Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-02-19

No doubt many readers of The Ar
gus well remember the memorable
day in the history of Rock Island when
1t celebrated the completion of the
chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail-
road from Chicago to the Mississippi
river.
we know that there is now rivalry
between the three cities but there
mas always been more or less rivalry
ana good natured and honest rivalry
rs conducive of good results.
A Davenport man, in writing of the
event at the time said: Feb. %,
1894, was remarkable not only as
the anniversary of the birthday of
washington but as the one upon
which connection, by railway, was
completed between the Atlantic and
the Mississippi.
Davenport, for some reasons best
known to Rock Island, was not gen.
orally invited to attend the celebra-
ton, which the occurrence gave rise
to- Not behind hand in enthusiasm,
gun was brought forth, whose thun-
der was but a faint echo of the joy
L.. "A
splendid illumination was also gotten
up at night and quite as much or
more jubilation was expressed on this
side as on the Rock Island side
There was evidently some reason
for Rock Island not giving a general
invitation to the Davenport people
to attend the celebration for they
were expected TO come without an in
vitation and to join in the general
Jubilation which was created in this
vicinity by the completion of the
railroad to the Mississippi. But |
am pleased to see that Moline took
an interest in the event for Moline
furnished the music for the occasion.
It's brass band was in evidence dur
ing the entire day and evening of
the celebration.
Certainly great preparations had
been made by the citizens of Rock
Island to receive the distinguished
company coming from Chicago and
cities enroute to Rock Island on the
22d of February, 1854.
The Chicago Press, now Tribune,
gave the following notice of the
event:
"On Wednesday last, the 22d inst,
that event looked forward to for
years with so much interest by our
citizens,-the connection of the Miss
issippi with Lake Michigan by a
continuous line of railroad-was
contaminated. The honor of arriv-
ing first at this important goal be-
longs to the Chicago and Rock Island
road-an honor, by the way, we'll
worthy the Herculean efforts which
have been made to achieve it. In
February. 1851, the legislature char
tered the company-in October of the
same year the contract for its con-
struction and equipment was taken
in April, 1852, the first estimate for
work upon it was paid-and in Feb
ruary, 1854, three years from it's
charter. and % months after ground
had been broken upon 1t, the work
is completed, and cars are running

MINING HARBORS
Elaborate System Being Ar
ranged for the Defense of
New York City.
WATER GAMES ALL SAFE
Planted With New Submarine Device
That Allows Friends to Pass
But Not Foes.

A short time ago it was announced
by General Murray. chief Of the Unit
ed States coast artillery. in his annual
report to the secretary of war that
after years of endeavor it had been
found possible to plant submarine
mines in the deep waters of the Race
at the eastern end of Long Island
sound. Until quite recently it had not
been possible to plant them in water
more than 125 feet in depth. The
Race approximates 200 feet in depth.
The accomplishment of this feat closes
the gap in the line of New York city's
defense most difficult to shut The
announcement of this fact also prac-
tiCally marks the successful close of a
series of experiments with mines to
make them more effective as engines
of war.
Can Be Blown to Kingdom Come.
Part of Admiral Deweys fame rests
on his remark, ID the tOrpedoes!" or
words and actions to that effect when
he entered Manila bay in 1898. What

Mississippi. arousing the echoes from
the majestic bluffs. 1t was a glorious
day for Rock Island, and for its neigh
boring city across the river. Delega-
tions were there from most of the
river towns from Dubuque to st. Louis,
and some had come from the far in
terror towns of Iowa. We think We
are not above the mark in estimating
the number present on the arrival of
the train at from 500 TO 600 persons.
The two cities of Rock Island and
Davenport were most beautifully illum-
mated The windows OF stores. prf-
vate residences and public buildings
were lit up on both sides of the river
and the lights reflected back from the
bosom of the Mississippi, were indeti-
nitely multiplied. the whole presenting
a scene of imposing grandeur. After
the reading Of the regular tOasts, a
large portion of the company. headed
by the Moline brass band marched in
procession through the principal
streets of the city. Much credit is
due to the people of Rock Island for
the handsome manner in which the
celebration was gotten up and con-
Quoted and for the hOspitable manner
in which private houses were thrown
open to accommodate the multitude
of strangers. The people of Daven-
port and Moline also threw open their
mansions with the same hospitable
spirit. and we think everybody was
COMFORTABLY provided for"

Residence Burns at AIedo.

The residence of J. F. Rutherford
at AledO was almost totally destroyed
by fire Thursday afternoon. The fire
was caused by defective chimney
and was discovered by Mrs. Rether-
ford about o'clock When the fire
company arrived on the scene and
turned on the water the main burst
and although the pressure was heavy
the main leaked so badly that only
a small stream could be gotten on the
flames. The house was new and mod

CATHOLIC PASTORS TALK
OF TUESDAYS ELECTION

In sermon Sunday morning at
st. AloysiuS Catholic church Father
Tolman. president of Gonzaga col
1ege. touched briefly on the charter
election tomorrow. He spoke of
the Importance of the new charter
and the care that should be exer-
cised in the selection of men to
frame it. He urged that the people
pay no heed to newspaper candi-
dates but select men qualified for
the position and whose standing in
the community have caused the
public to repose confidence in
them. Above all things, the speak
er said. no socialists should be
elected to help frame the new char
ter.
A discourse of somewhat similar
tone was given by Father DeKan-
ter, pastor of st. Joseph's Catholic
curch. He urged that the people
make their own selection of candi-
dates, and not accept that of any
newspaper or combination and to
vote against any socialists out.
