MANY CHANGES on
ROCK ISLAND ROAD
Extensive Improvement of Lines Said
to Be on Program During Next
Few Years.

4 Chicago dispatch says the man.
agement of the Rock Island railroad
has decided to practically rebuild the
entire system, with a view to securing
minimum grades on every division.
They expect to then be able to in
crease the average train load from 22S
tons to $50 tons. This will save sew
eral million dollars annually in oper-
ating expenses 1t is expected that the
rebuilding of the system will occupy
several years.
This puts in concrete form rumOrs
that have been circulated for an eX-
tended period. In fact. the company
has been at work along these lines for
some time, and several crews are now
employed in the southwest, there it Is
expected the greatest amount of work
will be done. There will be few chang
es between here and Chicago. as the
Illinois division is in good shape now.
The Iowa division may receive some
attention. The company expects to
have improvements made by next fall
that will render il expedient to put the
Golden State limited back on the old
schedule.

There Is some consolation In the

BOWLING ASSOCIATIONS
TO MEND DIFFICULTIES

NEW YORK, Jan 1S--Wfth mutual
concessions between East and West
there is an encoura ging prospect that
the New York Bowling Association and
American Bowling Congress. respec-
lively representing the two sections, will
quickly forget all differences that have
existed between these two important
bodies. and will soon -be working in
harmony to the best interests of this
popular winter paStime.
OvertureS to this end were begun by
officers of the A. 3. c. some weeks ago,
and have met with a satisfactory re-
sponse from those of the local associa-
ton. The latter has signided what
concessions are desired, and there re-
mains. no doubt that they will be ac-
cepted at the meeting of the national
body next month.
Briefly stated, the split between the
two orga anizations was due to three
causes: Local control, the loaded ball
and representation in the national asso-
citation by mushroom clubs. In the mat
