Goes MERELY ON
Preparations for Rock Island
EXPOSITION Aided by
Fine Weather.
GROUNDS RAPIDLY CHANGED
Business Men Boosting and Every
body Determined to Make Affair
Biggest Ever Seen Here.

Another busy week. with fine
weather prevailing, has seen great
progress made in the preparation Of
the Exposition park for the Rock
Island exposition. which will be held
Sept 2S-Oct. 3. Manager E. w. Lewis
has handled his forces with good eff
feet and already the grounds are TAX
ing on a very different appearance
from that of an ordinary race track
moved and new ones are being put up
at rate that insures the completion
of the last detail we'll in advance of
the date of opening.
People generally may not realize
that the exposition is TO be perma-
nent thing and that the directors
who are making arrangements are
therefore doubly anxious that the first
one be a Big success. Even if
through bad weather, which is
the only contingency, the first
years returns should not pay
expenses it is figured that the repu-
tation gained will rebound to the
credit of the city and will help in
crease the, patronage in succeeding
years. But there is no reason to feal
lack of adequate returns the first year
for reports are coming in that indicate

will be enormous. And everybody is

LIFT IS GIVEN
TO A WORTHY
INSTITUTION
Spirit Of Industrial Oevelo pment
Carried Out in Booster
Loan.
TOOL COMPANY is AIDED
Enabled to Erect a $4,000 Factory
Building in the West
End.

Twenty thousand dollars of Greater
Rock Islands industrial development
fund was placed this afternoon by the
trustees composing the custodians of
the $4,000 where it will do the most
good possible for the purposes for
which it was subscribed.
The trustees, in session at the Rock
Island club, approved the recommends
ton of the board of control of the Rock
Island Industrial commission that a
loan of $4,000 be made the Rock Is
land Tool company for the erection of
a factory building in the west end fac.
tory district. The appropriation thus
made is not gift or a bonus, but
10-year loan to enable the industry to
establish itself and give employment
to the number of men now needed TO
manufacture its output. The loan is
amply secured and is to be paid back
| in annual installments.
Means Big Help.
| BY means of this help the tool COM
pany, which has been handicapped by
| having two different plants widely sep
arated, will be able to consolidate and
spring to its feet and take rank among
| the most important industries of the
three cities. The company, which is
one of the newest of the Rock Island
| factories fostered by the Industrial
commission, is already one of the most
promising and best known. The de-
mand for its manufactures has been
for some time greater than the ca
pacity of the plants to accommodate.
All that has been needed is a plant of
its own. With this end in view the
company recently purchased of the
Fries estate three acres of land situa-
ted Immediately adjacent to the new
west end factory district and near the
plant of the Standard Oil Cloth COM
lpany.
VIII Build at Once.
The tool company will at once erect
"a building of proper dimensions 10
care for its business, including a large
foundry, planning to complete it this
fall, and when it is done will afford
immediate employment to $50 to 200
men. The loan acquired today is to be
lapplied on the erection of the new
building The custodians of the boost.
er funds have had the proposition un.
der consideration for some time. The
manufactures committee of the Indus
trial commission first after going into
the subject thoroughly, recommended
it to the Industrial commission, where
it was investigated by the board OF

Spirit of Home Industry.

1t carries out the spirit of industrial
development, which means the build
ing of new factory accommodations
for home industries as well as the
encouragement of new ones. Indeed,
there would be small encouragement
or incentive for bringing added fac
tories to the city, if those of merit
we already have here were permitted
TO move away to places where greater
inducements are offered because of
lack of facilities TO do business in

there has been decided falling off 10
the movement from this country into

our desiratle citizens who are leaving

Just at the present time the construo-

ment is invited and large number Of
farmers for the middle west have al
ready taken up new homes thereon.
The letters received from them by the
statistician of the reclamation service
at Washington indicate their satisfac
ton in the change they have made and
their abiding faith ia the wisdom Of
their choice in ln9ation. Two of these
projects are in Montana and one is in
northern Wyoming. Nearly 100000
acres divided in 40 and SO acre farms
are now ready for home seekers. These
farms are open to settlement under tho
homestead act. subject TO the provisions
Of the reclamation law. The soil and
climate are such that with the assured

guarantees, maxium harvests are in
cured. Intelligent farming on these
projects Is rewarded by larger returns
than 10 humid regions and the crop pro-
ducts are rs diversified as can BIZ grown

nearly 20 families came from two town
ships in Iowa and their success this
