EXPRESS BY RIVER
AMERICAN COMPANY, BARRED BY
ROAD, WILL USE PACKETS
HERE TO CLINTON.

1t has been known for some time that
the American Express company has
been fighting TO hold its present fran
chise on the D., r. /. & \. w. railway.
BY combined effort the Adams and
United States Express companies have
finally succeeded in forcing the Ameri-
can off of this line by virtue of their
respective contracts with the Burling-
ton and the Milwaukee roads. whose
trains now operate on the D., r. l. &
y. w road.
However, the American is game, and
will maintain its representation in the
tri-cities by operating on the river
packets plying between Clinton, Rock
Island and Davenport.
The American operates on the entire
c. & n. w. system, and all express
trains on that road will make close
connections at Clinton with the pack
cts. thus enabling the American to de-
liver the express from the east in the
early forenoon. as in the past
The business people especially will
be pleased with this arrangement, as
they we'll realize that the tri-cities can
i'll afford to lose any of the express
companies. On the contrary, they
would like to have others come that
are not now represented.

last season was added during tOurna-

the woman's championship tournament
and for the handicap one cup.
The increasing membership of the
club and interest in the game as evil
denced by the greater number of play
ers participating in the various matches
last season is the reason for the in
crease of the number of prizes offered
for the current year.
No Changes I'm Grounds.
No changes will be made in the
grounds this year, and consequently
the course will be thrown open for use
much earlier than usual The turf of
the fair and putting green's is in splen-
did condition, much better than is usual
for this season of the year, a ciTcum-
stance ascribed to the prolonged COW

The result OF the popular vote upon
the constitutional amendment re.
moving the restriction of state and
for highways, was large majority
for it's adoption. So now bill is
prepared establishing a new road
system, under state highway de-
partment directed by state high
way commissioner aud deputy with
necessary clerical assistance, for the
distribution of state aid to townships
in construction OF roads. Elk Sena.
tor Earle, OF Detroit, who is good
roads enthusiast, prepared and is
urging the measure, which has been
introduced by Senator Ely, OF Alma.
The bill allows ten thousand dol
lars year for administration,
and one hundred and seventy thous-
and dollars appropriation for town
ship aid in two years, in amounts
limited to one half OF the cost OF not
to exceed six miles OF road in any
one township. The Holmes auto
bill, which passed the house aud is
now in the state affairs committee
OF the senate, devotes fines collected
under it TO the good-roads fund, and
it is proposed to hold it up until
action has been had on the Ely bill,
rs, unless some such law should be
enacted, there would be no such fund
and no machinery for handling it.
