known, are expected to come from Mo
line, and the scheme on the other side
is to push them through across the
river instead of coming into this city.
Rock Island and Moline are so located
and connected that what helps one city
helps the other. Rock Island rejoices
in every interurban that comes to Mo
line, even if it stops there. but if 1t
goes further, it should come to this city
before entering Iowa
1t would be well for the business PEG
pie of Rock Island to get the ear of
their congressman, Mr.. Mckinney.
Aside from the commercial coup that is
being attempted, there are other con-
siderations, the most serious of which
is the obstructing of the river on the
rapids, passage over which Is now per
ilous at all times during navigation,
and a hazard that would be increased
by another bridge.

the land thieves have carried on for
two years to get control of the United
States land Office. The first important
victory won by the enemies of the
conservation movement was when
they succeeded in having congress
legislate them immunity rom inter
ference at the hands of the United
States secret service. This occurred
during the Roosevelt administration
The secret service men had been not
on the trail of the land thieves. in
vestigating and exposing every fraud
ulent claim Hundreds of thousands
of acres of lands were restored to the
people as result of the activity IF
the secret service operators. Large
sums were imposed in fines on offend
ers. and some of them were sent 20
prison.
Appealed to Congress.
A number of men who feared and
resented the activity OF the secret
service appealed in terror to their rep
resentatives in congress to call off
your detectives" The appropriation
committee of the house, dominated by
Tawney of Minnesota and Smith IF
Iowa, responded to the call for help.
They fixed it so that secret service
men who performed any duty save IN
connection with the treasury depart
ment and the protecting of the presi-
dent could not legally draw their sal

The calling off of the secret service,
however, did not give the land thieves
the completeness of immunity that
they wished. Pinchot. CLAWS and 9th
ers interposed themselves between the
land thieves and the patenting of their
fraudulent claims. CLAWS, in partic-

frauds. He saved to the people some

DAVENPORT is
BEHIND BRIDGE
Fine Hand of Business Interests
There Seen in Moline Bet
tendorf Project.
TO HEAD OFF INTERURBANs
Effort to Direct Terminals of Lines
That are Building From
the East.

The fine Italian hand of Davenport
business interests is seen in the move
ment to span the Mississippi river with
bridge connecting Moline and Dav-
export. The Argus last evening print
ed a dispatch from Washington telling
of the Offering of a bill in the house
by Congressman A. F. Dawson of the
Davenport district, giving permission
to E. H. Van Patten and others to con-
struct a bridge. the cost of the same
to be approximately $1.000,000.
Mr.. Van Patten, who is a resident of
Davenport, declines to enter into de-
are intimations, however, that rail-
roads are interested 1t is claimed,
furthermore, that the funds necessary
to build the structure have practically
been pledged in advance The bill pro
vides that work on the bridge shall be
commenced within two years after the
congressional permit is given.
Ferry Financial Failure.
Mr.. Van Patten it was who promoted
the Moline-Bettendorf Ferry company,
an undertaking, after a trial of one
year, the returns from which have
been anything but what it was expect
ed they would be. The Moline lock,
passing through which each trip occu-
pied upwards of half an hour, proved
the stumbler to the successful opera
ton Of the ferry line. An inducement
was held out to the people of Moline
to use the ferry by supplying trans
fers on the street cars from Betten-
dorf into the city of Davenport.
To Head on Interurbans.
Just now at least two new interurban
lines are building In this direction from
the east Their announced routes give
Rock Island as their western termin-
ais, leaving the inference that the pur-
pose is TO either transfer passengers
from this city to Davenport over the
lines of the Tri-City railway, as the
Rock Island Southern is to do, or to
use the Crescent bridge in the lower
end of this city.
1t will be recalled that there was an
underground effort started in Daven-
port of late in connection with the pro-
motion of an interurban from the low
er end of Rock Island county, the pur-
pose OF which was to divert the line
across the river at some point below
Rock Island. While this scheme has
never taken tangible form, nevertheless
il was proposed, and it but goes to
demonstrate that the business interests
of our neighboring city are awake to
every possible advantage they can get
over Rock Island
Davenport for years has been seek
ing to take a hand IN directing the
course of street railway traffic on the
Illinois side. The amicable business
relations OF Rock Island and Moline
has always been a subject of marvel in
Davenport.
Danger In Obstructing Rapids.
Davenport's aim now is to make Rock
Island instead of that city stub on
the proposed interurbans building from
the east. and it is predicted that his
tory will prove that the new bridge. if
it is ever built, Is the creature of the
interests on the Iowa side.
The interurbans from the east. as is

Ed Mcconnell was arrested yester-
day and sent down to the county jail
to visit with the sheriff for the next
40 days to serve out a fine of 5000.

hobo whose room is preferable to his
company and who is not wanted in the
city.

the full amount be turned over to the

property owners along the above men
toned streets and for three blocks

the sum of 1857 City Attorney J. F..

1t would require the greater part of
this amount to pay a special commits
sioner to go over the record and ap-
portion this amount off TO those who
have it coming
Would Get But Little.
When the $557 is properly divided
and the commissioners fees taken out
each of those who has part of it COM
ing would get practically 1 per cent of
what they paid in for the improve
ment, and this would be but pittance.
while the lump sum would go far to-
wards equipping a pleasure place for
the children.
G. F. GAZETTEER. park commissioner,
was at the meeting, and he spoke in
favor of having the amount turned
over to the park board with orders 20
have it set aside as planned above.
He told of the plans made by the board
for the coming year and said the do
nation would be greatly appreciated.
Vote Is Favorable.
A vote taken on the subject re-
vealed the unanimous desire of those
at the meeting to give the sum to the
park board. Many of the property
owners who were not at the meeting
have already expressed themselves in
favor of the plan and objections are
looked for from only three or four
who are opposed to making donations
to the park Mr. Witter suggested a
plan whereby these few can be given
their share of the rebate if they insist
upon it. He offered to make the ap
portionment free of charge provided
there were only a few who demanded
it and if it met with the approval Of
the others The remainder of the
property owners in the interested dis
trict will be consulted and it is likely
that another meeting will be held
some time in the near future, at which
time the matter will be settled

MY OLD HOUSE.

Still in my tenement of CLAW.

Now he who placed the structure here
Can prop it up another year
If he should think it best
and rains,
And braved life's fearful hurricanes.
While many a stronger fell;
The reason why we cannot see,
But what to US seems mystery,
The Builder knows full we'll.
But now It's weather-wOrn and old :;
The summers heat, the winters cold
Pierce through the walls and roof;
lis like a garment so worn out,
To mend there seems no whereabout,
So gone is warp and wool.
The tottering pillars are all weak,
The poor old rusty hinges creak;
The windows, too, are dim;
These slight discomforts well let
pass,
For looking darkly through a glass
We catch d hopeful CLEAN.
Nature and reason tell us all
This withered frame ere long must
fall
when, where, or how's unknown
Wen leave that to the Architect,
And trust His wisdom to direct
The taking of it down
And when you see it PROSTATE lie,
Let not tear bedim your eye
The tenant is not here.
But just beyond times little space,
She finds some quiet resting place
No more to date her year.
And though she walks with you no
more,
The world will move on as before
'Tis meet it should be so,
Let each his house in order set,
That he may leave without regret,
Whenever called to go.
