Arbor Day Proclamation and Illinois Legislature Notes
The proclamation designates Friday April 21 as Arbor Day. Reports cover a veto on a short session, legislators Kerrick McCleary Hopkins and Bignus votes, land disputes near Canton, Clark J McManus named Princeton postmaster, Dr Vines named census assistant director, and a mix of local affairs from river flooding near LaSalle to tax debates for school boards. The piece also notes Queen Ella and other local anecdotes, a Masonic meeting in Hi Paso, and commentary on newspapers as a trust and rail passes for reporters.
