IoLD Settlers REUNION.
Closing Exercises of Sesterday-s Meeting
1 in Moline.

Closing Exercises of Testerday-s Meeting
in Moline
Yesterday afternoon at the old set
tiers reunion in Moline a committee
composed of j. H CleIand and Capt.
j. NJ Beardsley. of Rock Island, A.
NJ. Hubbard. of Moline Fred Osborn.
of Zuma and j. 5. Bruner, of Illinois
City. was appointed to arrange for
the placing of memorial tablet in
the court house.
Secretary Cleland presented the
cane to the association 5 new chair
man, j. L. Bean, who thereupon de-
livered his inaugural address The
speaker of the day. w. j. Entrikin,
of Moline, was then introduced, and
gave Il talk full of historical interest
to his listeners, reviewing the history
of the county from aboriginal times
to the present day, and telling of the
accomplishments of many of those
who came here in the early days
toward its upbuilding. He said Col
George Davenport was probably the
first settler. as he first came to the
island of Rock Island in the spring of
1916. and lived there until he was
murdered on the Fourth of July, 1S45.
He was an Indian trader before the
lands were opened to settlement and
might be called the connecting link
between the Indians and the old set
tiers. Among the first lands to he
entered after the county was opened
to settlers by the sale of the
lands in 1929, was the land
on which Black Hawks wigwam
stood, which was bought by Rinnah.
Wells. This farm was at the west
foot of Black Hawks Watch Tower.
He was one of the kind that would
''have peace if he had to fight for it. -
In conclusion Mr.. Entrikin said:
1.-The old settlers faithfully laid the
sure and strong upon
which the present and to come more
glorious temple shall always securely
rest. They were the men and were
chosen by God to establish an ever
lasting peace in this land. where the
great tribesmen and warriors. Keo-
kuk and Black Hawk, had failed. Let
us all sit with uncovered heads while
in silent memory We contemplate the
glorious deeds performed by the old
settlers of Rock Island county"
The meeting was concluded at 6
o'clock with the singing of ''Auld
Lang SVne.'

GUESSING ON THE FUTURE
cixth Regiment Mae he Detained In
definitely in Porto Rico.


| Mvron Jordan, in a letter to the
Moline epublican-Journal, expresses
the opinion that the 9th regiment, in
cluding the Rock Island boys, viii he
detained indefinitely in Porto Rico.
He saws:
What are the future plans of the
Porto Rican campaign is matter on
which many are guessing. The
equipment of our brigade with new
and powerful arms would seem to in
dicate continuation of operations or
our being detained here indefinitely
for garrison duty.
The official report of absent en-
listed men for July shows IL mem

Col. Foster and Lieut.. ShOwalter,

were not absent from camp. This
showing in Il regiment of 1,320 men
is far from disharteRin9, especially as
most of the sick are doing well. But
three deaths have occurred in the
Regiment since it was modified at
Springfield, April -26: DR.. Cole, as
sistant surgeon; Private Bledsoe, of
Company A, and Private Alfred
Oberg, of Company f. A mortality
rate as small as this would hard
ly seem probable in body of like

then it must he remembered that sol

C. W. B0WKER & CO.,
Commission Merchants, Room 3, No. 2f
Warrington Square.

Worcester is the natural distributing
centre for a large part of the state.
Railroad men who have looked over
the field have unhesitatingly declared
that this city, by reason of it's advan-
tageous location, ought to be the mar
ket for the entire territory comprised
within a radius of one hundred miles.
In the early days of railroad building
this fact was not realized by the pro
iectors of the roads, or if it was diu
not receive sufficient consideration at
their hands, and the result has been
that other cities have succeeded in cap
turing a very large share of trade that
under more favorable circumstances
would have come to and been retained
by Worcester The enterprise and en-
erey of the business men of the present
day are doing much to remedy the
mistakes of the past and to secure for
this city that share of the distributing
trade of the state, to which our adVant-
ageous location and the excellence Of
our facilities entities us. No house is
dGsng a better work in this direction
than that conducted by c. w. Bowker
& Co. who are commission merchants
and wholesale dealers in baled hay and
straw by the car. The business was
started in 1873. During the last eight
years Mr.. Bowlxer has carried on the
business. and has through the inter-
vening years occupied front rank in
this line of commercial activity Mr..
Bowker buys and ships direct to Gus
toners, doing exclusively a wholesale
business, the trade covering a radius

WACHUSETT CREAMERY Co.
6-s-IO Lincoln Street.

The commercial Importance Of n
great city like Worcester is made mani
rest IN practical way through the
energy and enterprise exercised by the
merchants in the distribution of the
various products that are denomlnated
STOCK IN trade and there is no more
necessary line than that which is de-
voted to the handling of creamery. and
dairy products. The Wachusett Cream
cry Co, whose establishment is at Nos
g, and 10 Lincoln street, makes a
speciality of handling cream, butter and
milk. The business methods of the
company are of nature to enlist the
confidence and increase patronage of
customers. In these days of adultera-
tion, to be able to secure butter, cream
and milk that are absolutely pure Is
certainly a feature of which our house
wives and mothers should certainly
take advantage, and the Wachusett
Creamery Co. place their goods at the
| disposal of all and at prices not to be
considered when quality is an object.
| They are in touch with the dairies at
| Grafton and North Grafton, securing
all their milk and cream from them
This company's product has come to
fill an important gap in the dairy and
creamery line, and their popularity and
eVer-increasing patronage are therefore
readily accounted for. A speciality is
made of Wachusett Pasteurized
cream, this being boiled and cooled as
quickly as possible, making it free
from all impurities and enabling users
to keep it several days without losing
its sweetness. This cream can be Sc
cured every day, all other products be-
ing also placed on sale daily. This is
the largest creamery in the city the
company handling about 100 cans Of
milk, so quarts of PasteuriZed cream
and 20 cans of cream for ice cream, be-
sides hundreds of pounds of butter.
daily. They also have creameries In
West Berlin, East Roxbury and West
Brookfeld where they do quite an ex-
tensive business. handling large GUAM
titles OF their different lines. The busi-
ness was started about Is years ago
and was then called the Wachusett
Milk Co, running thus until 1895, when
the present company was formed, the
officers being Mrs. e. H. Thayer, presi-
dent, and e. H. Thayer, treasurer and
general manager. The continued sue
cess of the company is assured, for
under their careful management and
up-to-date business methods, the trade
continues to increase from year to
year, while their reputation for reli-
ability and progressiveness is too well
known to need comment from The
Spy.
