mains for you, Mr.. Woodcock, for the
citizens of Dubuque, and for your fell
low townsmen of the tri-cities, to get
together and build from the Lincoln
highway to your cities road so much
better than any one that we can build,
that the tourists will of necessity and
naturally, leave ours and go to yours.
If you can so arouse and stimulate that
interest in good roads as to bring
about the construction of hundreds of
thousands of miles better than the
Lincoln Highway, you will have &C
complished an even better project than
the construction of the Lincoln high
way. With kind personal regards, and
in the hope that the Lincoln highway
may hear from your section with lib

Z. ". Woodcock of Moline was
delegate TO the American road con-
gress, held recently at Detroit, Mich.
and gave an address before that body.
The main object in attending this
congress was to get in close personal
touch with the Lincoln Highway asso-
citation, hoping thereby to possibly ef-
feet change In the publicly pro-
claimed Lincoln memorial route, so as
70 take In the tri-cities. Finding this
impossible, the logical endeavor then
Was TO register a'tri-city unselfish sp.r-
IL OF cooperation in this most worthy
memorial movement and in the inter
est of tri-city good roads generally. Mr..
Woodcock's address follows:
As a duly accredited delegate to the
American road congress, now In ses-
sion at Detroit, and representing var
ious commercial and other club or
Eanisations OF the historical tri-cities,
Moline, Rock Island in the state OF IL
linois, and Davenport in the state of
Iowa, desire 10 presen; briefly to the
Lincoln Highway association a few
salient facts which l trust may be re-
garded as sufficiently important to
cause this middle west industrial cen.
ter 10. at least, have prominer>s recog-
milton on the official map of the Lin.
coin Memorial highway.
The tri-cities, Moline, Rock Island
and Davenport, with a combined popu-
lation closely Bpproximating 10000,
are located on historical ground. They
are so closely related and allied, so
oially, commercially and industrially.
that they represent one community of
interest, and desire TO be so regarded
IN the presentation Of their claims for
recognition on the official, map OF the
Lincoln Memorial highway
The citizens Of this community are
so broadminded and patriotic that they
fully appreciate the force of the crys-
talized thought given public expression
in the recently issued proclamation
and appeal by the Lincoln Highway
association. They not only appreciate
the unselfish devotion of the band OF
idealists who conceived and pressed
forward this national highway memor.
ial monument, in wholesome recogni.
ton of the manifest virtues and pub.
lie service of one of our greatest men
among men, but they stand ready to
as unselfshly join the ranks OF the
vast army now so yaliantly marching
forward to victory in the accomplish.
ment OF this most worthy cause. To
this end they have already commenced
to stimulate interest and action in the
memorial movement through a syste
matte campaign of local publicity.
AS this community is the recognized
heart and center of what is popularity
known az the great middle west. and
as very little Of permanent value can
be accomplished along any line OF pub
lie activity, except through education
nj unity of purpose, public spirited
citizens are now consistently planning

cent growth in three years. There are
now operating in this city II large
manufacturing industries, employing
between 5000 and 1000 hands. 1t also
boasts of four churches, four grade
schools and one high school Also II
miles of concrete sidewalks, IL miles
of water mains, liz miles of sewer
and eight miles of paved streets. Dur
ing this rapid growth the City Beau
tifur' has not been lost sight of; 100
fine elm trees are now growing in the
parkways.
Immediately joining East Moline on
the east another thriving city is
sprirging up like magic. Under the
inspiring wand of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific railway, mammoth
car and repair shops have recently

