holding a conference with officials of

probable that the Mississippi Valley

the company does not provide the ser

UPPER END PHONE
WAR IS NOW ENDED
Crescent Company and independents
Unite to Build a Trunk
Line.

For some years there has been war
fare on between the rural telephone
companies of the upper end of the
county, the Crescent Telephone com
pany, having 430 subscribers being on
one side and the Independent with
about 200 on the other. Now the
Ratchet has apparently been buried,
the Crescent company having indorsed
at the annual meeting a proposition to
unite with the Independents in the con
struction of a trunk line between Port
Byron and Hillsdale. The Independ-
ents will build it, but the Crescent peo
pie will share the expense, an assess
ment of $3.50 a share having been lev
led by the latter. This will give much
better service in the upper end of the
county and facilitates connection from
the extreme limits of the county with
Rock Island and Moline. The Crescent
company recently connected with the
lines of the Central Union at Moline
and scent service is now provided.
The Crescent company has elected
the following officers:
PreSident-W. H. WhiteSide
Vice President-John Schaffer
Secretary-A. A. Matthews
Treasurer-R. l.. Burchell.

Abandon Yards.
Yesterday the Natick yards were
abandoned entirely, the Office and yard
forces being removed to Silvis. Silvis,
with the removal of the east bound
yard business yesterday, became the
division point of the three divisions,
the Illinois, the Iowa, and the Nilsson
ri, for freight trains. and all of the
freight business of the road is to be
handled there hereafter. Silvis has
been the division point for all west
bound freight trains since Nov. 1S,
the east bound traffic being handled at
Natick until yesterday. Between 300
and 400 trainmen are affected by the
change in the division point, but only
those who reside in Rock Island and
Moline are inconvenienced by the
change If the men are provided with
means of transportation between the
two cities and Silvis, the inconvenience
viii be reduced to a minimum.
Postpone Meeting.
Notice was received this morning by
the local outside representatives of the
Rock Island that the meeting which
was to have been held at Kansas City

will be held Thursday of next week in
stead. Plans had been made by the
representatives of the tri-
cities, Minneapolis, Cedar Rapids, Peo-
ria, and Chicago, to meet in Rock Is
land Monday morning. and leave here
for Kansas City on No. 20. The gather
ing in Rock Island will be on Wednes-
day instead.
