Afternoon Mail Contract From
Rock Island.
LATTER COMPANY WILL FIGHT.

c.. K. L. 3 p. Loses No Money the Re-
suit of the Change. But the New Roads
Victory Is the Beginning of the War
fare That is to Be waEed On the Old
Lines.
The D., r. I. & n. W., in conjunc-
ton with the Northwestern road, has
beaten the c., r. l. & P. railroad out of
its mail contract with the govern
ment for the carrying of the mail be-
tween Chicago and the tri-cities.
The first mail arrived here over
the new road Sunday afternoon, it
being possible to save 40 minutes on
the trip by the change. This is what
the government is looking for, as it
is an unyielding law of the depart
ment that mail shall be carried over
the roads which can make the fastest
time between given points. The con-
junction of the new road with the
Northwestern has made it possible to
beat the Rock Island into Davenport
almost an hour.
Rock Island Loses No Money.
The Rock Island is chagrined; the
new road is jubilant. The Rock ISL
and loses no money by the new plan,
for its contract with the government
is made for another year. Then. too,
the mail handled out of Chicago for
this point on the train which leaves
there in the morning at o'clock is
not the heavy mail of the day. The
new road will not make any money
out of the contract for year to come,
as its mail contract is already made,
but when another letting of the mail
contracts is made, there promises to
be a shake up which will drop few
plums in the lap of the D., r. 1. &
n. w
Inquiry develops the fact that the
c.. r. l. Il p. is ready to contest the
claims of the new road. and will fight
the issue to a staudstill.
Late this afternoon information
came through an official of the Rock
Island road that the Northwestern
and D., r. l. & n. w. were carrying
the afternoon mail to the tri-cities
