Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1903-01-23
ILLINOIS IS A GOOD
STATE FOR FINNY TRIBE

The great state OF Illinois is so for
tunate as to have within its borders
some of the most extensive natural
provocative and nursery grounds for
fish that can he found in any com
monwealth in the United States. The
Illinois river may be said to have its
source Il short distance east of Nor
ris, in Grundy county, where the Kan
laliee and Desplaines rivers unite the
waters from various tributaries, and
it receives also the outpour of the
great drainage canal. In the bottom
lands along the Illinois are many
lakes and sloughs that are filled with
water several times each year, when
the river overfows its banks. and
these lakes furnish vast spawning
grounds for adult fishes and excep-
tional nurseries for the fry. These
natural provisions are utilized by the
state fish commissioner in replenish
ing other waters. During the season
when normal conditions prevail many
thousands of small fishes are seined
and shipped for stock purposes, the
supply being practically ineXhausti-
BILE and the number that may be TAX
en- limited only by the length of time
during which CoINlllOllS MAY DC Id
vorable for collection each season and
the cost of doing the work.
The Illinois fish commission owns
and maintains a steamer, formerly
named the Reindeer, but since the hull
was rebuilt and the steamer was en-
larged, about one year ago, the COM
mission is enabled to perform,
through the season OF navigation, eff
ficient work in fish protection. and
also in fish propagation through the
utilization of natures supply in the
breeding and nursery grounds ada
cent to the principal waterways of the
state. When periodical high waters
swell the flow of the Illinois river ii
backs up into all these breeding lakes
and millions of fishes of all sizes and
varieties found in the river run into
the side waters.
There these fish are imprisoned
when the river falls. and when hard
freezing weather comes on during the
winter in the ShallOweSt waters many
thousands who have survived a heated
term during low water in the summer
time invariably would perish-the eN-
tremes of cold and heat being alike

abling Capt. G.. II. Williams and his
crew to cover long distances in a
very short time. The river is parolled
constantly during the season, the
crew being very alert to discover
would-be viOlators of the law against
netting. This efficient service has
gratified the commission and resulted
in a satisfactory increase of business
for the practical men engaged in com
mercial fishery on the Illinois river.
As in other waters. the penny wise
and pound foolish" policy to which
some fishermen have been addict ed has
been fully demonstrated, and many of
that class have come to recognize
the benefits of adequately enforced
protection.
Despite the manner in which the IL
linOis fish commission has been handi-
capped in the work of collecting
fishes during the past season, there is
no cause for Encouragement. The
fishes remain in the Illinois river and
connecting waters, and millions more
will be added by the increase the
next spawning season. With the pre-
valence of normal conditions on the
river during the coming year. the en-
ployes of the commission should be
able to break any previous record for
the work of these waters. and thereby
largely augment the distribution of

IT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

We do not need to devote q great
deal of time to speaking of Ozau
township. 1t speaks for itself in
tones clear and distinct, with no du.
bious or uncertain sound, but in
words that go ringing around and
across the continent, saying, "at
last the promised land has been
found
This section-not we-speaks in
the golden netss of its yellow corn /;
it speaks with the mellow voice of
its peerless fruits; it speaks with
the silvery tones of its snow-white
cotton; it speaks with the murmur-
ing whisperings of its varied cereals
and waving grains; it speaks with
the trained and intelligent voice of
its educational institutions; it
speaks in the grand old anthems of
its eternal forests; it speaks with
the glad songs aud laughing voices
of its lovely daughters; it speaks
with the resonant voice and joyous
sounds of trade and commerce. and
all blended iuto one grand harmony
by the enlightened voices of her in
telIigent and energetic business
men.
And all these sounds. and notes,
and songs, and anthems, and muir.
muring vhisperings flow and mingle
and swell into one long, grand and
exalted chorus, of our resources
and developments, aud tell of the
wonderful progress and prosperity
of our people,
Washington telegraph., 1903-06-05

is to find out how much the crop
will pay-say 8 per cent. interest
on. We will take the best 160 acres
you have, and suppose you put it in
wheat and corn, then il it brings
you $40 dollars per acre you are do
ing we'll. Now So per acre expense
will leave you SO net, which is 8 per
cent on 500, therefore your land is
worth 500 per acre.
Now we can set from 60 to 80 ap.
pie trees, and from $50 to It's
peach trees to the acre, but to be
reasonably low, let us say they av-
erage 100 trees. Five-vear-old trees
(peach, } will net So per tree, still
we will cut this down to 81 per tree
to keep within safe bounds, yet
even this would leave US 500 per
acre. Now take $40 per acre as ex-
pense for gathering, ETC., and this
would leave US $50 per acre profit,
which would be 8 per cent interest
on 81 900. Therefore, by the only
safe rule to compute land values, if
your land is worth 800 per acre,
our land is worth $1,000.
A poor man can come here and
buy 40 acres at S., which would be
5000, he then goes to work and sets
out 20 acres-one- -half-in fruit
trees. and in 5 years bis 10 acres
are worth 81, 900 with only one-h half
in fruit.
THERE'S much food for thought in
these figures for the homeseeker.

