erty is 50 by 1876 feet. officials say
that the figure is exceptionally low
and are satisfied that they have Sc
cured a tract with a central location
In the territory to be protected, as
well as getting property which in time
will be greatly enhanced In value.
One of the provisions Of the union
ordinance under which the former viii
lage of Sears was annexed to Rock
Island year ago is that in two years
the city would provide a fire station
in the territory
To Ask for Plans.
City authorities practically have a
year before them in which to comply
with this clause in the ordinance.
They will soon ask for architects
plans and it is probable that they will
get the building under construction
by next fall.
The city will erect a fireproof sta
ton TO be known as No. 6. 1t is also
probable that during the present year
a new station will be built for the No.
company, which is located on Sew
enth avenue and Thirty-first street.

. Russell Stock Goes Up.

Up to the present, Mr.. Smith has
been considered as the man most like
ly to get the Deneen support, but dur
ing the last few days the Russell stock
has been going up.
AS to the position of the Anti-Saloon
league in case two or three candidates
running on a dry platform solicit an
Endorsement, the intimation is that the
league leaders will follow their old
policy of swinging their strength to
the man who is pledged to give them a
square DEAL and who has the best
chances of election, regardless of
whether he is an out-an-out dry. What
they look for in recommending a gov
ernorship candidate is an executive
who will not use the veto to block the
legislature and who will sign anti
liquor legislation that is passed.

Peoria Man Mentioned.

The presence of flock of dry can
didates may lead a downstate wet to
make real campaign. Mayor f. n.
Woodruff of Peoria has been counted
among the candidates, and if the field
is thrown wide open it is expected that
all doubt will vanish as to whether he
will stick until primary day.
Meanwhile the Deneen camp de-
clared yesterday that it wouldn't pick
its favorite for the governorship nom
nation until after the national con-
vention in June. At present the inclin-
alton of the Deneen forces appears to
be in the direction of Colonel Frank
L. Smith of Dwight or Andrew Russell
of Jacksonville. state treasurer Col
onel Smith. who was Taft manager
in Illinois in 1912, has been actively
canvassing the state for months, while
Mr.. Russell, after a gumshoe expedi-
ton to sound sentiment. has limbered
up his stride and came out as an
avowed candidate within the last week

to express their preference be-
tween the two men,, Knott
would have had majority. Cats
first choice votes amounted to only
sc per cent of all the votes cast
in the primary. His first and sec
ond choice votes combined con-
sisted slightly of less than 40 per
cent of the total. There were very
few exceptions to the rule that
men who endorsed Cats voted
for him first choice and that those
who failed to vote for him for
first choice would not have voted
for him at all.
SO we conclude that Knott is
is not only the legal nominee, but
the just nominee as well, and we
are confident that he will be G.
lected.

Town Troubles

The Herald promised and had
hoped to discuss in this issue the
towns problem in the matter of
electric lights and power; but,
owing to the fact that the system
of bookkeeping for the town
cannot be understood by the writ
er, the discussion must be fore
gone. Facts and figures upon
which an Ineligible discussion
might be made, cannot be obtain
ed without a research involving
more time and work than this
writer can give to it.
1t may be said, however, that
various citizens present two views
on the assumption that the cleo
