Congressman Mckinney of Aledo,

asked for the first Greater Rock Island

that he should have it on condition
that he wear it wherever he went and

given by the Rock Island Industrial

promised. and was given a button,

the Industrial commission takes this

With the funds in the hands of sucn

power of the 100000 will be far greater
than the 100000 in itself.
In the meantime it will be interesting

the commercial organizations and city

the time oppOrtune for the three cities
to obtain substantial benefits from a
visit of the president. He expressed
the belief that, if properly approached,
President Roosevelt and the waterways
commission members can be induced to
come here. Continuing, he said that in
his opinion the inland waterways are
soon to become great arteries of trade
and also silent regulators of railway
freight rates.
Moline Mayor Talks.
Mayor Olson of Moline expressed him
self as heartily in accord with the idea
that the river would become an active
influence in commerce "To secure the

appropriations come ana visit us and

this showing is more than gratifying. |
Since Saturday several large subscrip- |
tons have been added to the list, and |
these with other smaller ones will swell |
the total materially, but these have not
been officially reported yet. OF the
amount received up to noon Saturday,
the largest single subscription was that
made by L. S. McCabe G. Co., whose
contribution to the fund was $500.
The other subscriptions range from
that down to 500.
Anxious to Subscribe.
Today several men who feared that
they had been overlooked by the execu-
tive committee when the lists were pre-
pared, called at the office of the Indus
trial comm mission and requested Will
liam M. Reck, the chairman of the OK
ecutive committee, for subscription
blanks, which were promptly signed,
With such a spirit in evidence, the fund
will grow in proportions rapidly until
the full 100000 is secured.
Show Public Spirit.
The canvass for this subscription
qives Rock Island citizens an opportuni-
ty to exhibit the public spirit which is
so essential to municipal advancement.
1t was such public spirit that has pIac-
ed Seattle, Spokane, Los Angeles, and
kaa,r
among municipalities. The cities man,
ed are only d few of the better known
examples where the citizens have put
their shoulders to the wheel and been
successful in the determination to make
their city greater.
Needed In Boom Country.
AS an evidence that system attic boost.
ing is needed even in cities located in
the boom country, is shown by a letter
received by The Argus from w. 3. Kill
mer, a former resident of this city
who has located in Tulsa, !. T. M.
kiIImer writes in relation to the $780,
600 project, information of which he
gained from the columns of The Argus.
He tells Of the efforts that Tulsa has
made along these lines. and how the
population has increased from 1900 to
1900 in four years. Incidentally Mr..
kiIlmer says he expects to return to
Rock Island and make his home here
again.
Used Land Proposition.
A part of MIR. KlImer's letter is OF
particular interest because it refers
to plan already being considered here
and which will perhaps later be adopted
by the trustees of the 100000 fund

that Bob would fall head over heels
in love with this beautiful, sorrow
laden girl, and it was soon obvious
that the longdelayed shaft had plant
ed it's point in the innermost depths
of his being. His was more than love;
a fervid idolatry now had possession
of his soul, mind and body. Yet its
outward manifestations were the op-
posite Of what one would have looked
for in this gay and optimistic south
erner. It was rather priest-like wor-
ship, calm imperturbability that
nothing seemed to distract or upset,

what the trading was based on until

CHAPTER ii.

The following week saw Miss Sands,
OF Virginia, private secretary to the
head of Randolph & Randolph, estab.
lished in little Office between mine
and Bob's. She had not been there
day before we knew she was worker.
She spent the hours going over re-
ports and Analysing financial state
ments, showing sagacity extraordi-
nary in so young person. She ex-
planned her knowledge of figures by
the hand-work she had done for the
Judge, all of whose accounts she had
kept. Bob and I saw that she was
bent on smothering her memory In
that antidote for all ills of heart and
soul-work. Her Office life was sim.
plicity itself. She spoke to no one ex-
cept Bob, save in connection with such
business matters Of the firms as I
might send her by one of the clerks
to attend to. To the others in the
banking house she was just an uncon-
ventlonal young literary woman whose
high social connections had gained her
this opportunity of getting at the Sc
C1elS VI uuduCe, IRON actual expert
ence, for use in forthcoming novels. It
had got abroad that she was the writer
OF great distinction who, under a nom
de plume, had recently made quite a
dent in the worlds literary shell-a
suggestion that I rightly guessed was
one of Bob's delicate ways of smooth
ing out her path. I had tried in every
way to make things easy for her, but
it was impossible for me to draw her
out in talk, and finally gave it up.
Had it not been that every time I
passed her Office door I was compelled
by the fascination which I had first
felt, and which, instead of diminishing,
had increased with her reticence, to
look in at the quiet figure with the
downcast eyes, working away at her
desk as though her life depended on
never missing a second, should not
have known she was in the building.
My wife, at my suggestion, had tried
to induce her to visit us; in fact, after
I let her into just enough of Beulah
