MILWAUKEE is ACTIVE.
Cut off to Kansas City Scene of Great
Activity,

Cut off to Kansas City Scene Of Great
Activity.
Davenport, Nov. 6.--The Muscatine
county end of the Milwaukee's new cut
off line to Kansas City is the scene OF
great activity these days. Men and ma
chimes are moving the earth there in
large quantities The work is being di-
rected by men who are masters of the
art OF handling large forces in this busi-
ness. and the employees are reinforced
by steam shovels, railroad tracks and
trains, and other approved appliances
for rapid excavation, SO that the opera
tons are proceeding in the most rapid
and effective manner.
The work from the point, where the
road branches off from the Rock Island
lire up to the old creamery, is practical
ly finished and the camps that were es-
tahlished across the road from the Or
phans' Home and creamy building have
pulled up stakes and moved along to
where there is more work. All of the
rest of the camps on the work are win
ter ones and well protected from the
wintry blasts that will visit that section
within the next few months. All along
the bluff road are various evidences of
work. The land is now all cleared and
the trees, stumps and such are pretty
well out of the way.
The first steam shovel is about two
miles from the Adam Wigim farm and is
owned and operated by Mcintosh Bros,
OF this city, This firm has not got the
Zig machine to work yet. as they had
to bring it two miles farther along than
tie other people. but after climbing a
long hill and transporting 1t over some
Pretty rough country it has reached a
place where 1t can be put to use. This
firm has about fifty men employed at
the present time.
The heaviest work, however is being
done al point little farther along the
line by McDougall s. Yale. Here is to
be made an immense cut, and just be-
fore it a hill of 10 feet. The amount of
excavation is enormous, but the steam
shovel employed. affectionately called
Big Mike, moves three yards Of earth at
u bite, and loads cars as fast as they
can be placed for him. McDougall &
Yale have just placed an excavator at
work. machine operated by the draft
of about twenty horses, and will soon
have two more big shovels on the job.
Mr.. McDougall stated recently that the
weather was ideal, and that great deal
more woud be accomplished before cold
weather would settle down than had
ever been expected. The men are push
ing things, but even cold weather will
not stop their work. The camp is a win
ter one and if it is not storming they
can grade just the same, not being in
terfered with by the frost.

WILL TRY WATER METERS.
Davenport Interested in Saving Its
Water Supply From Waste.

| Davenport, Nov 6.--For the purpose
of making it possible for the city
plumbing inspector and the city clectri-
clan to properly inspect, test and regu-
late meters for the people of the city, a
petition is preparing on which those
who are interested in the proposed
| equipment OF the Offices of these two
| city officials with instruments. are
/ placing their signatures. The petition
| is woroied as follows:
| I'VE, the undersigned residents of
Davenport, Iowa, do hereby petition
your honorable body, that you provide
the offices of plumbing inspector and
city electrician with the proper appa-
ratus and appliances for public inspec-
ton of all water, gas and electric me-
tiers, the method of inspection and all
other details to be provided by ordin-
ance."
AS the matter stands now, If a per-
son thinks that his meter either for gas,
water or electricity, is not accurately
registering what he consumes of either
commodity he has but one recourse and
that is to the company supplying The
commodity Under the proposed ar
arrangement, if the company refused to
give the consumer a new meter or in
any way failed to provide for the cor
rection of the supposed inaccuracy the
consumer would lodge his complaint
with the city official and by the pay
ment of the actual cost of the inspec-
ton, could have his mind put at ease in
regard to the meter and whether he was
getting q short measurement or not, af
ter the meter had been corrected by the
city officials, or its error determined. he
would have better feeling for the
company supplying him with the was,
water or electricity
1t is understood that there will be
no opposition from the companies sup
plying these commodities to consumers.
