General Agent Berry Says Building Opera
tions VIII BE Begun as Soon as the Frost
Leaves the Ground In the Spring -Ex-
poets to Have the Road in Operations by
Jan. 1.
l.. F. Berry, general freight and
passenger agent of the Davenport,
Rock Island & Northwestern road,
called at THE ARGUS office today and
made the official announcement that
the frame structure his company has
at the foot of West Seventeenth street,
in this city, is intended only to be
used temporarily for freight purposes.
and that as soon as the frost leaves
the ground in the spring his company
will begin work on a brick passenger
station-a duplicate of the building
in Davenport-that will be credit to
the city of Rock Island.
I'VE are an entirely new set of fell
lows" said Mr.. Berry. I'VE have diff
ferent ideas than those held by the
officials of the Terminal company,
whom we succeed. We have come
here to do business with the people of
the three cities, and to satisfy them
as well in the matter of depot as in
| trans portation facilities"
1t has been the custom of
| railroads that where they once put
up building, they hold on to it as
t'gh' ly as they do to a track they once
get down, even though temporary in
| its nature, but it is hoped that in the
case of the D, r. i. & n. that it
will demonstrate that it has enough
pride in the city of Rock Island to
end the existence of the levee eye-sore
as soon as possible.
| Mr.. Berry stat, further that his
company has effected an arrangement
with the r. L. & p. for the use of it's
passenger depot on Twentieth street,
beginning the fist of the year, until
such time as it's own depot is
completed here. The trains will start
from Rock Island until the company
builds depot of its own in Moline,
which it hopes to be able to do in the
spring.
Rock Island Agent.
The Rock Island agent for the COM
pany has not been appointed yet.
There are several applicants for the
position, and selection will probably
be made next Tuesday.
Mr.. Berry said the officials of his
company are putting in their best
ticks in order to have the road in op-
Grafton by Jan. l. They expect TO
deliver tri-city passengers in Chicago
in five hours. and in less time than
that af'er the new road gets the kinks
out of it.
The company hiss adopted golden
rod yellow and olive green as it's
colors.
Mr.. Berry has conceived a novel
and original trade mark entitled the
"Tri-City Route

Burlington, has been appointed agent

Solicitor Should BE Encouraged In His
Canvass.
The way to insure a new theatre
for Rock Island is to attach your sig
nature to the ticket subscription list
that will be presented to you by
Promoter G II. Johnston's solicitor,
who will soon begin his canvass, with
the assistance of a committee ap-
pointed for the purpose by the Rock
Island Club, which has unanimousl.
Endorsed Mr.. Johnston's proposition.
If there is any one thing Rock Island
needs more than another it is mod
ern PLAYHOUSE, and doubtless citizens
will testify to this fact in generous
subscriptions for tickets for the open
ing performance. Whether we are to
have the building depends entirely on
the success of the canvass for the seat
