LeffinoweII Lecture

William Bruce Lefingwell of Chi
cago gave very enjoyable lecture
last evening at the high school. The
lecture was in the form of a travel
talk on the Yosemite valley, and was
illustrated with an unusually large
number of stereoptican views and
moving pictures. The lecture Itself
was presented in interesting style and
covered the natural features of Cali
foria, its industries and producrlon
and the views showed all the main
features of the Yosemite valley in a
most attractive and instructive man
ner. Mr.. LefHngwell has made care
full study of the various places which
he describes in his travel talks and
has collected splendid equipment
of views to illustrate his lectures.
The entertainment was greatly er
joyed by those present.

outlay, taking into consideration the
returns that would come after the COM
pletion of the line, was more than the
company could stand. The company
throughout the negotiations with the
council manifested a disposition of
fairness, and has conceded every point
that it could consistent with business
policy. President Porter discussed the
affairs of the company freely and fully
with the council, and frankly stated
that the only reason an extension of
six years of the ordinance was asked
was to strengthen the company's basis
of credit; that it was Obliged to borrow
81 900, 900 for work in the tri-cities this
year; that the people from which it
secured it's loans demanded an ordin-
ance that would show them that their
interests charges were secured; that
the company could go so far, and no
farther, if it expected to do business
on the face of the ordinance.

More Than Half Done.
Farmers agree that this is one of
the most remarkable springs ever
known here. More than half of the
blowing for corn is already done,
whereas a year ago it was not begun,
and other farm work has progressed
correspondingly. Oats, wheat, rye and
barley are we'll advanced, and are re-
markedly free from weeds, lack of
moisture on the surface of the ground
having prevented termination. Pas
lures and meadows have begun to in
dictate a need of rain.

CENSUS MAN IS
IN need OF AID
You Can Help Him in Correct
Canvass and It's Your Duty
to Do So.
BEGIN WORK IN MORNING
In Getting Complete Count for Rock
Island Much Will Depend
Upon People.

You are not overlooking the fact
that the United States census enum-
orators begin their canvass tomor-
row morning?
Sixteen enumerators have been as
signed to the work in the city of
Rock Island, one for each election
precinct. They are instructed to
make their canvass accurate and
complete, the expressed purpose of
the national government being to
have the present the most thorough
census ever taken.
DEMONSTRATING in the past has
been far from correct. Rock Island
was one of the cities that suffered
by the loose methods that character
ICED the canvass of 10 years ago.
Rock Island, as a result, was short
several thousand of its correct pOpu-
lation, and was accordingly misrep-
resented to the world.
Square Deal Assured.
The district in which Rock Island
is embraced is fortunate in having
for the present canvass a man of the
calibre of r. R. Wallace of Hamilton for
supervisor. Mr.. Wallace is exercising
all his resources to the end that ev-
cry locality in his district shall re-
ceive a square deal. He has sur
rounded himself with competent as
sistants, and he has instructed them
personally in their duties.
But the enumerator, though he
be the best in the world, will meet
with handicaps, and these can be
overcome only by the cooperating
citizen. There are hundreds of peo-
pie who have their homes in Rock
Island whose work or business call
them away from the city at inter-
walls. 1t may be that you have a
roomer or two in your family in addi-
ton to your family. They may be alb
sent when the enumerator calls. OF
course you will not forget the mem
bers of your own family, but IL is
just as important that you include
the roomers. They will add two to
the population OF your city. They
are residents of the city, and there
fore should be enrolled in the cen
sus.
other Cities Organized.
In a hundred different ways you
can aid the enumerator in the thor
oughness of his canvass. He is in
structed to do his best and it is
presumed that he will, but he will
be doubly sure that he will secure
the names of all the residents of his
district if you and your neighbors
do your part.
Other cities have formed organic
ations to cooperate with the census
takers. Moline has gotten in line in
this respect and accordingly is not
running chances of being handed a
deal such as Rock Island got 10
years ago. Unfortunately, Rock Is
land has been derelict on this point.
There is no real excuse for not hav-
ing had an organization, but in the
absence of one it becomes a civic
duty of every citizen to become a
committee of one to join hands with
the enumerator.

law, and it is his duty to keep such
