A HITCH OCCURS
Rock island Southern at Outs
With Mckinley People
at CaIesburg.
DISPUTE OVER RIGHT OF WAY
Manager Crafts Denies {. & l. Will
BE Taken Over BY the
Northwestern.

There is evidence of hitch between
the Rock Island Southern Railway
company, which has taken over the
partly graded line OF the Western Illi-
nois Traction company between Mon
mouth and Galesburg, and the McKin-
ley syndicate. The latter owns line
into Galesburg which the Western IL
linOis Traction company was TO use.
but the Rock Island Southern is appar-
emily averse to carrying out the terms
of the old contract and has as yet
made no arrangements for getting en-
trance to Galesburg.
Recently there has been considerable
activity on the part of the Mckinley
syndicate, and officers of that COM
pany have even intimated that they
have plans of their own for a road
from Galesburg 10 Rock Island and do
not propose to allow others TO get
ahead of them. Developments will be
watched with interest at this end of
the line.
Crafts Denies.
Manager p. F. Crafts. of the |. & l.,
declares that the rumors that the
Northwestern road is TO take posses
sion of the line between Davenport
and Clinton July l and begin the run
ming of freight trains, is premature
He declares that no changes are con-
templated. AS yet there is no way in
which steam trains could enter Daven-
port, for the tracks of the TriCity
Railway company are used and the
franchise does not provide for steam.
Connection could be made at Betten-
dorf with the D., r. l. & y. w, how
ever. as the franchise of the latter re-
quires the admission of other lines
when suitable terms are made.
Nevertheless. there is the best of
reason for believing that the road will
be used by the Northwestern, if not
by July l, then at a date not greatly
more remote.
Ask Longer Time.
The Rock River Traction company
has asked an extension of the fran
chise in Sterling township, Whiteside
county. the present terms requiring
the completion of the road by Jan. !.
1906. IL is conceded the road cannot
be built by that time
