SOON READY TO
TALK BUSINESS
Buffalo Prairie Interurban Pro

GETTING PROJECT IN SHAPE
Say Road Will Be Built If This City
Will Take as Much Stock as
Can Be Sold in Country.

Contrary to the impression that has
prevailed in some quarters, the Rock
Island-B Buffalo Prairie-Muscatine inter
urban is not dead. 1t is not even sleep
ing. The men who have taken the
lead in promoting 1t have never ceased
In their activities, but have been balk-
ed by certain unavoidable delays. One
of these has been the failure to get the
detailed report of the engineer. The
survey has long been completed, COW
ering a route between Rock Island and
Mus catine and passing through the
southern part of Buffalo Prairie town
ship. Data collected by the engineer,
however, has not yet been compiled,
and this work is still in progress. 1t
is expected to be finished within few
weeks. and then meeting will be held
in this city to see what Rock Island is
going to do about it.
Raise 100000 in Country.
One of the men interested said today
that the country stands ready to in
vest $780, 900 in the line and that If
Rock Island does as well the road will
be built What is more, he was salts
fed that it would be paying venture.
A well known contractor has signified
his willingness to undertake the work
of building the road as soon as there is
$250,O00 in sight.
Before anything further is done, how
ever, it will be necessary to have some
assurance as to terminal facilities in
this city, this being one of the most
difficult problems confronting the pro-
moters Some advocate taking over
the Belt line project and carrying the
whole thing through as a joint enter
prise, the aerminal to be built with
view of throwing it open to all roads
that wish to use it. 1t is believed that
such an arrangement would make ii
materially easier to bond the interur-
ban.
Look for Coal.
Independent Investigations of the
coal resources in the lower end of the
county are likely to be made this fall,
and in the event that a good deposit is
found, there is@no doubt that it will be
an easy matter to finance the proposed
line.
The territory that the Muscatine
road would open is remote from that
which the Rock Island Southern will
give access to and is fully as produc-
tive, besides being wholly without rail
facilities.

Three Biz, Flowers.
There are three large lilies topping
rather slender stem and the perfume
the flowers give out is exquisite The
odor can hardly be described but is
most like that which would como from
huge bank of mixed tube roses. oarna-
items and other sweet smelling flowers
When the plant is allowed to remain
i'll room any length Of time, it soon
fills the atmosphere with sweetness.
Each of the flowers is about nine
inches in diameter and contains petals
witch look as though they are made of
the finest wax. Goldfish brown spots
caNer the inside of the petals and make
them very pretty. The flowers are not
expected to remain in bloom more
than a week more after which the
stalk will die down and there will be no
mere flowers for a year or even two,
probably the latter, because the flower
was never meant to bloom in this part
of the world.
1t received its name sacred white
lily of Japan" from the fact that it was
mich used at places of worship in
Japan because of the fragrance and in
time it became inseparately associated
with religion.

An Honest Chance

Under the plan that the state of Nevada is taking with its Grim
inal element the law offender is given an honest chance-or a chance
to be honest. During the last few days there have been a score of pa
roles granted lei who have been confined in the penitentiary. 1t
is often the case with a law offender that he is not naturally a bad
disposition, and the petty crime is the result of association or minor
causes. To such men the board of pardons is granting a chance or
a clean life and to become useful to themselves and the commonwealth.
At hearing yesterday a boy sentenced Ito n year was paroled
before he had vel crossed the prison doors. This case is of particu-
lar interest, and strangers to this lad made it their business, at their
" expense, to see that he W a given another wei start with the world
There is every reason o believe that the action of the pardoning COM
mission will result in the making Of a good mn ut of a hayward
youth.
Other cases of the sam import were considered and where a mai
could show a record that warranted his release it a given.
The parole system "a n Of the pet measures of Governor Dick
erson at the last session of the Legislature. There was doubt expressed
at the time ove the outcome. From the results obtained up to the
present it appears that the law is n of the most useful in the prison
regulations.
Captain Cox, Of the state police, is keeping a careful history Of
each case. The outcome satisticany will be of interest as the ley sys-
ten is extended. In fact there is a general trend toward prison reform
by Warden Maxwell as well as all of the members associated with
this important work. Good word comes from the probation Office at
Reno. This branch Of the public moral reform is making a record that
will be good reading by the time the legislature meets. With the showing
along the lines mapped it seems that more attention could be given
the subject and the stneb benefit by further and o liberal action.
