WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US.

The Muskogee Cimeter issued
Il special Christmas illustrated
edition which was a very credit
able number. The Cimeter is
one of the leading papers Of the
South published by Negroes, in
the interest of that race, and
the fact that it is i'm its seventh
year indicates that it is prosper
Gus and has come to stay. w.
II Irvine, a local attorney, is
the editor and while at times
he is more vigorous than ele-
giant in expressing his opinion,
on the whole he is doing a good
work for the co lore q man
Phoenix.

THE MERCER DEAL
Tangible Evidence of Disposition
of Tri> City Utility Stock
Hourly Expected.
THAT NEW JERSEY COMPANY
Said to Be Merely the Holding Cor
poration-The Walsh In
terests.

This is the day eagerly looked for
ward to by the local holders of stock
as that on which the Tri-City Railway,
Peoples Power, Peoples Light, Daven-
port & Suburban, Davenport Gas, and
Mississippi Valley Traction companies
would pass into the hands of the new
Tri-City Railway & Light company.
Local stockholders had expected to re-
ceive checks today for their shares
sold at a handsome premium and the
new management was TO have taken
hold all around.
So far as is known none of these
things have as yet actually taken place,
although there is nothing to alter the
impression that tho deal has been con-
summated. Those who have been ac-
lively conducting the negotiations
from this end are still out of the city
basy ostensibly with the details. 1t
is evident that there proved to be more
of these than were anticipated, but
there is nothing to indicate that any
serious obstacle has been encountered
In Davenport j. w. Walsh, manager
OF the Davenport Gas company, and
illGIeStCu Ill Tic SNtIlJOlJ G. OuDuL-
ban has broken his silence by the an
nouncement that the part of the deal
involving these two companies will be
completed tomorrow and the money
paid over. E. c.. Walsh and NJ. a.
Walsh are now enroute to New York
where they will close the transfer. Chi
cago is the basis of the negotiations
for the other concerns.
To Hold stock Pending Action.
1t is announced in Davenport that
but IS per cent of the purchase price
for at least part of the corporations
will not be paid at once, the remainder
being held till the city legalizes the
transfer of the franchises. This pro
cedure may be followed on this side
also.
1t is reported in some quarters that
the New Jersey corporation known as
the Tri-City Railway & Light company
IS to be merely holding company, pat
termed after the Northern Securities
company or the holding company of the
Rock Island road, and that the local
properties will be conducted under sep
arate titles, as now.
May BE of Much Significance.
As according to those prominent in
the old companies much good will come
to the tri-cities, much of the money
received by local stockholders be-
ing reinvested here in develop
ing and industrial enterprises that will
be of great and lasting benefit to the
community, the deal is expected to
prove of extraordinary significance. Of
the intentions of the new owners, fur
Their than what has been promised for
them to invest large sum in better
ments as soon as practicable, expert
ence and the development of events
alone can tell.

CALL A MEETING

Tomorrow Night
AT THE ROCK ISLAND HOUSE
To Endeavor to Reach Intelligent An
alysis to Present to the
Public.

| The committee of the Rock Island
Retail Merchants association ON the
| telephone situation, composed of +. T..
Meyers, F. w. Young, Ralph Lamont
and w c. Maucker, has called a meet
ing of the members of the association
at the Office of w. c. Maucker, rating
secretary of the association, on the
at O'Clock tomorrow evening TO go
over the subject and determine what
course is best to pursue in the inter
est of telephone users.
| The committee urges a full attend
ance of members in the notice sent
out today and in order to accommodate
all who may attend. Mr. Maucker has
arranged for the use OF the hall on the
second floor of the hotel should it be
| required. The committee, after con
ferring with numerous of the members
OF the association has found that the
disposition is that the association hear
the report of its own committee and
discuss the situation among it's men,
bers. and thus if possible gain the in
formation for an intelligent analysis of
the existing conditions before present
ing the side of the subscribers to the
public.
AS the outcome of the meeting.
general meeting in which all telephone
users and citizens generally will be ex-
pected TO participate and to which the
| representatives of the telephone COM
, pany may be invited, may be deter
mined upon.
Business Mems Views.
One of the leading members of the
association and one of the most repre-
sentative business men of the city in
conversation in speaking of the subject
TO an Argus reporter this morning
said: The latest developments on the
| telephone question in New York and
Chicago. involving the warning that
has been sent from New York TO Mayor
Dunno of Chicago that the city should
be guarded about being gold-bricked in
the matter of telephone franchises has
aroused feeling that extreme caution
| should be taken in whatever is done in
Rock Island. Everything that goes into
| that ordinance must be clear. There
must be no hidden meaning that can
be taken advantage of afterwards. For
my part l consider the rate question
all absorbing at the present stage OF
the proceedings. We could afford to
surrender the franchise tax and the 10
telephones the company proposes to
give the city, which will not benefit
the subscribers as a class if we can
have the rate classe concise and def
mite.
Want Ordinance Thoroughly Understood
I'VE want the ordinance thoroughly
understood. If it is all right in its
present form, well and good. If not,
the essential safeguards for protection
of the public should be provided for
The council has had the benefit u ed
ucation and familiarity with the sub
ject. The people who use telephones
want the benefit of the same know

Fearless Swim mers.

In the water the Hawaiians are alb
solutely fearless. AS soon as they can
walk, little babies are taken to bathe
In the sea, and in very short time
they are able to swim like porpoises.
The author of Hawaiian Yesterdays"
gives a reminiscence of the courage Of
the natives.
Our party had arrived in Hilo Bay,
and we were all seated upon the plat
form of big double canoe. padding
ashore from the schooner which lay out
In the harbor. A throng of natives
lined the beach, waiting to welcome
their returning teachers.
Just as we were entering the surf
that rolled upon the sandy shore,
through some accident the canoes sud-
denly filled and sank, leaving us all
sitting half-submerged in the shallow
water. With loud roar Of "Auwe -
(Oh and Alas y the assembled crowd
rushed as one man into the waves and
bore us safely to land.
On one occasion, about the same date,
a coasting vessel was upset In a vio-
lent squall between the islands of Ha-
wall and Maui. Although the nearest
land was twenty miles distant, the ma
tive crew and passengers boldly struck
out to swim ashore; and several Of
them did come safe to land after a
night and day in the deep.
Among the survivors Of the wreck
was a poor woman who for several
hours swan with her husband upon
her back; but the poor man died Of cold
and fatigue, and had to be abandoned
at last before the coast was reached.
