QUINCY TO BUILD
MUNICIPAL DOCK
RIVER BOOSTERS ARE TOLD OF
PLANS CITY HAS MADE TO
USE WATERWAY.

Quincy, ILL.,, Dec. 3.-Plans for the
| first unit of big river and railway
terminal system and which the city
of Quincy proposes to build, were des-
cribed yesterday before the Upper
Mississippi River Improvement asso-
cations convention by William 4.
Abott, mayor of this city. He argued
that similar projects should be under
taken by other river municipalities.
After detailing the manner in which
interest in revival Of water trafic was
aroused here, Mayor Abbott said in
part:
"A committee knows as the joint
jointly of business men and city OIL
Gals, approved plans which contem-
plate the erection of sea wall $50
feet long, elevated to point sufficient
ly above low water mark to be reason
ably secure from food stage of the
river; the filling in of the shore side
of the wall to the height Of the same,
the construction of modern freight
house 300 feet in length for taking
care Of package freight, equipped with
electric trucks Of capacity adapted to
handling the various bulks and
weights of such freight Of this char
acter as may be received, by means
of which said freight can be easily and
rapidly conveyed to and from an cleo
trically operated freight package ele-
vator built in the sea wall, which will
receive the truck with its load and
raise or lower it to the deck of tho
vessel. This is particularly for the
handling of package freight.
Bulk freight is to be taken care Of
by travelling crane of twenty-five
tons capacity, moving on it's own
tracks, about 500 feet in length, with
sufficient length of beam to place load
wherever required in barge or vessel.
A locomotive crane with busket IN
cubic yards capacity for handling coal,
sand, gravel and like commodities is
also being considered as part of the
equipment. This locomotive would
be available for switching freight cars
over the terminal tracks to the places
for loading and unloading"

SHIPPERS FEELING
SHORTAGE OF CARS

All railroads have at a certain time
of the year "car shortage" or in other
words congestion of cars. This is
caused by the holding of cars at the
unloading points and also by negligent
shippers, by not loading at the proper
time. It is thought by the local freight
agents that car shortage this year will
be greater than many years preceding.
This does not only affect the shipping
agents but those who do extensive
shipping. The local producers are
finding trouble already in getting their
produce to the eastern markets and
they have orders to have all their poul.
try ready for shipment by the 18th of

Editor The Ottumwa Courier,
Ottumwa, Iowa.
Dear Sir:
The Fairfield Daily Journal Of this
date contains quotation from The
Ottumwa Courier, presumably of re-
cent date, relative to the proposed
Parsons.Iowa Wesleyan consolidation
in which you are quoted as follows:
"This college Gowa Wesleyan) was
the first co-educational school In the
United States and Lucy Fitzpatrick
Byrkit, of Mt. Pleasant, was the first
woman to be graduated with a bac.
calaureate degree. She received her
degree in 1852" II you have been
correctly quoted by The Fairfield
Daily Journal, beg to call your at
tention to the fact that you are quite
in error in making the above state.
ment. The first co-educationa1 college
in the United States was Oberlin
which opened its doors December 8.
1888, with an attendance Of twenty
nine men and fifteen women. This
was nine years before Iowa Wesleyan
was founded. The charter to Oberlin
was granted by the legislature Of Ohio
in February, 1884, and to quote from
it's historical records. "The institu-
ton began to do college work IN
1884" Three young women were
graduated from the college in August,
l1S41, and were the first young women
who received degrees in the Arts IN
this country. 1t will be noted that
this date is year prior to the found
ing of Iowa Wesleyan and eighteen
years, according to your own state.
ment, before the first graduate went
forth from that institution.
The writer is an alumnus Of Ober
lin and quite familiar with the facts
in the case, but for the corroboration
of his statement as above, he would
refer you to The Encyclopedias Bri
tannica, Eleventh Edition, Vol. XIX
page CAT, where 1t is stated: "Ober
| lin was the first American college tc
adopt co-education of sexes, and was
a pioneer in America (1S35) in the
co-education Of the white and blach
races" Iowa Wesleyan has an hon
orable record of which she may vel
be proud. but she was not "the frs
co-educational school in the United
States" That honor belongs tt
another and older college.
Very truly yours,
