SALMON RIVER SETTLERS TO
RESIST INTEREST
PAYMENTS.

iNlh iall~ lllll'r.l
Judging from the temper display
cd at the meeting Of the Salmon
River Settlers Association last Sat
urday afternoon, when over two
hundred were present in X p. hall
in this city, they will deny and
combat the claim Of the Salmon
River Land Il Water Co. that IA con-
tract delivery Of water was made in
1911, and that the company is en-
titled to interest for last year or the
second payment until next year.
\ committee appointed at a for
mer meeting presented II lengthy
legal opinion hy c. O. Longley
bearing ON the points in controversy,
summarized in the following ques-
tiuns:
! Assuming as a fact there was
mo- water delivered in 1911, can in
tere-t he charged for that year?
,. Under same conditions,
could interest be charged for 1912?
3. l. AN action by injunction
the proper method to restrain the
Land Il Water Co. from enforcing
collection of such interest?
Questions one and two were
grouped together, as they covered
practically the same ground. Mr.
l.ongleN held that under the Carey
act, irrigation companies must Civ,
due notice when they are ready t
deliver water, but that such deliv
cry did not consist of canal sys
tenn and such notice, but a suppl.
Of water conforming t. the com
p panN's contract with the state mus
be- available. Notice without waite
did not constitute delivery. Mr.
D I.ongley held that the Carey act am
state laws ON the same subject a
D we'll a. the company ; contract wit
the state were of greater importanc
e than the contract with the individ
ual settler. Further, that diligel
70 inquiry and investigation shove
70 that no contract delivery Of watt
y had been made during 1911.
e He further held that in view ,
q the fact that the company is takin
Il the ordinary steps to collect interet
r for 1871 by making demands f'
j. same, equity would recognize an il
Il junction a. lying in the matter

adopted and the committee contll
ucd and directed To take the nece
-ary steps to bring Il test case. III

both for 1871 and 1912, a. well

! Part of the afternoon was tak'
-, up by individuals who related the
=; personal grievances against the col

the company employees and the st
tiers that is necessary To the succ'
" of every irrigated project. VIII

gates were opened for them, there
was one, mad howl, much TO the cha
grin OF the BlOomer Bellies. They
thought they were at a circus.
Owner Levinson of the Bellies de-
clares that Miss Woods is the best
female player in the world. She
sure was going some yesterday.

preston, but it was the order OF the

pulled off a catch which would put

Though Eric walloped the ball a
hard one for his home run, he would
never have completed the circuit had
the left fielder seen the ball before
it hit the ground.

that they could steal bases. Six

A Special Motor Truck Factory

The advent of the motor truck has
presented problems to the manufaculr-
or of motor cars which insofar as the
Nelie Motor Vehicle company is CON
cerned. have been solved in no uu-
certain manner.
A separate factory has been built.
an independent organization esta b.
lished and the Nelie Engineering COM
rany is now operating in the new
concrete and steel truck plant or
Twenty-fifth street in Moline.
The Nelie Engineering company is
an exclusive motor truck plant. The
floor area is large and unrestricted.
and the facilities unsurpassed Tor
turning out trucks suitable for every
requirement Of modern delivery.
The government has purchased 4
Nelie truck after exhaustive tests for
use at the Rock Island arsenal. and the
largest truck yet seen in this country
will be delivered shortly 10 the hide
pendent Baking company Of Dayeu-
port. The latter was limited in size
only by the height of the government
bridge, and it is expected to easily dis
place the services Of three teams.
Lighter types of delivery wagons.
such as are needed by dry goods mer-
chants, grocers, bakers, etc, are being
delivered almost daily. The great ad-
vantage of having the factory close at
hand and at the same time being able
10 personally supervise the building OF
an individual car are points decidedly
in favor of the Velie in the eyes Of
tri-city manufacturers and merchants.
Prospective users OF motor trucks
are invited 10 visit the Velie truck
factory, where trucks in all stages of
construction can be seen, and the
motor and parts entering into them
carefully examined.

Claude Kipp won the only point of
the Rock Island team in the 440-yard
dash, with fine squirt just before the
tape, beating out a Galesburg man by
about three or four inches. The team
was outclassed, but although the local
boys won but one medal. they were
likewise last in no race. The team was
handicapped by the loss of Kenneth
KOhn, the star sprinter of the high
school, who was not permitted to par
ticipate because of being behind in his
studies.
Throughout the meet the running
was close, between Davenport. Gales
burg and Monmouth. And as the meet
progressed it was evident that the re-
suit of it would be in the winning of
the 220-yard dash. Davenport had two
strong men entered, Roche and
Rhodes, while Monmouth had its
star Splinter, Williams. who holds the
Big Eight record for the 220-yard hur-
dies. Galesburg had some men also
who won in the heats. The race start
ed, and Williams, who had already run
in eight races. fell exhausted near the
finish. This settled the meet, for Dav-

Orange Juice Analysis.

Extract from Speech of Hon. R. P.
Burton at Meeting Florida Horticu!-
tural Society, May 4, 1922
So much having been said, publicly
and privately, after the passing of
the immature citrus fruit bill as to
when an orange was ripe or when it
was sweet, or when immature, that
the Florida Citrus Exchange decided
to carry on a series of experiments
in the way of analysis of oranges
from different localities at different
times. in order to determine some Of
the uncertain questions at point.
Some years ago certain experiments
were made by the bureau of chemistry
of the United States department Of
agriculture, in the way of analyses Of
oranges at different stages of matur-
ity being very careful in their deter
mination of the total percentage Of
citric acid in the juice and total per
centase of sugar as inyert in the
juice, and the Exchange line Of work
was inaugurated to follow this plan
