nois and shall have reached the banks
of the Father of Waters, ut or neal
the tri-cities of Davenport, Rock Isl
and and Moline.
And when, before the close of an
other quarter of a century, it shall
have reached this locality. which is
so rich in historical associations,
which is so dear to the hearts of TO-
| 600 residents of three cities, and which
is so keenly watched Bv thousands
who are looking for homes, the tri-
cities will be not only the center of
population of n commonwealth with
100, 600, 900 people, but likewise n
commercial. shipping and manufac-
turing center of the first magnitude
The Tri-Cities form even now n
railroad center second to none in the
west. From this center important
trunk lines. with mileages running
up into the thousands, penetrate the
boundiess west, southwest and north
west. The territory to the east like
wise lies within its reach. Other inn
portant lines of railroads are heading
its way. At its very door, reached
by railways and by water alike, lie
the great coal fields of the state of
Illinois, ready to yield up their treas
ure without limit. At its very door.
too. are the great Rock Island rapids,
over which the country's grandest
river sends its powerful current, I'M
harnessed, unimpeded. Priceless en-
ergies here still go to waste because
public enterprise has not as vet made
this great water power, which is sec
ond only to that of the falls of Mag
ara, of service to man.
Here. too, surrounded by the
three cities, is an island with broad
acres, the property of the govern
ment. Upon this island is located the
most important government arsenal
of the nation. Our government fully
realizes its good fortune in providing
ut a seasonable time navy sufficiently
strong to defend and to protect our
rights on any seas. When it shall
also realize, as it should even now,
that in times of war we must depend,
as VIC recently did, upon volunteer
citizen soldiers to aid our small stand
NO army; that these citizen soldiers
must be speedily equipped when an
emergency occurs; that there should
be in the heart of the republic, far re-
moved from dangers of attack from
foreign foes, great arsenal filled
with perfect machinery, in order that
an army of citizen mechanics may
quickly provide equipments for an
army of citizen soldiers; when the
country shall realize all this, then it
will also see the wisdom of having
chosen this most fitting place as the
site of its chief arsenal, and having
erected thereon the IL massive and
spacious buildings in which, during
the late war, even with the limited
provided in times of peace,
j. 600 men, night and day, were filling
the rush orders for equipments for
our army.

Canal an Important Factor.

nut Ine lHOSI iii IjoItiul IdCIOE III
the future development of this local
itv remains to be mentioned. Three
quarters of century ago there was
begun the construction of canal
which was to connect the $4,000
miles of navigable waters of the Mis-
sissippi river system with the lakes
and the ocean. That canal was COM
pleted half way across the state of
illinois prior to 1850. Thereafter
during nearly forty years. the people
of the west Iabored with congress to
induce that BODY to complete this
waterway to the Mississippi. Reason
NJ last prevailed. Congress finally
made the necessary appropriations.
The Illinois and Mississippi canal is
now being built. The tri-cities lie at
the western terminus of this canal.
The opening years of the new CEN
fury will witness its completion.
When the dreams of Madison, Web
ster, Lincoln. Seymour, Grant, Gar
field and many more of the greatest
statesmen of the nation, who in their
day favored the building OF this wa
terway. shall have been realized. and
it shall have been opened to public
traffic. the tri-cities will quickly take
their place in the front rank of the
great commercial centers OF the west.
There viii he gathered the products
of the west, the northwest and the
southwest for shipment to the lakes
and the seaboard. There, too, will be
collected the iron. salt, coal and other
heavy freights from the east for dis
tribution in the west.
Il see in my minds eve picture
of the tri-cities as they will appear
during the first quarter of the new
century. / see their river banks lined |
with docks at which the great barges |
which pass and repass the canal are
being loaded and unloaded. | see the !
smallest of our Mississippi river stern !
wheelers making unbroken trips to |
Chicago and return, towing long |
strings of these barges, laden east |
ward bound, with the products of the |
west. and westward bound with an |
equal tonnage of freight from the |
east. / see our government arsenal, |
the largest of our country, employing
thousands of men manufacturing /
every article needed by our army; ri
sec long trains of cars and long lines
of barges carrying coal from the mines
OF Illinois to the great factories that
have sprung up in the tri-cities. And
! see the great water power of the
IT this point developed
and long lines OF factories with thous-
ands of employees, extending for miles
along the river.
Many of Us may not live to see the
fulfillment of this vision We hope
for its realization. nevertheless 1t

choicest fruits of their own efforts
