are from Dayton. o.. and are beauties

appears on the surface. In the first
place it is thought to be the property OF
the Northwestern system and there Is q
rumor to the effect that it will be ex-
tended south from Rock Island to the
gulf, forming an outlet for grain from
the northern wheat fields and providing
means of bringing coal north from the
fields of Illinois. Along the line of the
new road between this city and Daven-
port are the towns of Princeton and LIE
Claire, which have never had a railroad
notwithstanding the fact that they are
the Oldest towns along the river.
