Rock Island Commissioner Locates
MaRhOie Covered Over With
Paving at Ninth Avenue.
FIGURED on CONSTRUCTING ONE
Sewer Congestion of Last Ten Days
Demanded That Entrance Be
Made to Flush ii Out.

Some time in the past, perhaps
twelve or fifteen years ago, Rock Is
land city officials pulled "boner.'
That "boner" during the last 10 days
caused dozens Of residents On FIJI
teenth street considerable inconven-
fence and taxed the patience Of Com
missioner \. E. Juhl.
Today the "boner" was removed.
During the early part Of last week
the sewer on Fifteenth street be-
tween Eighth and Eleventh avenues
became clogged up. No manholes
were found at either Ninth or Tenth
avenues and workmen in the street
department were compelled to attempt
TO clean the drain from Eleventh ave
nue.. Every means known failed to
remedy the situation, the only result
being that residents in the section af-
fected found their anger increasing
and the street department was not
spoken kindly Of.
Monday Commissioner Juhl asked
the authority OF the council to con-
struct two manholes, one at Ninth ave-
nue. and the other at Tenth avenue. He
needed the authority because there
is not too much money in the street
department fund The commission
agreed to appropriate from the local
improvement fund The work would
cost at least $500.
Because Of the topography Of the
land the sewer lies in the earth
II feet 1t was constructed so deep
in order to give the necessary drop to
assure drainage, as there is a ridge
which it passes further south. The
soil is sandy and would be tedious.
ious
But the worries over the future end
ed today.
Find North Manh0le.
WOrkmen, after removing the bricks
and concrete foundation Of the paw
ing found the mouth of a manhOle at
Ninth avenue. 1t had been covered
over when the paving was laid The
only work now necessary is to build
the manhole up to the paving level.
1t is hoped by the street department
that another manhole will be found at
Tenth avenue. Relief was Immediate
~ given after the manhole was opened
at Ninth avenue hose was con-
nected to a hydrant and the sewer was
flushed out
The public is saved a deal of in
convenience. The construction of a
manhOle would have meant that Long
View cars would have been stopped at
the intersection and passengers would
have been forced to transfer from one
car to another during the construction
Of the manhOle

ERADICATE SELFISH DESIRE
is PLEA OF CLIFFORD
Superintendent of Caldwell Schools
Speaks on Preparedness.

Friday evening of last week Super
intendent H. H. Clifford of the CITY
public schools spoke at large gath
ering at the Garfield school, Boise
Mr.. Clifford explained how nterna-
tional conflicts may be avoided in the
future.
The address by Mr.. Clifford was
well received by the large, enthusiasts
tic audience. The Boise Statesman
Saturday, printed the following &c
count of the address:
They may be averted," said Mr..
Clifford, by being prepared, not
with armies of armed men, with ma
vles and with fortified shore lines
but by being socially prepared"
Mr.. Clifford presented his argu-
ment IN strong and emphatic man
ner. interspersing his serious talk
with lively stories, we'll impersonat-
3D. and filed with good, timely hui
man interest.
Defense Necessary.
The speaker said that under condi-
TONS that now exist among indivi-
duals, families. social groups and
states. national dcfenscs arc absolutely
necessary.
30 long as men barter and sell
tninSS that they most desire, there
viii be personal conflicts. and so long
as there are personal misunderstood
lngs, there will be group, and state
diherences. National preparedness is
imperative then until the people can
De educated out of their selfish de-
sires."
Educate Children.
10 be socially prepared, it is ne
cessary to have closer co-oDerat;o,
between the individuals in every
community" Mr.. Clifford said. This
can he most effectually secured
the agency of the public
schools. There must be closer CO.
operation between the parent and
me teacher, and the problems of the
enid must be one of common inter
est 10 have peace between nations
Is ): 10 nave peace of mind in the in
diVidual and that comes through edu-
cation alone. Prepare the child TO
ADJUST himself to the needs of the
community, and you prepare the
community to function without fric-
ton in the state"
Mr.. Clifford is a finished platform
speaker having done summer work
with the Chautauqua bureau. and bc
proved himself exceedingly nonular
with the Boise audience, which so
'rowded the assembly room that as
had to stand.
