Veterinarian Recommended.
In his final report last May. Health
Commissioner Mueller advised that a
licensed veterinarian be employed by
the local health department as food
inspector, such as Davenport has,
whose duty it would be to not only in
spect meat markets and grocery
stores, but also visit dairy farms and
enforce modern sanitary regulations
relating to the milk supply. Many cit
les and states retain such officials.
Besides the healthfulness of cattle and
sanitary conditions of dairy surround
ings are investigated and maintained

that While the milk, as originally pro-
duced by the COW, may be pure. yet
it gathers contamination and infection

SOUTHERN ENTRY
Reported That the New Inter
urban Is Planning to Operate
Dinkey Cars in Cities.
NOT A POPULAR SCHEME
No Excuse for Not Sending Main
Street Railway Company.

It is understood to be the desire OF
the Rock Island Southern railway to
make arrangements with the Tri-City
railway to run over its lines in Rock
Island. Moline and Davenport, dinkey
car to be designated as the Rock Is
land Southern. and TO connect at the
west end of Fourth avenue with the
regular Southern interurban coaches.
Such an arrangement, it need hardly
be said would not be at all popular
and would not meet with the approval
of any authorized body to which the
plan might be submitted.
What Was Promised.
When the promoters of the Southern
first discussed their plans for coming
into Rock Island they stated that the
big interurban coaches would be run
into Rock Island. but that a smaller
type of car. built especially for the
purpose. would be used to cross the
Rock Island bridge TO Davenport II
the Southern is sincere about coming
into Rock Island it can readily bring
its interurban coaches right in over
the tracks of the Tri-City Railway
company. or by a feasible route of its
own which it would experience little
difficulty in acquiring. Any arrange
ment about going to Moline would de-
pend naturally upon the city raising
the ban against the East Moline and
Watertown cars coming to Rock Is.
land. This city is not narrow about
the question. and if Moline would be
willing that the East Moline cars come
direct TO this city, an arrangement mu-
tually advantageous could be made for
the Rock Island Southern cars to go
on up there.
Too Big for Bridge.
The taking of the interurban coaches
on to Davenport would be out of the
question, as they are too high to cross
the Rock Island bridge. Even ar that,
Rock Island would expect that the !.
&, l. cars come on to Rock Island if the
Rock Island Southern go direct TO Dav-
export. That would be on the same
principle of fairness that is applied in
Moline There is no disposition to
stop any interurban cars that come
into Rock Island, but to expect tha$
udIileIS against tOCh 1SIanu De re-
moved. However any makeshift of
cars that the Southern may desire TO
run into Rock Island should be well
considered. The people want the in
terurbans such as run into all the 9th
er cities all over the state. The dinkey
type had better be well considered. The
promoters of the Southern are noted
for their inferior rolling stock. AS a
rule, it is the cast-off equipment OF
other roads.
BY the way, it is reported the South
ern is about TO make a proposition to
build the Belt line under conditions of
an ordinance that the city may name
That, too, is something that should be
considered well.

CANADA and U. S. GOVERN
MENT IN AN AGREEMENT.
Each Side Makes Concessions at Recent
Conference at National Capital-Reci-
procity Treaty Partially Promised to
Canadian Government by President
Taft-A Long Sought Prize.

Through mutual concessions the
threatened tariff VI between Canada
and the United States has been averted.
The agreement reached at the White

tary of State Knox, Secretary of the

Minister of Finance w. $. Fielding and
| Minister of Railways George p. Graham,
representing Canada, promises not only
TO keep undisturbed the present
friendly commercial relations between
this country and Canada, but to bind
them more closely in the future.
An arrangement not to make public
the details of the agreement until mex
Wednesday was to enable Sir Wlltrl'
Laurier, the Canadian premier, to pas
finally on them.
1t appears Canada has granted t
the United States concessions on abou
30 articles, giving the same rates
the American products as those on SIN
liar articles produced in France.
In return Canada gets the minimum
b tariff Of the United States with tn
assurance that the Taft administratlo
