of a character that will not make
pleasant reading for that statesman.
Father H. p. Gallagher, of the
Catholic Church, wrote: 1T is the
wish most devoutly entertained by
all lovers of humanity that the Jew

the land of their ancestors.
Rev. Shirley R. Shaw of the
Christian Church, wrote: Il wish

Rev. Chester Ferris, OF the First
Congregational Church, tells Mrs.
Clark that he has been intensely in
terested in the plans for the future
of Palestine since the liberation by
Allenby. He does not look for
large migration from America, yet
they who continue citizens here
will find growing satisfaction in
their own dear land again free

heart-break, there will be the Point

Rev. Benjamin Goodridge wrote:

guarded from without. Somehow,
the heart of men turned to Great
Britain and summoned the. British
government and people to take upon
themselves the burden of trustee
ship under a League of Nations for
a Jewish Palestine. Britain does
not seek such trusteeship, but the
will of the nations is fixed upon
such consummation of the worlds
faith touching the ancient home of
the Jew that it may again become
a homeland of the Jewish people
under those inviolable guarantees
of the League of Nations which Bri
tain may be counted upon to secure.
A Jewish Palestine means that
Jews are to be enabled at the earli
est possible moment to lay the foun-
dations of Jewish commonwealth
under. the fostering and sheltering,
and may | not say, reparative,
guardianship of the League of Ma
tons. The future of that Jewish
commonwealth the world cannot
shape. The event must rest in the
hands of the Jewish people. It re-
mains to be seen whether, as we
have long believed, the Jews will be
equal to the opportunity not merely
of physical re-establishment in their
ancient land, but of spiritually re-
creating the best and nob1est in
Jewish life and tradition. The Jew
is on the march 1t will be not the
least of the glories of the Peace
Conference to have framed the char
ter of hope for the Jewish people,
to have at one and the same time
proclaimed to the Jew freedom in all
lands and above all freedom to re-
build the waste places and to make
the Holy Land of an earlier day
rich with the fulhlment of prophetic
promise of justice and righteousness
between man and man.

(Superintendent of Bridges)

There is no other place in the
country except in Washington, d.
c., where the people enjoy the
same privilege that We do here in
regard to the government bridge.
Uncle Sam in his generosity has
favored our community with the
privilege of using the Rock Island
bridge for all sorts of traffic
This community has grown in
population until we have. all told,
about one hundred and thirty thou
sand people. OF course a great
many of them, walk to Davenport
and back to Rock Island. For the
last IL months dating from De-
cember. 1918 to 1919. the number
Of pedestrians crossing the bridge
has been S73.211, as counted by the
traffic guard.
Then there are the vehicles OF
different kinds, not including bicy.
cles or street cars. They reached
total of 2,073,523 during the last
IL months. The street cars cross
i ing the bridge numbered 1856.
Though the steamboats, and
barges do not begin to number
what they did when river travel
was the chief means of travel along
| the Mississippi, before the rail-
roads usurped the place Of river
vessels, there are still a number
| passing up and down through the
bridge. This year there were 1885
boats and 1894 bargeB.

Big Dredge Now Preparing
Launch At Mansfield
To Cut The bitches.
OVER THREE MILLION
YARDS DIRT TO MOVE
Drainage District Involves
Reclaiming $4,000 Acres
Of Fertile Lands.

With Contractor w. R. Ewing of
Chicago on hand supervising the
launching of the big two-yard cleo
tric lighted dipper dredge on Bear
Creek at Mansfield, the actual work
of clearing and Strengthening the
canal of the Big Sandy river and its
tributaries begins.
In addition to the dredge boat
which is being put in at Mansfield,
two more big dipper dredges will be
employed on the work, one of which
will be launched at Hollow Rock
Junction and the other at Aliens
Creek. There are 10000 yards of
dirt to be moved in the seven-mile
Bear Creek sxputary at Mansfield
affa this work will be done first. In
the aihtirer district 100000 yards
of dirt are to be moved, according
to the estimate. 1t will require some
three years to complete the work,
says Mr.. Ewing, who will give the
work considerable of his personal
attention, although his contracts are
extensive and much of his time is
spent in the Chicago Office where he
directs all operations
$4,000 Acres Reclaimed.
There will be $4,000 acres Of fer
tile Henry county lands that will be
sreclaiEald in this district-land that
is now practically worthless, and the
estimate provides for an expense of
$12.35 on the land that is effected
100 percent.
According to the survey and blue
prints the new channel as will be cut
out by the three big dredges will re-
duce the present main channel two
thirds; in other words, the present
channel totals Sc miles and the new
channel will be only % miles from
one end to the other. There are
however, 81 miles in all to be dred-
ged including the laterals. At the
L. & N. railroad crossing on the north
end of the canal the channel will be
1000 feeet from the old channel, and
at this point of intersection steel
girder bridge will be put in.
The cost of the work involves the
expenditure of $3S0,000.00 and the
money has already been secured from
the bond issue and is available on
deposit.
While in the city Mr.. Ewing is
making headquarters at the office of
the Naylor Construction Company

Naylor is the contracting engineer
in charge of the work for the drain
age district, and made the prelimi-
