COAL WILL BE CHEAP If Prospective Competition Be tween Rival Interests Comes to Pass. ACCES3 TO THE NEW TESEITORT, If Traffic Arrangement a s;0t K dec ted With Mercer Connty Division. It Is Said Another Road Will he Constructed, and Then Will Knsue the tlattle Fields At tractlnc Capital. "The Davenport Democrat sees de veloping on thi side of the river a clash between the railroads governing coal fields with the result that fn will drop in price. S.ivs the Demo crat : 'It is said that there is an interest ing passage at arms in prospect. Two or three different interests are option ing coal lands in Rock Island count v now with intent to secure large hold ings. It i- understood that one of these interests is getting into position to crowd the Cable coal interests, am that it is very liktly there will be a warm time. The new comers will want access to their land. Thev do n.it want to build a railroad if thev an get the right of running over one r r : ' that is built at prices that are reason able. The offer has been or will !s uiade, it is rumored, to take the line to Coal Yallev or Cable or ai least to make a t ratlin arrangement with the owners for its use. Iftheright terms can t !e made with them the new Inn will be built. There is a hint that if the new comers are given no chauce except through the construction of their own line ihev wul feel that thev are absolved from anv considerations of delicacy for the feelings of the peo ple who arc now operating coal mines in that vicinity, and tuat the opening or a hot light on the fuel proposition is to be expected. Future Will leclde. "Th's is so far onlv talk. The fu t ure will show what there is in it, if there is anything at all. However, there is litt!" don lit that the coal fields of Rock Island county are going to attract far greater capital within the next few vears than thev have hither to enlisted, and it begins to appear certain that, between water power in increasing importance, and oal in in creasing quantity, this may be one of the cheapest points in the country for power for manufacturing purposes or fuel for any other use. If Mr. Smith, of Moline, gets his hard coal molds in working order so that he can t ike the common black sooty soft coal of every da v ue and transform it into the patrician anthracite we will need only one thing more. and that will be a natural gas belt around the three cities, and the strik ing of a few 1,000-b.irrel oil wells."
