PRESERVING EGGS ~ WATER

RAIL WAY STATION
Davenport Looks for Union Depot
at Cost Of $780,
900.
BURLINGTON AND ST. PAUL
Handsome Structure to Be Erected on
the River Front-Few Blocks
West of Present Site.

Negotiations have developed suffi-
GENTLY to warrant the announcement
that the Burlington and st. Paul rail
roads will join in the erection of a
passenger station in Davenport involv-
ing an expenditure of 100000. The
city council has been approached upon
the subject of the necessary track
changes and the Improvement is looked
forward to by the city across the river
as one of the near future which will
be of great Importance.
On the Levec.
The site of the handsome structure
will be about two or three blocks west
of the present union station on the
levee. The city has felt in need of
this improvement for some time. as
Davenport's Importance as a division
point on the ST. Paul, combined with
the fact that this system is uniting
with the Burlington in its station, has
seemed to warrant this expenditure.
Connected with this announcement
are the rumors that the Northwestern
may be a third company to enter the
new station The /. e l. interurban is
getting options that look like North
western operations preliminary to en-
trance to the tri-cities, but these are
yet clouded somewhat by uncertain
ties

MANY QUEER SIDES TO THE ROCK
ISLAND POSTMASTERSHlP CASE

desires to be consistent as far as the
merit rule is concerned, which he re
CARDS as at stake and to be under as
reasonable a test as could be imagined
Senator Cullom wants to use the pa
tronage of this congressional district
the postoffice department notwith
standing, for the furtherance of his
chances for reelection to his present
seat. He is just now through the
efforts of influences in Rock Is
land. but more particularly through the
work of recognized politicians in Mo-
line believed to be favorable to DR..
Craig, despite the fact that he has al
ways been a political friend and admir-
er of Postmaster Thomas. and vice
versa He may. therefore, unless he
changes his mind and gives his con-
sent to the reappointment of Thomas,
be in a position to dictate the Rock
Island appointment, either through
Congressman Mckinney or otherwise.
Congressman Mckinney is regarded by
local politicians committed to Melon
aid. this also judging f,om the unqual-
flied assertion of the friends of that
candidate who have been expect
ing his appointment for the last IS
days. and the confidence Mr.. Mcdonald
has had is the ultimate outcome of the
contest since it was first discussed. AS
a matter of fact. Mcdonald, although
dis;nclined to discuss the matter for
publication, has indicated his utmost
faith in being named for the office.
Thus develops the most peculiar
phase of the case in view of Senator
Cullom's reported opposition to the reap
pointment of Thomas. The veteran
senator could just as well prevent the
or even the nomination of
Mcdonald as he could that of Thomas.
Mr.. Mcdonald has been all
along. and is regarded as
Yates man. If Senator Cullom goes
to the trouble of blocking the reap
Dointment of Mr.. Thomas. he must do so
in order to land DR.. Craig, whose
friends have worked through him rath-
er than through the congressman, or
he must have made books with Nc
Donald or his friends for the switching
Of that wing in Rock Island county
from the Yates TO the Cullom band
wagon.
AS far as Senator Hopkins, whose
interview heads this article, is concern
ed. he may naturally be expected to
follow his colleague. whose reelection
TO the senate is at stake. What is said
Oy Senator Hopkins of Bucks chances
the circumstances sur
the latter's candidacy, is of
course significant, but not surprising.
A Peoria paper speaking of the can
iidacy of E. II. Buck, and his endorse
nent by Congressman Graft. says the
influence so exerted is due to Postmast-
ar Hull of that city, who is a business
partner of Mr. Bucks son. The paper
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1906-01-22

referred to speaking of the part taken
by Postmaster Hull of Peoria, in the
making of postmaster at Rock Island
says: 1T is no more than to have been
expected that he would desire the faith
er of his business associate named as
the postmaster of Rock Island, and
thus exerted his influence on the Peoria
congressman to get him to butt into
district other than his own, and en-
deavor to distribute some of the plums
which have from time immemorial
been conceded to the congressman of
the district, wherever that congress
man has been in political record with
the administration. This interference
from an outside district has raised the
ire of the Rock Islanders and the en-
dorsement of Mr.. Buck is likely to act
as boomerang on some one"
But what if out of it all would come the
appointment of Olmsted or Bailey. or
one of the other candidates, who, al
though in the field have not been as
prominently discussed as some of the
others.
r. w. Olmsted has returned from
Washington, but has nothing to say
upon the situation except with refer
ence to its uncertainties.
1t is a pretty row that the republi-
cans have gotten into over the APP
pointment, no matter how it turns out.

CHINESE PUZZLES
Found in Primary Law Keeping
the Politicians Busy at
Present.
GETTING SIGNATURES A JOB
Question of Plurality or Majority Nom
nations Is Up to County
Committees.

Politicians are kept busy knowing
what to do and what not to do in con-
nection with the operation of the new
primary law. Petitions of candidates
are flying about promiscuously and
wherever one is brought into promin-
ence the discussions are opened as to
various points in the new enactment.
1t is being found that securing 4 per
cent of the voters of the district the
candidate expects to represent is not
small job for man who has official
duties to occupy his attention.
Plurality or Majority.
Whether the plurality or majority
form of nomination will be adopted by
the county committees is still an open
question and one that is receiving con-
siderable attention. 1t is one that
stumped the legislature so that body
turned it over to the county commit
tees for settlement. and the indica-
lions are that it will be a hot iron for
these organizations to handle One of
the arguments against the plurality
is in the fact that one man
may receive 1000 votes and two oppo-
nentS may receive 999 each. The can
didate with the plurality would be the
nominee on a trifie over one-third of
his party's vote
Goes Into Convention.
With the majority rule in effect a
little manipulation of candidates is al
most certain to throw the contest to
the floor of the convention, where the
delegates will have the opportunity of
the operations seen in the past.

What People See.
To illustrate the difference between
the things different men see in the
same objects, he spoke of the ocean,
regarded by many as merely a great
waste of water, which to Byron was "a
mirror in which the Almighty glasses
Himself at all times; in breeze, in
gale, in storm; figure of eternity; an
emblem of infinity." He told of three
travellers in the Yosemite valley, one
of them seeing the possibility of
