The Rock Island daily Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1872-1873, 1873-02-19

The first improvement made in this
vicinity by the whites was in 1916, when
the Z. S. Troops landed upon the Island
and at the lower end of it built Fort
Armstrong There were Indians in those
days and they had their opinion about
Improvements. Black Hawk was the
leading chief in those days. He was
rather opposed to modern improvements
and ON one occasion arose to explain:
which he did as follows
I'VE did not object however, to their
building the fort on the Island, but we
were very sorry, as this was the best Is
land in the Mississippi, and had long been
the resort Of our young people during the
summer. IL was our garden-like the
white people have their big villages
which supplied us with Strawberries,
blackberries plums, apples, and nuts of
various kinds; and its waters supplied us
with pure fish, being situated in the ra-
plds OF the. river. In my early life,
spent many happy days on this Island A
good spirit had care Of it, who lived in
cave in the rocks Immediately under the
place where the fort now stand. and has
often been seen by our people. He was
white with large wings like swans. but
ten times larger. We were paticnlar not
70 make much noise at that part of the
Island, which he inhabited, for fear Of dis
turping MN. But the noise of the Fort
has since driven him away, and no doubt a
paa spirit mas taken his place"

AT the close Of the fiscal year, next month
he will make final statement which vii

We think, however, that if the tax payer,
study this document closely they will fine
sufficient reasons for returning to the good
old economical days of DR.. Truesdale and
Bailey Davenport. In addition :; me n
s '1,..,enient OF the Clerk we have, from the
books in his Office, found few other fig
ures Of interest. For instance When
Murdoch came into office he found 81 go
% in cash in the treasury. The report of
the Clerk shows that the treasuryis empty
not a cent on hand. And it shows that
he has overdrawn his bank account
$2,7l6. 32-in debt to the bank
for that amount When Murdoch
came into Office the city owed, in
city orders, $6G,GO4.o2. The city
now owes,in city orders, 800, 725. 80. When
Murdoch came into Office the entire debt
of the city was only Sll2.4O7.57. 1t is

THE Best and Cheapest Eael in America.

There are a great man hotels in this
country whose proprietor, with a sense of

travelling correspondent whose peram-
bulatiOns extend through every quarter Of

Broadway. that certainly is the largest

above title for his hou,a. The Grand
Central Hotel, on Broadway, upon which
has been lavished nearly two million,
ls2,000,000l Of dollars, is that hotel. Its
proprietor, II. L. Powers, judiciously di--
eliminates between the upper and lowe.
floors, fixing the prices at $500 $3.50 and
$500 per day, according To location. The
Grand Central is the only hotel we know
