H. +. CaSteel. president of the Rock
Island association. arrived home last
evening from Chicago, where he at
tended the meeting of the league di-
rectors He said that while there was
a move made to drop Rockford and
substitute Peoria, and the discussion
grew warm at times, the best of feel
ing prevailed, and all seemed satisfied
with the results attained. There was
a tie vote on the proposition to drop
Rockford. President Edward Holland
deciding in favor of holding the pres
ent circuit intact. Mr.. Casteel stated
that those who voted in favor of Il
change did so purely for business rea-
sons, and without any feeling of ami
mostly for Rockford. 1t was decided
TO continue the collection of 10 per
cent of the gross receipts of each
game during the season for Il reserve
fund Two thousand of the amount
accumulated in the reserve fund was
credited to the guarantee fund, $3.50
for each of the eight clubs, the money
posted by clubs for the coming sea-
son being returned to them. The bal
ance in the fund was voted for league
expenses. The schedule as prepared
by President Holland was not consid-
cred satisfactory and new one was
ordered drafted by Frank Landers, of

When Coils u. Huntingdon first

When Edward H. Hartman actually
undertook to do the thing at an eX-

thought to be counting ruin, and the
western press ironically referred to

to which he was said to be pouring
millions which would never bear fruit.
Now that this most novel and greatest
engineering feat of its kind is an ac-

SPLENDID CONCERT GIVEN
By wENNERBERG CHORUS

The concert by the Wennerberg
chorus at Augustana college last ev-
ening attracted a large audience that
heard an excellent entertainment,
with just enough of variety to break
the spell of monotony that spoils the
ordinary musical performance of this
character. The chorus is composed
of college students. The concert was
given for the benefit of the auditOri-
um fund. In addition to the chorus
numbers there were two songs by a
quartet composed of F. c. Blomquist,
ID. Wahlberg, E. j. Joranson and s. j.
Sebelius, vocal solos by Mrs. Edla
Lund and Miss Lindgren. and violin
and organ solos by Prof Zedeler and
Prof. Bodfors.

Rock Island and Frisco Roads
Planning to Build to New
Orleans.
SURVEYORS ARE NOW AT WORK
Result of Refusal Of Rights on New
Missouri Pacific
Road.

The Rock Island-'Frisco interests
are making preparations for the con
structiCn of an independent river line
to New Orleans. Their decision was
caused by the failure to complete an
arrangement with the Gould interests
for the joint use of the Missouri Pa
cific's new line to the gulf, now under
construction.
Several parties of surveyors have
been sent to locate Il line almost par
alel to the Missouri Pacific's new
road. The Rock Island-Frisco had
started to survey an independent line
to the gulf year ago, when over
lures by the Missouri Pacific caused
Il halt.
1t is understood that a coalition re-
Gently was formed between the Rock
Island and Hartman interests in
Texas, and that the projected line to
the gulf is to form the southern di-
vision of the new north and south
lines, of which the Chicago 4; Eastern

for a moment in Becker's cafe. Mr..
Dauber says that he was not gone for
over five minutes and that it was i'm

away because of the people passing
at that time He thinks the animal

VIII Live In history.

In several respects, in the opinion
of II. II. Mccullough. third vice presi-
dent Of the Northwestern railway. the
opening of the Lucin cutoff was more
historical than the union of the east
and west when the golden spike was
driven into the Southern Pacific track
on Promontory Point May Q. 1869. 1T
represents" declared Mr.. Mccullough.
the limit of development in trans
portation methods contrasted with
the journey of old Jim Bridger when
he discovered the great Salt Lake and
the Bear river in 1924. Since then the
expenditure of many millions has re
duced the time to three days, and fl
nally the elimination of the summit
of Sherman pass by the Aspen tunnel,
the conquering of Salt Lake, the re-
duction of grades and the elimination
of curves, and the double tracking of
the Northwestern, all at an expense
of more than $6O,OOO,0 900, have made
possible the further reduction to two
and one-half days or two days from
the Missouri river as against 60 days
by the overland stage of So years
ago
If an air line should be drawn from
Ogden to Lucin it would be but 1,70S
feet, or 0.32 of mile longer than the
new route of the Southern Pacific
The saving which will be effected in
operating expenses is estimated at
100000 yearly.
DischarginR Men.
The burlington road has discharg-
ed between $50 and 200 men in the
shops at Aurora and it is believed that
this is to be followed with a similar
reduction in forces elsewhere

tract for players. President Harry
