LET ROCK ISLAND SPEAK
Davenport is up In arms over the
locating of the c., r. I, & P shops else
where. In the city council of Des Moin,
es. resolution was introduced last week
calling for the appointment of commits
tee to confer with the management of the
c., R. l. & P. railroad, and ascertain, if
possible, what does Des Moines need to
do to receive the new shops which the
company designs to build. The Dem2>
crat, alive to the interests of the CITY it
represents, says:
The city of Davenport can't afford this.
neither can it get something for moth
ing, where other places are presenting
inducements for the something. This is
the best location on its lines for the G.,
r. |. ?. shop'. Here is the river on
which is brought nearly all the hard wood
used in car building, aud this. too. is the
hNoiSnt PihSO Ut ~" VI n -iCtt uChE VI
the other materials used in the shops
Here are all the water ccnveniencies re
Quired-snd here concentrate the lines
from Council Bluffs. Kansas City, St.
Joe and Atkinson. and ST. Paul. Des
MolGes is greedy for these shops-Daven-
port must be greedy. too. Let the city
council and the Advance club take hold
OF this matter very soon. or it may be too
late
While Davenport and Des Moines are
fighting over the location of these shops,
Rock Island to whom they rigitfuIly be-
long, should slip i'll and get them. This
city rather than Davenport is headquarters
of the divisions of the road The freight
divisions all terminate here, as do many of
the passenger divisions. and all that Dav
export has, is the headquarters of the
passenger trains generally. Rock Islaal
has every advantage desirable-propcrty
abundsutly AMI conveniently SUITED for
the shops, plenty of fuel aud cheaper
than anywhere else. Rock Island has
claims on the c.. R. l. & P. road which
should be urged and every effort made by
our citizens to secure for the city the
location of the shops. We deserve
hem, desire them and should have
them
