PEOPLE APPROVE THE STEP
Factories Cannot be Expected to Lo-
cate Beyond Reach of Facilities
Which the City Offers.

Along with improving the highways
TO the south, making the Rock river
bridges free and securing an interurban
to the lower end of the county, which
all agree should engage the attention
OF the people Of Rock Island on the eve
of the city's Industrial boom. the co,-
slderation Of territorial extension is i'm
pottant. The suggestion of NJ. II. Sex
ton at the recent meeting of the Indus
trial commission at the Rock Islani
Club was timely.
Last spring the people indicated by
their vote nj the city election that they
are III favor of such a step. the propose
ton to annex part of South Rock Island
carrying by Il good majority. The fac
that it has been discovered that the
matter was not at that time properly
presented should not prevent further
Immediate steps in the same direction.
Should Include More.
In renewing efforts to secure an add
ton, the amount OF territory should BE-
made larger than that upon which 4
vote was taken in April The City'S in
dustrial growth will mean that the fiat
southwest of the present limits must be
developed, and this is practically i'm
possible under the present form of GOV
eminent. Before factories locate there
they must be assured of fire protection
means for the disposal Of sewage
street lights. etc, and these cannot be
offered unless the city limits are eX
tended. That Rock Island is anxious to
add territory to the south has been
shown. and i'll view of the great III
crease of property values that will III
eyitably result, there ought to be n
great difficulty in securing enough sic
natures to n petition by property own
ers in the desired area to form a lega
basis for action.

Meat Prices VIII Drop.

No decrease in the price Of meat
is apparent in the local markets
says the Spokesman Review, though
It is more than possible that one will
be felt in the near future. w. w.
Montelth, manager of the Spokane
branch of the Hammond Packing
company, said yesterday: "There
has been a drop In the market price
of hogs In the Chicago market, l see,
and 1t is only likely that we will feel
1t In the price OF meat, but the
branches Of the big packing compa-
nies in Spokane are so far away from
the centers OF production that II is
impossible for them to predict what
the price will be any time in the fu-
ture. OF course we are kept posted
as to any changes In price. but our
quotations may not tally exactly with
those Of the other houses, as one
company may be long on one thing
or short on another and vary the
price accordingly"

Raising Goobers at yakima.


The variety Of products that may
be successfully cultivated In Yakima
soil is increasing In volume constant
ly 1t has been determined by sue
cessful test that peanuts grow to per-
fection IN this soil and climate and
that the yield is large, says the Yaki-
ma Republic. The quality is excel
lent and the "tuber" is unusually
large. Specimens of this years pro-
duct of peanuts are on exhibition In
the window OF the real estate office
of Fred A. Cleveland. They were
raised by Mrs. Rooney, whose farm
Is on the school section. AS many as
two dozen cling to one root of the
vine and they are nearly twice the size
of the imported peanuts. George
Hess has also successfully raised
them and says that they mature early
and grow TO a very large size; that
their quality is excellent and their
leld as large as he ever saw 1t any
where.
As a matter Of fact, the peanut 10
not appreciated generally. 1t is
very nutritious food In many forms,
but preferably as butter 1t is pos
sesses peculiar virtues. For in
stance, It is said that 1t will reduce
the avairdupois Of an overfat person
and add flesh and fat to the lean in
dlvidual. It is conceded to be a most
healthful diet and is frequently rec
commended by physicians to invalids

TO ADOPT ELECTRIC TRACTION.
Italian Government Proposes to Use
II on Its Railroads.

The Italian government proposes to
adopt electric traction to a large ex-
tent upon the railroads in that country
which 1t controls, and parliament late
ly voted a credit Of $4,000, 900 for this
purpose. Among the lines which are
to be changed over may be mentioned
the following: The Milan-Monza-Lec.
co section, which is to be an extension
OF the Valtellina railroad. This Sec
ton, having 80 miles length, will be
operated on the three-phase alternat-
ing system, and the estimated cost Is
81, 100, 900. On the following two lines
the same system will be used. The
Usmate-Bergamo line, which is 16
miles long, Will cost $280,000 to make
the transfer. For the Calolzio-Ponte
San Pietro line, IL miles long, the cost
is estimated at 800. 900. These two
lines are branches of the valtellina
system and will give connection be.
tween Milan, Bergamo and Lecco.
Among the other lines Of considerable
Importance are the Gallarate-Arona
section, 10 miles long, costing $42O,-
900, and the Gallarate- Laverno, 20
miles long, costing $3.50. 1000. Both
these lines are branches. from the al
ready-existing Milan-G allarate line
which take the local traffic between
Milan and Lago Maggiore. They will
use direct current on the third rail-
system such as is now employed. An
important section Of road will be o.
Grated electrically from Domodossola
to Iselle. and 1t will form a part Of
the through railroad from Milan to
Lucerne, being an extension OF the
electric method used on the Simplon
Tunnel road, and will accordingly use
three-phase current. 1t viii cost y4So.-
900 to equip. A part Of the Milan
FIorence-Rome line will be equipped
on the electric system.

army. Lieutenant Grant is a nephew
of Mrs. Potter Palmer of Chicago.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. DR.. Stryker Of Hamilton college,
who was for several years the pastor
Of the Fourth Presbyterian church at
Rush and Superior streets, Chicago,
and who was a college friend of Sec
rotary Of State Root, a friendship that
is to be made the closer by the mar
rage of the secretary's son to the
college presidents daughter.
The tying Of the bonds united two
young people who are very much in
love with each other. There Is not a
whisper in any quarter that position
or name had the least thing in the
world to do with the engagement.
The former Miss Root has always
rather Stunned the gayer life of the

are of domestic inclinations. 1t was

high resistance contact, whenever
there is any connection made at all,
This trouble may be done away with,
says the Popular Mechanics, by de-
parting from the old single contact
vibrator and using M with ~self-clean-
ing contacts as shown. An old bell
magnet is rewound full of No. rs
double cotton-covered wire and is
mounted upon one end of a piece OF
thin sheet iron inc inch by five inches
as per sketch. To the other end OF the
strip Of iron Is soldered a piece or
brass 1854 inch by one-fourth by two
inches, on each end of which has
been soldered a patch of platinum foil
one-fourth inch square.
The whole is connected up and
mounted on a Dashboard as per sketch,
the contact posts being of Lie inch
by one-half inch brass, bent into shape
and provided with platinum tipped
thumb screws. The advantage of this
style of an interrupter is that at each
stroke there is a wiping effect at the
heavy current contact which auto
matically cleans off any carbon de-
post.
