The winters ava foo cold for orange a,


 The winters are too cold for orange or lemon trees to flourish but the olive trees are wonderfully fine and produce tive. It is said that every olive tree is worth at the least fifteen francs a year, and the number of young trees planted by the colonists indicates that the cul- tiVation is profitable.
 Another interesting ramble takes you out of Tlemcen by the gate of Bou Medin, whence you follow the highway to Oran, perhaps one hundred and fif- ty yards. past the ruined mint and over bridge which spans are Oued Kalia. The path leads along the rivers edgei on one side the public gardens, on the other extensive remains of walls and towers. This edge of the old city be- ing most exposed. was naturally most strongly fortified and the crumbling towers are set thick as lamp-posts on Broadway. Close by is the Christian cemetery, in sad state of neglect and dilapidation, I regret to say.

often are when they threw him at tht
 close few coppers with which to eke | out miserable support.
 Who is that full bearded, full-habi-
 ted, strong-voiced and good-natured
 looking man of about sixty who is | urging his hearers to sign the pledge? | You gather from his speech that his
 name is Coates that he's an old rail-
 road man, and that to his other quail ties he adds one which is rerely absent
 in Hyde Park, viz., q special aptitude for murdering the Kings English, par ticularly the letter "h." In exhoting
 his fellow Workmen to habits of tenn
 perance this man is doing that which
 is very much needed; though not so
 much now as formerly. But why does
 he fail so frequently against the church? Perhaps it is because, as an-
 other speaker told us from the same stand, there are in London alone twen
 ty-three clergymen who own shares in breWeries and distilleries. Evidently, though, the man has some pesonal grievance both against the church and the prevailing methods of charity. He
 must surely have wanted the helping hand some time and didn't get it, whereas some man who had better chances than he, but who by drink and riotous living had brought his family to beggary, did get help. Very sugges- tive his concluding remark, and the les son one gets from it is that perhaps in both countries more good would be done by charity if it were given less on the ground of abstract need and more on the ground of honest desert. 'Pll tell you what it is, men," he said; "in London it's the fellow that don't try to get on who's 'elped and the other man gets tract"
 A suggestion of this same practical kind came from another speaker later on. Working gradually back toward Marble Arch I found that the man who had begun long time before on Com pany Promoting" was still at it, and had gotten down now so nearly to the level of his audience as to be saying "Workmen, expend your vision. Your world is the distance between the work shop and what you call your home. Expand your vision. Shall we join a Trades Union? Please yourself, but don't make it your chief object to just get 'tuppence' a day more pay. Who should have the best food? The men who produce it. Who should live in the best houses? The men whose labor builds them. But, as it is, you weave the silk and wear the rags"
 What this man next blurted out was what no visitor would care to say to English workmen, though there may be never so much truth in it. Half of | you" he said "are afraid of water. If | you were not you'd drink glass when ! you first get up in the morning" Then he explained in very realistic | way how wholesome as an inward cleanser would be the effect of this glass of Adams ale before breakfast; I md then he became even more realis- | ic. In fact he was almost offensive |

AMERICAN BRAINS.

Brain Workers Require Special Food.
American brain workers have for
some years past been largely using an
especially prepared food for rebuild
ing the gray matter of brain and
nerve centers. Any man or woman
who cares to make test by using this
food, Grape Nuts, for portion of one
or two meals each day, will find dis
tinct increase in vigor, and particu-
larly in brain power.
Then if they feel disposed to know
the reason why, they can have Grape
Nuts analysed, or take the analysis of
the London Lancet and the result will
show that the food contains the nat
ural phosphate of potash obtained in
a natural way from the cereals and
albumen obtained in the same way.
These two elements unite together
in the human body to make and re-
build the gray matter of which the
brain. solar plexus and nerve centers
are filed.
These are scientific facts which can
be ascertained by any careful investi-
gator. The food, Grape-Nuts, is not
only the most scientifically made food
in the world, but almost any user will
agree with US that the flavor is unique
and most winning.

THE STREET CARS
WOULD SOLVE It
The Question of Accommodations
for the Crews of the
Rock Island.
PROVIDED NEW ORDERS COME
Night Service on the Fourth Ave-
nue. Line and Perhaps an Ex-
tension Might Suffice.

