Iowa state bystander. [volume] (Des Moines, Iowa) 1894-1916, 1906-07-13

We belong TO the grumbling race.
We are always complaining of what
somebody is doing to us. We CON
tinue to stand on the street corners
and in the bar rooms and barber
shops complaining of somebody
doing something TO us, Somebody
is always taking something from us
We think that after II years of free
dom and education that it is time
that we were getting cut Of this old
rut The fellow who is alwa, S
complaining about somebody being
after him. is simply advertising for
somebody to come after him. The
fellow who imagines he is going TO
die will die any how from fright,
Now let us look at our selves and
see if the fault is not in us, or at
least part of it any ,how.-The
Negro Criterion.

Rock Island Improvements.

Superintendent Jones of the Rock
Islands Iowa division yesterday
morning announced that his COM
pany has approved plans for i'm
provements on the main line
between Davenport and Council
Bluffs that will necessitate the
expenditure of 81 $50, 900 during the
next six months, and work upon
which is now being started. Fifty
miles of road will be treated to new
ballast which will necessitate the
employ ment of several trains
during the greater portion of the
summer season. This work will be
done between Newton and Colfax,
Bonneville and Earlham, and Menlo
and Atlantic. On the main line
225, 900 new oak ties will be put in
position and several miles of track
will be laid with new steel. Two
steam shovels will also be employed
during the season on widening of
cuts and fills. Dirt removed from
cuts will be used on fills where
needed to widen them 80 that the
track may carry heavier and wider
ballast. Another important item
will be the building at different
points of about $4,000 rods of new
fencing. About $500 yards OF
crushed stone is to be used for
rlprapplng entertainments in
danger of overflow from streams.
1t has also been decided that all
