TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
---FroEa The Argus Files of Ise7--

March 20-Operations are to be-
gin the coming week in two
branches of Rock Islands leading
industry. The two mills of the
Rock Island Lumber & Manufac-
turing company will resume work.
The mills shut down Aug. 81, since
which time the small army of men
dependent upon them has been idle.
The Weyerhaeuser & Denkmann
mill will start about the middle OF
April, the exact time being still
undetermined.
All indications point to high wa
ter at this point this season. In
fact, the old Mississippi has been
rapidly rising since yesterday. The
gauge at the Rock Island bridge at
6 o'clock last night registered 5.65:
at this morning it indicated $50;
while at noon today the gauge
showed 81. The highest the water
has gone at this point heretofore,
according to official record, was 10
feet and 65 hundredths, June 27,
1893.
1t is announced. that the electric
sprinkler will make its appearance
the first Of next month.
March 21-The ferry Gage went
into commission late this after
noon.
While it is not unusual that at
this season of the year the water
pumped into the city mains does
not sparkle as it should, owing to
the disturbed condition of the river
in consequence of the breaking up
OF the ice, it has not been before
the filters were presented to the
city by Hon. Ben T. Cable, that the
water afforded to the people of
Rock Island for consumption has
been of the shade that it is today.
The Rock Island postmaster has
been officially advised by First As
sistant Postmaster General F. H.
Jones that it has been determined
to provide ascancelling machine for
use in the Rock Island postoffice.

small garden such vegetables as
corn, squash, pumpkins. melons
and similar plants, all of which
take up too much space.
Beets, onions, and radishes are
Particularly easy to grow.
In arranging the beds remember
to keep your paths as straight as
possible and plant in rows from II
/ to Is inches apart. 1t is well to
plan the garden paths in advance,
always remembering that you must
reach all parts of it without tramp
ing upon the plants.

Englishman DeViseS Plan to

London. March 25.-To stop
thefts register every automobile in
the country with the insurance
companies. Then let these com
panies check up on each car en-
tered for insurance, to be certain
of its rightful ownership.
This is the idea of F. S. Broad
manager of the Bell Assurance as
ISOLATION. which has been investi-
eating Englard's method of theft
prevention.
The present system consists OF
issuing registration books and
license discs to each automobile
owner. But counterfeit books and
discs have appeared and have
made it easy for anyone to prove
his ownership of a stolen car, says
Broad
Complete Records.
According to Broad's plan, every
car made in England, besides those
exported and imported, would be
recorded in a national card index
system. The most important IN
formation on each card would DC
the chassis number.
If car is stolen it would be
found as soon as application was
made for its reinsurance, says
Broad. By referring to the cen
trail register the insurance agent
would find the car had been stolen
At present there is no such check
up in any country
Chassis Check.
Altering the chassis number
could not help he thief to circum-
vent this system, for the new num-
Der would be found to belong to
another car, or to be fictitious.
Broad's system would make auto
mobiles thiefproof, especially in the
United States, he says, where there
are laws governing the transfer OF
automobiles. 1t would not cost the
motorist anything additional be-
cause the insurance companies
would assume all costs as part OF
their business.

BOARD DECIDES NOT TO
HOLD A COUNTY FAIR

No county fair in Umatilla county
will be held this year. Action to this
effect was taken this morn ng by the
county fair board in a meeting held
at the office of County Superintend-
ent w, w. Green.
The members of the fair board in
clude l.. l.. Rogers, Pendleton, presi-
dent; Mr. Green, secretary; George
Root, Hernlistop; and L. A. Reineman,
of Alitten-F Free s,&teE.
The action Of the county fair board
causes the county fair fund automRt-
ically to revert back into the custody
of the county court by whom it may
be apportioned for other fairs.
1t was stated today by members of
the court that no action will be taken
to apportion the funds until the fairs
have had opportunity to
make application for a sbare of the
funds. The Northwest Grain and Hay
show has formally applied for its
usual one-fourth of the fund, and the
Hog and Dairy show Off
cials have entered verbal request.
It is also expected that the east end
of the county will want to share in the
fund which amounts to about $500.
