terday on business in connection with
the proposition to build a Sterling-to-
Moline interurban. They said the plans
have been extended to Make Prince
ton the terminal at the far end of the
line. Surveying between Sterling and
Princeton is under way. The men
came here to push a proposition for
securing right of way on Colona ave
nue., but their project was blocked.
They say this setback will have no in

road to naturalization. Claim of the
visitors is that local people will moi be
asked to put any money in the venture,
the only assistance to be sought being
right of way.

that within few days Moline will be
overrun with BARRIERS from all points
of the compass who are being drawn
