The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific has electrified 660 miles of its main line-the longest electrification in the world.

The change to electric operation, begun in 1915, has been extended to include six steam-locomotive divisions, crossing the Rocky Mountains, the Belts, the Bitter Roots, and the Cascade Range. As a result, 59 electric locomotives are doing work that formerly required 167 steam locomotives; passenger and freight schedules have been Manifold advantages of electric greatly improved; and operating difficulties have been largely operation have been realized from overcome.

The situation of Davenport is remark­ able for natural beauty .and has what is known in commercial terms as "a strate­ gic situation," from the standpoint of manufacture and distribution-it being 186 miles west of Chicago, 341 miles east of Omaha. 334 miles southeast of the Twin Cities, and 315 miles northeast of Kansas ·City. It is an eastern gate to the state of Iowa. The river bluffs at this 'point are high and gently sloped, upon which rises this handsome and substantial city. from the river bottoms "to overlook a grand pan­ orama of fertile prairie country, wooded hills and the splendid river like a presid· ing deity in the midst. It is to those prairies, those woods and waters. that Davenport owes its growth from the time of its inception, when under the guidance of Colonel George Davenport, a govern­ ment post was founded on Rock Island, and· in 1835 this settlement was made on the Iowa mainland.. The colony was in­ corporated in 1838 and received a city charter in 1851. The growth of the city has been identical with the progress of the state of Iowa and of Scott County, of which Davenport is the seat.
