THREE-DAY PICNIC
MAY Be HELD HERE
Big Event Planned BY Woodmen
of 7 enth District Assoc
citation.
ELABORATE FEATURES PROPOSED
Carrying Out of Scheme Depends
Upon Spirit With Which Fi-
nance Committee is Met.

A joint meeting of the officers OF
the general Woodmen picnic commit
tee and the subcommittee on trans.
portation and finance was held at the
head office last evening.
The finance sub committee reported
a plan for 3-days' session to be held
in the latter part of August instead
of in June as in the past. This re-
ceived the Endorsement of those pres
emit and assurance was given that the
general features will be approved by
the general committee.
The General Features.
The general features as proposed
include elaborate street features,
centering at Market square, where q
worlds congress of wonders will be
held. The first day the special fea-
lures include big bicycle race. COM
petitive drill by Woodmen foresters'
teams. and fireworks on the river
front at night. The second day will
be marked by a grand parade of civic

mated industrial parade at night.
The third days program contains a
bicycle parade in costumes in the
morning, band contest in the after
noon, and grand river carnival at
night. All the main attractions. are

The transportation committee re-
ported that the question of railroad
rates would probably have to be
brought before the officers of the West
ern Passenger association and asked
for further time.
The Conditions
OF course, the carrying out of the
plans as outlined depends entirely
upon the spirit with which the finance
committee is met in it's canvass for
funds. 1t is the intention of that
body to take no sponsibilities and
assume no liabilities unless it is as
sured of sound backing both morally
and financially. A canvass among
the business men of the city was tax /
up today.

surveying parties in the field, one
near Richland. working on the tenn
porary survey, one near the Iowa
river. also on temporary survey, and
one near Muscatine working on per-
manent survey. The only serious
difficulty on tie route through this
city is in getting up the bluffs at Mus
catine without exceeding the maximum
grade on west bound lines, 4c feet to
the mile. This has been overcome by
skirting the edge of the bluff for
several miles and gradually rising to
the top"

MAIL RUN CHANGE:
DAVENPORT'S NEW MOVE

The Davenport Times. in not
unnatural spirit of devotion to
its own town, has stirre1 up
a movement to have the railway
postal clerk division head quar-
ters on the Rock Island and St
Louis division of the Burlington road
transferred from this city to the Iowa
side. 1t SAYS: 1.-The officials of the
Davenport office are nothing if not
progressive and am bilious to make
the service from this city the very
best that can be had anywhere. For
some time, on account of the fact that
registered letters cannot be dispatched
from city except on postal car, the
letters of that character that 60 to St.
via Chicago and thus 4S hours
are required. To avoid this the de-
partment has been asked to extend the
st. Louis to Rock Island run TO Dav-
export and make this city the ter
minus en- the CO for the railway
mail service to the Missouri me-
tropolis.
''The people of the city are taking
hold of the work of pushing for the
Lacrosse to Davenport mail route
over the Milwaukee railway line via
Clinton, as was advocated in the
Times of last week. Today Joe l..
Hebert, of the Davenport Business
Mems association, is circulating a pc
tition addressed to the postmaster
and the postal department, asking
that the route be extended from Du-
buque to Davenport. Now the route
ends at Dubuque. The mail coming
to Davenport has to be sent by ex-
press from Dubuque to Savanna,
thence over the Illinois line of the
Milwaukee road TO Rock Island, where
it is pouched again and transferred
to Davenport. This route is slow and
unsatisfactory. The business men
who draw on the great northwest for
business desire more rapid means
of communication with Minneapolis
and st. Paul, and thus get it by way
of Lacrosse"

IL always like to see a girl and

that l mean chummY, advisory

a girl is likely to be level headed.
