THE CANAL ROUTE.
Capt. Marshall Makes a Flying
Visit.
His Views as to What Will Next be
Done-Dirt to Fly This
summer.

Capt. Marshall. in charge of the canal
surveys and construction, was in the city
today in company with Hon. j 81. MUIR
ply, of Davenport. He was merely here
on flying trip, and after inspecting the
work so far as it has progressed will re-
turn to Chicago this evening. An ARGUS
reporter had few moments con-
versation with tie captain on the
route adopted and in reply to a query
as to its permanencY, he said:
THE most feasible of the routes lead
ing to the mouth of Rock river has been
adopted, and as far as l am capable of
Judging, will not be changed. TIE loca-
ton was made with the best interests of
the government alone in mind, and based
upon the results of the engineers work.
1t will save the government at least SS2.-
900, and that is quite an item"
When asked what the next step would
probably be, Capt Marshall said the con-
domination and purchase of the necessary
land would lie the next proceeding. 1t
would also be necessary to arrange as TO
draw bridge oyer the r. & P tracks as
well as for several highways crossing the
canal Dirt will fly on the canal late
this Summer" he said in reply to fur
Their question about the time active oper-
atoms would begin; and think by the
time the next congress meets we will
have spent all our money. and will be
ready for million and half more at
least"

crawford Once More.

Hon. w. F. Crawford. Rock Islands
famous state senator, arrived home from
Springfield this morning for Sunday So
iourn with his family. The members of
the stock yards sub committee desired to
have Crawford grace them with his pres
ence among them in Chicago today, but
the Rock Island statesman could not
comply, and he therefore voted against
the committees going. He, however,
found himself in the minority, ard the
committee with great reluctance, no
doubt, was obliged to go without him. as
the following Springfield telegram to too
days Chicago Herald would indicate:
That stock yards sub committee of the
senate agricultural committee met today
and determined to go Chicago to visit
the Union stock yards Saturday morning.
Rock Island Crawford voted against it,
He said he would enjoy trip of the sort.
but owing to poor health and domestic re,
quirements he must refrain from all such
indulgences. The meeting was discover
ed by chance in a peculiar way. Presi-
dent Ray asked Senator Humphrey to pre-.
side. When he returned he saw Sena-
tors Reayill, Mahoney and Rock Island
Crawford on the settee behind the presi-
dents chair holding q hurried consulta-
ton with Senator Humphrey between his
| senate rulings.

TIE NEW MOTIVE POWER.
Details Being Rapidly Perfected for
the Introduction of the Electric


The work of putting the finishing
touches to everything about the electric
power station was done this week.
The last engine was set in place yester>
day afternoon, ard the connections are
being made today so that it is expected by
those in charge that the engine will be in
running order this evening. 1t is
smaller than any of the other engines and
is designated by the engineers as Jumbo"
All that is now delaying the running of
the cars is some electrical fixtures which
are daily expected, and as soon as they
arrive the trial trip will be made. En-
gineer Reed, who is in the employ of the
manufacturers of the engines, and is here
experimenting the setting up and getting
them in running order. has almost fin
thing will move along nicely when once
they are started.
At the car barns on Moline avenue the
work of putting the cars in their respec-
tive positions to facilitate their handling
Is being done. aud pits are being dug
under four of the tracks in the barns
for convenience In examining the cars.
the idea being to examine each car thor
oughly when it runs in at night. The
trolleys have been put on car 10. of the
Elm street line, and car 80 of the Blue
line, those cars now being in readiness
for operation.
large number of men were employed
this morning in putting in new curve
at the corner of Elm street and Seventh
avenue, which will complete the equip>
thought the trial trip will be made.
1t is now confidently expected that a
car will be started early in the week and
indeed 1t would not be surprising if car
was started at almost anytime.
The syndicate having received the
governmental permission to lay the
ground wire across the island causewsy,
will begin it in few days. A force of
IA men, under charge of e. B. Brennan,
all in the employ of the Western Union
telegraph company, arrived at the Rock
Island house yesterday and are engaged
in striuging the telegraph wires over the
new tower. Managing Director Louder
back arranged with the telegraph men
with regard to thu syndicate power wire.
