REVEALED By ACCIDENT
Tie-Up of Saturday Arouses Consid-
cradle Discussion of Ccmpany's
Contemplated Action.

The accident at the power house at
the foot of Fourth street, Moline, Sat
urday night with the resulting paraly-
sis of the street car system for prac-
tically two hours. has caused consid-
cradle discussion of the present chang
es being made in the power equipment
of the Tri-City Railway company. The
company is arranging, under the new
merger ownership, to abandon the
power house at Twenty-fOurth street in
this city as a main station, and use
this plant simply as a Sub-station, max
ing the Moline plant the main station.
Violates franchise.
This is in fact violation of the
TrtCity Railway company's franchise
in Rock Island, and the company would
do well to carefully consider the pos
siblc results of such action before ii
goes further with this project
The franchise states that the com
pany is to maintain its power plant in
Rock Island, and does not provide that
it shall manufacture its power else
where, carry it on wires to Rock Is
land, and then reduce it in sub-sta
ton and distribute it over Rock Island
The provision is that the power is to be
manufactured here.
No Trouble Then.
Had the power for the street car cir
cults been provided by the Twenty
| fourth street plant, the accident at the
Moline power house could not have
| tied up the entire street car system
obviously an accident to the boilers a
the Moline plant would not have i'm
paired the battery of steam boilers a
the Rock Island plant
This situation is being much dis
cussed, and the company should con
slider well the action it is taking.

Drive AWAY Ants.

To rid the house of reaches or ants
use a ten cent package of borax, with
ten cents worth of camphor gum.
Grind the gum to a powder and
sSrinkle with the borax. Scatter
around where the reaches and ants
are. They will disappear in a few days.
The first day or two it will set them to
crawling as they are trying to es-
cape. Be sure to sprinkle it around
plentifully the first time and leave
it for several days. When you wash
up be sure to sprinkle more after a
week or two. After the first, or some
times the second time, you can keep
the pests away by using the borax
