According to the Paris daily press, an aerial postal service will soon be organized between Nice and Corsica, and it will be carried out by the use of hydro-airplanes. The landing place in Corsica has not yet been fixed, but it is likely that Ajaccio will be chosen for the purpose, it being the terminal of the railroad line, and, besides. it af- lords very good landing place Tor hydro-airplanes. The distance to be covered in straight line is about 150 miles. A great advantage will be se- cured by the present service, for it will allow of carrying all the ordinary let ters. while the packages classed as mail matter will be transported by boat as usual A postal hydro -airplane Of improved type will carry upwards of

 Although congress empowered him to do so, the president did not include wireless systems, because the navy al ready is in control of them and he also did not include ocean cables, presum- ably because contracts the cable con- panies have with foreign governments on whose shores they land, contain clauses respecting government oper- ation which raised involved questions.

BUILDING. CU1TEO
BY FIERCE BLAZE
Damages to Extent Of $4,000 Caused
When Heat Treating Plant at r.
&V. Co. is Destroyed.

Damages to the extent of $4,000
were caused in the fire which broke
out yesterday afternoon at 1880 in the
forge shop or heat treating plant Of
the Root & VanDervoort company,
East Moline.
The structure, which was erected
but "a few years ago, was completely
gutted. It was an addition to an older
building and was frame, 80 feet wide
and 120 feet long, situated just north
Of the main Office building.
Two Moline. fire companies and
one from Rock Island rendered
effective service, in addition to the
East Moline department. For a time
it was feared that the high wind would
endanger all of the plants of the COM
pany, which is engaged in filling i'm
portant war contracts.
1t has been definitely established
that the conflagration was due to an
explosion Of an acetyiene gas tank.
Welding around plugs sprung, per-
mitttng leaks and in consequences.
flames shoot to the roof. 1t was pure.
" unavoidable. Electrical apparatus
was demolished.
Within short time after the blaze,
company officials instructed the Abra-
hams-Porter Construction company to
begin work on a new building and it
will be rushed to completion as rap
idly as possible.
The fact that the structure was only
being partially used for its intended
purpose caused considerable saving in
material and expensive machinery.

HAVE PLEASANT REUNION.

Twenty-Five years ago and for some
time prior there resided in the town
of Wiltshire, Ohio, two growing. virile
lads. They were not unlike other boys
of Wiltshire, yet the fact that they
were constantly together and Stunned
the gang, gave them, small-town dis
tinctiveness. This brotherly affection
sprung up between them by virtue OF
their parents sharing the same house.
and they had a lot in common. One OF
them was just Louis Brittson and the
other was Hugh H. Thomas, the latter
now a prominent insurance man in Mo-
line. ..
Twenty-Five years ago Brittson left
Wiltshire to satisfy desire long cher
ished to girdle the globe. He left his
home town unostentatiously. carrying
little luggage and not much money. He
took his time in his trip around the
world. for he was student and he
wanted to learn as he went. In 1888
he returned to Wiltshire In time to en-
list as a volunteer in the Spanish
American war. After being mustered
out of service he started on another
trip.

DRASTIC STEP IS :
RESULT OF meet
Sal0onnen If Conference With Mayor
Decide To Sell Liquor for Premise
Use Only.

Following the policy which Rock Is
land saloonmen adopted some time
ago, men engaged in the retail liquor
business in East Moline, held con-
ference yesterday afternoon with
Mayor G. F. johnson at which time 1t
was decided that hereafter wet goods
cannot be carried from the premises,
sales being made for consumption at
the thirst parlors only.
This is in keeping with the wishes
of the government, in order to stop
as much as possible any further trou-
BILE over the selling of booze to Rock
Island arsenal soldiers via the alley
route. Mayor johnson took summary
action, resulting in a number of meet
ings and the session yesterday when
the rule above referred to was agreed
to. 'The saloOnkeepers seem sincere
about this matter and came to my Of
flee yesterday afternon for the pur-
pose of personally notifying me of
their desire to cooperate with the city

MARKED ADVANCE
IN PRICES NOTED
Estimates Furnished by City Engi.
ncer Are Nearly Fifty Per Cent
Over Those of Year Ago.

Estimates for city water and sewer
1obs furnished by the city engineer
10 the Moline commission amount to
$4,000, an increase of about fifty per
cent over figures for the same grade
Of work prevailing a year ago.
One OF these sets of figures is for
work not previously advertised. That
estimate is known as the Fifty-third
street job and is for $50 feet OF
water main on streets near F'ifty-third
and between Sixth and Eleventh ave-
nues, and for 1866 feet of sewer in
the same locality.
Estimates for work on Eleventh
avenue C and in the Marquette addi-
ton were prepared last summer. The
commission advertised several times
for bids on those figures. In every
case the bids were either much high
er than the engineers estimates, or
else there were no bids.
The board Of local improvements
will hold public hearing in the city
council chamber on March Il to give
owners Of property adjoining the pro
posed work an opportunity to voice
their opinions on the estimates and
improvements. No bids will be adver-
tised for until after that hearing.
Lyle Payton, city engineer, who pre-
pared the old and the new estimates,
stated that the increase was inevita-
BILE as present cost Of labor and ma
terial would not allow contractors tO
do the work under the old estimates.
Owners Of property adjbining which
or through which the sewer and wa
ter mains are to be laid will be as
sessed special taxes covering entire
cost of the improvements.

WANTS TO SELL BOND.

Moline does not offer much encour-
agement to individuals who wish to
dispose Of their Liberty bonds, said
Commissioner c. V. johnson yesterday
afternoon to the man who attempted
to pay his water rent with Liberty
bond.
The first time yesterday afternoon
that this man entered the Office of the
commissioner of accounts and finance
he didn't have the Liberty bond He
had hard luck story. Business has
been very bad, and this tax is SO high"
he said Cant you make it a little
less l can't pay all this rent. It's too
much" He left, having been informed
that city water rents are very low in
stead of too high.
An hour later he returned, carrying
the bond in mis- hand as he walked
once more into the clerks Office.
Here's your money" he said. "Give
me ss2 change" and threw the bond
on the counter.
Commissioner Johnson attempted to
tell him why he should not dispose of
his bond, that ii was unpatriotic and
did not display great loyalty TO the
government But the man persisted.
He was told to call on bank I'VE
don't encourage sale of Liberty bonds, -
the banker told Commissioner John
son. IF he insisted on selling, how
ever, tell him we will give him 500 for
his bond"
The commissioner told the man.
"Ninety-six rollars!" he explained. Il
gave 800 for IT. No, sir, l won't sell
for less than >$100"
An hour later he-returned again.
Here's your money" he said and
threw down $3S in regular United
States currency.
