IMPROV EMENTS.
Why Market Square Should be
Paved by ALI Means.
Extend EIsewhere-The street Rail-
ways New Line

The ARGUS did not submit its proof
sheets to the linton of its article on the
paving of Market square and that paper
is greatly offended The ARGUS has
renewed last years clamor for the pawn o
OF Market square" it says. aud con-
inues to say: The work if done at all
should begin on East and West Seven
teenth street at FirstAvenue, and be carried
to Third. At the same time Nineteenth
acd Sixteenth street should be paved from
First TO Third" etc. The ARGUS has no
objection to IS many ado itional paving
improvements as the Union eau add, and
will cordially contribute its support to
all such as are pricticsble. but why
attempt to push the improvement in one
direction By curtailing it in matter more
Important There is no part of the city
where the necessity of pavement is so
apparent as on Market square,
and while all our business streets
should be pavei. the most urgent
need. points to the business.
centre of the city. There is no reason
why all the streets running out from the
river between Sixteenth and Twentieth
should not be paved this season, as far as
Third avenue at least. The ARGUS would
like also to witness the paving of Third
avenue from Twelfth to Twenty-fourth.
and the projec is one Ii at we could very
well take into considers ZION, when cons
sidering the advancement to be made by
Rock Island in the line Of substantial i'm
provements the coming season. But
while We grow enthusias tic and hopeful
over the street improvement project. we
should not fail to recognize the localities
most important to receive attention first.
Market square should first have the atten>
ton of the council now. The others can
follow none too quickly.
The Union in the same spirit of mu-
lishness that leads it to sneer at the Mar
ket square improvement, opposes
the Ninth street extension of
the syndicate street railway system TO
Rock liver, because it would prefer, as it
says, TO see the syndicate purchase and
improve the old Milan street railway.
What wonderful change of faith has
come over the Union. to be sure? A few
months ago when Moline railway was
seeking rights in Rock Island that be.
longed to the syndicate the Union said
the more street railways the better. and
urged the council to grant conflicting
rights. Now that the syndicate. pursu-
iLg the iudepen dent course that has all
ways characterized it, is anxious to Sc
cure a route of its own to Rock river
over rights not already given TO any
other company, the Union rises to object,
and says it would be better to buy the
road already built. The Union does like
to be inconsistent, bo.h as to street i'm
provements and street railway extensions.

The census bulletin just issued on
church statistics puts the Salvation army
down as one of the religious "denomins>
tions." Just like the Methodists. Bsptists
and Presbytcrians. For comparatively
new denomination the Salvation army
makes good showing. 1t has 800 regu-
lar congregations, with churches OF halls
Cor worship. though the number of menu
beers is placed at only 5000 In Illinois
there are twenty-eight congregations with
a membership of 900. The army" does
not seem to care much for material invest
ments. as the total value of its property
in the whole country is placed at $37, 900.

control the rafting business on the upper

that the time can never come when the
pilots will force them to sell or retire from
business. tits predicted that within year
the above firms will own two-thirds of
