The people of Mathersville are pro-
gTessive to degree and will surely
build a town of at least 5000 within
the next two years.
Relious Petersen bears the distinc-
ton of having built and occupied the
first "shanty" in what is now Math-
ersville, and Robert Davidson of Sher-
rard Is credited with having erected the
first residence building in town, while
Thomas Haywood was the first man to
move his family here It is generally
conceded that Fred c. Schroeder, the
present postmaster and general mer-
chant, is the business man of Mathers-
vile, as he was the first to open a
store of any kind here.
The first birth to take place in Math-
ersville was on October IS, 1909, when
male child was born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Herman Zuder The first death was
that of Mrs. Louis Hummell, Novem-
Der Is, 1910.
About the most encouraging news
the people of Mathersville have re-
ceived lately is the formal acceptance
by the Rock island Southern railway
of their new 100000 power house at
this point and the prospect of the COM
pany possibly locating its shops here,
which is midway between Rock Island
and Monmouth. And now if We could
only realize that the city of Rock
Island. the logical market for Meth-
ersville. Aledo, Reynolds and several
other growing towns lying Immediately
upon or nearby the line of the Rock
Island Southern, in fact all Mercer
county, thought enough of our trade
to assist the Rock Island Southern in
gaining a proper entrance into THAI
city We would be justified in calling

! in order to extend a vote of thanks.
The trains of the Rock Island South
ern entering Rock Island are crowded
every trip, but the inconvenience and
delay of a transfer at the outer edge
| of the city is most annoying. II is
to be hoped Rock Island will soon see
its way clear to accommodate and appre-
ciate the people of this section even
though il may be forced to make some
concession to the railroad. We are
frank to admit we like Rock Island
and its wholesalers and retailers but
/ in this matter of proper railroad &C
/ commodations for Mathersville and sur
rounding country we fear they do not
appreciate us Without entering into
the Rock Island Southern's position in
the case, We ask in all fairness to our
selves, cannot the business people of
Rock Island make some sort of move
that will force this question to an is
sue? To say nothing of the people of
this section who do their trading in
Rock Island, however it would seem
that a railroad company that had in
vested nearly s2.50O,OOO in order to
reach a city's back yard ought to be
entitled to more consideration than is
being shown the Rock Island Southern
at its northern terminal. The company
operates so miles of trackage between
Rock Island and Monmouth with an adj
ded mile branch from the main line
to Aledo. 1t carries coal from the
Mathersville field at 50 cents per ton
as against 70 cents per ton from the
next nearest field over any line. Does
not this fact alone justify Rock Island
in at least extending the hand Of CO.
operation? We understand the COM
pany is doing a good business, its to-
tai receipts for November amounting
to $15.635, while that of December in
creased to s19,752. This means the
people down this way are going to and
fro and shipping freight in and out at
least to some extent.

SENATE IS
RUFFY AT
PRESIDENT
STAyDPATTER HEPBURN AND
OTHERS SAYS HE IS TRYING TO
UsURP THE DUTIES OF con-
GREss IN MAKING TARIFF BY
TREATY.

Washington. Jan. 3O,-There was
a pretty wrangle in the senate today
over the reference to the finance
committee Of the presidents message
concerning the Canadian reciprocity
treaty Cullom, of Illinois, Hey
burn of Idaho; Garter, of Montana,
and Bailey. of Texas, participated.
Cullom declared that the Canadian
trade agreement should have been
sent to the committee on foreign re-
lations. Hepburn objected, saying
that when tariff Dnls should BE
made by agreement, such arrange
ments would destroy the functions
of a great party, and of congress
itself
He declared that legislation for
the purpose of raising revenue
should not originate with the eX-
ecutive, under any construction OF
the constitution,
There seems to me-" said Hey
burn, "to be a shifting foundation
underlying that great political prin
ciple of the party in this case. 1
looks to me as if the quicksilver wa
working"
Bailey, of Texas, asked Cullom !
the presidents trade arrangement
with Canada had been made unde
any special or general laws. Cullon
said no.
Bailey declared that the presiden
was not in any way empowered t
make arrangements or agree
ments which were nothing but tref
ties" and urged that the senate il
more the whole matter until tn
house acted.
Carter, of Montana, suggeste
the agreement to go to the commi
tee on foreign ulations, and afte
wards the finance committee.
This proposal carried.
