INCREASE IN YEAR
Freight Traffic Here Greater
Than in Last Fiscal
Year.
REPORTS MADE BY OFFICIALS
Business in Rock Island Advances
Steadily, and Manufactures in
Moline Help There.

According to the reports of the yari-
Fous railway freight offices for the fiscal
year the freight traffic both in and out
of this city has shown a healthy in
crease during the year, which ended
June 80. These reports are secret, but
information gained shows that in near
~ every class OF merchandise there has
been an increase both in the incoming
freight and the outgoing. Anthracite
coal is one exception, and the ship
ments of this product are continually
falling off. This is due to the substi
tuition of Kentuck coal for the Penn
sylvania anthracite, the difference in
the price more thalS balancing the
slight difference in the quality of the
two. This decrease in sales in these
western cities, however, is of but slight
Importance in the anthracite market, for
figures show that barely 10 per cent
of the Pennsylvania coal is shipped
west of a line drawn at the eastern
point of the line between Indiana and
Illinois. The territory west of that
line will include Chicago, so the i'm
portance OF this locality in the an
thracite market is slight.
Moline increases Most.
The greatest increases in the freight
handled in the three cities and East
Moline during the year is in Moline.
The difference in the figures of this
year and last is marked in that city,
particularly in those commodities that
enter into the manufacture of nipple
ments and vehicles. The production
of outgoing vehicles and implements
was greater than during the year, and
naturally the amount of material re-
ceived showed a proportionate in
crease.
An estimate of the amount of freight
received and sent from this city dur
ing the year places the business at
1850, 1000 goo pounds, or about 15 cars
on all roads, both ways. daily. The
estimate places the number Of cars
loaded and unloaded here in the year az
between $4,000 and $4,000. These fig
ures do not include the local freight
business, or package and single piece
shipments.

FAILED TO DISCOVER OIL
Drilling at Sand Prairie Resulted Only
in Flow of Water.

Efforts Of Davenport and Clinton
promoters to strike oil or gas at Sand
Prairie, above Savanna, which obtain
ed SO much publicity recently, have
been abandoned. Three wells were put
down to depth of 500 or 900 feet, but
only strong flow of water with some
traces of oil were secured. Owing to
the flow of water and lack of proper
machinery for deep drilling, it was
necessary to cease operations for the
present.
Persons who are familiar with the
conditions existing in the mines there
IRE of the opinion that the oil found
las been squeezed from the oil rock,
which is abundant all over the district.
IN the other hand, there are many who
contend that there is entirely too large
! quantity of oil to be secured in this
way. 1t is believed that if a strong
low of oil is desired holes must be
lrilled to the depth of fully 1900 feet.
md this cannot be done without new
machinery and a large amount of cap
tai.
