tain facts connected with the development
Of a somewhat similar project in ST. Paul,
MINI. Several years ago Dr. Juatus Ohsge
health oficer OF the Minnesota city. pur-
chased on hts own responsibility an island
IN the river. Immediately on announce
ment being made Of what he intended TO
do with It. DR.. Ohage was offered a big
advance for his bargain He declined the
offer. but transferred the island TO the city
at the price he paid. The city and public
spirited citizens pushed the project in ear
nest and today the city provides a fund Of
$4,000 a year for the keeping up OF Harriet
island. II IL public playground, is open
TO picnics and public gatherings Of all
kinds, is the home OF various public service
institutions such as day nursery. and Is
noted far and wide for its public bath
In 1900, the opening year, 5000 people
took baths at Harriet island. In 1905, 49,. t57
bathers were accommodated, and the In
come was s6.925, although the charges are
very small. This year, up TO September s.
the number avsiling themselves Of the
baths was 2e2, s22. and the receipts were

months. Today the one-time useless island
is practically self-supporting through the
bathing privilege. to say nothing Of the
other phases OF this city breathing spot

ohage's island is not only q great public
utility. controlled by the city for it's peo-
pie, but is one OF the few places OF that
character that is being talked OF by
philanthropic workers throughout the land
Harriet island was acquired by st. Paul
through the liberal provisions OF a home
rule character. and its approaches were
secured by condemnation, while its beauti-
fcation and extension are being made pos
sible by that same character From dead
and unsightly piece of property 1t has be-
come a beauty spot and a priceless asset
Of the city. Cut-On lake and it's surround

than the so-called island at st. Paul. The

Good Results i'm Lung Trouble

Mrs. Victor A. Beaucaire, O. promi-
nent club woman Of Chicago, Ill, con-
tracted severe cold from being ex-
posed in bad weather which resulted
in serious lung trouble. A ~
Mrs. Beaucaire, after taking several
doses of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey,
says it helped her wonderfully,
brought the color to her cheeks, and
that she would not be without it.
She pays a high tribute Ia the worlds
greatest tonic stimuIant in the following
letter:
'As. j am member of the Hull
House Women IS Club, Twas called out
many times when the weather was
very bad and so caught very hard

ROCK ISLAND STILL FIGHTS
BOyOOttsd Road Kicks Against the PnOk,
10 Hurt Omaha
PUHPostLY DELAYS SHIPMENTS OF GRAIN
Car IL BiIIed at AIvo. Cass County,
Nearly Three Weeks AGO
and H. Not Here

That the Rock Island is taking retslia-
tory action on Omaha for having estab-
lished a boycott against that road Is be-
coming evident to the men Of the Omaha
Grain exchange.
In some cases the grain men are com
PEELED to ship grain 10 Omaha over the
Rock Island. for the reason that no other
road reaches certain stations, but all are
relieiously refraining from giving that road
any OF the outbound business. A member
OF the exchange bought a car Of corn at
Alvo. Neb which IL in Cass county, and
his experience with the road in this matter
he recites In the following letter to the
Grain exchange. dated September IL:
Dear sir--on August as we had billed to
" from Alvo, Neb.. Burlington. Cedar Rap
ide 4 Northern car No. 0S2S. loaded with
corn. We have taken the matter up with
the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific two or
three different times to obtain some infor-
ment, but they have failed to give us any
reply. We today received letter from
the shipper, whom we asked to have It
their track at Alvo.
| give you this information to show the
disposition OF the Chicago, Rock Island Z.
may be the boycott has resulted in giving
them so much outside business they are
unable to haul shipments TO Omaha.
shouiu Have Come In Two Days.
The consignee in this case says the car
should have been here in one day, or two
ut the outside, and yet in two weeks IL
had not left the track where II was loaded
In his estimation this action shows that the
Rock Island, in addition to making rates
In favor OF Kansas City as against Omaha,
II seeking to discourage by means of de-
lay all business for Omaha
Shaffer g. Co., who are operating the
Rock Island transfer elevator at Council
BLUFFS, have not yet made formal APP
plication for membership in the exchange
Whether or not they Will deem 1t ad.
visable to apply Is a question, for the
sentiment OF the exchange seems to be
against them. The local agent OF the
company approached q member Of the ex.
change after the Rock Islands action In
the Aivo matter became known, and made
him a bid above the market for some corn
The man replied that ne wouldn't consider
q bid from the Rock Island concern IL II
was cents above the market price.
The grain men do not deny that shaffel
& Co. are getting some business, though
It has not yet assumed large proportions
Tuesday and Wednesday, which were the
first days the elevator was in operation
q number OF cars was brought in from con.
Meeting roads and transferred to the Rool
