REEL CLUB HAS
LARGE TURNOUT
State Representatives Promise New
Effort TO Put Through Desired
Legislation.

Another effort will be put forth
by Representative William e..
Maucker and Harry NJ McCaskrin
during the next session of the IIli-
nois legislature to put through a
bill giving pole and line fisher
men the right TO FISH at dams and
locks, an assembly that gathered
at the Elks' club rooms last night
on invitation of the Rock Island
/ Rod and Reel club was told.
A similar bill failed last year,
but changes are to be made and an
other effort made to have the state
sanction fishing where the fish
are" As it is now, .seiners. net
fishermen and those using spears
are catching the fish illegally, and
the pole and Iiue fisherman, gener-
ally the one who complies with the
law, is kept 100 feet away from
locks and dams.
The meeting last night was the
annual session of the Rod and Reel
club, and Representatives Maucker
and McCaskrin were the principal
speakers.
Willard Schaeffer of Rock Island,
writer and an ardent fisherman,
also gave an address. His remarks
of encouragement for the work per-
formed by the club were hearten-
ing.
The work of the Sterling Rod.
Reel & Gun club was reported by
Messrs. Solomon and Cranbeck Of
that club, who came to Rock Is
land on special invitation. Another
club was recently started up in
the state and those at the Rock Is
land club session last night talk
ed of the benefits of a state or
ganization. Representa- Ewes Mauck-
er and McCaskrin advised that such
a move would be a good one, and
that with the support of such an
organization or of several commun-
ity organizations many new laws
could be obtained for fish preserva-
ton and also in sponsoring the
betterment of the sport of angling
in many departments.

new HIGHWAYS
THROUGH STATE
ARE NOW OPEN
Complete Road From Chicago to
CIInton-Lafost Traffic Way
in Illinois.

Several complete roads from city
70 city in various sections of the
state have just been opened to traf-
&c. making tho highways connect
ing points in Illinois some of the
best in the country.
Included among the new roads
lust completed are the Lincoln
highway from Chicago to Fulton,
which is taken by Rock Islanders
going to Chicago, the Chicago
Ottawa road, the Peoria Springfield
highway, the Springfield-Eas St
Louis, East st. Louis-Marshall road,
the Chicago Marshall. (the Dixie
Highway, and from Kankakee to
the Dixie highway which will be
opened to traffic early next week.
Reports of the best routes from
city to city have been sent out this
week by the Illinois department of
public works and buildings Traf-
fic from Rock Island TO LaSalle
should follow these directions, the
report sayss
From Rock Island through Mo-
line, Barstow, Cleveland ferry
across Rock river; south to the
town OF Green River to the first
road leading east, south to Green
river, which is the main road to
Geneseo. From Geneseo take the
north or main travelled road to At
kinson; east along main state road
TO Princeton and LaSalle.
Work on tho improvement of the
Clinton-Albany road on the Illinois
side of the Mississippi river is pro-
crossing. Thirty teams and wagons
are being used in hauling gravel for
the resurfacing Of the road. The
gravel is being dumped in the CEN
ter of the road to be rolled down by
traffic and in the spring will be sub
jacted to further rolling and spread
ing. At present it affords passage
way for only one vehicle at time.
Generally speaking the dirt
roads are frozen and exceedingly
rough in Illinois, due to traffic while
the roads were soft following heavy
rains. but all highways are passable.
The road work in the state has
ceased for the season, but prepare
tons are being made for huge
1922 road Improvement, many con-
tracts having already been awarded.
The oiled roads in Henry county are
fair, but the unoiled earth roads are
frozen and rough. In Lee county
the roads are rough in most places.
There is a light snow on the ground,
which has not thawed.
Most of the Iowa roads are ex-
ceedingly rough, due to the heavy
travel while they were soft. The
sudden cold snap has frozen all the
unpaved roads in the vicinity of
Clinton, making them rough for
traffic. However, there is little or
10 snow. Prior to the frost there
were heavy rains for "a hours and
il the roads thaw out, they will be
very muddy for some time.
East and west travel over the
Lincoln highway is not affected as
far as De Witt, account of the pave
ment. At Cedar Rapids the roads
are much improved and are re-
ported good in every direction. The
snow is well packed and there is no
danger OF drifting.
