WOULD BENEFIT ALL
Highway Across Bottoms Con.
Meeting City With Lower
End of County.
SUGGESTION ARoUsEs INTEREST
Organization Of Forces All That
is Necessary to Garry it
: shHz Through.

The action of The ARGUS a few
weeks ago in reviewing the question
of road across the bottoms to con-
meet Rock Island with the lower end
Of the county aroused much favorable
comment among the business men of
The city. 1t is needless to say that
the inhabitants of the lower end,
as well as those of Il por-
ton of Mercer county, are heartily in
favor of the proposition. and an or
ganization Of forces is the only re-
1uirement necessary to - 'le it a
60"
This proposition. as is generally
known, is the building OF a road
above high water line from the lower
end of the city. crossing Rock river
near the mouth. and connecting with
the Andalusia road about a mile east
of the west line of Black Hawk town
ship. The road would be about four
miles in length. and three bridges
would be necessary for Rock river,
the Hennepin canal and Live slough.
The entire course would lie through
waste land, and in places it would be
bCOCoodi y ~ put VIZ AOoA SAA VA
eight feet above the surface.
Land Values Would Rise.
In the neigh borhood of 1000 acres
Of the most fertile land in the county
and lying right At the city limits
would be partially reclaimed from
overflow. and by the state laws now
In force, this could be organized into
n 6roinann HiSfriof on6 to IN
in its valuation weuld go long way
toward defraying the expenses of the
Improvement.
The mutual advantages that both
the city and the lower end of the
county would derive from the road
can scarcely be overestimaIed. They
would be brought four miles closer
together. and the limits of the coun-
try supplied by Rock Island markets
would be extended four miles further
west and south. Land values in that
direction would rise. a permanent
road, Passable at all times of the
year, would be an accom- plished fact.
Dirt to bald the bed of the road
would have to be brought from the
hills. and the cheapest way to trans
port. of course, would be by rail-
Peoria to Cut Grade.
Next year. it is understood, the
Peoria railway contemplates cutting
the grade on the Mercer county
branch at several points and will have
considerable dirt to dispose of. This
road passes within quarter of a mile
from the point where the south end
of the proposed road would be located
and the building of stub track would
be very simple matter. The bottom
is covered with soft wood, from which
temporary trestle work could be
cheaply built across the low places.
For the fill on this side of Rock river
the dirt could be hauled across the
bridges at Milan and dumped from an
other stub track connecting at the
lower end of the city.
The entire county is inter ested in
such an improvement. for it will lead
to similar enterprises elsewhere and
a system of good country roads is
every year growing to be more and
more of necessity.

The announcement by the manage

would agitate the formation of an s.
club association for next season, has
met with general favor among Rock

campaign interest shall have subsid-

time to give to the national sport
Despite the general belief among base
ball authorities that cities in the mi
nor leagues would be doing well If
they came out even this season, on &C.
count of it being campaign year,
Bloomington quits considerably ahead
of the game. She has enough laid by
to begin another season in first-class
