DR.. GREENFIELD COMING
FOR LABRADOR TALK

DR.. Wilfred r. Grenfell is COM
ing to Davenport. Many people have
already noted the fact with keen an
ticipation of hearing an unusual man
talk out of the full of personal knowl-
edge of scenes and people OF whom we
know comparatively. little. DR.. Gren-
fell will appear Wednesday. Jan. 8, at
the Methodist church, corner Brady
and Fourteenth streets.
DR.. Grenfell is a verysrare man and
he has done very remarkable work.
His life has been life of hardship
and self-denial. but he has accom-
plished so much and been so alive in
body and mind that, aside from the
joy of adventure. Ms life has been
rich in experience, and one may well
believe more satisfying than lives Of
most men.
He was graduated from Oxford in
1880. He was an athlete as well as
student, giving evidence on the foot
ball team of the university of the
physical vitality which was. in after
years. to carry him through great
hardships. He studied medicine and
after serving some time at the Lon
don hospital. fitted out the first hos
pital ship ever sent to sea. His work
at first was among the North Sea fish
cries. cruising the Bay of Biscay to
Ireland
DR.. Grenfell went to Labrador in
1892. The account of his work is
told In vivid way by Norman Dun
can in book called "Dr. Grenfells
Parish" The sad, neglected people of
Labrador, isolated from the rest of the
world by the barrenness Of the land
and its forbidding climate, owe every
thing to DR.. Grenfell.
His courage. ability and versatility
are evidenced by the fact that he built,
with money secured by personal effort
outside of the country, four hospitals:
that he put in successful operation a
series of cooperative stores; that he
built an orphanage, that he estab-
| lished a school to give the people
work; and started various local indus
trial enterprises.
! OF late years DR.. Grenfell has writ
ten several entertaining and instruct
i've books. giving pictures Of sea-
mans life and of the lonely, hard. and
yet in cases, beautiful lives of the
| poor Of Labrador.

NO ORDERS RECEIVED IN CITY
6. w. QuackenbusI, General Manager,
Says He Has Not Received In
structiOns as Yet.

G. w. Quackenbush, manager of the
Rock Island Southern, today declared,
despite rumors of government taking
over the interurban line, he had re-
ceived no orders on this score.
Rumors are going the rounds among
employees of the Rock Island Southern
that as result Of thea government
having taken control of the steam
roads, it was going to lay its hands
on the traction lines and that there
would be change In the schedules.
tending to cut down the number OF
trains run whether the interurbans
went under government control or not.
According to the rumors, the ser
vice on both the east and north lines
is to be cut in half SO far as the pas
senger runs are concerned; that is,
one car will be made to do the work
of two. On the east line this would
mean a car between Monmouth and
Galesburg every two hours, instead of
every hour, as is the rule now. On
the north line there would be but three
cars a day each way, instead of half
a dozen. The freight service probably
would remain the same or possibly be
improved, as there is considerable coal
moved from the mines in Mercer coun-
ty by north line trains
Not a Surprise.
While the cutting down Of the SER
vice might inconvenience many peo-
pie who have become accustomed to
hourly service, it would hardly come
as a surprise, as the tendency seems
to be 70 cut down service on all the
steam roads, and the same thing might
result in conservation of coal if ap-
piled to trolley roads. 1t would re-
quire less Juice" and consequently
less fuel, and the saving of that COM
modify is one of the paramount issues
these days.
The same rule would work on the
north line, although the difference
would not be so great because the big
power plant at Edwards river gen
crates electricity for commercial pur-
poses as well as for propelling cars

Street CARS FOR
USE IN TRI-C|TIES
Local Traction Concern Closes Deal
With Chicago Surface Lines
for Rolling Stock.
WILL RELIEVE CAR SHORTAGE
Expenditure OF More Than Sixty Thou.
sand Dollars Represented in Con.
tract Just Closed,

General Manager John G. Huntoon
of the Tri-City Railway Company to-
day announced that further relief in
ar congestion will be forthcoming
within so days.
Mr.. Huntoon has closed negotiations
with the Chicago Traction company
whereby the local street railway con-
Germ comes into possession of 20 cars.
They will be delivered within month,
completely remodeled and overhauled,
ready TO be placed in the Rock Island
arsenal service or where otherwise
needed
The cars represent an expenditure
said to be more than sixty thousand
dollars. The rolling stock is of the
open summer" car type, but the con-
tract with the Chicago traction con-
Germ provides that they be rebuilt and
made into closed cars.
In connection with the announce
ment from Mr.. Huntoon that the cars
are to be here within month, he
stated it is probable an endeavor will
be made to run them in trains of two
or three cars. This will be done if the
municipal commission will grant the
company the right to establish this
plan as an emergency measure. Mr..
Huntoon said the scarcity Of train
men is so severe that the company
must go to this end to operate the
sars and that while it does not like
Z D understake such a step, it feels that
il will have to in order to man the
rolling stock.
Like Elevated Lines.
Should this plan be adopted, the
rev cars will be operated as trailers,
although they are all equipped with
motors. This would give the local
street railway the semblance of the
Chicago elevated lines, where trains
are run. 1t is likely the company
't0uld place one motorman in charge
Ct the draw car and one conductor in
each of the traiers
With the addition Of the 20 cars the
Tri-City Railway company has &C
"0mplished big step forward in pro-
vjding relief for street car shortage in
The tri-cities. Since activity at the
lock Island arsenal shot ahead with
a burst of speed following the declar-
alton of war with Germany, the trac-
ton concern has been hard pressed
to provide sufficient cars during the
morning and evening rush hours. Add
ed to this, the development of indus
trial enterprises in this city and the
consequent increase in population re-
sulting from the employment of more
en- in factories contributed a large

The Tri-City Railway company has
been continually on the trail of street
cars, purchasing all the new ones it
could and securing used cars and con-
