READERS DICKENS DEBTORS.
Stamps Suggested to Aid Authors I'm
poverished Descendants.

The payment of conscience money to
celebrate the approaching centenary of
Charles Dickens birth is the Sugges-
ton of London editor. To the great
nOvelist's present day admirers it is
pointed out that Dickens did not live
to draw one-tenth of the profits from
his books and received no royalties
whatever from America. Besides all
this, three of his children and his sew
enteen grandchildren are in compare
lively poor circumstances.
1t is estimated that. allowing for loss
and the wear and tear on the 24O00.O00
copies of Dickens works that have
been issued, cents royalty on each
copy would realize half million of
dollars. But this is recognized as i'm
possible. and it is therefore suggested
that every owner of one of Dickens
books buy a Dickens stamp for each
volume. thus certifying that the royal
ty Of cents has been paid.
The stamps would be put on sale
throughout the world in 1911. 1t is
proposed that the sum thus raised be
handed to the representatives of the
Dickens family 10 be used as they may
see fit. A strong committee will be
formed to handle the matter.

Galesburg- Rock Island Electric
Line to be Under Way
by Sept. Is.
TO BUY POWER AT SEARS
Construction Work to be Started at
Alexis and Other Points at Same
Time-Bright Outlook.

Galesburg, Aug. 22.-There is a
strong possibility that within two or
three weeks dirt will be flying on the
new interurban line between here
and Rock Island and that within a
year or so the line will be in oper-
alton. The contract is let and the
London Construction company which
has the contract is only waiting for
the deposit of the bonds with the par
ties who are to furnish the $780,
600 for the building of the new line.
This is on the authority of a
Galesburg man who is in close touch
with all the company is doing. The
line has been surveyed and selected,
the options on the right of way have
been secured, all municipal fran
chises have been obtained, and all
the other preliminary work has been
done so that there need be no delay
on this account.
Contractors Anxious.
The contractors are anxious to
start their work. The contract pro-
vides that they are to begin Sept.
18th, but they have written that
they will be ready to start the mo
ment the bonds are deposited in New
York. Promoter McWhiney went
several days ago to New York with
the bonds and by this time that part
Of the work is undoubtedly accom-
plished. No adverse report has
reached those interested here and
this increases the probability of ear

ly will not begin at the Galesburg
end. 1t is understood that opera
tions will begin simultaneously at
several points. Alexis is one of these
points, Viola another and Presumption
another. From these points the
work will be carried on in both di-
rections. The line within the city
will run along Northwest street and
thence to Henderson and then north.
1t will pass within stone throw of
the new city park and make that
pleasure ground accessible. 1t will
be practically a direct route to Rock
Island and there will connect with
the line of the Tri-City company.
This puts Galesburg in connection
with three cities that have popula-

No Power Station.
There will be no power station.
The electric current will be procured
from the big power plant at Sears.
1t is said that when this plant is COM
pIeted it will furnish power enough
for all the northern half of Illinois.
The interurban company finds that
it can buy electricity from this COM
pany much more cheaply than it can
manufacture it. The Sears company
will procure electricity through the
agency of water and turbin wheels,
water power thus being converted
into electricity.
On it's way t0 Rock Island the new
road will pass through a fine coal
field, the product of which will fur
nish the company with a large item
OF business.
One advantage of this new line is
that it is considerably more direct
and shorter than the Rock Island
Monmouth extension. 1t will bring
the territory north of here in direct
connection with Galesburg.
The outlook to the men here who
have done the work for the company
is most hopeful.
