Anxt, u< to Build a stub TO sylvan
Island and the West End Fac
tories.
1t is rumored that the Chicago. Bur-
lington s. Q iincy railroad company is
making another effort TO get a stub
through from its main track north to
Sylvan Island. 1t will be remembered
that they were prevented from doing so a
year or so ago by the interference of
property owners on First street, Moline,
who did not wish to see their residences
rendered, IS they held, practically worth>
less by track running within few feet
OF their doors, even though the Moline
city council had granted the right of way
The exciting episode is well RENE
how women. girls and children Joined in
the opposition and assisted by the
Rock Island officers succeeded in
frustrating an attempt of the railroad
gang to lay the track during the
night Since then the Burlington
has seemingly abandoned its enters
prise, but it has not been idle by any
means. The company is now seeking to
get across the tail race by another route,
but whether they will do so remains to
be seen. The Water Power company
could give them right of way easily
enough, and one would think it would
be to their interest to do so, but it is uns
derstood that they do not wish to have
any of their lsud spoiled for residence
sites. The Republican says;
As il is now the c., r | & p. has
things all its own way in the west end
The c R. |. & P does all the switching
botn for itself and the Q and charges the
latter dollar for every Q Car it switch
es. The c.. r. l. & P. is quite i1depeud
ent. too, about promptpess in moving
G, B & Q. cars. The result is quite
detrimental. especially to the Molinc Ice
company's and Mr.. Schlueter'5 business.
The Q because of the switching fee.
makes the same rate between Moline and
St. Louis that it does between Savanna
or Dubuque and ST. Louis. As the Q.
hauls overfiVe-sixths of the ice and stone
hat leaves Sylvan Island, it is plain
TO be seen that Moline industry is the
loser by this deal. There are about
$4,000 tons of ice on Sylvan Island, and
at least IS 600 tons of this will be shipped
south via the C, B. & @, the coming
summer. Now what is wanted is Il rail
road bridge over the t9ilrace so that cars
can be loaded at the houses on the island
instead of the ice being conveyed across
the wagon bridge by teams as is now
done, involving considerable time and
expense that places Moline at a disad-
vantage with competing points. 1t is
learned that if the Q. folks can get { right
of way to the tailrace they will endeavor
to get permission TO build this bridge,
and it is not improbable that if they sue
coed in doing this they may ultima tely
be permitted to cross to the arsenal.

Erastus wyman Thinks Reciprocity With
Canada the Proper Caper.
New YORK, Dec. IL. - Before the
Union League club, Brooklyn, Erastus
Wyman maintained that a political
union with Canada was at present un-
desirable and impossible. A CONNER
cial or reciprocal union was within
easy grasp, and was an absolute essen
tial as condition of preparation
should political alliance ever be con-
templated. At best annexation would
take from quarter TO half a century,
while reciprocity, with concurrent
legislation, could be had at an early
date. The free admission of American
manufactures into the greater half of
the continent and discrimination
against the manufactures of Great
Britain, il adopted by the parliament
of Canada, would be an indication OF
good will toward the United States,
greater than which could not be de.
manded. 1t could also supply fiscal
freedom from interference from abroad
that would be long step toward prac
tical independence. and a market af
forded for free raw material in the
United States would result in pros
perity for the greater half of the cont.
nent enormously beneficial to the
United States
