Incidents in Ad-
vanccment of the
Community.


Progress in many ways IN Rock Is
land has marked the IL months just
closing. Business. politics. have all
had their scasonc. while the city has
been spared from any great
disasters of a general nature
Improvement mas been in evidence
from Q commercial standpoint. as also
in the point of growth. Probably the
most Undesirable thing the city has
faced this year wac the retiring of such
q large number of men from the Rock
Island arsenal. but employees in other
industries are taking their places and
beginning the new year as residents
Of Rock Island. New factories have
been opened for business, much build
ing has been done and the last month
closes VITA Rock Island giving thanks
for much prosperity.
The politics of the year has bee.
extraordinary. For the first time Rock
Island elected an independent mayor
by a great majority and about 10
months remain for the citizens to re-
fleet upon thei.' wisdom in this expert
ment. Notwithstanding the fact that
this is an OF year as to fall elections.
the death OF Congressman Benjamin r.
Marsh caused a special election TO be
called and the people participated in
a lively campaign, resulting in the
e.ection OF James Mckinney, of Mercer
county, over y. Howard Pattee. of War
rem county.
The world of sport witnessed the
closest race in the history OF the Three
Eye league and saw the Islanders end
the season a close second 10 the pen
nant winners.
