Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1913-04-19


Standing on the crest of Eagles
Nest bluff opposite Oregon, H., the
statue of Black Hawk, fashioned and
presented by the great sculptor, Lor-
ado Taft, overlooks the most pictur-
esque spot in Rock river valley. This
statue was unveiled two years ago,
July l, 1911. There were present at
that ceremony 500 persons. 1t was
quite an exclusive affair, there being
poets, painters, sculptors, authors
and multi-millionaires present; but
the great Indian figure was unveiled
and now its impressive beauty be
longs to every beholder. 1t should
be of special interest to Rock Island
ers, as the statue is dedicated to
Black Hawk. 1t is not a physical
likeness of the great Sac chief, and
was not designed to be, but it is a
most noble monument to his memory.
At the time of the dedication Mr.
Taft explained how he came to use
the particular pose which he gave to
this Indian statue. Each evening, he
said, he and others of the camp came
to the bluff to look out over the beau
tiful scene, and unconsciously they
crossed their arms and looked some
thing like Mr.. Napoleon Bonaparte"
Mr.. Taft thought that he and the rest
of the colony had been doing just
what many another person in years
a-gone had done in assuming that
pose and gradually he came to think
of a great Indian chief as standing
on the bluff, his arms across his
breast, looking out over and loving
the one grand scenic vie.s of the Rock
river valley.
The artists colony to which Mr..
| Taft referred went in 1898 from a site
on the shores of a pleasant lake in
Indiana which turned out to be ma
! larial. They had under consideration
/ the dells of Wisconsin, but finally
! selected Eagles Nest bluff at Oregon.
/ Among the names of the gentlemen
who leased the site are dorado Taft,
Charles Francis Brown and Hamlin
Garland. Their enjoyment of their
summer home there, the charming
company of friends, writer's, sculp-
| tors, musical men and women, archi-
tects, naturalists, scientists and 9TH
ers engaged in interesting occupations
who constantly come and go, and the
/ extent 10 which they have made the
1 striking features Of the Rock river
country known, are now matters OF
common knowledge One of the resi-
dents of the colony has this to say
about their location:
Our territory is said TO contain
1 Is acres, but the whole landscape is
ours to enjoy, particularly the great
panorama of the Rock river valley
extending for miles up and down
stream The view from our hsiRhtS

The "Lecompton Sun" Pro.
gressive paper says;
"The Sun wishes to protest
against the unfair treatment that
Arthur Capper, through the
Capital, has accorded t h e
Progressive Party since the
election. During the cam
paign Mr.. Capper = claimed
to believe in all those prin-
clples of the Progressive par
ty that make the line of de-
markation between the progress
i've and reactionary. After being
defeated by the treachery of the
Curtis Mulvane Dean : Clark
crowd he at once began to fiirt
with the reactionaries, who had
stabbed him and the other pro-
gressive Republicans in the back,
and ignoring those who had stood
by him.
It is evident that he would
again like to make the race for
governor, hoping for election as
a vindication of last years defeat
and is willing to compromise the
Progressives by urging them to
go back to the republican party
for the spoils.
Mr.. Capper must decide on
which ticket he will run. If, as
a Progressive, good; but if, as
he must look to Cur
tbs, Mulvane, Clark, Dean, Scott
and other reactionaries who con-
spired to defeat him for the Pro-
gressives realize that it be but
trying to serve God and Mammon
for the Progressives to go back
to the Republican party. He is
not the only man in the new par
ty who is big enough for govern
or. There is Jackson, ingalls,,
and Brady, all strong men, all
victims of the same treachery |
that defeated Capper; and yet all
have kept the faith.

Weather Forecast for 1914,
free for the asking.

Crane G Company, of Topeka,
Kansas, are celebrating their
forty-ffth anniversary IL BUSH
ness in Kansas, by furnishing
their friends and customers with
c. C. Blake's Weather Forecast
for 1914, free of charge, with the
exception of postage, &c, which
should accompany requests for
this Forecast. They have been
publishing these Forecasts for
lumber of years, charging ST.
each for the same. Mr.. Geo. w.
Crane, who was the head of this
firm for forty-fve years, up to
the time of his death in January
of this year, watched and check
ed the Forecasts of Mr.. Blake
for the past twenty-five years,
and found them to be accurate
and reliable.
Mr.. Blake is. seventy-four years
old, and his calculations are the
result of over fifty years ofstudy.
He is highly educated math-
ematician, and his calculations
are based on astronomical laws.
Mr.. Blake predicted the drouth
of 1913 more than year in adj
vance, and said that the drouth
of 1913 would be longer and more
severe than those of 1911 and
1912.
He predicts that the winter of
1894 will be an exceptionally
good one for winter wheat, and
gives great deal of other val.
liable data regarding the coming
year, which is going to be an ex-
ceptionally erratic one, and
dangerous for the farmer accord
ing to his representations.
Crane & Company have one of
the largest printing, publishing,

in this Western country, and |
they have adopted this means of
