At the time of the merger of tri-city
public utilities by eastern capital when
the control of all properties passed by
purchase from the companies that had
developed them and brought them Up
To a stage of perfection far in advance
of most cities of this class, it was an
nOunced by the purchasers that ii
would be the policy not only to main
tain the standard of the former own

The people were assured that rs
soon as the new holding corporation
could perfect its plans for the physical
reconstruction of all properties. it
would give to the public the most ap-
proved facilities in transportation and
the best service possible in light and
power at rates reduced as far as com
patible with the cost of service.

outlined and the cost approximated.
and upon this basis the general plan
OF reorganization was perfected. In
Davenport the new company found
many complications to overcome. Ow-
ing TO the taking on of different prop
critics and il is because of the time
unavoidably consumed in adjusting the

delay has occurred in making known
to the public the definite plans agreed
upon. II was the original expectation,
of the company, so The Argus is in
formed, to be in a position to make
known it's program by Sept. l last, but
new obstacles arose. and then it was
the purpose to make formal announce

The President on Foreign Soil.

For the first time in the history of
the United States the chief executive
has gone beyond the confines of our
country and has set foot on foreign
soil. The Panama canal was the i'm
mediate purpose and motive of the
visit. In 1853 was the first time the
public had an opportunity to test the
merits of the famous Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, but since then it has
established an unequaled record of
cures of stomach. liver and bowel dis
orders. In June, 1906, the pure food
and drug commissioners passed their
famous pure food bill, and the fact
that the bitters upon analysis was
found TO be compounded strictly in ac-
cordance with its provisions proves it
TO be safe medicine to cure indiges-

ness. colds, female ills or maIarial
