Rumor Revived That Davenport

FOR MUSCaTINE INTERURBAR
Object TO Take This City's Trade With
Lower End of the County Away
Big Plans Afoot.

Davenport capitalists are working
steadily with the object OF makin.,
hat city the center OF an interurbal
system radiaring 10 Muscatinc on the
southwest, Iowa City on 5he west and
Maquoketa. Monticello and Dubuque
on the north At recent meetings re
ports have been made that an eastern
company has agreed to finance the
proposed roads up to 50 per cent Of
their total capitalization. Every as
suranCe is given that company viii
be formed in the near future and con
structions in one or two directions
viii be undertaken
It seems probable that the line TO
Muscatine will be he first to receive
attention In relation TO this there
have been Teviyals of the rumor that
it is the intention to come TO this side
of the Mississippi instead of keeping
on the Iowa side in connecting with
the down river city. 1t is reported
that a plan has been under considers
ton to build bridge across the river
with the line to Suburban isle as a
connecting link. and pass through
Rock Island county. tapping the rich
farming country now tributary TO Rock
Island and recrOss into Iowa on the
Muscatine high bridge.
So Much Gained.
Such a road, it is argued, would give
Davenport a territory for trade that
now deals with Rock Island alone.
while Muscatine would receive CORE
spending benefits on the other hand
Such an interurban would not have t.
compete in so direct manner witt
the Rock Island and Milwaukee roads
as it would were it built on the Iowa
side of the river.
Though the expense of crossing the
river would be great, rumor has it
that the Davenport business men and
capitalists believe that the extra out
lay is justified. for with such road
the lower end Of Rock Island county
would be brought actually closer to
Davenport than to Rock Island, much
more so in the absence of any railway
line connecting with this city By cut
ting this city out entirely, Davenport
would benefit greatly and directly a
the expense of Rock Island.
Bridging the channel from Subur-
ban isle would be practically the only
extra expense, for the Muscatine high
bridge is said TO be strong enough tc
carry interurban cars
should Take Notice.
While Rock Island may not perhaps
be seized with panic at the thoughts
of so aggressive a move as this on the
part of Davenport, the mere fact that
such a thing is being talked of ought
to cause those who have the welfare
Of the city at heart TO sit up and take
notice. AS has been so frequently
pointed out this city is handicapped
naturally in getting country trade with
but one narrow outlet that it can
claim exclusively. Moline is steadily
crowding in on this from the east and
it would be extremely humiliating, to
say nothing of the material effect, ifI
Davenport, by an invasion of the west

trading area that it now has.

cease to push the electric road project

LABOR IN THE SOUTH.

The Iron Age discusses editorially
"the labor problems of the SOUTH" and
finds labor in great demand in Dixie.
Theer is want of labor in cotton mills,
mines and agriculture. The negro is
said to be inefficient "Notoriously,"
says the Age, 'the negro workman of
the south is spoiled by prosperity. Al
vancing his wages has generally the
tendency to make him more of an idler.
since at higher wages his wants are
supplied by fewer days of labor. The
much was heard in the early days of
iron manufacture there, has been
proved to be myth. Southern labor
has never been cheap when measured
by its productive power. A further
handicap, and one that will always eX-
list, is found in climatic conditions.
Northern men going into the south to
take managerial or engineering posts
tons in the iron trade testify to the
enervating effect of the climate. Not
only must the manager trained in the
north draw on his energies to bring his
men up to a fair performance, but he
must fight the deadening effect of tina
southern pace and the southern atmos-
phere upon his own ambition. Event
ually in nine cases, and perhaps more,
out of ten the northern pace gives
way" 1t is here held that the climate,
tends to lessen the pace" in the south.
Possibly something is due to moral
causes and views of life generally Is
not "the northern pace sometimes too
fast?

Railroad Experiences in East Africa


The lions Of East Africa appear to
be watching the progress of civilization
with deepest interest and nothing has
done more to arouse their curiosity and
wonder than the trains on the Uganda
railroad.
This railroad, from the Indian ocean
to Victoria Nyanza, is 584 miles long
and between the terminal points are 80
stations. The line is managed on the
system of the Indian railroads, and
most of the men i'll the track. train
and station service are East Indians.
The Indian station agent is known as
babu and he leads a lonesome life
Simba, for example, where lions have
been making a special study of the

and side track, this being one of the
stations where trains pass each other
on the single track road.
The trouble began at Simba eleven
months ago. when the traffic manager
