It's Quality That Counts

In coal it's quality that makes
heat, it's quality that retains it,
it is quality that makes possible
consumption of 80 per cent of the
sombustible part of it, leaving a
light, clean ash ; lastly, it's quail
ity that lessons your fuel bills
you're not paying for dirt, refuse
or unburnables. The coal we
handle, both hard and soft, de-
serves all the good things we and
our patrons say for it. A ton win
talk as loudly as a carload.

Moline is about to lose its little isl
and off the water front. Willow ISL
and. opposite the foot of Twentieth
street, thickly grown to willows
hence its name-and a favorite haunt
for swimmers, is being uprooted and
strewn along the wing dam. The lit
tie spot of verdure is literally being
torn out of the placid bosom of Syl-
van wafer for the willows go first
and then the rock and sand founda-
ton of their growth is hauled up and
towed to the wing dam. The will
lows are laid on the dam and weight
ed with rock, forming jetty con-
struction which has proved best to
withstand the force of water. The
wing dam extension has suffered more
or less from the continued high water
this summer and the government feet
is at work repairing it and the ma
terial is being taken from the little
island This island is not a natural
product but was formed at the time
when the channel was dredged in Syl-
van water by deposits of rock which
were blasted from the river bed.

4 petition for the viaduct to be
built at Warmers crossing by the
Rock Island road has been posted at
the Warner corner for the past week
and it is raising protest from the res
idents and property owners of that
vicinity. The petition calls for the
building of the viaduct some 20 feet
to the east of the big ditch which
runs along the east side of the Water
town road. 1t is to have approaches
of 21O feet and all dimensions for the
viaduct are set forth. But the Rock
Island officials own to the middle of
the present road and they propose to
close this thoroughfare to traffic
There lies the trouble. The property
owners do not wish this road closed
though they do want the viaduct
built as far to the east as possible.
The farther it is put from their resi-
dences the better they will like it.
They own to the middle of the road
of that part which runs along their
property and will make a strong
fight to keep the thoroughfare open.

Beautiful Piano
GVenAWav
OCTOBER 7, 1903
BY Certain Roswell merchants.

A number of the enterprising firms
of the city have interested themselves
in an arrangement to give away, alb
solutely FREE, an elegant Piano to
some lodge, church, school, club or
other organization of the county.
The plan is a novel one and at once
commends itself to the public, there
being no outlay on the part of anyone
other than the people who are doing
this to stimulate cash trade and at
the same time popularize their place
of business and bestow a lasting and
valuable gift that will be a perma-
nent advertisement for them.
Briefly stated the plan is this: Each
firm who is interested in the contest,
lis provided with voting tickets, and
foreach ten cents worth of goods pur-
chased or work done, issues a ticket
emitting the holder to one vote. The
ticket can be voted for the church.
lodge, society clubof the purchasers
preference. A ten cent purchase enti-
ties to one vote, twenty cents to two
votes, fifty cents to five votes, one
dollar to ten votes, five dollars to fif-
ty votes, and SO on. These tickets
should be filled out in ink or indelible
pencil, the merchant filling in amount
of purchase and number of votes. the
customer filling in for which church,
lodge or other organization the vot"
is to be cast and name of voter. There
must be no erasure or alterations ON
the tickets. They can only be had from
the firms who have secured an inter
est in the contest and only from them
in return for cash purchases of goods.
No charge whatever is made for the
tickets.
The voting box is at The Pecos
Valley Drug Co., where all tickets
should be deposited same day as re-
ceived. On each Wednesday the vote
will be counted and the standing of
contestants announced in The Week
ly Record. A ~disinterested commit
tee will be elected to count the votes.
The contest is now on and will
close October 7th, 1903, at noon, at
which time the piano will be award
