TONS OF SCOT RUIN

ariIy blinded by a veritable rain of
inky black SCOT, which descended in
copious quantities from the sky
Several beautiful millinery and sar-

SCOT and a number OF immacu-

Of stokers on an ocean liner.
Great chunks of blackness lodged
in various eyes, temporarily binding
the sufferers. Officer Furlong insti-
tuted an investigation and discovered
that a chimney sweep was responsible
for the phenomena. The man with
the peaked hat was shoveling SCOT
out of a chimney by the bushel and
casting it to the four winds of heaven.
The operations. which we're being con-
Quoted in an alley between Second and

PROGRESS MADE
ON new BUILDING
Walls of Rock Island Telephone
Exchange Extending Sky
ward After Delay.

Work on the new home of the Rock
Island exchange of the Central Union
Telephone company, being erected at
635 Eighteenth street, is now prog
ressing rapidly and indications are
that with favorable weather the build
ing will be turned over to the owners
by Jan l, 1914
At present the foundation work is all
complete and the brick walls of the
first story are extending heavenward.
Delays resulting from the late arrival
of material caused the contractors
much concern at first.
The work has proceeded far enough
to give an onlooker an idea of how
the structure will appear when COM
pleted. The building is similar in
every respect to those being erected
by the telephone company in Chicago
and other large cities in the state.
The building is to be two stories
high. 94x75 feet. "Danyille PAYERS
brick is being used in the erection
of the structure and Bedford stone for
the trimmings.
A handsome entrance on Eighteenth
street will admit to the first floor
which will contain two large rooms
The first, the commercial room, will
contain the pay stations and Offices
of the various officers and employees
! The apparatus room will also be locat
! ed on this floor. The operating room
and the operators quarters will be
located on the second floor. In the
basement will be found the cables
batteries and the engine room. The
structure is being erected by the
James Black Masonry and Construc
ton company of St Louis, at a cost
of $4,000
While the building will be com
pleted Jan. l, it is very probable that
it will be some time before the
switch boards and other apparatus is
installed in the new structure, max
ing it ready for occupancy.

REAL ESTATEPART
IN CITY BUILDING
Edward K. Putnam of Daven-
port Tells of Exchange in
Club Talk.

That the real estate associations
tate dealers and property owners,
was the substance of an interest
ing talk made by Edward X. Putnam,
president of the Davenport Real Es-
tate exchange at the third of the series
of short MONDAY lunch talks at the
Rock Island club today
Mr.. Putnam in opening said: when
was a boy, Rock Island advertised
itself as having the best view of Dav-
export and now we in Davenport are
about ready to advertise as having
the best view of Rock Island
The speaker said that he had not
been trained for the real estate bust
ness, but that it was thrust upon him.
He related a few of the amusing
experiences he had when he first
went into the vocation Mr. Putnam
stated that the views of the real estate
business depended largely upon which
side of the fence a person stands. If
the landlord he would expect a great
deal of the tenant and if the latter,
much would be expected of the owner.
He then related how some dealers at
times get a big commission for little
or no work and how at other times
are not recompensed
The object of the associations or
exchanges" Mr.. Putnam said, sis to
! get away from these abuses and to
! place the business on an established
basis. The association protects The
/ dealer and the owner. A real estate
/ man can not afford to misrepresent the
property he has for sale, and property
won't be miirepresented if in the
hands of well organized real estate
men,
! The speaker said that il pays to
give the business to well organized
real estate men; that real estate men
should set up high standard, live up
to it and should no, try to get commits.
sions not earned, and that they should
avoid any underhanded work. He
advanced one of the theories of the
association listing property with a
number of real estate men as wise
as the deal is closed more quickly
and that more money is made than
by offering property for sale through
one dealer.
Another point" said Mr. Putnam
lis that no person is more Interested
in the upbuilding of a city than a
real estate man" He then went Oh
to state that dealer in many ways
could not only profit by the upbuild
ing of city, but could help mater
tally in assisting it. He stated thai
real estate men should be the first t.
help make a city greater, and told o.
several ways in which they could dc
this.
He closed by saying that he looked
upon the three towns as one anC
that any new business established il
any of the three cities is a help L
the others as well.
H. H CleaveIand was called upor
for few remarks by President Cabl,
and responded briefly.
