Cleaning Up.

A large number of alleys have been
cleaned and put in good condition within
the last few days. The City Marshal is
doing everything pertaining to his office
necessary to keep things ship-shape We
suppose our citizens are also aware that
the principal responsibility now rests upon
the Street Supervisors, who have been APP
pointed Board of Health and given all
necessary instructions in relation to put
ting the city in good sanitary condition.
Probably no city in the West is now in SO
good a condition in that respect as Rock
Island. Mayor Davenport has vigilant
eye to that as well as all other public mar
tiers, and will see that every necessarsei-
fort is used to keep things in goodcondi'
ton.
The Rock Island daily Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1872-1873, 1873-07-01

Mayor Davenport is getting along splen-
didly with the Orleans street Improve
ment, Almost before our people are
aware of it he will have thestreet macad-
amized to the depot. and fine sidewalk
built the whole distanre. From Arsenal
street to the depot tie stone already coz
er the street, and are mostly broken md
ready for use. Tie grading for the dde-
walk, too, is nearly all done, and prt Of
the walk already laid down. In q very
short time@e expect to see fine macada-
mixed pad from Arsenal street to the de-
Dot, I'D fine sidewalk also. Mayor Dav-
env6rt is noted for accomplishing good
Ieal in a quiet way. He is:especially care
ful to keep the city out of all lawsuits if
possible. When the object cannot be at
tanned any other way, then he believes in
trying what virtue there is in courts. He
is accomplishing great deal for the inn
of the city this year and doing
it very quietly.

GOOD FOR ROCK ISLAND.
Now is the time for starting the Wholesale
Trade here

A merchant from COrdova, in our off &c
Monday, remarked that there ought now
to be some first class wholesale stores start
ed in Rock Island for the reason that un-
der the recent decision of the Railroad
and Warehouse Commissioners special
rates can be made for freight i'll large aud
given quantities to regular shippers and
that, as Rock Island was competing
point, such rates could be made for this
place as will enable merchants here to sell
goods as low as they can be sold in Chiea-
go. In his village, he says, they have but
one road and even if they wanted large
quantities (which they do mott they could
not get freights as low as Rock Island, be-
cause we have the advantage of several
roads and of the river
1t seems to us that there never was so
favorable a time for charging our whole
sale trade as now.
We have no doubt that the railroad com
panies intended to make the railroad law
AS obnoxious and Questionable as possible
but the Railroad and Warehouse Com
missioners have completely taken the wind
out of their sails and left them Tapping by
the side of the masts The advantage of
the law is, that the lowest rate made for
any one shipper must be made for all, for
like goods and like quantities and that in
stead Of the railroads being able to render
the law unpopular and bring about its re
peal next winter, the law will be more and
more popular, under the present ruling,
while the railroads viii be compelled to
treat all customers alike, under like cir

enough to raising roots for cattle, and
as l have had little experience in that

on two square rods of ground, in drills
two feet apart, and tended with hoe ;
and in the Fall l harvested from said
piece of ground, thirty bushels of bcets,
sixty pounds to the bushel. The same
year l sowed about one-eighth of an
acre of carrots, from which | obtainc ID
about forty-fve bushels.
In 1872, / sowed three-eighths Of an
acre to mangel wurzel, in drills three
feet apart, from which l obtained 19I
bushels. l also sowed threc-eighths of
an acre of carrots, in drills two feet
apart, and obtained 125 bushels The
carrots were more expensive in wedding
and digging, and returned less in pro
portion to the amount of land sown
than the mangel wurzel, but of little
better quality. l think mangel wurzel
the cheapest food for cattle than can be
grown, if we take the amount of land
used into consideration.
