ahead of many other towns of equal
opportunities. All houses are equipped
with modern improvements.
POPULATION.
The population at present is about
1900. This is very small estimate
compared to what it would be if dwell
ings could be had, for there is a dearth
of buildings, and while numbers are
being erected, each year they are
spoken for either TO rent or buy months
before they are complete. Cottages
rent for from $17 to SIS per month
and two story buildings from $40 to
$25 per month. There is an immedi-
ate and pressing demand for at least
200 dwellings and every one could be
rented or sold long before completion.
Here is a splendid opportunity for any
that wish to make a paying invest
ment. The land company has about
coo very desirable lots for residence
purposes and would make very low
prices as special inducements to any
that would build a number of dwellings
this season.
/ FACTORY SITES.
In addition to the other holdings the
land company has a splendid site fol
factory purposes, a tract comprising
about 40 acres of high table land
which requires no grading or filling
and is ready for the builder. This loca
ton is bounded on the east by the
railway shops proper, on the south b!
the Rock Island railway and on the
north by the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy and the Davenport, Rock Is
land & Northwestern railroads. o.
the west is the public street and tn,
Moline, East Moline & Waterfowl
street railway The main line of tn,
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul is onl,
one-half mile distant and the Missis
sippi river is about three-fourths of ;
mile. 1t can readily be seen that tn
shipping facilities are all that coult
be desired and can hardly be SUI
passed in manufacturing centers. In
vestors looking for factory or tow
sites should by all means make a pei
sonal inspection of the grounds Of

The bristling little railroad city Of
Silvis has grown like the magic
since it blossomed out with the estab-
lishment there of the great Rock Is
land railroad shops less than 10 years
ago. The locality was selected by the
officials of the road after a thorough
examination Of the many available
sites along the system, and wisely
planning. not only for the present, but
for future, determined upon this loca-
ton as the most suitable for the shops,
and outlined in the plans perfected by
the best railroad engineers of modern
times.
1t might be well to note and to bear
in mind that while several other To-
calities offered to donate the land re-
quired and in addition a cash bonus
as an inducement, the railway COM
pany has paid prices for this land
ranging from 500 to $1,000
per acre. as evidence of its preference.
The oldest old settler will remem'
Der the locality as Pleasant Valley,
not renowned as a corn belt or grain
producing center, but rather given over
to diversified farming, such as raising
early corn, sugar cane, melons, sweet
potatoes, beans and babies. The greater
part of the land upon which the shops
proper are built a few years ago was
considered dear at $50 per acre, sc
that it will be readily seen that the
great advantages Of location we're para
mount to all other consideration, suci
