OUT FOR MEETING
Tri-City Posts of G. A. r. Intend
to Try for National Encamp-
ment of 1909.
HOLD SESSIONS AT ARSENAL
Local Attractions Are Many and the
Three Cities Could Easily Ac-
commodate the Veterans.

The tri-eities may have. the distinc-
tive honor of entertaining thel 1909
encampment of the national g. A. r.
if the plans of prominent members of
the organization in the three cities
are realized. 1t has been sug-
sested in The Argus heretofore
that the encampment could be held
at Rock Island arsenal and the SEES
sions be held in the big store house
at the west end 1t is thought that no
difficulty would be experienced in get
ting the permission of the federal gov
eminent for the use of the island by
its old soldiers.
The three cities. with population
of over 100000, are equal in size to
many of the cities in which past en-
campments have been held, and
would be well able to Jointly accommo-
date the vast throng which would I'M
'doubtedly attend. The large hotels -
the three cities number eight, while
there are several smaller ones, and
many private homes would be open
for the entertainment of the veterans
hNlli5 iIlS
Have Many Attractions.
The locality has many attractive
points which would bring to the ses-
sion G. A. r. members who otherwise
might not attend the encampment.
The fact that the sessions could be
held on the island-at present the lite
of one of the two largest arsenals in
the country; at the time of the civil
war, the site of one of the largest
northern prisons; and in the first de-
cades of the last century a historic
Indian point-would in itself appeal to
the veterans. Nor is the surrounding
country devoid of historic interest,
and the Watch Tower and Campbel's
island would be visited by many who
would be glad of an opportunity to
view these historic spots. The scenic
beauty of this section would also be
an argument and the Mississippi
river would likely afford a route for
la pleasure trip for many of the veter-
ans before they would return to then
homes.
j. Worth Pushing.
The idea of holding the encamp-
ment here has been advanced only as
a suggestion, but is being taken up
with fond hopes by the members of
the local posts. AS the project has
chances of success it is worthy al
pushing and a joint invitation from
the three posts presented at the en-
| Campment at Toledo, Ohio, in Sep
TENDER, backed by a presentation OF
the attractions of the locality. may
meet with ready acceptance.
1t has for some time been the am
bition of-ttis community to entertain
the encampment of the G. A. R., and
the plan now discussed may be the
means of realizing that ambition and
the attainment OF that honor.
