Industry Is classed into four divis-
ions in this way:
1.-Those "ind!vidual!stic in owner
farmer and the small artisan. con-
tractor and manufacturer. who is both
capitalists laborer and consumer"
. All industries formerly lnd,vid-

The Island In the Swamp

ceiye each other and gain some view
of our immediate surroundings after
that struggle through darkness cannot
be expressed in words. Viewer upon

two diverging forks Of the stream
closing US In. So, after short CONVEX

forward, keeping rather close to the
edge of the wood, so as to better con.
ceal our passage, Our advance, while
not rapid, was steady, and we must
have covered several miles before the
east began to show gray, the chastity
light Of the new dawn revealing our
tired faces. Ahead Of us stretched an
extensive swamp, with pools Of. stag.

grass and brown fringes Of cat-tails
bordering their edges. Some distance
out in this desolation, and only half

already has made large number OF
persons comfortably rich, while some
thousands Of others are anNiousiy

ranean gamble In more than 200 wells
where tne drills are kept going day
and night.
The development, which became ap-
parent when strong flow OF gas blew
the top off a derrick on September y
last, covers no more than loo acres oil

thriving little city OF Mckeesport, six
teen miles from Pittsburgh. Efforts are
being made by important oil and gas
interests to extend the field. II these

be thing Of the past. and dreams OF
wealth be nothing more than memory,
Rock pressure, the measure OF
natural gas at the well, was l,6oo
pounds TO the square inch when the
first well came In. This pressure, eS-
perts say, has now been reduced to
500 pounds, indicating that already the
field Is beginning to decline. However.

field, and every we'll which reaches the
Speecnley sand where the gas is found,
comes in a gusher good for 5000, 900 TO

for the wells are drilled SO close to-
gether that the pool viii be exhausted

over a much wider area than that

But while it lasts Snake Hollow
is taking on all the features Of &
boom district where fortunes are made
over night. Steep hillside lots which
six months ago could have been
bought for song have sold for 81, 900
and leases, covering spaces not big

The amount Of money already IN
vested in the field ia placed by bankers
at $40, ZOO, 900. This Is due to the
high cost of everything. from drilling
which reaches about $4,000 a well,
to commissions of stock statesmen who
are handling the securities Of the 10
companies now In the market. The
most profitable concerns, however. are
close corporations,and some Of their
shareholders have, been paid many
times over the amount of the original

OF the meeting in the absence OF
Walter A. Roeenfield.
1t was his first attendancesat the
meetings - Mr.. Stafford has been
out Of the city on previous meeting
dates.
Outlines Big Move.
He announced that the city PLAN
ming movement was the biggest
thing that has ever been attempted
in Rock Island. He said that the
commission would be unable to do
much in the work as they would
have to rest contented with getting
the move started right in their life
time. He pointed out that the city
planning scheme calls for a well
defined plan made up by experts to
govern all future improvements and
growth of city and all city beauti-
fying schemes. To carry out these
schemes takes time and money, he
said. He declared that as the years
go by one improvement must be
taken up after another as the
growth of the city demands. He
urged that in aiding other moves
such as the municipal bathing
beach the commission should not
lose sight of its original work. All
members conceded the importance
of the statement and announced that
everything possible will be done to
get a city planning engineer to
come here soon.
A communication WIS read from
F. W. Bender, former secretary o.
the Chamber of Commerce, answer
ing the commissions request for
information on the limitations of
the Chamber of Commerce fund of
something over $4,000 for city plan
ming work. Mr.. Bender stated in
his letter than this money cannot
be expended for any other purpose
than the expenses incurred in ar
ranging a city plan. The commits
sion decided that the money will
be expended in bringing an expert
city planning engineer Here.
The commission examined city
planning reports from the following
six cities, which have incorporated
the system: Denver. Colo. Mime
apolis, Mimi, Kansas City. Mo-, Of
tawa and Hull. Canada, Cincinnati.
Ohio and Rockford, Ill. All reports

BATHING BEACH
CONFERENCE IS
SET ON FRIDAY
Municipal Beach This Summer In
Prospect-City Planning Com
mission Holds Session.

A joint committee composed OF
five members Of the city planning
commission. two from the Rock Is
land Woman's club and two from
the Y. W. c. A., are scheduled to
confer with owners Of a strip OF
land located at the foot of Fourth
avenue at 10 O'Clock Friday morn
ing with the object of obtaining
site for q municipal bathing beach.
The action was decided upon at
the regular monthly meeting Of the
planning commission at the city
hall yesterday afternoon.
The bathing beach proposition has
been agitated by Mayor Harry M.
Schriver for some time and has been
given the support of the planning
commission, which arranged for the
meeting with owners of the land
Friday morning when committees
from both the Woman's club and
the Y. W. c. A. will also take part
as both these organizations are
backing the movement for a munic-
ipal beach.
It has been found that the only
place along the Rock Island river
front that can be utilized fos bath
ing beach purposes is at the foot
of Fourth avenue. The width of
the avenue will give the city so feet
river frontage and it is desired to
add 100 or 200 feet of the land north
Of the avenue. 1t is claimed that
this will give ample room to build
bath houses and prepare other
beach facilities. 1t was pointed out
that long stretch of beach is not
necessary for the reason that the
only need is for bath houses and
floats and the bathers can spread
out up and down the river as de-
sired once they get into the water.
Owners Of the land not long ago
offered the site free for period Of
three years. A longer period is
said would have been granted, but
it is set forth that the owners do
not know when the land will be
sold. Mayor Schriver said that the
committee that will interview the
owners Friday will ask for a dona-
ton to the city Of the desired strip.
or granting of a lease for 10 years.
1t was pointed out that the city
has no money with which to prepare
beach but the proposition could
be carried out as was done in Mo-
line by erecting bath houses and
making nominal charge to cover
the expense of construction and for
beach caretakers.
Attendance Small.
The attendance Of the planning
commission meeting yesterday was
small for the reason that several of
the Is members were out of the
city.
Those present were: Mrs. r. B.
kreis, secretary: Mrs. c. H. Castet-
ter. Jacob. Ramser, John T. Stat
ford. Mayor Schriver and Commits
