Proclamation of the Mayor.
Appended is the proclamation issued
by Mayor MCConochie today:
One hundred years have passed in
to history since the founding of Fort
Armstrong and the century has been
one Of marvellous growth and develop
ment in all pursuits of life.
in the industries established, in the
thrifty farm homes. in the schools and
churches and in all enterprises of the
commercial world we see roundabout
us, we recognize the power and in
fiuence of the rugged men who were
beginning to make this their homes
100 years ago.
We will honor and praise these
men in the coming week. but we can
only thank them for having conserved
and developed the resources stored
here by the Almighty and All-wise
Creator
at seems proper that such cele-
hration as we are entering upon should
be begun with the dignity and re-
spect becoming such an occasion. In
asmuch as the ministers Of the
churches of the city of Rock Island
have announced their intention of de-
livering special historical sermons or
the coming Sabbath, each in his OWL
pulpit in the morning and in an ex-
change of pulpits in the evening, and
are inviting the people to attend
these services,
Il therefore urge all people to at
tend divine worship on the coming
Sabbath as fitting recognition of the
guidance and goodness of God as
| shown in the century that has closed
and as a prayer that his blessing MAJ
be with US abundantly in the time tina
| is to come.

Before the war a large part of those consumed in Paris were imported from Bavaria; some of them are now coming from Switzerland, and patriotic snail eaters demand thaE they be seized at the frontier on sus- picion of Teuton origin.

ACCIDENT COMMISSION
AUDITOR Is HERE

"The Workmen's Compensa-
ton Law is gaining in Oregon
every day." said Harold A. Will
kins, Auditor for the State In
dustrial Accident Commission,
who spent yesterday checking
up firms under the law in and
around Toledo. "The law has
been in effect two years in July
and the first year there were s.
0SS employers operating under
the law, and the second year g.
632, an increase Of 28 per cent.
And these figures have been ma
terially increased this summer
by the application of a large
number of farmers to protect
their men under the law. Farm
ing, threshing, etc., can get pro-
lection under the law by appli-
cation, and the large number of
damage suits growing out of
farm accidents, has caused some
200 farmers in the state to seek
the state insurance, which not
only protects them from such
suits, but at the same time takes
care of their men when accidents
occur"
