GREATLY NEEDED.
The New ThOrOughfare Between
the Two Cities.
,vs,eb shall it be, sixth or venth
ay.uuee-The Improvement of
One or the other Much of
Necessity.

One of the most important acts Of the
Rock Island Citizens Improvement asso>
Grafton at its last meeting was the fixing
az the spe cial object of discussion before
the next meeting of the association-the
liz, prcyement of thoroughfare between
| Rock Island and Moline, through ave.
nue for travel apart from those traversed
BIZ street cars or closely paralleling the
right of ways of steam engines. That
such an avenue is needed is conceded by
both cities, the idea in fact that it should
be provided being first presented by
representative citizens of Moline at the
time of the consolidation meetings two
wears ago. The question now is which
avenue shall be improved. Sixth or
SEVENTH
why don't you talk Sixth avenue.
said an ex-alderman in talking on the
project with an ARGUS reporter the other
dsy. THAT would only require the OPP
ening of few blocks and then you have
ner rlSnt lnTOuSu.
Seventh aven ne ought to be opened
and that pretty soou." said another citi-
zen who rides about a good deal, this
morning. Il have reference to that part OF
it between Thirtieth and Thirty,eighth.
Beyond Thirtieth street tits practically inn
psssable, and if it is not improved ssoon,
we will have no way Of driving between
| the two cities while Moline avenue is
torn up for paving east of Tive nty>sixtt
| street."
There are various plans on foot for the
putting in of this missing link between
the two cities. Seventh avenue seems
| to offer the best solution of the difficulty
and there are numerous opinions as &c
how best this can be done. One is to pu
it ia temporary condition east of Thir'
tieth, and then prepare it for boulevard'
ing, and possibly paving with a single
course of brick next year. the most pop
ular idea being to boulevard it on eithe
side as far as Thirty eighth and boulevard
it in the center or car track space from
that street east.
In view of the rapidly approachin!
need of new avenue TO Moline, perhaps
it might be well that action be taker
sooner than was originally intended.

Schni,ger, in whose employ old Joe h ad

Nevertheless, however, Henry realized
it was for the best that it should be So,

JOINT WORLDS FAIR
BUILDING.

~
Michigan aud Wisconsin unite in the con
struction Of building at the worlds TAI.
adequate to the exhibits Of the state.
named and at the same tune be Of a sufi
GENTLY pretenti0us and ornate character as
TO not look insignificant among the mar
velous architectural piles which will grace
the exhibition grounds.
The common sense Of the plan Is al
once apparent A single state, unless it
spends an ~extravagant amount of money,
cannot hope to erect a state building
worthy Of much consideration 10 such an
exhibition. II this is true Of Ohio and
Indiana 1t is a hundred fold more true Of
such new states as Wyoming and Idaho.
As We are informed tie world fair com
~missioners from this state expect 10 con
struct a building for Wyoming on the
grounds in Chicago. They have alto
gelher at theiE disposal $4,000 OF this
amount they expect to spend $1,000 in
the construction Of a state building.
Whilst tbs IS probably all the state can
afford to expand for the luxury we are in
clined to doubt that the result will be al
together satisfactory. WyominR's little
building will be very Insignificant not
only in comparison with the various ex-
hibition buildings but such buildings as
may be constructed by some Of
the Weather states. Unlcss something
entirely unique can be secured would it
not be wiser to form a combination, say
with the Rocky Mountain states, and
share the expense Of constructing a build
ing which would not only advertise this
particular region but reflect credit upon
every state concerned in the enterprise.
Ii should not be forgotten that the build
inRs composing the exhibition will be con-
Quoted on a scale Of great m~agnIfccncc.
A state building which alone might seem
extremely handsome and appropriate,
when brought into comparison ns it would
be at the worlds far. would seem rela-
lively 50 insignificant As to do the state
more harm than good IN the way OF pro
claiming its wealth and advertising its
resources. Wyoming'a Sll 900 building,
while it would undoubtedly be the best oh.
tainable for the money, We fear would az
ter all come under this category.
Suppose hat Wyoming, Colorado,
Montana, Idaho aud Utah should form
a combination through their worlds fair
commissioners and hat these men should
agree among themselves as to the extent
aud character OF a building worthy Of
these states. It's cost and the proportion
which each should bear. would not this in
the long run be more satisfactory to all
concerned than TO construct FIVE individual
state buildings which, with 20 many
marvellous things 10 see, might not be
worthy Of more than a passing glance
from the visitors who had come to see the
sights and be instructed 10y them,
We wish 10 bring the matter to the
attention Of the Wyoming worlds fair
commissioners. We believe it Is capable
of a practical solution and hone il will
receive their earnest consideration.

These springs arc randy becoming IA
nous on account of the wonderful cura-
tive properties OF the waters, aud the
many marvellous cures which have been
effected by the thermal baths.
The town and springs are delightfully."-
situated IN a picturesque valley in the
Black Hills country, Astounding in bead
tiiul scenic effects and at an altitude of
3,4OO feet above the sea level; thus insur-
ing a pure atmosphere and exhIlaratIng
climate, absolutely free from malaria.
Under the enterprising and progressive
management Of the Hot Springs company
many desirable improvements have been
made; among the number the erection Of
a cOmmOdious bath house fitted up with
all modern cOnveniences for the comfort
of guests. New hotels have been built
and comfortably furnished throughout,
conducted in first-class style and at rea-
sonable rates. Those who prefer stopping
at a private house will find many board
ing places where good accommodations
are furnished, and at moderate prices.
The superior daily service now afforded
by the Burlington route to Hot Springs,
with through sleeping car accommoda-
tons from Omaha, Lincoln, Aurora and
Grand Island, makes the trip an easy and
enjoyable one; ard for the benefit of all
