1917 Than 1916.

The pedestrian traffice across the
Rock Island government bridge has
been increased during the year.
During the preceding II months
679,494 people crossed the bridge on
foot. OF this number $4,000 came to
Rock Island and 1882 went to Dav-
export. These figures show an in
crease of almost one hundred thou
sand over 1916. The figures are fur
nighed by F. E. Robbins, superintend-
ent of the bridge His report shows a
decided increase not only in the pedes-
trian traffic but in the vehicle traffic
which included automobiles, wagons,
huggies. trucks and motorcycles, but
not BICYCLES. The total number OF
vehicles that crossed the bridge is

FIRE LOSS DURING

Chief NeHberry Reyises Estimates
Showing Damage Not as Heavy
az Formerly Believed.

Fire loss in Rock Island during the
year 1917 was $95.942.S4, according to
estimates made by Fire Chief George
While this figure seems low cousid-
ering the Clemann & Saizmann furni-
ture store blaze early in January and
the Illinois Oil company warehouse
fire in June, the chief has revised the
estimates on these losses, He figures
the damage TO the Clemann & Salz-
mann building and stock as $4,000
and all others $4,000, showing that
the furniture store loss exceeded that
due from the remainder of the fires
on the years list
The loss for the last year is about
three and one-half times that of 1916.
when the damage from flames
amounted to $2S,3794S.

ton Of the city were provided this

farm lighting business the Marion
Manufacturing company will continue
to sell to the retail trade full and
complete line of wiring, fixtures. wiz

electrical devices Of all descriptions.
The bringing of this industry TO
Rock Island has been largely due to
to the efforts of the Industrial commit

will add greatly to the prestige of
Rock Island as an industrial center. It
IS the plan of the officers of the Mar

The company has derived in
formation from reliable statis-
ties that there are $500 900
farm homes in the United States and
that approximately 250,000 Of this
number have been supplied with farm
lighting plants to date, which is an
indication that there is demand
which viii not be supplied for some
years 10 come One of the distinctive
features Of their plant is its ample
power, which in its application to the
duties and work on the farm home
makes it labor saving device, which
feature in these lines Of the scarcity
of labor makes il a highly desirable
acquisition to the farm The invest
ment in machinery and building
amounts to about two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars.

MAMMOTH CROPS
ABOUT RELIANCE
BARLEY RUNS UP TO se BUSHELS
THREE PEcKS OF WHEAT
WEIGH BUSHEl

Crops in the territory west of the
river near Reliance, South Dakota, are
reported to rival the autputs of the
more populous portions of the state.
Small grains and hay west of the Mis-
souri, river are abundant.
n. w. Smell, who has recently finish
ed threshing run near Reliance says
that. Barley on the Wooster farm near
Reliance registered a machine measure
Of Sc bushels 10 the acre. The Woost-
er farm is northeast Of Reliance in the
vicinity of Big Bend, on the Missouri
river.
Mr. Smell also says that speltz in the
farm owned by Harvey Hldebrand eight
miles nirth Of Reliance threshed by ac
curate measure AZ bushels to the acre.
Wheat also is good yield. Rose
stem wheat on the farm of Alex Boiler
produced 20 bushels. Fall wheat was
heavy and one cutting OF Marquis
wheat, Mr.. Smell stated, weighed out
the required GO pounds for one bushel
with only three pecks in the measure
Oats also over-weighed.
Car shortage has not yet become
alarming although local train officials
say that the traffic during the past
week, and especially the movement OF
grin is becoming heavy. Today the
number of cars loaded with grain for
eastern elevators was greater than the
movement yesterday. Western farmers
fear that their cropsp may be hindered
in reaching the market because of the
large yield and the habitual transpor-
tation inadequacy that has afflicted
their section.

ager of the Community chautauqua sys-

Mr.. Tibbetts since leaving. the state.

for the Community system in many
parts of the United States. ~.
Asked about the war situation as it
regards the chautauquas Of the cOun-
Try, Mr.. Tibbetts said the past season
has been one Of the most successful
for many year. He said:
"Early in the spring, after the dec
laralion of war with Germany, chau-
tauqua heads conferred with President
Wilson concerning the proposition Of
discontnuiDg clautauqua work, but
hle president protested against tmo
move and urged the chautauquas to
copinnc their work and encourage the
patriotism Of the people of the United
States. Hence the clautauquas during
the past season have emphasized the
announcement of war spirit In their
programs, playing up the patriotic en-
lerlainment in first day engagements.
We have encountered a renewed inter-
est in chautauIua work in all parts Of
our territory"
Mr.. Tibbetts during the past yea
has had charge of the Community cir
cult covering the state OF New York,

may lead us and whatsoever the fu-
ture may have in store for us, we
shall bear away from this community,
memories of these days Of waiting,
which will tighten our cares and make
us thankful that we were in position
to respond to the call of duty In be-
half Of SO generous and aectionate a
public.
MAY God in his Intimate Kindness
care for you and keep you safe until
that day when we shall return, which,
the same God permitting, we hope to
do before many months have passed.
"1f there are long marches and bat
ties before us, we shall be inspired to
endure by the thought and the memory
that you had confidence in us. and
that you expect US to acquit ourselves
as Sons of South Dakota in the fullest
sense Of the word.
For the present time, Farewell.
