call of the chairman advised by the
executive committee.
During the miscellaneous discussion
a number of matters were talked of
without a general expression being Civ
en- or action taken. Some favored a
more extensive platform than the

the aldermanic campaign by the mem
bers in the various wards either
through indorsing candidates already
in the field or by naming new ones.

CITIZENS join IN A MOVEMENT
FOR NON-PARTISANSHIP IN CITY

cussion of the subject of nOn-par-
tisan municipal movement, stating that
as chairman he was prepared to see
that all might have fair hearing.
Michael O'Connor suggested that il
would be well TO have statement of
the objections TO city administration as
il had been conducted in the past. and
&C.. b. Marshall was called upon.
Marshall Opens Discussions.
Mr. Marshall began by saying that
one of the grayest problems connected
with the congregating of people in large
communities is municipal government.
The question appeared TO have been
solved in Europe, where it has taken
hundreds of years to bring about pres
ent conditions. In America it will in
time he disposed of with equal effect
iveness, provided the citizens lay aside
party prejudices and work together
for the common end of honesty and
business principles in administration.
The lack of good government in Rock
Island is Que TO partisanship. Offices
have been given to those whom poll
ticians for their own reasons prefer Ia
have in places of power. Moline has
a better city government than Rock
| Island. because parties To a large eX-
| tent have been eliminated there. The
| history of city governments is one 81
! the exploitation of municipalities by
corporations formed for that purpose
! Franchises are given away, and the
people get little or nothing. There are
no political principles involved i'll deal
! ing with corporations and city affairs
should be taken out of politics. Such
an attempt might not win the first
time. but if persisted in, would event
ually accomplish results.
II. L. Casteel was the next TO eX
press himself. He asserted that il
| those present We're as outspOken a.
they had been at the earlier meeting
there would be little doubt left as Il
| the purpose in assembling. There Were
various ways in which to bring about
| the results that he believed all desired
| Independent men might be nominated
| for office or the worthy candidates O
Che old parties could be endorsed after
| the manner of citizens leagues in som,
of the larger cities. In either case i
would probably eventually put stOr
10 such performances as that of Mon
! day night in the city council room.

stated that he would not be backwar,

closed by pledging his support to an
movement TO make it impossible fo
the Office seeker to continue to thrus
himself into power.
James Mcnamara said that if a move

generally supported, for the time !

Public Condemnation of Monday
Nights Council Act In
tensified
AS FACTS BECOME KNOWN
Course Was Defiance of People in Gen
eral and Labor in Partic-
ular

The Indignation that prevailed all
over the city on gaining information
that the council in direct defiance not
only of public sentiment, but public
protest, had passed the obnoxious Cen
trail Union telephone ordinance, did
not abate when the details of the meet
ing of which the telephone procedure
was part, became known last evening.
Popular feeling was intensified rath-
er than diminished when the public
learned the manner in which the en-
tire proceeding was conducted. Sec
ond only 10 the passage of the fran
chise as a subject of condemnation,
was the haste with which the ordi-
nance was railroaded through The I'M
expected bringing up of the franchise
and the refusal of the aldermen in the
combine 10 consent TO another mo-
ment's delay, involving the mayors
own vote for immediate consideration
when the proposition came up 70 him
on a tie vote. were features heartily
and earnestly denounced.
Knew the Sentiment Full Well.
Inasmuch as the mayor and all the
aldermen. together with other officers
OF the city government. were present
at the meeting called Jointly by the
Rock Island Business Mems associa-
ton and the Rock Island Club, but two
weeks ago. and heard the addresses
and saw the resolutions of protest pass
| by a standing vote, it was not
| thought possible that the council un-
der any consideration. inducement. or
| through any combination of circum-
stances. could become SO boldly and
lrecklessly defiant of public expression
and public sentiment and so inconsiu-
crate of public welfare.
Yet the aldermen who voted for the
| franchise were moved more by the re-
marks of the president of the Central
I Union Telephone company, who came
quietly to town, addressed the council
and disappeared, than they We're by
the honest and emphatic protests OF
the people themselves, who are bound
in the end to foot the bills.

Only Alternative for the Mayor.

In the present status of the case.
there is nothing the mayor can do to
redeem himself from precipitating by
his sanction on the tie vote. the action
of the council Monday night
But if he is wise he will do all that
is in his power now to undo the wrong
so far as the city is concerned-veto
the ordinance.

Pledged Backing 10 Council.

A significant feature of the last meet
ing held on the subject, that the coun-
ell in its zeal TO do the bidding of the
telephone company, lost sight of, was
the fact that the same meeting that
protested against the passage of the
ordinance practically declared it to be
the sense of that meeting that the
council should fight it out 10 the bitter
end with the company, and that it
would be the duty of the people so de-
handing to stand by the city, regard
less of what might be the outcome.
The remarks of w. c. Maucker on this
point, ii will be recalled, were cheered
to the echo.

