MOLINE

Deeres Buy Athletic Field. - Pur-
chase of the tract OF land on the river
road at Twenty-sixth street, now serv-
ing as Athletic field, has been effected
by Deere & Co. The transfer has not
been made, but the deal has been
closed, the Moline Ice company sell
ing There are eight and a fraction
acres in the tract The price at which
the deal was closed is not announced,
but it is known that the ground was
held two years ago at $40, 900. Off
Gals of Deere & Co. could not be IN
terviewed. 1t is understood, however,
that the ground is not acquired for
immediate needs, but that it will be
held for future growth. The civic
commission of the Moline club, which
now controls the lease on the ground
which is enclosed for park purposes,
may be allowed to continue the lease
under the new ownership-this is a
matter not determined. The Moline
Ice company originally gave the lease
to the Moline Business Mems associa-
ton for five years and it has three
and one-half years yet to operate. The
right to cancel the lease by giving %
days written notice, providing the
property should be sold, was reserved
East of the park site is a tract of II
acres, also facing the river, that is
owned by the Deere estate.

work of erecting the structural iron
which is to support the roof of the
Moline postoffice building was started
today. Favorable weather has per-
mitted of rapid progress and with an
other week or two of unchanged con-
ditions there is every prospect that
the building will be completed within
the specified time-March l, 1910.

1t should be continued. 1t is now
known that this county can raise
better winter apples than the
Wenaichee or Yakima sections, and