it is now regarded as a great public
park and recreation ground and is
open TO tourists all the year around
The island is three miles in length
AID over one mile in width. In addi
ton to the government workshops
which are all constructed OF stone,
there are many beautiful homes for
the ordnance department officers and
families. These homes surrounded by
magnificent trees and shrubbery line
the banks OF the river on the west.
On the west side OF the island there
is also 10 be found an artistic and
conImodious golf club house together
with an 1S-hole golf course which
cannot be surpassed for picturesque
ness. One unique feature about this
golf course lies in the fact that the
drivewaYs are so arranged that a golf
loving e9liery can be seated comfort
ably in automobiles and unobstructed-
ly watch every play that is made, thus
affording interesting amusement to
many tourists.
In calling passing attention to 9TH
er numerous beautiful parks and ideal
residence districts with which the tri-
cities are so beautifully provided. it is
well to state that the distance from
Chicago to this great industrial and
social center is only an ideal days run
of III miles. Better hotel and garage
accommodations cannot be found west
of Chicago, than can be found in any
one OF the three, cities. This claim
alone is entitled to careful co9sidera-
ton.
( Outside OF the gigantic and modern
| industrial enterprises which have
made the tri-cities famous the world
over, tourists will here find an atmos-
| phere of intelligent optimism which
I is extremely refreshing. Our confidence
| in the constant improvement of the
world is not matter of faith alone
! 1t is matter of knowledge. Our hope
! fulness consists in our realization that
/ 1t is in mems power TO improve the
world they live in. We know that by
/ organized and well directed effort
tyrranies of the past have been over
turned and slaveryShas been abolish
/ ed and that by removing and overcom-
/ ing other plaques born of ignorance
and superstition, life in the 10th cen
fury has moved toward the ideal as
( compared with life in the eighteenth
century, We know that what men
/ have done in the past they can con-
tinue TO do. We no longer look to
potentates to bring us relief. We are
conscious OF our ability to remedy mat
tiers by our own activities and in this
spirit of optimism we are building and
will continue to build good roads.
l desire TO call special attention to
the marvellous growth of the city of
East Moline. Five years ago the ter.
ritory bordering on the eastern boun.
dary line Of the city of Moline was de-
voted almost exclusively to agricul
ture. Only a few scattering houses
other than farm houses were visible
/ Now thriving and hustling city has
spread over a distance of five miles
between Moline and WATERFOWL, where
1t located one of the states largest
and most modern equipped institutions

East Moline had a population of 1890
In 1913 the population increased tc

SW|NOLER CANNED
Mining Promoter Who Operated
in the Black Hills

Deadwood, Jan. 22.-After a spec
tscular career of over 10 years in the
Black Hills and other mining sections
of the west, H. II. Hugely. one of the
smonthest swindlers in the mining
game, has been sentenced to serve IF
teen years in San Quentin penitenti-
airy, California, for obtaining money
under false pretenses in Los Angeles.
Word to this effect has just been re-
ceiyed here. DIR. Muggley was highly
educated. widely travelled and possessed
a M ost interesting personality which
made his many nefarious scheme easy.
Some years ago he promoted ID
smelter at Rapid City and induced
the citizens there to give him a par.
.latial home but about the time the
smelter failed to pan out properly,
Muggley sought more congenial sur
roundiugs. He entered into numerous
mining schemes here that seemed plaus-
ible and drew much attention finally
but his investors usually found that
their money had been placed illad-
visedly. Last year he spent six months
in the county Jail here, having been
brought back from Kansas City to face
a minor fraud charge. Previous TO
this he had been travelling around the
country in great style with "a woman
companion although he has a wife in
the east. He was taken from Jail here
to Los Angeles.

STERLING WINS
On First Joint Ballot for United
States Senator

Pierre, Jan. %, 1880 p. m. Special:
The legislature in first joint session at
noon today balloted on United States
senator with the result that Sterling re.
ceived 100 votes, and was declared
elected.
The three Lake coulty members.
Messrs. Bowel, Urdahl and Groce,
voted for Sterling both on separate and
joint ballot.
Pierre, Jan. % Following a night
of hard work by both sides. the first
clash between the Sterling and reac-
tionary forces was brought to a climax
yesterday when both branches of the
Legislature gathered in their respective
houses to ba Hot for United States sena-
tor. Both houses began routine work
at 10 o'clock and the gallaries were
we'll filed before the law makers were
in their places. A skirmish between
the two forces took place in the house
at 10:40 when Morris of Sphinx, floor
leader for the Sterling forces, moved
to proceed with the election of sens.
tor. Ziebach, democrat, opposed this
and his motion to take up the matter
at the time originally set, was carried
by 40 to As vote. The early vote in
the house was decided by the Sterling
forces for the effect that its result
might have on the senate which WAS
classed as doubtful.
Promptly at 1870 O'Clock both hous-
es were called to order to take up the
election and the name of Thomas Sterl-
ing was placed in nomination in the
house by Representative Heglin of Clay
county, Sterling's home,
He told of the high esteem in which
the nominee was held in his home
county and related how the dean had
attained his present prominence in
the state and how he had been afili
ated in times past with such important
undertakings as the constitutional
convention and the founding of the
law department of the state univers
ity of which he was dean until he
resigned to enter the campaign for
the senatorship. Following Heglin's
speech the democrats nominated e. S.
johnson as their candidate and the re-
dictionaries put ia nomination a num-
Der of men taking occasion to inform
the house that they were republicans
and that their ancestors had also been
members of that party. This, they
claim, gave them the right to read
Sterling out of the party. w. A.
Morris for ten years the law partner
of Sterling, then arose and seconded
his nomination, in a ringing speech
calling the republicans to duty.
