Country South of Rock Island
Still Unoccupied by the

TIME FOR ACTION IS NOW
Line to New Boston and Keithsbur
Seems Feasible-Other Cities
Showing Activity.

Another building season has rolled
around and no interurban cars are run
ming into Rock Island from the south.
Some efforts have been put forth in
this direction. but evidently they have
not been sufficient. and more and more
il becomes apparent that the only way
to- build interurban roads is to build
them Other cities are getting them.
The larger places in central and south
ern Illinois are becoming centers for
this traffic of the electric cars. But
the hills and valleys south of Rock
Island are strangers TO the new method
of interurban travel.

In the surveys made in the last sum-
mer under the direction of the com
mittee from the Rock Island Club. a
line to JOY. New Boston or Keiths
burg was contemplated. This seems to
be one of the most feasible plans. 1t
is practicable on account of the lay of
the land as well as the advantages in
the terminals. A connection with the
Burlington could be made at either
New Boston or JOY. and if it was deem
ed advisable to continue to Keiths-
burg. an interchange of traffic could
be effected with the Iowa Central.

There seems to be no reason why

SAYS RUSSIA
MAY NEVER WIN
WAR CORRESPONDENT BACK
FROM FRONT
Richard Barry, Formerly Connected
With Los Angeles Paper, Has
Won Honors in the Far
East

Richard Barry, at one time connected
with a Los Angeles newspaper, ami
one of the most successful correspond
ents of the Japanese Russian war, is
visiting his parents in Los Angeles
Mr.. Barry made a record as the only
one of eighty-four correspondents from
different parts of the world who sue
ceeded in reaching Port Arthur and
securing a complete knowledge of con-
ditions at the front. He arrived IN
New York four days before the fall of
the port. having made the trip from
that point in twenty-three days. He
was the only source of first hand in
formation
Since his return to America his time
has been occupied in supplying articles
to the leading journals of this country
and Europe His photographs taken
during the siege of Port Arthur have
appeared in every leading illustrated
magazine in England, as well as many
in Berlin, Paris, Toxic and other CEN
ters.
People do not even comprehend what
this war is," said Mr.. Barry last night.
1.-The only news that comes to America
comes from the capitals and gives no
idea of the conditions.
81 do not think the war is over; on
the contrary, / believe that there may
be many months of fighting. The Rus
slams are brave and have endurance.
Their chief difficulty is that they do
not fight scientifically.
"They have not the officers, they
have jealousy in their ranks, and the
army is corrupt. 1 do not know Of
any social condition in the world that
is so corrupt as the Russian army.
"Kuropatkin has not had half a
chance. He has been pulled down or
every side. The men under him and
over him were trying to undermine
him, and the man who follows will
have just as hard a time. The Rus
slams will probably never win, but they
will endure.
1.-The Japanese army is officered by
wonderful men. The soldiers fight as
one man. and every move is planned
scientifically"
Mr.. Barry will leave Vancouver for
Japan April 10TH He is under con-
tract to Golfers Weekly and the
Century magazine.
He will spend the intervening time
IN Los Angeles, with the exception of
one day spent at Santa Paula, where
he was editor of paper a few years
ago. He goes there to lecture. He
will also lecture before the Friday
Morning club at its next meeting.

Gloomy Prediction by Chicago Pro-

Some Millions of Years
From Date

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 1S.-The human
race will be extinct on this earth in
the course of a few million years, ac-
cording to Prof. Samuel Williston, pro-
fessor of paleontology at the University
of Chicago. The earth will then be
dominated by birds.
1T will only be natural course of
events that will ultimately drive man
from the dominant sphere on EARTH
said Prof Williston. First came the
fishes. They We're dominant for awhile
and had to give way to the amphibians,
Then came the reptiles and soon they
mammals are weakening and the new
est class, the birds, is growing to
prominence and in time, I sincerely be-
lieve, will be the dominant inhabitants
of the earth.
Each of these classes developed to
the highest degree Of specialization and
then began to wane Man is developed
to that degree now and little more
can be expected of him."
Prof. Williston is considered one of
the leading experts in paleontology in
this country and has written several
treaties on evolution.

BANDITS PART Of
ORGANIZED GANG
R0ADH0USE H0LD-UP HERE Isl
EXPLAINED
Police Believe That the Hlghwsymsn
Killed In New Mexico Were
implicated In Crime In
~ Los Angeles

BY the Staying Of two desperate
highwaymen in New Mexico town
Friday night police authorities believe
a blow has been struck at one Of the
most dangerous gangs of yeggmen
which have operated in the west in
many years.
Local detectives are firmly con-
vinced that the dead robbers were the
same who worked Los Angeles a
few weeks ago. That they are only
a part of well-organized band Of
cut-throats infesting the southwest is
the general opinion of the officers.
According 70 a dispatch from Lords
burg, N. NJ, two highwaymen held up
a saloon there Wednesday night and
were located at seper. A deputy
sheriff, accompanied by two aides,
Immediately left for thei place to effect
their capture.
The two men were found asleep in
the cabin of a farmer. who was un-
aware of his guests identity The
farmer led the officers to the room
where the highwaymen were sleeping
and awakened them, at the same time
commanding them to hold up their
hands. The men reached for their
guns, but were shot dead before they
could take aim at the officers.
A few weeks ago the roadhouse a
quarter of mile beyond the East
First street car line was visited Wy
two highwaymen under very much the
same circumstances as the New Mex
leo saloon. A poker game was in
progress between six men, and these
were held up at the point of revolver
and robbed of their money.
The local hold-up was one of the
most daring of its kind ever attempted
in Southern California. The high
waymen entered the room where the
poker game was going on with black
masks on their faces and took each of
the six gamblers by surprise by order
ing them to throw their hands up.
Then they marched the victims to one
side of the room, where they were
made to stand with their faces to the
wall, hands up. One of the robbers
held them at bay with couple of
revolvers while the other searched
their clothing, for money.
The police spent much time on the
local case but failed to locate the high
waymen. At one time they thought
they had good trace of them, but it is
said the clew suddenly vanished.
1t is believed that the men were
members of gang who operate
throughout this section in pairs, meet
ing occasionally at some point in one
of the territories or old Mexico, and
there dividing the spoils. The two
men killed in New Mexico probably
left Los Angeles with the intention of
working" through the territories as
far as their camp wherever that
may be.
From the nature Of many cases that
have come to light in different parts
of this section of the Union recently,
the authorities think there is no ques-
tion but that a regular gang of yegg-
men, the kind who are determined to
kill or be killed rather than surrender
when surrounded, infests the south
west.
