MOLINE

Box Cars Robbed. - While enroute
here Sunday evening from Bushnell,
Ill, nine of a train of box cars were
broken into and robbed by vandals be-
tween this city and the freight yards
at Bushnell, according to information
received by road officials here yester-
day. Graphaphones and records, as
we'll as minor articles to the value of
$500, were stolen. The men who did
the work made good their escape. The
discovery was made by one Of the crew
when the train stopped for water be-
tween the two above mentioned cities.
Information was telegraphed ahead and
the road officials informed of the af-
fair The railroad authorities were put
TO work on the case and are now hunt
ing for the thieves.
Begin Work on Depot. -W Work was
started yesterday on the foundations of
the new Burlington railway passenger
depot on Fourth avenue between Nine
teenth and Twentieth streets, and IN
less unforeseen circumstances prohibit
the new station will be ready for occu-
pancy early next fall The resumption
of activities on the Burlington railway
property results directly from the col
lapse of the union depot project. Work
on the new depot trenches was first
started last fall, but little progress
had been made before the city council
of Moline requested the railway to
postpone the building until a definite
decision could be reached on the union
station proposition. The various rail-
way companies at last vetoed the union
depot plan as too expensive.
LundahI ReeIected.-Thirteen votes
were cast for election of a township
school trustee. Emil N. Lundahl,
whose term had expired, was the only
candidate. and he was unanimously re-
elected. There was but one polling
place, the Art gallery on Sixteenth
street. H. NJ Reynolds, Henry Hull
and Mr.. Lundahl served as judges; the
clerk was G. L. Peterson. Holdover
trustees are G. Henry Sohrbeck and J.
Maurice Farnham.
Wood for Mereer.-It is declared in
one of the farm implement trade jour-
nails that immense tracts of hardwood
timber land in the southern states, |
principally Arkansas and Mississippi, !
are included in the Deere merger now
being perfected. In Arkansas there are
1000 acres and in Mississippi 25 900 |
acres of virgin forest which the ak and |
saw have never touched. Messrs. S. H. |
Velie of Kansas City, George w. Mix |
ter of the Deere plant here and Super
intendent A. /. Moore of the Moline |
Wagon company have returned from |
visit to these tracts and have awarded |
to the Allis-Chalmers company con-
tracts for the erection of a complete |
numbering plant of large capacity.
This plant will be situated somewhere
in OaUchita county, Arkansas, the ex-
act location to be determined later
There a beginning will be made look
ing toward supplying the various Deere
factories with raw material.
