MIDDLE WEST BEAUTY SPOT
The Watch Tower is Called in Story
in the Four-Track News.

The Four-Track News for August
contains an Illustrated story on Black
Hawk Watch Tower written by w. F.
Eastman, of Moline. 1t says:
One of the most beautiful of the
historic spots of the middle west is
Black Hawks Watch Tower three
miles from Rock Island. ILL., bluff
rises almost perpendicularly 800 feet
from Rock river and from it's point the
course of the river can be traced
through the prairie many miles either
way while across the stream is a beau
tiful prairie hemmed in by a range of
low bluffs. Tradition says that on
this point Black Hawk stood to watch
for his enemies but it is more probable
that he was attracted TO ii by its
beauty, as in his autobiography he
speaks of this. and of the romances
TINT chung about It. On the bluff back
of the point was the great Sac village.
Sauk-e-nuk. which at one time contain
ed 1000 Indians. In il was the great
council hall of the Sacs and Foxes
where the braves met to discuss ques-
tons of peace and war and in which
was planned the Black Hawk war in
which Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Da-
Wis and Zachary Taylor took part
About the village were the cornfields
of the tribe. On the Mississippi few
miles from this place they met and
destroyed the fleet sent against them
and the British in 1914
A summer resort is now on the bluff
and the illustration shows a party at
the point of the tower, with little
thought of the wars of the Indians that

TIME TO DENVER CUT
ST. PAUL ROAD REDUCES FIGURES
FOR THE TRIP NEARLY
THREE HOURS.
HIGH SPEED ON ENTIRE RUN
Arrangement With the Union Pacific
Marks important Change in West
ern Traffic.

With a 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 % hours
and 10 minutes to &c hours.
The distance between Chicago and
Denver is considerably over ] 900
miles, which means a 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 Cos p. m. and arrives in
Denver at o'clock the following
night. Eastbound the train leaves
Denver at APO p. m. and arrives in
Chicago at 1855 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 it's 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.
