If the latest plans of the Burlington
road. in regard to lis right of way in
Henry county are carried out, both
Briar Bluff and Colona are to be given
the territory in question and have
staked out a proposed route that will
pass some distance to the east of both
places.
The scheme includes taking the
kinks out of the tracks all the way
to Rio in Knox county The
project was conceived some time ago
but the climax has been brought about
by the recent wreck in which the
semaphore at Colona was knocked into
smithereens. That the semaphore has
not been rebuilt is due to the intention
to change the location of the tracks.

Colona and reducing the grade TO

Will Erect New Depot.
1t is said that the Rock Island and
Burlington roads will erect a neat lit
tie union depot at the new crossing
of their tracks which will be about one
thousand feet east of Green river
Many of the residents of Colona do
not believe the change will be made
so as to leave them high and dry on
the western bank of the river, but the
site mentioned has been staked out
just the same. Several routes have
been staked out, but the one above
mentioned cutting out Briar Bluff and
COlOna, is said to be the one decided
upon.

bart and III. T. Burnan.
Chairman Tice announced that the
committee had completed the rough
draft of measure. which the commit
tee desired to hear discussed. He said
that after the measure had been final
" drawn il was the wish of the COM
mittee to have caucuses of both
branches of the legislature to discuss
and indorse the bill. as it is party
measure Mr.. Sherman said he fav-
ored compulsory direct primary act
which would eliminate the independent
voter from participation in partisan
primaries. \ measure of this kind,
he urged. would prevent democrats
from voting at republican primaries
or vice versa.

a detailed discussion OF the proposed
measure until it had been agreed upon
and adopted by the committee.
I'VE have made good progress he
said. land will be ready to submit
bill when the legislature convenes.

The democrats do not mean to be
left out in the cold in the primary
law matter. Dennis j. Hogan, secre-
tary of the democratic state commit
tee. is drafting Il direct primary law
for presentation by the democratic
minority. and. should the republicans
decide on a simple compulsory pri-
mary law without the direct" feat
ure. the democrats will be prepared
to make an issue. They point to the
majority vote in favor of a direct pri-
mary law on the little ballot in the
November election.
