HOPES FOR RESNEPIN.
A SeiRhborIng Exchange sets Forth
the Immense Benefits co he Derived
From the Proposed Canal.

From the Proposed Canal.
During the interval between last win
ter's session of congress and the present
one. says the Geneseo Republic. the
friends of the Hennepin canal have not
been idle. In waterway conventions
both north and south. its champions have
set forth its merits with good effect To-
day it is more fully recognized as meas
ure of national Importance than ever be>
fore. Even in the lower Mississippi val
ley its construction is now looked upon
with favor. 1t would seem to the close
observer of Its present standing that an
appropriation for 1t ought to be secured
from the present congress. Were the
merits of the measure alone to decide, it
certainly would get good appropriation
this winter, and we have strong hopes
that it win anyway. But to secure ii.
there must be constant vigilance and
labor on the part of its friends. Able
men should go to Washington aud stay
there, solely to further the project.
Every community in the northwest should
see to 1t that their representative in cons
gress is urged to do his utmost for it..
Every individual who thinks that letter
from him would have any influence,
should write to his Congressman. Chi
cego should for the time being bend its
energies toward the furihering of this
measure, regardless of the dissensions on
local questions that have heretofore
weakened its advocacy.
Important as other measures may be,
none of them have that vital interest to
the people of the northwest that the
canal does. Upon its success or failure
depends the settlement of the question of
cheap transportation for nearly one third
of the people of the country. And its
importance as purely government enter
prise, apart from any relief it may afford
lator ought to ignore it. Had it been
constructed twenty years ago, as it should
have been, it would have saved the gov>
eminent, in freight alone. on material
shipped to the Rock Island Arsenal. a
very large percentage of its cost. And
should any contingency arise whereby our
boundaries along the great lakes must be
placed in defensive condition there will
be no means of strengthing our lake
marine unlnea thia canal ia hrilf and an
avenue thus afforded our war vessels of
reaching the lakes There is every
reason in the world for urging the canal
measure strongly and great hope that it
will succeed. Delay and disappointment
has not discouraged its friends, and what
they need to do this winter is to present
a solid front and push their demands with
all the energy they are capable of.

GILPIN MOORE.
Interesting sketch OF Prominent
Manufacturer and Respected 9th

| zen.
| The Western Plo0naan of Moline, pub
fishes this week an interesting sketch OF
our respected citizen, ME- Gilpin Moore,
who has for many years been closely
identified with the firm of Deere & Co, of
Moline. We append the sketch:
Mr.. Moore is native of Chester coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, where his boyhood was
spent up TO the age of fourteen years,
| when he came to Rock Island, H., where
his father had preceded him seven years
Mr.. Moore learned the blacksmith
trade in his fathers shop. spending por
| ton of each year in school, until, at
eighteen years of age, he apprentlced
himself for three years in Rock Island
machine shop.
From his early years it was evident
that Mr.. Moore possessed inventive and
mechanical abilities in an unusual degree
and his three years apprenticeship so far
developed his abilities in this direction
that he was. at the end Of that time,
given entire charge of the shop. This
position he held up to 1864, and became
known throughout the vicinity as
workman of rare skill and inventive
genius.
In 1864 he became connected with
Deere 81 Co. in their pillow factory at
Moline, and became a stakeholder in the
concern when il was incorporated in
1868. He has since remained there as
superintendent OF their iron working de-
partment, q position which he still holds.
Mr. Moore's record has been the record
of Deere & Co. since his connection with
the concern. His name, or at least the
first half of it, has gone to the four cor
ners of the earth with the "Gilpin" Sulky
pillow, that most splendid of modern i'm
provements in pillow making,
Mr.. Moores inventions are not con-
fined entirely to plows. as his wide ex.
perience has given him a perfect under.
standing of the different departments of
mechanics. While turning his attention
principally to the evolution and develop
ment OF the perfect pillow. he has been con-
stantly on the alert for improvements in
the machinery for their production, and
a look through the immense pillow works
of Deere & Co. would show many i'm.
proved and labor saving machines for
making and forming the different parts of
those most necessary of farm implements.
and whose origin can be traced directly to
his most active and fertile brain.
Mr.. Moore's connection with Deere &
Co. for nearly twenty Ave years has been
of immense practical value to that colos-
sal concern. and to his inventive and
practical sense, as much as to any other
cause. is due the great success of their
manufactures In recent years. Now a
man of a little past middle age, he is still
evolving new improvements in the line of
manufacture In which he is especially in
teTested. and each year sees one or more
inventions patented by him. which go to
the building up of the business and the
benefit of all those who are fortunate
enough to possess some of the results of
his skill in the latest Improvements in
piows and cultivators turned out by
Deere & Co.
