e. Gates and John Lam bert. president
and vice president respectively of the
Davenport, Rock Island g. Northwest
ern.
the extension from East Moline to
Peoria will not be started before
spring. The new line will be a strong
competitor for grain traffic between
the east and west, delivering the bust
ness to the eastbound lines in Peoria.
Its competition will be felt most Sc
verelv, probably. by the Indiana, Illi-
nois & Iowa than any other line,
though the Iowa Central will also be
hit by the new conner. "
GaIesburg May Lose out.
According to the RepublicanRegis-
ter of that city, it is still doubtful
whether the D.. K. l. & n. w. will
pass through Galesburg. The propo-
sition of the company now is that if
the city wants the line it should be
willing to do something to secure it.
ut is learned from an authoritative
source that President Gates has never
said the road would be constructed to
Galesburg." continues the Republi-
company is discussing the feasibility
of one of two lines. One of these is
the line through lesburg and the
other is an air line that will pass 20
miles east of here. 1t is economy for
the company to build the air line.
which is 20 miles shorter than would
be the one coming here. 1t is given
out officially that the new line is to
give an outlet for the Lake Erie &
Western and the Big Four. Conse-
quently the question of short and
direct line is one of Importance to the
company. This is the precise situa-
ton. A policy of Indifference aud
inattsntion means that the road will
not come here. 1t is for the business
men to act. The officials of the COM
pany should be invited to attend
meeting of the business men here and
be asked to state exactly what they
want and what they propose to do"
