BUYS BIG TRACT
ACROSS CITY LINE
TO PLAT AND SELL
Louis Mosenfeider Secures s0.acre
Maak Property on Thirtieth
Street for $4,000.
Is BET0ND EIGHTEENTH AVENUE
Important Incident in Development Of
Territory to the South-Shows
Larger Values.

One Of the largest deals in land in
recent years was contaminated this
morning in the purchase bv Louis
Bloseufelder Of the 60-acre farm of
Peter Max on Thirtieth street road
lust south Of Eighteenth avenue. The
amount named was approximately
$4,000 The tract adjoins the addition
owned by Thomas Campbell and is
one Of the most beautiful and con
veniently located tracts at the edge Of
the city and yet undeveloped. Growth
Of the municipality on two sides and
prospects Of early annexation made il
too valuable to be longer held for
farming purposes.
The purchase of this land by Mr..
Nosenfelder is certain to insure the
Development of Thirtieth street, as the
tract viii be Immediately subdivided
into acre lots and offered for sale.
In the past Mr. Mosenfelder has
been Identified with this work a mum
Der Of years. laying out and plating
numerous subdivisions in various parts
Of the city, handling perhaps more
projects Of this nature than any other
one agency in Rock Island.
Among the most important subdi-
visions developed under his direction
might be named the Black Hawk addi-
tons, on Ninth and Twelfth avenues
and Twelfth and Seventeenth streets.
the Thirtieth street additions, the Elev-
enth street addition and Long View
Heights addition, all Of which have
been well improved. Mr.. Mosenfelder's
purchase and plating Of the Rodman
Heights addition, adjacent 70 Sears,
was one Of the principal agencies that
led to the annexation of Sears to this
city.
In the last purchase on Thirtieth
street it is safe to predict that the
tract viii be subdivided, sold and i'm
proved as quickly as any Of the other
projects handled by Mr.. Mosenfelder.
Reaping Sears Results
Attention viii be attracted to the
Thirneth street tract, which will nat
urally lead to the development Of one
of the main arteries from this city to
Rock river. Again. the deal shows the
effect of the annexation Of Sears on
the prices Of real estate.
The project is one Of several now IN

Of land south of Eighteenth avenue and
made possible largely through prospec-
tive extension of urban facilities be-
yond Eighteenth avenue.

this does not suit the educated

MY dear Rev.
Well in these days when
cupid amt got hut one more jolt

i want to write note and make
reply to what brother Brown

For it appears that be amt i'm.
vid ed true spirit of paper aud
why he should make remark a.
bout Creation and Formation
which dear Ed. breaches about
is more than l know is so be,
cause the brother has set in
midst of where word was preach
ed time and again. And also
his name amt Black, There is
something strange about man
who amt signing name to things
he writes but takes other names
For example will brother Brown
explain why it is that be was
with Tom Taggart last Thurs
day night If he is as good fol-
lower of Progressivism he would
not have did this. The facts is
that the brother has not acted
just right several times. They
held held session at Geraldine
flats and later went to oyster
stew at California house where
both made speeches that didn't

Editor dear CRESSET.
Sir,
| have read with much interest
gopher column of paper this
week and am glad to see that
you are again printing ali that
is sent you in the way OF news;
but I am sorry that G. M, J,
amt man enough to coke out Dol
dly and tell us his whole name?
| like his stuff very much but it
ainI nearly so nice as if he was
telling US just who he is and
what he does.
He has right idea about dear
Cressett. however an knows that
he is telling the truth when be
says that the great melody must
have been wonderful when it
could inspire too such great
edifices of our new world
symphony and the other "TaE
WORLDS CREsSET.
We are al, sorry to see sad
story on front page of paper
last week by sudden death.
But we know that the Ed. done
his duty by Offering the sister
surviving, all kindness needtul
service in time of need. l amt
had any chalanges yet but as
paper has only just been receiv
ed l suppose i will have to he
patient ana wait for results.
Bro. Parsons tooth is some
better but he had to have gas
and has been laffing all the week
1t seems shat the doc. give him
axfiXiating gas instead of laffing
gas to start with and that only
by calling in first aid to the dead
we're the doctors able to save
dear BROS. life. But when they
did get him alive again they gave
him so much latfing gas that be
is still Iafiing as a consequence.
II do beat all how some folks
does have real troubles,
Rev. Edmison kicked publicity
gave to him in dear Cresset
about preaching 2 sermons last
sunday and wants to know If l
will writ you that he is going to
preach two more tomorrow at
Shelbyville, but I don't think it
we'll to make TOO much fuss
about no new preacher or else he
will forget all that he learned
out of bible and so this time I
will fail to mention that be will
preach tomorrow at shelbyville.
All other things bein the same
and hopein that the Ed will take
up subject suggested in Gopher
column about wet or dry idea an
drop Formation aud Creation as
soon az it can be dropped and
hoping that GNU will tell US
about hisself we is in love abiding
