little group of statesmen, mainly from the

Their contention is that the measure will work

We cannot agree with many of eontem-

not believe that men like La Follettp, whose

largely, personal labors have caused his section

DRURY SCHOOL
WINS A PRIZE
Gets SIS in Books for Having
Buildings and Grounds in
Fine Shape.
TEN IN THE COMPETITION
superintendent Fl. b. Hayden Acts IS
Judge in Deciding Winner
Hon. c. J. Sesrle Donor.

The Excelsior school Of Drury
township was today awarded the
prize offered several months ago by
Hon. G. j. Searle. who desired TO
give SIS worth of books 70 the coun-
try school vhioh had it's building
and grounds In the best condition.
The award was made by Superin-
tendent H. B. Hayden OF the Rock
Island schools who at the request of
County superintendent g. J. Fergu-
son acted as judge. Ten different
schools were entered in the compe-
tition and the Drury school won out
because OF its well cared for grounds
and its numerous fine shade trees
including oaks, elms and hard
maple. Miss Emma Anderson, a res
ident of Drury township, is teacher
of the school and has been for three
years past. She and her pupils en-
tered into the contest enthusiastic-
ally and worked hard in getting their
school lot in fine shape.
PRIZES NEXT YEAR.
Mr.. Searle is enthusiastic about
the improving of school grounds
throughout the county and he will
give two prizes next year under
somewhat similar conditions. IN
stead of going to the best appearing
school, however, the prizes will be
for the schools which show the
greatest improvement over their
present condition. This makes it
fair and equal for all and it is ex-
pected that nearly every school in
the county will be in the competi-
tion. To the winner, s25 will be
given and to the next best $40.

ONLY CITY EMPLOYE
MAYTAP WATERMAN
Ordinance Along This Line Being
Planned by Superintendent of
City Waterwoi ks.

Superintendent of Waterworks c..
C. Wilson has been communicating
for the last few weeks with other
city water departments to find
whether it is customary for the city
to tap the water mains or to allow
the plumbers who wish to make con-
nections to tap the mains. His re-
plies thus far indicate that as a
general rule the cities tap the water
mains and will not allow any one
but an employe of the city water de-
partment to make a connection. In
order to change the system in this
city it is thought that an ordinance
will be drawn up and adopted along
the same lines as are followed in
other cities The ordinance will pro-
vide that only city employees be al
lowed to tap the mains and that any
plumber who wishes to make the
connection shall be made to pay a
fee to thes city for the privilege.

DELAY DAMAGES
IN BRIDGE WORK
Slow Progress of Construction
of Rock River Structures
Hurting City.
KEEPING THE FARMERS OUT
Some Experience With Outgoing
Traffic Across Streanl-in-
stances Given.

Complaint after complaint Of the dila-
tory work of the Clinton Bridge com
pany at the Rock river bridges and OF
the holding up Of teams for hours at
time is being heard from all sides and
at almost any hour of the day. And it
is not a surprising fact that the com
plants are so frequent and numerous,
for the conditions, upon investigation,
are anything but what they should be.
In the first place, only a tenth of the
number of men who should be employ
ed are at work on the bridges, and
only one span has been completed.
whereas, with sufficient force. the work
should have progressed much more
than it has.
HURTING FARM TRADE.
Farmers who are desirOus of bring
ing produce TO Rock Island and pur-
chasing supplies have been held up at
the bridges time after time, and the
result is that they are not coming in
and the market for their stuff is not
supplied. Yesterday. for instance, there
was not a single load of produce on
Market square. while there should have
been at least dozen loads. And with
in the last few weeks no hay has been
brought in 10 the city simply because
the bridges are impossible for such
loads
|. The company reported to the coun-
Gil last Monday that the material was
all at hand and everything in readi-
% +ba n cnr11r1nfinT
With the report offered TO the munich
pal body the company asked for an ad-
vance of a part of the money for the
work but the commission rightly re-
fused. If anything will rush the work,
il is the fact that no money has been
received nor will be received till the
work has been completed to the sat
isfaction of the commission. The con
tract of the company says that traffic
shall not be stopped at any time, bue
the reports show that for hours at a
time farmers with heavy loads and
Eight loads have been held up at the
ridges
STOPS TRAFFIC. BOTH WAYS.
And people from this side of the
bridges find it just as difficult to reacn
the country districts If it takes the
company months 10 bring the material
to the scene OF labor and to erect a
single span, how long is it going 10
take to complete the entire work?
That question is bothering many a
resident of the lower end of Rock Is
land county and many a Rock Islander.
Something must be done at once to re-
lieye the conditions
