The monthly reports given by the
Bridge Builders and Structural Soci-
ETY. In 1915 indicate that the total sales
of the f~abricating shops in the coun-
try last year averaged a little less than
~ per cent. OF total shop capacity.
This would indicate that a little more
than 1900, 900 tons of fabricated steel
shapes were sold for use In the con-
struction of. railway and highway
bridges, manufacturing plant extensions
and commercial and Government build
ings. II IL estimated that about 49,

said to be due to the fact that -Egan
expects to draw his crowd from these
towns. The team will be made up
largely Of Muscatine players with one
or two each from Marshalltown, Wa

ers will be chosen, one to be used In

culties arising in the Illinois city.
Three-I League baseball is not paying
there, and this week the members OF
the team notified the ma nagement that
If back salaries were not paid the club
would not make the scheduled road
trip. 1t was said the club was con-
fronted with the problem of raising
$1,000 forthwith. The directors of the
club signed notes for $500 to secure
the money needed to carry the club

MUScATINE'S BIG CROWDS,
Play to 845 Admissions on Big Day Of
Recent Series.

Muscatine newspapers are making
much of the big attendance at the
recent series between Marshalltowr
and the Muskies, dubbed the little
worlds SERIES" and point with pride
to the S45 paid admissions on Thurs
day, booster day, when business prac.
tically was suspended thruout the
city.
The attendance on that day is sale
to have been the largest ever known
in Muscatine on week day. The fig
ures excite no wonder here, however
as they have been surpassed on the
home field at week day games wher
nothing so important as pennan,
winning was at stake.
Had the recent series been staged
in Marshalltown, with business sus-
pended. an attendance of 1000 would
have been expected. With gooi
weather next week the Muskies prob.
ably will have all opportunity to SEE
what real crowd looks like.

PROFITS BY VIADUCT
Third Ward Secures Fine Improvement
and An Important Business Industry
by Construction Of Viaduct.

The building of the Third avenue
viaduct necessitated the removal Of all
industries located under it.
The Gregory Coal, Coke and Lime
Company chose to locate at 500 South
Second street at the corner Of Second
and Railroad streets because 1t placed
them much nearer the center of coal
consumers and because 1t located them
where there could not possibly be any
hndrance from trains. Where farmers
do not even have to cross a railroad
nor be annoyed with switching of cars.
This company being so firmly estab-
lished in the business, having been
here since 1888, have equipped one Of
the most convenient economical and
complete coal handling plants west Of
Chicago.
The most important part of coal
handling business is the scale, its ac-
curacy and reliability at all times. Fully
realizing this a scale pit of sufficient:
depth for a man to stand erect has
been made of concrete connected by a
door with the basement Of the office
and covered with water tight roof.
This fully protects it from the elements
| and gives easy access to the mechani-
| cal parts that should have frequent at
| tention.
A very neat commodious office on
| the corner of Second and . Railroad
| has been constructed of brick and
| plastered outside with cement. Three
| hundred feet of bin room has been ce-
mented and covered. These bins are
| arranged along elevated tracks upon
| which the cars are placed and the coal
| is dumped from the cars to the bins.
large fifty-ton car of coal can be
| unloaded in thirty minutes. While this
| is great labor saving arrangement
| the principal advantage Is that the coal
| does not break as when thrown owe:
the side Of the car by hand, conse :
quently is much coarser and cleaner.
Arrangement is also made for sprink-
| ling the coal when it leaves the yard,
| that the customer may receive his coal
! free from dust and at the same time
| not have his own lawn or premises
! flooded or the coal put into his cellar
| dripping wet, as all surplus water
will have drained before reaching the
| place of delivery. a4t
Everything about the plant has been
| constructed with the idea in mind that
He profits most who serves best
| knowing that satisfied customers are
the best advertisers man can have.
A warehouse for lime, cement, plas-
| ter, mortar colors (seven different col
ors), waterproofing fancy brick for
columns and pilasters, fire brick and
| fire clay.
An inspection Of this plant and it's
operation will be interesting to any
one who wants to take the time to d.
so. Gregory Coal. Coke and Line

Just spread it on with the fingers. Rub
it in. First you feel a gentle glow, then
a delicious, cooling comfort. Musterole

place in the western conference, maxi
ing its own athletic engagements, as
is done by Michigan, Notre Dame and

The Immediate cause of the action

to be the refusal Of the Missouri Val
