is TO BE 40 MILES LONG
Total Cost, Including Equipment and
Power Station. Is to Be
So, 800, 900.

w. z. Elliott. general manager
for the Northwestern Engineering
and Construction company of MIL
waukee. which is to build the line
of the ADMINISTERING Traction COM
pany, is authority for the statement
that actual construction work on the
proposed road is to begin this win
ter. Though detail grading cannot
he done till spring, the intention is
t. dispose of heavy grades and fills,
make cuts and build CIlyerts dur
ing the winter months.
1t has practically been determin-
ed that the road is to run along the
south side of Rock river the greater
part of the distance between Ster-
ling and Moline. There will be an
average amount of grading and the
estimate on the cost of the road, as
made by the general manager of the
construction company, is $4,000 per
mile. The road will be 10 miles
in length, including a branch from
Sterling to Princeton and the Nor
rison stub. which means that the
total cost will approximate $500
600. This figure includes every ex-
pense-rolIing stock. power house,
road construction work and bridges.
The rolling stock will be operated
by electricity.
Securing Right of Way.
Of1cers of the traction company,
now at work securing right of way,
are being assisted by officials of the
construction concern. The right or
way is to have minimum width of
SO feet and a maximum of so.
Right of way at the Moline end OF
the proposed line. in the vicinity of
HiIIsdaIe and Silvis, is yet TO be So
cured. 1t is being bought up by
parties in the upper end of the coun-
ty who are to be interested in the
road.
General Manager Elliott is conf
dent that the traction cars will come
into Moline from Silvis. over the tri-
city company's lines.
Both sides on Record.
There is no doubt but that the
Sterling-Noline company is willing
to arrange matters, and the attitude
of the Tri-City Railway company
may be gained from the following
statement by President !. F. Porter
in which he reiterates former inter-
views:
I'VE are willing to let them in
over our lines. We have not been
interviewed as yet but are certainly
ready to treat"
Mr.. Elliott is coming here in the
near future and negotiations will
doubtless be opened up at that time.
Regarding the bond issue the gen
eral manager of the Milwaukee COM
pany says:
100000 Bond Issue.
eve are waiting till the Sterling
company gets a right of way to mort
gage and then we will float a So
100000 bond issue that will cover
cost of construction.
LAS to plans for construction work
may say that we will place two
crews on the job. one on the Prince
ton division and one between Moline
and Sterling.
Power from Lyndon.

welfare Of your bowels. There the trou-
bic usually lies. All physicians know
that a large percentage OF women are
habitually constipated. and from this re-