 FUR 19O6
What Has Been Accomplished In the Way of Mining 0per- ationS at Cole Properties In Warren District.


 The annual report for 1906 of the Calumet & Arizona Mining company and the Superior & Pittsburg Copper company, setting forth the work that has been done at the properties of the concerns at Bisbee, Ariz., have been issued.
 During the year 1906 the Calumet & Arizona company produced 1S,735 tons and 2S4 pounds of of copper Duri ing the same time the Superior & Ptttsburg company produced 4,522 tons and S75 pounds.
 The tie-up of the southern railroads caused a shortage of the supply of fuel oil at the mines and this, accord ing to the reports, in a measure re- tarded the supply which could be had from the Texas fields.
 Much new machinery was installed or contracted for by both concerns. The Calumet & Arizona smelter plant was enlarged and improved in antici- patton Of an increased production from the Superior & Pittsburg, whose ores are treated at that shelter.
 it lOldl lCGt OpSuSu uCFciOp- ment during the year at the Superior & Pittsburg was 40,018 Speaking of development, MT Powell in his report on the Superior & Pittsburg says:
 '"The development for the year 1906 has been very satisfactory Much Of our work has been pioneer work into unexplored territory, and while we have opened up some large and impor- tant ore bodies during the year, the really encouraging feature has been the proving up in every mine of the company that We are in heavily min eralized ground as is shown by the large bodies of copper bearing and leached material developed, this be- ing invariably the capping for the ore bodies of the district
 The most important ore bodies de- yeloped have been on the west side of the Cole shaft, where we have found and developed during the year oxide ore bodies On the Jessie Glen cairn claim on the 1,100-foot level and on the 1,000-foot level of the Sunny side claim. The development of both these ore bodies has been very satis- factory indeed, and they have both reached a stage where they can be placed among the important ore bodies of the camp.
 'The development On the 1,100-foot level from the Cole shaft on the Sun nyside claim in the sulphide ore body has shown the area of the ore body to be very large, and the work on this level shows that the sulphide ore body developed above continues down to this level.
 "A noticeable feature of the work at the Cole shaft has been the opening and widening out of the ore bodies as the stoping has advanced, we are car ryfng all of our stopes today beyond the limits of what we could have req sonably expected a year ago, and have added very materially to the ore re- serve on the property. This is true of all the ore bodies being worked from the Cole shaft.
 The lower level of the Cole shaft is in leached and oxidized ground as far as we have gone, and the shaft is

.GILA VALLEY HAS PRETTY HORSE SHOW Successful Exhibition of Fine EqineS of Stafford and
 Thatcher.

Last Saturday an event occurred in Stafford that was o more importance lhan at first thought one would be led to believe. The Gila valley had its first horse show. From the many re. marks made on the street by old horse men and others wso have seen similar affairs in other places it was great success.
 Many people were surprised that we had such a fine collection of blooded stock, and therein Mes the good that horse shows, faira and like expositions do, says the Guardian. Seeing ami mals. one by one. here and there, one does not realize the difference in the individuals or their numbers. And again, it creates an interest and gives one a standard to live up to. As long as we are satisfied with poor stock we will have it. But we can't satisfy a buyer, coming in here, unless we have the goods. We hope this event will be followed by others, each one showing an improvement. We could add fine bulls, COWS, hogs, chickens and so oa.
 The band led the parade, which marched though the main streets of Stafford. and then lined up on each side of the street in front of the Mad sen livery stable. MT. Bolintho, an agent of Mclaughlin brothers, horse importers of Kansas City, gave a de- scription of the different horses. In the afternoon the show and parade was given at Thatcher, where a large crowd showed their interest.
 Among the horses shown were the following: Three imported black Per cheron stallions and two French coach horses, the property of Me Laughlin brothers; one German coach horse owned at Thatcher; two black imported PercherOn stallions owned by the Gila Valley Percheron Breed CTS association; one black Percheron mare owned in Stafford; one black standard bred Nutwood trOtting stal- lion owned in Stafford. The bay trot- ting stallion, Val Brino. owned in Saf- ford; two thoroughbred running stall lions, one from Thatcher and the oth- CT owned by w. T. Johnson of Saf- ford; a fine black young stallion owned by w. B. Welker; Robert Allen Smith s Jumbo and two of his fine colts were shown. Mir John Madsen, of Stafford, was represented by his sorrel mare and her fine colt Superbus No. 2439. Pete Gillago had his fine grey stallion in line. At Thatcher John BiTdno's bay span and stylish turnout were shown. There were many others in line all deserving of mention. There were no blue ribbons given or other awards as this was not to see who had the best, but to help all.
