Rise of Manila as a Port of Call.

One feature of the far eastern
shipping situation that is of more
than passing significance is the rise
of Manila as port. A year ago
increased calls of ships of all lines,
and especially the determination of
the European mail lines to esnd YES
sells to Manila on their homeward
trip during certain seasons of the
year, were announced. This years
schedules provide for calls at Manila
of most of the transpacific mail boats
sailing by way of Japan and Homo
lulu. Heretofore sailings from the
United States to Hongkcng via Ma
Mia were limited to one ship per
month, and sailings from Hongkong
to the United States by way of Ma
Mia were practically nil. Under the
from Hongkong to San Francisco via
Hawaii proceed by way of Manila,
leaving out Shanghai (Which was
formerly one of the principal ports
of call for all transpacific steamers)
and on the voyage from San Francis
co to Hongkong only the large boats
of the American line and few 9TH
er ships proceed to Shanghai, Manila
in each case being new port of call.
While several explanations are Of
fered for the change, including the
enforcement of the zone bottom"
rule on ships from the United States
to the Philippines, the plain fact of
the situation is that the Philippines
now have the tonnage to offer, and
the lines send their vessels by that
route for the business which they
find there in paying quantities.

SkENGERFEST MAY BE
HELD HERE IN 1918

There is possibility that Moline
may be offered as the scene for the
big Swedish national saengerfest, held
Quadrennially, when the next assem-
blage convenes in Minneapolis next
year, the local date, in that case
being 1918. The Svea male choir is
endeavoring to get a leader to take
the place of Rev. w. E. Pearson, who
went to Willmar, Mimi, and the po-
sitiop will probably go either to Prof.
J. Y. Berquist, head o. the Augustana
conservatory of music, or to Martin
Anderson, one OF the Svea members,
who has had considerable experience
along these lines. The annual Svea
chorus fair will be held in Turner hall
Thanksgiving week, if the hall can
be secUred for that date. Otherwise,
if the Turner's want it then, arrange
men,s fer some other time will be
announced a. next weeks meeting.

DRAW BRIDGE IS
TO BE REQUESTED
Congressman Tavenner to Be
Asked to Change Bill for
Necessary Substitute.

Congressman Tavenner has been
written to by Lieutenant w c. Jirdin-
ston of the naval reserves, with the
view of getting him to change Els bill
for the bridge between Moline and
Arsenal island so that it will be a
draw bridge instead of the ordinary
one
This move has been brought about
largely by the factories located along
the river, which would thus be in po-
sition to have boats land at their doors,
something otherwise impossible.
Local manufacturers have an eye for
the future, and the completion o. A..
Panama canal is one OF the incentives
toward the proposed alteration in the
bridge plans, since if it is carried out,
goods could thus be shipped direct to
the canal and thence to the Pacific
coast, without change. 1t is believed
that no objection to the change will
be entertained by Mr.. Tavenner.

ESCAPE FROM DEATH

A farmer, whose name was not
learned, had narrow escape from a
possible e-ectrocution last Friday aft
ernoon. the incident happening in a
peculiar manner. He had driven mo
town between 4 and o'clock in the
afternoon, and while near Seventh
avenue and Fifteenth street, a broken
trolley wire suddenly sagged down on
top of the umbrella attached to the
seat. The umbrella was torn, but for
tunately the contact with the wires
did not occur. and the man was as,
sisted out from under, minus injury.
AS it was. traffic was blocked for nearly
an hour. Strain on the wire is
thought 20 have been the cause of the
break.
