WILL
 PICK RUNS TOMORROW

Because of the many changes made on the different runs throughout the city as well as on some of the subur- ban lines since June "A, the trolley men will pick new runs tomorrow. At present many men who have runs on the North Main street line are in the company's employ only few years and others who have been working much longer on other lines will be given the preference in choosing runs for this line.
 Another change to be instituted by the company and which will go into effect Friday, Aug. 4, will be the dis continuance of cars running to West port on 20 minute headway. This was tried by the company for the past month and according to Charles H. Chapman, manager of the Bridgeport division of the Connecticut Co.,, has been poorly patronized.
 After Aug. cars leaving for Vest port will run every 40 minutes. The 20 minutes headway between this city and Southport will still be main tained.

has been caused in Picking by insistent
rumors that the revolutionists have
constructed number of aerOplanes in
Yunnan province and have purchased
flying machines from abroad, which
they intend to use in attacking the gov
eminent troops throughout the south

er, and has four machines at the avia-
ton school near Picking.
Recently the department of military

planes. The instructions provide that
a search shall be made throughout the

WORK ADVANCING
ON HIGHWAY PLAN
Fund Necessary TO Improve Burling.
ton Way Here Is Nearly Com.
pleted by Local Body.

Plans for Improvement of the Knox
Vile road In connection with the Bur-
lington way project are now proceed
ing swiftly here. Fred W. Young has
been named secretary of the joint To-
cal committee and it was announced
today that two-thirds of the $4,000
necessary to carry the project through
had been secured and that it was ex-
pected that the remainder would be
raised within the next few weeks.
Rock Islands share of road includes
10 miles of highway between here and
Galesburg on the Knoxville road. This
stretch will be graded, drained, oiled
and rolled. Galesburg has already
raised its fund and awarded contracts
for the road work. New Windsor has
arranged to improve stretch three
miles long toward Rock Island. AS
quickly as the fund is completed here
contract will be awarded and work
started. Word comes from Moline that
a considerable stretch of the highway
near Port Byron has already been i'm
proved.
The Burlington way as originally
planned will run from New Orleans
to Duluth and will come through this
city. The United States government
has decided to establish four national
highways, two running east and west,
and two north and south. and the To-
cal boosters are working to have the
Burlington way designated as one Of
them.
