OUT ROAD
WORK IN COUNTY
State Highway Commission Is
Soon Ready to Advertise
for Bids.

Six engineers sent out by the Illinois
state highway commission yesterday
afternoon surveyed the section of road
near Sears which has been designated
as one of those to receive first atten-
ton under the Tice law. Today the
force went to Yuma, where a strip of
the Rock River route is to be sur
veyed. From Yuma the party will go
to Taylor Ridge to work on the road
there, which will be built as a sample
for the lower end of the country. The
engineers are working with Wallace
Treichler, county highway engineer.
AS soon as they have finished the au-
thorities will be ready to issue specifi-
cations and advertise for bids on the
work.
This county has $4,000 now avail
able for building hard roads and it is
expected that nearly two miles can be
for this sum. The board
of supervisors designated the strips
of road referred to as the first to re-
ceive attention.

In addition to selections by all the
grades OF the Milan pupils, Miss Olson
read an instructive paper on THE I'm

CONCERT BAND is
A SHOW FEATURE
Program Given Each Evening in
Down Town Section Pre-
cedes Park Exhibition.

So far this week the Waters Concert
band, in its concerts on the downtown
streets, has devoted itself chiefly to
selections from various favorite operas.
Tonight, however, a special program
of popular airs has been arranged, and
will be rendered in Market square at
Z o'clock. Professor Fred Waters gen
orally plays at least one program of
popular airs each week.
This band is connected with the A.
Il. Miller's Greater Shows, now on
view at Exposition park. The band
would do credit to any chautauqua
platform. 1t. consists of a we'll chosen
aggregation of young American play
ers, recruited from all over the United
States by the conductor. Mr.. Waters
1t is seldom that carnival company
has such a splendid band. This band
handles the heaviest" of selections
with the ease II does some light and
fluffy popular air.
An immense crowd was present at
the park last night and all of the at.
fractions were literally attended The
Eruption of Mt. Kitamaura," a most
pleasing spectacular production of
fireworks. including a ballot dance by
pretty young women, was appreciated
by the large crowd. The carnival will
be in Rock Island Ill this week. The

JURY ACQUITS IN
FIRST FISH CASE
Charles Phillips Found Not
Guilty of Claiming in Rock
River Without License.

c. ]. Phillips. charged with illegal
fishing. was found not guilty by jury
in county court yesterday afternoon. II
was alleged that the defendant
clammed in Rock river. which is a fish
preserve. without the license of $50
for each boat used, required of all non
residents.
The jury got the case about $3.50 and
in less than an hour. returned a YER
dict of acquittal. Phillips denied he
was a nonresident and claimed that he
brought tent with him and that he
intended to make this his home for the
summer.
Deputy Game Warden Elmer McDole,
who made the arrest, claimed that for
the past six or seven years. Phillips
had been coming from his home in
Muscatine to clam in Rock river. Wit
ne5ses from the Iowa town were put on
the stand to prove that the defendant
voted at Muscatine. but the definition
OF the term nonresident, is so vague
in the Illinois laws that it is difficult
to secure a conviction. The cases
against Russell Lindsay and Leonard
Long, who were arrested with Phillips,
were dismissed following the verdict
in the first trial. William McEniry ap-
peared for the prosecution and H. NJ
McCaskrin and b. a. Stewart for the
defense

Report on Rock Island Urges
New Road Crossing River
at Keokuk.

If the accommodation of Z. w Nc
Kenna, vice president of the c. NJ. &
St p, is ever acted upon the Rock Is
land road will send much less of its
business through the three cities than
il does now. Mr.. McKenna, who has
just completed a report on the Rock
Island, recommends an air line to
Kansas City via Peoria and Keokuk.
This will have a potent effect n
reducing transportation expenses" he
says. A reduction in the ratio or
transportation expenses to gross earn
ings 10 some points between 80 and
81 per cent" is estimated in the report.
There is very little doubt says
Mr.. McKenna, that this Improvement
would place the entire property in a
of such increased efficiency
in it's operation that sufficient earning
power would be developed to restore
the stock of the railway company TO
at least its par value
The plan advocated, however, seems
to have little prospect of being adopt
ed in the present state of the roads
finances and prospects fo1 the raising
of additional revenue.
