Tipping sat and brooded reSentfully
over a disturbed past in which Jonas

the rocker as the Widow Lee swayed
to and fro.

The Years Record in Rock Island.

In accordance with its custom of
many years standing. The Argus pub
fishes on the eve of a new year Rock
Islands record for the IL months
which are coming to a close The facts
presented in this connection are al
ways awaited by Argus readers WIN
interest, for, in addition to complete
record that has gone into history, the
evidence of the city's progress in SUD
stantial improvements always awakens
pride and qualification
The showing which has been pre-
pared with painstaking care of the
building and general Improvements,
either completed or in progress,
aggregating close to S2,000,O 0G,
brings Rock Island to the
front rank among the progressive cit
les of the state of Illinois and of the
west. Never in the citys history has
there been more permanent advance
ment than has been made in 1909 or
IS in prospect for 1910.
Rock Island has progressed along
the most healthy lines. It's building
improvements in the year that is end
ing have included factories and mod
crn business blocks, as well as educa-
tional institutions, while in the way of
public Improvements it has not been
slow.
And what of the outlook for the
year to come?
If Rock Island does all that is in
contemplation, all in fact that is rea-
sonably assured, the record will eclipse
that of this year Here is a glimpse
of what is in prospect for 1910 in Rock
Island:
The building of lie belt line rail-
road
The bringing in of one or more in
terurban roads from the south.
Possible entry into the city of one
or more important railroads, apart
from those already established here.
The certainty of the building of a
big factory in the east end.
The prospect of more factories in
the downtown factory district.
General Improvement of factories al
ready located here.
The paving of the main business
streets with asphalt instead of brick,
and the putting in of new pavement in
outlying streets.
Systematic illumination of Second
avenue from Fifteenth to Twentieth
streets, and possibly some Of the other
business thoroughfares.
Extension of the street railway sys-
tenn, including the completion of the
Long View loop.
At least two more business blocks.
With all this in prospect, there is
every reason why the Rock Islander,
proud and grateful for what the past
year has brc2ght forth for the city as /
a whole, should welcome the new year
hopefully and happily.

Few realize the terrible conditions
that prevail in the mining industry
and the heavy toll of life taken every
year. The secretary of the American
Mining Congress points out that in so
years more than 10000 have been
killed and 100000 injured in the coal
mines alone. IN 1907 1925 men lost
their lives in the coal mines-nearly
five men in every mining camp of J.
Coo men. In foreign countries, where
they have bureaus of mines, only one
or two employees in every thousand
are killed.
