ROCK ISLAND, TOO
Join Burlington and St. Paul in
Revising Rate to Mil
Waukee.
ON SAME BASIS AS CHICAGO
ST. Paul to improve Equipment on
North and South Route-Bur-
.ngton's New Cars.

Commercial Agent E. L. Golf OF the
Rock Island, is advised that the rate on
the first five classes of freight between
the tricities and Milwaukee will be on
the same basis as the rate between
Rock Island and Chicago, thus disprov-
ing the statements made that the Rock
Island would not grant this concession.
The rates were recently reduced in
Illinois by the state railway and ware
house commission, and since that time
the question has arisen whether the re-
duced rate would apply beyond the
state line. The Burlington and the
St. Paul have both applied the Chicago
rate to shipments between the three
cities and Milwaukee, and inorder to
meet the competition, the Rock Island
viii apply a like rate. The Rock Is
lands rate is made by means of an
agreement with the Northwestern. The
rate is based on the Illinois classified

The village Of Stsmbsugh wants "a
take in more territory. To that end a
petition, signed by the president and
clerk OF the village, was presented TO
the board of supervisors last week,
praying that outlying territory which
would include the Baker, Hoolihan,
Caspian. Dober and Hiawatha mines
and the territory along Carnegie avenue
south OF Iron River village. be an.
nexed,
The petition was referred back 10 the
village authorities want of regularity,
the irregular portion Of IL being that
IL was not certified to be petition
from the conncil OF the village Of
Stambuagh and that there was no
affidavit on tile 10 show that IL had
been published as required by law.
The reason given for expansion Is
the necessity of getting in more ter
ritory so as To provide a waterworSs
system.
Another matter taken up by the
board was the purchase of an iron
bridge to span the Paint river on the
new Amasa- Bates road. The committee
was given authority 10 close a contract
for bridge in the sum Of f3, $50 with
the Joliet Bridge company and IL is
the intention of the company to erect
the bridge the coming winter. The
iron will probably be delivered at Iron
River and hauled from that station on
sleighs.
About the only additional business
transacted was the allowing OF claims.

RAILROAD COMPANY
DEMANDS MUCH
SAY CITY MUST PUT IRON PIPE
q. UNDER TRACKS.
TO ORDER II OUT At WILL
Proposition Submitted TO the Council
thought Very Arrogant by Council
and Officials.

The q. a. N. w. railway company
and the city have locked horns over
the passing Of the sewer pipe under
the tracks at the lower Superior avenue
crossing. The railroad company sub
mitted proposition last week by
which Il will allow the city 10 lay the
pipe under the tracks provided all the
conditions OF the submitted license is
lived up 10 by the city and one OF the
propositions Is that iron pipe he used
under the tracks Another provision
is that the railroad company has
the right TO cause the sewer TO be tax
en- out at It's option.
The matter came before the council
and the terms OF the proposition were
considered very arbitrary. However,
the council was not disposed to take
apy..hasty action and referred the mat
ter 10 q committee Of which Engineer
Bradbury is a member.
The point where the sewer is TO cross
the tracks OF the company Is at the
lower Superior avenue crossing The
pipe IL 36-inches In diameter at that
point and IL is the intention of the city
10 put In the 36-inoh concrete pipe that
Is being made on the ground for that
especial purpose.
If the city IL compelled to put in
iron pipes the cost win be increased
enormously and then in addition will
be the delay in getting the pipe as IL
is impossible 10 get any iron product
in hurry nowadays
The attitude Of the railroad com
pany, however, did not stop work on
the sewers Mr. Hurkman attacked
the portion 81 the ditch passing under
the railroad tracks last Wednesday and
has been hammering along ever since
An there were no specifications
Strary to those which the city pro-
poses which is 10 put in the concrete
pipe and 10 fill tho balance Of the ditch
with solid bed VI concrete.
This arrangement seems 10 meet the
approval Of all who have given the
matter any Thought and il is consider
ed better proposition than TO put in
the iron pipe by many.
Mr.. Hurkman informed reporter
for the Diamond Drill last Wednesday
that he expects 10 complete the super
Tor avenue sewer this fall He says
that after the railroad track is crossed
he will continue mp the avenue instead
~ turning of to form connection
with the Crystal Avenue line unless the
city approves Of the concrete pipe
manufactured since the cold weather
set in and unless there Is enough Of
this size pipe to take him through to
the end,
II is not likely that the engineer viii
pass favorable upon the pipe in ques-
tion and IL is almost certainty that
not enough 3G-inch pipe can be secured
