which the officers of the railway com

have been specially invited. There
are to be heart to heart talks and =
general spreading of the salve in an
effort to induce the company to allow
its shops to remain where they are
1t is hoped for the sake of the people
i'm our neighboring city that the COM
pany, if it really is determined to
bring it's shops here. will not move
all the equipment at once, as the
shock might prove serious. The
company has given Davenport every
opportunity to hold the shops, and

has had only friendship. good Will
