railway officials have visited East Mo-

erecting an addition to the station at
this place. There is one thing GER
tain and that is that more room is
needed to properly handle the COM

company's officials are and have been
conscious of this fact for some time
and it is hoped that they will help
the prosperity wagon along by giving
this promising young city a model
railway station. 1t is gossiped that
an addition will be erected to the old
station this Coming spring. OF course
this will be a great convenience, as
well as needed necessity, but it will
not provide East Moline with what
its progress calls for and what the fu-
ture of the city will before long de-
