INTERESTING. IF 1T is TRUE
Sterling Version of Plans of Misss-
sippi Valley Traction Company.

Sterling papers allege to have in
side information of the plans of the
Mississippi Valley Traction company
for the extension of the East Moline
& WATERFOWL interurban road farther
east and north. The Sterling Gazette
says that c. H. Deere lis considering
the advisability of extending his line
to Albany, thence to Morrison, and
probably from Morrison to Clinton,
Iowa. Mr.. Deere has recently gone
over the proposed route beginning at
Albany and going east to Erie, Den
rock and thence north to Morrison.
From that place he drove to Clinton
at which place the proposed line would
connect with the road already in oper-
alton running south TO Davenport.
"A survey of the line will soon be
made and the usual estimates secured
and if the project is feasible, there is
no doubt but that Mr.. Deere will build
He is a capable railroad man, and is
backed by unlimited capital, and all
the projects he has undertaken in the
vicinity of Rock Island and Moline and
the surrounding towns have been
successful; and each line has proved
profitable The line which he con-
templates building from Albany will
be about 50 miles in length, the sec
ton from Morrison to Clinton will be
about 1G miles long.
With an almost practical certainty
that the Sterling. Dixon e Eastern
will build an extension of its road
from this city to Morrison and the
high probability that Mr.. Deere will
carry out his project, the people of
Sterling may look forward to an eX-
cellent railway service west of this
city. 1t will be possible when the pro-
posed lines are built, to go a long dis
lance by electricity. Passengers may
travel to Clinton, using the Higgins
and Deere lines. and there they could
connect with another interurban sys-
tenn for Davenport, Rock Island and
Moline. Other railway projects are
under way and if all of these are car
ried out, the extent of the electric
travelling facilities will be greatly in
creased"

MARKS Important Change in West
ern Traffic.
With new time card effective Sun
day, July 10, the Chicago. Milwaukee
& st. Paul railway eliminates two
hours and forty-five minutes from the
running time of passenger trains be
tween Chicago and Denver.
Under the schedule that has been
prepared. the Overland Limited train,
operated jointly by the Union Pacific
and the ST. Paul, reduces its time
between the two cities from IS hours
and 10 minutes TO % hours.
The distance between Chicago and
Denver is considerably over 1000
miles, which means rate of about
forty miles an hour for the entire dis
lance.
Eastbound the time is cut even
deeper than westbound. three full
hours being eliminated from the seized
ule between Denver and Chicago.
By the Encouragement the Overland
Limited of the st. Paul road leaves
Chicago at 6:05 p. m. and arrives in
Denver at o'clock the following
night. Eastbound the train leaves
Denver at 1920 p. m. and arrives in
Chicago at 9:55 p. m. the next day.
To line up with the new schedule
the train that left Chicago at 9:45 a.
m. is operated only as far as Omaha,
and its leaving hour from Chicago is
changed from 9:45 a. m. to 7:15 a. m.
The reduction of time between Chi
cago and Denver makes the st. Paul
a central figure in the transportation
world between the east and the Rocky
mountains.

Yesterday was settling up day with
everybody connected with the combin-
ed races and carnival held last week
at the Davenport mile track. As a
consequence checks in both large and
small amounts were freely signed by
Treasurer A w Wander Neer. While
no official statement has been given
out in reference to the money taken in
during the week, it was reported on
apparently reliable authority that the
Davenport Mile Track association
would clear about $4,000 as a result of
last weeks event. This is a record
breaker for them and makes it the
banner year in the history of the as
sociation. Last weeks attendance al
so eclipsed by far that of any former
year at the mile track. While the car
nival shows We're rather poorly pat
ronized, still Proprietor Barnes comes
out on the right side OF the ledger. and
while he did not make as much money
as he expected to. he himself realized
that he might have Jared much worse
and he left Davenport well satisfied.
