canton of Patriarchs Militant in Mo-
line The name Pillow City" has been
approved The canton had asked for

BOATS HAVE ALL TURNED IN
Government Making Annual Repairs at
Silver Lake, in Hennepin Canal.

The boats that have been engaged in
the government river work in this vi
cinity during the summer have been
called in for the season. and have been
assembled for regular repairs in Silver
lake. in the Hennepin canal. below Mi
Ian. The boats could have been oper-
ated another month, possibly, but the
policy OF the government is to have
them in winter quarters long enough in
advance of cold weather to test the
wood before il is frozen. If the frost
settles in the wood this work would
have to be delayed until spring, and
thus probably interfere seriously with
the opening of the next campaign on
the river. A great amount of work has
been done under the direction of Col
J. l.. Lusk's Office during the season
that has just closed. and the coming
year is expected to be an even buster
one.

FACTORY LEAGUE GO
Rock Island and Davenport May Join
Hands With Moline.

With the football season practically
ended the thoughts ct the Moline fans
are turning to the sport which has the
greatest following of any of the present
day-baseball-and already plans for
teams for next years factory league
are being discussed.
Last year the factory league was
formed as an experiment. Teams from
Deere & Co.'S, the d. NJ. Sechler Car
riage company's, the Moline Plow COM
pany's. the Moline Wagon company's,
the Deere & Mansur company's. and
the Velie Carriage company's cOnSti-
tuted the league. When the league
was first talked of it was decided that
no admission charge TO the game could
be made. Consequently, admittance
was free till near the end of the sea-
son, with three teams fighting for the
lead in the league. challenge games
were played. Is and 25-cent admission
fees charged and a couple of hundred
dollars was taken in at the gate on
each game.
This experiment has opened the eyes
of the fans there, particularly those
who were the backbone of the league
last year. and il is planned to charge
for all games next year.
The Rock Island Plow company and
the Bettendorf Wagon company and
the Mutual company, of Davenport, are
anxious to place teams in the league.
and the number of teams will probably
be increased from six to eight. A
board of directors, one man from each
factory represented in the league, will
probably manage the affairs of the or
ganiZatiOn.

NO DANGEROUS LAND LAW
CHANGES

The action Of the house committee
ON irrigation in reporting adversely on
the bill to repeal the desert land act
shows clearly that the lobby which has
been seeking the repeal of that act
will fail, at least in this congress.
1t is possible that a olll which finds
favor in the senate repeating the tim
Der and stone acts will be passed. but
even that is problematical. II is clear.
however, that, no legislation making
more radical changes in the existing
laws will find any favor with either
branch of congress. The senate will
not waste time debating and passing
an act repeating the desert land law
when it sees that legislation Of that
kind would be condemned in the house
of representatives.
Public sentiment is in favor of en-
aiding the people to acquire homes on
the public domain. and all the iufu-
ence that the great land grant rail
roads may exert will not suffice to
change matters in this respecr.-Den-
yer Republican.
