and 1t was found that So was submit
ted by Miss Beulah W. Halves, 1915
Nineteenth street, and the committee
thereupon voted to recommend to the
Fifty Thousand club the awarding of
the prize OF s25 in gold to her az
the author OF the adopted slogan.
The slogan received three votes in
the committee when the original list
was read, and was always a favorite
in the committee. A week ago the
committee seemed almost ready TO
make a decision when il was determin-
ed to consider the matter for another
week before coming TO a final vote,
the one aim being TO secure a slogan
that would be at once short, catchy
and fun of meaning.
MEETS ALL REQUIREMENTS.
Il is believed the slogan adopted,
. Try Rock Island First" meets all
these requirements. Its significance to
the local trade conditions is empha,
sized by the plea that has gone up
from Rock Island merchants for years
10 give the home business man a
chance before going elsewhere TO shop.
To the outside world, where capital
may be seeking an opportunity for in
vestment, Rock Island extends the in,
vitation to give it trial before look
ing elsewhere, confident that the op-
pOrtunities, advantages and environ.
ments possessed by Rock Island will
be so much impressed that IL will be
. unnecessary TO look elsewhere
/ SO Try Rock Island First'-that is
the slogan.
TO SOUND 1T WIDE AND FAR.
! The committee will recommend to the
Fifty Thousand club that the slogan be
printed on all business envelopes and
that as far as possible il be adopted
as Rock Islands trade mark As SCOT
as the committee reached its deci
sion today, Vice-President II. II
Clcavelaud of the Rock Island club
in the absence from the city of Presi
dent II. Z. Casteel ordered streamers
printed, 10 be displayed in the club
bearing the slogan, and a number o
business men will have the slogan il

Definite Shape Before Mu-

is FOR HILL PROTECTION
Discuss Laying of 16-Inch Main
Along Ninth Ayenue-Open Bids
for Filter Plant Pump.

Agitation for an elevated tank on
reservoir hill TO furnish fire protec-
ton for the entire hill district is
about to assume definite form before
the municipal commission, pursuant
10 action taken by the commission at
recent informal session. At that
time the matter was discussed in an
informal way and it was decided to
bring it before the commission for
mally at the Monday meeting.
1t is the intention to erect the tank
next to the filter plant, so that ample
! pressure for the entire district may
/ be supplied, thereby protecting the
/ hill residents against large fire losses
/ as much as possible. 1t is estimat-
ed that the approximate cost of such
an improvement would range be-
/ tween $4,000 and $4,000. Should
/ the purchase of the tank De fully de-
/ Cided upon, the financial end of the
| matter can be handled, says Commits
/ sioner NJ. T. Rudgren, without neces-
| stating any addition loans.
CONSIDER OTHER IMPROVEMENT.
The laying of 16-inch water main
along Ninth avenue from Nineteenth
| TO Eleventh streets is also under con-
sideration and should it become a
| reality, the west end district will be
given ample pressure through it for
fire protection
BIDS ARE OPENED.
Bids from two electrical construc-
ton firms on a pump, motor, trans
formers and pipe for the filter plant
to duplicate the old centrifugal pump
were opened by the commission this
morning. Ole from the Electric Con-
struction and Machinery company is
the lower at $4,000, while that of the
General Electric company of Chicago
is $500 higher The bids were laid
aside and expert advice will be sought
before final action is taken.
SOON ELIMINATE DEAD ENDS.
Within another month, says Com
missioner Jonas Bear, all of the dead
ends in the district between Thirtieth
and Forty-siXth streets and Four
teenth and Eighteenth avenues, with
the exception of two, will have been
! eliminated from the water system.
The hill district under the direction
of Wallace Treichler. city engineer, is
rapidly being equipped with a water
main system that is bound to prove its
efficiency. There is a fire hydrant at
every corner in the district, as well
as a shut-off valve. AS time goes on,
the mains throughout the city will
be given attention

From out of the Blue mountains a
storm travelling approximately 80
miles per hour broke over Walla Wal
la valley Saturday night about
GAS and paralyzed all traffic in the
city, uprooted trees, damaged wheat
and fruit crops and blew over build
ings, among others three warehouses.
The storm was the most severe
known here in recent years, and
though no one will hazard guess as
to the amount of damage done, it will
amount up into the four figures it is
feared. Reports from the storm-swept
zone are very meager as yet, tele-
phone lines being down in great
many instances.
The only hopeful news was that
the vast wheat region known as the
Eureka Flat escaped. no rain falling
there at all
Harvert here is in full swing and
a great deal of the wheat is threshed
and stacked in the fields. All wheat
wet will not pass a No. | inspection.
The Puget Sound warehouses at
Sudberry and the one at Thiel, on

down and grain fields are washed out

The loss to the farmers resulting
from the shattering of their grain is
complete because of the fact that hail
