which takes its name from this city
the Colonist says:
'Tn the first place, the Rock Island

of the west from Chicago, when this

very ambitious village, the original in

promoted this enterprise was the build

Rock Island railroad, and the railway
has since been known as the Rock

and eventually bridge the Mississippi
river after long delay occasioned by
the united opposition OF the river
steamboat men, backed up by a large
majority Of the members OF the sen

impression that the river interests
would be jeopardised by the building
of bridge over this mighty river, and
were also under the mistaken impress
sion that there was no necessity for

A new summer resort, which even
tually will become one Of the popular
outing places for people Of the tri-cit-
ies, is that which has been founded on
Rock river near Colona by the Gallo
way brothers of Rock Island. A tract
OF land consisting of eight acres in an
ideal location, has been converted into
q picnic playground at a cost of So
OO0 and in planning for the welfare of
those who seek recreation in the col
ony, all sorts of Improvements have
been made in the acreage. First of
all, - portable cottages for summer
habitation or for daily use have been
set up on the ground. A dancing pa
vilion and dining hall has been erect
ed and at any time guests will find
the pavilion and attaches ready 10 aid
In entertainment. \ Chinese cook
is in charge Of the culinary depart
ment.
ARRANGE FOR SPORT.
Outside Of the cottages and the pa
vilion, there are tennis courts, a bath
ing beach, swings, etc. A baseball dia-
mond is now being laid out All sorts
of fishing may be enjoyed in Rock riv-
er. The grass over the land is moved
al frequent intervals.
The colony was established by the
Galloways because Of the fact that
such an institution near the tri-cities
has not been known in the past. There
are all sorts Of parks, but when 1t comes
right down to an absolutely private
picnic ground, there are no others.
The Galloways operate a taxi service
in Rock Island and through 1t can
make the colony OF easy access. It is
about IL miles from Rock Island.
