toward the street unbuttoned his coat
and vest, thus displaying the absence
of shirt. He glanced over his shoul-

folding back the flap of his soiled I'M

DEMAND h|l| I'm
On WAREHOUSE


Although the city officials have
votsd to pay $5ee for The old oteAm-
boat freight warehoase ct t. foot
Of. Nineteenth street the deal has
not been put through on account
| Of differences among the owners,
i and information has been re-
eeivsd By city olmeials that : negro
man and his wife had moved into
the building a. caretakefs.
The warehouse proposition first
came up about two months ago
when city officials discovered that
It has been standing on city Prop
erty for the last i've years without
the owners having . franchise The
building was erected about 70 years
ago and has been used more or less
, for river freight until two years
ago when all packet went or the
river at this point.
On sending notice for the build
ing to be either removed or . lease
taken on the ground the city off,
Gals were soon met by H. C. Mead,
representing the Streckfus Steam
boat line. Mr.. Mead said that il
was desired to have the city take
over the building and lease it for
river freight use. and offered to sell
the warehouse for $1,000. The city
came back with an offer OF $500,
with the intention of renting the
building until such time Is packet
boats again ply the Mississippi and
the building of q sea wall and .
larger freight receiving structure.
Blair Claims Part Ownership.
Within few weeks word came
that the Streckfus line would ac-
cept the $500 offer. However, a
communication was received q
short time later from Captain ". A.
Blair, formerly OF the White Col
lar line, now pilot on the Streckfus
excursion boat Capitol, who claimed
to be part owner Of the warehouse
and requesting the city either lease
the ground to the steamboat COM
pany for several years more or II
purchasing the building the city
should give ample guarantees that
it would be kept for river freight
service. Hints were also received
by the city officials that . packet
boat will probably be put to work
between Rock Island and Burling-
ton next year, and that Captain
Blair is interested In this under
taking.
Only Want Settlement.
City officials have said that
all desired on the part Of the
city was to have the case settled,
either by the steamboat line leasing
the ground on which the building
stands or selling the building.
They contended that the matter
will not be allowed to go along
much longer as it has been. Some
settlement quick or removal Of the
building is the only alternatives
the city will accept. 1t was claimed.

The physical bang Of the city.
We are agreed that growing In
dustries and mercantile establish
ments are fundamental IN estab
lishing . city upon I substantial
basis.
II Is one Of the best means OF IN
creasing the population Of . city.
More factories and greater mer-
camille establishments are things
that give it an air Of prosperity and
permanency.
These things then all together
are the real pay rolls Of the city.
Why have we not been getting
more pay rolls of this kind in Rock
Island?
The reason is we have not been
thinking enough about the future
of Rock Island.
Many of us have been content to
let we'll enough alone.
sLet Wei Enough Aloner
Letting well enough alone Is a
comfortable doctrine, but a dan
gerous one, and the world would
make little progress il everybody
proceeded on that principle.
No community can hope to ad-
vance that is satisfied with itself.
A contented and satisfied commun-
ity is one usually smothered in
apathy.
We must not overlook the fact
that all future is inseparably link
ed to that of the community in
which we live; whether we are in
business or a member of a profess
sion our prosperity and general
well being depends on the prosper
ity and general conditions Of the
community.
We can't advance as a commun-
ity unless we, as individuals, pro-
mote that advancement. We can
not prosper as individuals unless
that city prospers and grows.

for any purpose they saw fit could

tenti9n upon the obiter dicta Of the

1T will be recalled that the league

demned Attorney General LANCER for
raising the question of jurisdiction of

from press dispatches that the case
went off on iurisdiction. If this is the
case and had Mr.. Pixies argument
been the sole argument, and the SUI
preme court had been limited to his
presentation Of the case. the state
would have lost.
1T goes without saying that the
court did not adopt Mr.. Pixies unique
contention and reverse its unbroken
line Of decisions for fifty years, and
since it did not do that it must have
accepted the contention Of the attor-
ney general and his assistants

Summing up the affair Mr.. Pack

argument of the appelles and Mr.
Lemke did mo- take part in the ar
gument. He did whisper a time or
two to Mr.. Pixie, but the argumen,
was made by Mr.. Pike and the re.
port that Mr.. Lemke heroically. stood

Speaking of Mr.. Woodchuck and his
family, first let me say that he only
whistles when he is in trouble or call
ing Mrs. Woodchuck. or one of the
family. That is the reason Tinker
Bob was not familiar with the whistle
he had not heard it often enough.
So Tinker Bob spoke to Mr.. Wood
chuck about this very thing:
How does it come that / did not
know your whistle? ! have only heard
that kind of a whistle Il few times.
Don't O whistle every day just like
that?"
/. ~ am sure you haven't heard me
ever whistle like that before"
/, What makes you say that, surely
you are not in serious trouble?" The
King was at once Interested because
he thought there must be something
wrong.
Al once the little Woodchuck began
TO whimper. They were such dear
little things that Tinker began to feel
sorry for them. He took one of them
from the ground and held it close to
his face. '"TcIJ me-" said he, what
makes you feel this way"
The little Woodchuck whispered in
the Kings ear: MY mother is gone
and l don't know where to find her,
and my brother is gone and l am

said.

whistle as though he did not want to
give up his search. and then he said:
ut has only beer since the last rain
three days ago. But we had to move
in the might and she could not be
found anywhere after the rain was
over"

could not take the place Of what
