the
matter, at the same time assuring them of
all the assistance we can give in obtaining
such facts and particulars 90 they may
desire.