If the worst should happen and the
Rock Island order that the engines of
the Iowa division be left in the round
house at Hawthorn yards instead of
being sent back to this city as now,
the Tri-City railway may offer a sola-
ton of the problem. so far as the me
are concerned, that would prevent
their loss of residence in Rock Island.
The Fourth avenue line now runs to
within two blocks of the new yards
and three blocks of the roundhouse.
By running cars at reasonable inter-
walls all night, the men would be able
to reach Hawthorn without serious
loss of time, either night or day, and
if such an arrangement is made neces-
sary by the course of the Rock Island,
the street car company might event
ually extend it's Fourth avenue line
the additional three blocks that
would take the men to the
roundhouse. AS far as the night
cars are concerned The ARGUS has
reasonable assurance that there would
be no difficulty about that, and it
is more than likely that as far as the
street car company is concerned the
extension of the line might be ac-
complished without great difficulty.
AS to the Iowa Crews.
To be sure it may be that no Cir
cumstance will arise that will disturb
the Iowa crews, but most railroad
men entertain contrary opinions on
that subject, and as said before, the
information has come that the change
will become effective the middle of
the present month.
In view of all these facts, THE
ARGUS has once more to suggest that
if the business men of Rock Island
deem the subject of sufficient import
ance to their interests to act, they
might, through a committee, inter-
view the Rock Island road, the Tri-
City Railway company and all others
concerned, in order that they may as
certain-if possible-jusr what's what.

Rock Island and Moline are from
present indications to be shut
out from enjoying the advantage of

result. Official announcement is
given that the Kansas City trains
will cross the Mississippi from Savan-
ma to Sabula, thence down the Mil
waukee line to Clinton and on down
the ID. Z. l. tracks to Davenport,
rather than down the Illinois side by
way of Clinton. This plan has been
adopted to avoid the slow running of
trains through Rock Island and Mo-
line to Davenport. The, Milwaukee
will use the c., e. l. IL p. tracks to
Columbus Junction and build cut
off line thence to Ottumwa, where the
Kansas City line will be touched.

SEEMS DOOMED
TO STAY OFF THE CARS

j. M. Eldridge, one of the pioneer
citizens of Davenport, has written the
Democrat the following, anent the fate
of the Davenport. Rock Island 81
Northwestern road:
Davenport. How love you! |
love the namel A. C.. Fulton and l
have been working for so years to get
a railroad with the name Davenport on
the cars. We helped to build the road
from Chicago here, hoping it would be
called the Chicago, Rock Island IL
Davenport. We got fooled on that.
81 was in Philadelphia in 1852. and
wanted to buy ticket for Davenport.
The agent had no ticket for any such
place, but said he could sell me a
ticket to Rock Island. So / got a
ticket for Rock Island.
'sThen we concluded to get the gov
eminent to grant land to build rail
road from Davenport to Iowa City.
Des Moines and Council Bluffs, and
held a convention to memorable con-
eress to grant us land to build a rail-
road, thinking then we would have q
railroad from Davenport to Council
Bluffs. We had convention at Iowa
City Feb. %. 1851. Twenty-Five of
us went to Iowa City. Fulton and
went together. 1 was to furnish
horse and buggy, he to pay all ex-
penses. Wegot out to Posten's Grove
and my horse died. Fulton went on
with the other teams and went with
Johnathan Parker. Muscatine sent
II delegates. We both had good
speakers, but A. G.. Fulton made the
best speech of the lot. We had Judge
Grant, Ebenezer Cook and others, and
they had Judge Williams. Theodore
Parvin and Harry O'Connor. They
wanted the road to go via Muscatine.
but Fulton was too much for them.
and got the vote this way: Daven-
port, Iowa City, Des Moines to Coun-
Gil Bluffs. So Muscatine was left off
the bills.

cities. There are at least four intake
pipes taking water from the Missis-
siPpi river at no great distance from
Rock / Iand-at Davenport, Moline,
the island and Rock Island. Exami-
nations were made of samples from
these intakes Except the island)
which show that the waters are prac-
tically identical in character. On
these particular days few sewagic
forms were observed, while samples
taken from the slough on the same
days give more than 90 colonies of
sewagic forms of bacteria per cubic
eentimeter."
The council meeting was adjourned
after the the passing of the pay roll
ordinance till next Monday evening.

