COMPLETE LA SALLE
SECTION OF IVY WAY

With the "shouldering" on the new
Deer Park highway completed. the
road has been thrown open to traffic
and it is now ready for permanent
use.
The highway, which had its pre-.
miere last Sunday, has been closed
since while the contractors finished
banking up the sides This work has
now been completed and the barriers
have been removed.
a heavy rain will be needed before
the highway is in good shape. The
grading and "shouldering" left a heavy
coating of dirt over the cement in
some places and the least little breeze
or even the passing of an auto sends
up great clouds of dust.
The new road commands beautiful
view of the Illinois Valley particular
" west of Ottawa. and it will give
tourists another "eyetul" Of scenery
well worth gazing upon.

REPORT DRY OFFICERS
VISIT MOTOR INN

According to reports reaching here,
92ys the La Sale Post, Motor Inn, sit,
uated Just short distance above
Starved Rock on an island in the Hi
nois river, and only accessible by
boat, was raided last night by federal
officers.
1t is said that the inn was recently
opened by some Peru men, well
known in the community. There was
also a report that an unnameable
crime was committed there last night
and that county officials had taken
hand in the raid.
Whether or not this report was
man, said to be from near the twin
cities, was the victim, according to Il
report current on the streets
Before Motor inn was closed by the
sheriff a little over a year ago it had
an unsavory reputation and was
known far and wide in the Illinois
valley. Sheriff Ayers and his depu-
ties arrested several lewd women in
the raid on the place, and the pro-
prietor is said to have lost several
thousand dollars in confscated booze
furnishings, etc.

MOVE ON" ORDER TO
CAMP SITE SPONGERS

1t is one thing to reasonably enjoy
the hospitality of the city by having
Il free camping place for travelling
auto tourists. It is quite another
thing to abuse that hospitality by
making a permanent camp in the
park and then proceed to peddle com
mercial wares around the city. The
city authorities found such a case re-
Gently. A party of strangers had
pitched tents in Allen park and then
proceeded to canvass the city for he
sale of linoleum, etc Having no Ii
cense to peddle, nor any permanent
place of business they were invited
to move on, and they tarried not on
the order Of going. They went. No
unreasonable restrictions are placed
upon those camping in the park, and
we'll disposed people find nothing but
courteous treatment here, hut any
thing tending to lawlessness or mis-
conduct, should any such appear, viii
find cold comfort from the authori-
ties

passed after attending the Chicago
pageant of progress, at the Municipal

almost wholly advertising displays.
The crowds were enormous that
visited the pageant yesterday after
noon, but there was total absence
of music, except as II came from one
of the few booths in the pier.
Chicago stores and streets have all
been decorated very beautifully for
the pageant. Last night very won
derful display of fireworks were sent

AIM COURT ATTACK
At CHICAGO FILTH
IN ILLINOIS RIVER
VALLEY PROTECTIVE ASSOCIA.
TlON INAUGARATES LEGAL
ASSAULT ON SANITARY DIS
TRlCT TO END FURTHER POLLU.
TON OF NATURAL WAITE r
COURSE.

Court suits attacking the Chicago
| Sanitary District have been resorted
to by the Illinois Valley Protective
association. as the last and only means
of bringing to an end Chicago's revolt
ing practice Of dumping onto the val.
ley its scourge carrying refuse.
Legislation has brought no relief to
a situation eyerybody-eVe Chicago
admits to be abominable and of
sufficient yiciousness to cause a reyo-
luton in any country but this grand.
free land Of ours. The courts are now
being sought out as the last resort in
hope of forcing the sanitary district
to find some other means of dispOsing
of Chicago rotteness except throwing
it into the Illinois river to spread sick
ness and death to all cities it con-
teammates.
Announcement was made in Chica-
90 Saturday that the suit will be filed
at once Presumably the proceedings
are intended to halt overflow" As
there is no overhow-the sluggish
foul-flled waters being incapable any
longer of swelling beyond its banks
the court attack will be aimed exclu-
siyely at the continuation of the
present open sewer idea with all its
nau5eating, health destroying proper
ties.
Plaintiffs in the suit are cities along
the Illinois river, banded together 10
wage a never-ending fight against Chi
cagO sewerage, until the river is once
more returned to its original condi
tion, when it again becomes the habi-
tatiOn Of countless fish, there is no
longer need of human family avoiding
its precincts now the habitat of pesti-
lenCe and disease
The Chicago Tribune, following its
ancient policy of dstorting fact. If
not wholly fabricatng, says of the
court attack
"In order to dilute and carry away
ChicagO's sewage the sanitary district
tits charged by the Illinois Valley Pro
tectiye association, has been using
several more thousand cubic feet of
water per second than the permit from
the government allows This has
led to the overlooking of large areas
of land in the Illinois valley, causing
the death of fish and the loss of farm
crops"
In so far as ottawa and nearby
cities are concerned there in no in
tent to prevent Chicago from taking
any more water from Lake Michigan
nor is the plan to prevent "overfiOws"
Fish are considered ony secondarily
The valley wants and demands the
right to breathe clean, fresh air, some
thing it has not done since the river
was made the receiving and distribut-
ing center for all Chicago's filth and
corruption.

and had to be towed to the Smith
garage, Mill street, for repairs The
entire front end of his automobile was

badly bent and dented. while the front
axle Of the car was also sprung. The
car driven by KouCoulas escaped with
several minor injuries. The radiator
was slightly bent while one of the
headlights was smashed.
Eyewitnesses of the accident place
blame on the novice driver. Accord
ing to them Koucoulas was driving
east on the same thOroughfare. AS
both cars reached the intersection Of
Court and Main streets, Koucoulas
swerved his car to the left crashing
into the one driven by Duttlinger.
Both cars were travelling at slow
rates of speed. otherwise the OCcu-
pants might have been seriously in
jured Mr.. Duttlinger did not have
time to turn out OF the way of the
coupe.
Koucoulas just purchased the car
yesterday morning.