NATURE is LAVISH.

To describe the enchanting seen
cry, the invigorating and healthful
climate, the rich agricultural and
horticultural resources, as well as
the many other natural resources
and commercial advantages of OZan
township, is task far beyond the
descriptive powers of the writer.
No word picture or artists brush
can do justice to that subject. They
can neither be imagined, described
nor anticipated, and can only be ap-
preciated by actual observation.
Therefore we can only hope to
create desire in the mind of the
reader by a brief summary of the
attractions, advantages and oppor-
tunities, to come here and feast his
eyes upon scenery and his pocket
book upon opportunities that battle

HORACE GREELEY's ADVICE

The advice of Horace Greeley in
the early sixties, 500 West Young
Man," was the best advice ever Civ
en- to the young men of nation,
and many of those who have profit
ed by it, are to-day found in the
ranks of the wealthiest and most
prominent citizens of the state.
At the time this advice was given
it was to the young men on account
of the many hardships that we're al
ways encountered in the settlement
of a new country. But these hard
ships now no longer exist, and the
advice is as good for old as it was
for young men.
The history of the United States
attests the fact that land values in
crease more rapidly in new couu-
try, than any other class of prop
erty, and it is safe to say that nine
tenths of the wealth of the United
States has been accumulated from
the increase in the values of land
alone.
Agricultural lands ia the eastern
states have about reached their lin
it of valuation for agricultural pur.
poses, and therefore but little if any
profit can be realized from the in.
vestment of money in eastern agri-
cultural lands. Rich agricultural
lands can be bought in this county
now, for about one-6fth of what it
can be bought in the next ten or ff-
teen years, so aside from the crops

A FEW THINGS.

Herewith we give a list of a few
that might be put W
,ere with great profit;
An oil mill,
A cotton factory,
A wooden mill,
A canning factory,
A creamery,
Vinegar and picking works,
Corncob pipe factory,
Wagon and carriage factory,
Hub and spoke factory,
Bending works.
Washington telegraph., 1903-06-05

raised on the lands, substantial re-
turns will be realized on the won
derful increase in the valuation Of
these lands.
There is nothing more certain
than that the present low price of
land in our county will be doubled
or quadrupIed in the next few years,
as the land is now being rapidly
opened up, and every acre of tillable
land will soon be placed in fine
state of cultivation, and will com.
mand the very highest prices.
There can be no mistake in buy
ing land here now,
Washington telegraph., 1903-06-05
COME LET US FIGURE.

The East, North and West boast
of their farming country, and of
how much it is worth. Now we
will figure just little. and see how
it will compare with our land. The
way to tell how much land is worth,

IT COULD BE DONE.

Doubtless the Almighty could
have made a fairer land than this
magnificent strip of country known
as Ozan township, but He did not in
His infinite wisdom wish to spoil the
people. No other country so COM
pletely combines all the essential
elements Of health and prosperity,
no other country has more perfect
climatic conditions, with super
abundance and variety of material
resources, diversified oy vast stretch.
es of the most fertile lands, and
abundantly irrigated by rivers and
creeks.
The country is peopled by some
of the best representatives Of the
human race, a thrifty, intelligent
and progressive class of people, the
best and most virile blood of the
country transplanted in here, and
working out the salvation of this
portion of Gods beautiful foot
stool. The sturdy, moral character
and high intelligence of our people
is exempli6ed by the many fine
school buildings and church edi6ces
located throughout the country, and
by the attendance therein.
The towns in Ozan township
Washington and Ozan-are build
ing up rapidly both in wealth and
population, and they afford many
unequalled opportunities for indus
trial enterprises. Nature always in
dicates with absolute certainty the
line of industrial activity along
which a town should work, and
where Nature points it is always
safe to follow.
If you are seeking home, farm
or business opportunity, or an in
dustrial site in the best country in

a moral, intellectual and progressive
atmosphere, and whore all the con-
ditions are favorable to prosperity
and happiness, write to any of the
people whose names you see in this