SMITHS REPORT
ON WATER SUPPLY
Holds Leakage of Sewage Into
Outer Well Responsible for
Typhoid Fever.
ON OPERATION OF THE FILTERS
Says System is Effective if Placed
in Competent Hands,.
The Salt Test.

The second report of the investiga-
ton of Prof. E. G. Smith, of Beloit
university, on the Rock Island water
works supply, was presented at last
nights meeting of the city council. 1t
is an exhaustive analytical review, the
more important features of which are
familiar to the readers of THE ARGUS
The results are given of the test of
salt placed in the slough to ascertain
if the slough water had access to the
outer well at the waterworks. From
3:45 to S:45 p. m. two samples were
taken every half hour and the report
shows that the chlorine increased
from 1.95 parts per million at 3:45 p.
m. to 4.75 parts at s As p. IN.
DIR. Smith says: "Such a condition
can be accounted for only by the sup
position that there was free leakage
of the slough water into the pump
well. The conditions so far as demon
strated are serious and undoubt-
eddy do affect the general
health. 1 believe them to be
measurably responsible r. pres
ent typhoid fever in the city. l
therefore most strenuously urge upon
you the necessity for prompt action
relative to them"
Recommendations.
These recommendations are made
in his report:
1. That the use of the smaller well
be abandoned.
2. That the large well be thor
oughly overhauled In whatever way
may prove to be most efficient, ce-
menting and making tight the inner
wall and protecting from possible see
page of water by double sheet piling
or an outer tight masonry wall.
5. The rigid inspection of the in
take pipe as soon as the stage of water
will permit by methods such as have
already been employed.
4. The putting in operation of the
filters with careful supervision to
as Ire their efficiency.
All these recommendations have
been carried out except the inspection
of the intake pipe, which cannot be
undertaken until the river recedes.
Intelligence Necessary at Reservoir.
Another fact brought out by this
inquiry saws Prof. Smith, lis that
at this time the filters built by the
city were not in operation. The waters
were sedimented for period, but
so as to undergo only partial puri-
fication Ia passing l desire to en-
phasize the fact that the system of
publication adopted by the city of
Rock Island is a difficult one to
handle. 1t is an exact scientific pro-
cess, effective if intelligently oper-
ated, but unsatisfactory if not con
tinuously operated on strictly scien-
tific principles. The system of slow
sand filtration has been too widely
adopted and the results are too wide
" known to need argument.
Another fact was the apparent
prevalence of typhoid fever in Rock
Island as against the neighboring

pet scheme to have the name Daven-

The Democrat seeks to console its
contributor with this assurance: "It
is hoped that Mr.. Eldridge will brace
up under the assurance that the new
road is to retain its name of Daven-
port, Rock Island & Northwestern. as
has been announced since his feelings
crystallized in the above form"

THE STATE SCHOOL LAND.
Mr.. Myers Finds That the State Owns 745, 900
Acres.

Mr.. Myers, Of the Geological survey,
has completed his report in regard to the
amount of school land owned by the
State. He closes his report with recon-
mendations and suggestions which, he
thinks, if carried out, will give the State
Board of Education information at all
times as to the amount. value and loca-
ton of the swamp lands owned by the
State.
He finds that the State owns 745, 412
acres of swamp lands, 561,412 acres hav-
ing been surveyed and $4,000 not sur
veyed. OF these lands there. are l90,653
acres in Hyde and Tyrrell counties, 12O,S57
acres in Carteret county, 205, 705 acres in
Jones, Craven, Onslow and Pamlico coun-
ties There are claims against 4S,S64
acres of the swamp lands in Hyde and
Tyrrell counties, against 1913 acres in
Carteret county, and against 29,7S7 acres
in Jones, Craven, Onslow and Pamlico
counties.
Eight years ago it was estimated that
the value of this land ranged from SIPS
TO 10 cents per acre. The value of most
of the land is for the timber, and it is
estimated that by growth alone standing
timber increases in value Is per cent
yearly, or that it doubles in eight years
large part of the value is in the
lakes and swamos. 1t is said that some
of the most valuable CRANBERRY and rice
land in the world is in Eastern North
Carolina.
