PARK MATTERS.

The Election to Fill the Vacancy
in the Board Is Postponed.
At the meeting of the board of park
commissioners yesterday the election of
a commissioner to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Hon. E. M. Will
son was postponed, and it Is probable
tt at the commission will allow the va
cancy to be filled by the people at the
coming election. At least that is what
Mayor Babb says, and it is understood
that majority of the board favor such
a plan. In the absence Of President
Loring, Vice President Haugen oc-
cupied the chair and the routine
business was quickly dispatched. A
communication was received from E. A.
Perkins and others, asking that Lyn-
dale avenue, from Twenty-ninth avenue
north to its intersection with Second
street north, be made boulevard, and
widened to 100 feet. They offer to give
the board seventeen feet on each side
of the street. The matter was referred
to the committee on designation of
grounds. j. ii. Bradish notified the
board that people were carrying off
trees from the Moulton tract. and asked
that a park policeman be stationed

The request was referred to the super
intendent and the committee on i'm

munication was received from a
man in Stephen, Mimi, offer
ing to the board three black
bears, 1.-TWO shes and one he,"
five weeks old, at $50 each. 1t was
moved to refer the communication to
the committee on menagerie, but it was
buried on the file. The motion formerly
adopted to authorize Prof Cleveland to
make plans for Powderhorn park was
reconslde1ed, and it was decided to re-
fer the matter to the committee on i'm
provements. 1t was stated that Prof.
Cleveland would charge about 5000 to
do the work, and it was considered alto
gether too much. Commissioner Nor
throp called attention to the need of
lavatories in the different parks, espe-
cially at Minnehaha and Central parks.
and the superintendent and the commit
tee on Improvements were directed to
erect as many as were necessary for the
accommodation of the public.

Police Captain Jake Helm did not
have time to 90 very far from home, so
he and two friends walked out to CryS-
tai lake. Here they fished among the
sign boards, and besides securing sew
eral good (?) bargains in town lots and
plating a portion of the lake they
caught several good-sized sunfish and
perch. Jake says the perch have driven
all the black bass and mucalonge out OF
Crystal lake.

S. S. Kilvington, the genial health Off

tells a fish story he tells the truth.
''Doc" has a pretty little place at Spring
Park, ana if the fishing amt good right
off that point it is not the doctors fault.
Bright and early in the morning he was
out with his party. They caught a few
fish, the doctor discovered that the
box containing the frogs had been
left on shore, SO they had to row back to
get them; but as soon as they reached
the landing the doctor found them
under the forward locker. How they
got there, of course he didn't know. AS
there were three in the boat he Sug-
gested that his two friends take the boat
and he would take another one. That
was done. In little while they were
on the grounds again, and Kilyingtop
hooked a bass. 1t would probably weigh
something over three pounds, but a
three-pound bass was not what he
wanted. 1t is a cold day when Kilving-
ton gets left, and the 1st day of June
was pretty warm. Before the doctor
had left home he placed q small pack
age IN his coat pocket. That package
contained five pounds of No. shot, and
was to be used only in case of emer-
gency. The emergency had arisen
when he pulled that three-pound bass
into his boat. Open came the fish's
mouth, and down went the shot,
and the fish was dropped into

fearful yank at the line, and Dell arose
in his excitement and grasped his line
in firm hand. He braced his feet, and
the boat began to move slowly, the fish
towing him toward the shore. just
how he finally captured the fish

According to G. G. Hutchins, the we'll

one bright particular spot in which to
cast line if you are looking for vari-
ETY., quantity and quality This we'll
known local angler tells tale Of piSca-
torial sport that would fire the average
angler to supreme longing. Heretofore
he had had but medium luck upon his
numerous fishing excursions, but Bush
lake broke the spell. He pushed out
into the ripping water early in the
morning and picked out spot indicated
by the guide who piled the oars. He
was about to cast into the water with
one hook, when with a look of disdain
the Bush lake fisherman told him to put
on more hooks, and he hung his line
with round half-dozen. Out went the
line, and out spun the reel, and Hutch
ms nearly tainted with delight when he
hauled in two bass. one pickerel, two
crOppies and dog fish. The sport kept
up until he was tired, and he had to
hire lumber wagon to bring in his
catch.

Aid. Parry has given up the idea of
running for the legislature. He be-
lieves in the old saying. that "a bird
in the hand is worth two in the buSh,"
and SO will content himself with his
present Office for two years more. He
says he has several reform plans in
view which he proposes submitting to
the new council when it is installed in
office, providing the board of public
works does not materialiZe. The ap-
parent reason for not submitting these
plans for public benefit now is that the
present council could not pass a reform
measure if they tried. Parry's friends
say he was the father of the lighting
scheme which Aid. Potter sprang on
the public short time ago; that Potter
got an mixing of the Seventh ward al

publican aldermen, is of the opinion
that this will not be good year for Re-

Aid. Bradish, though a four-year-man,
is fixing up his fences for the judge OF
probate nomination. He figures that ne

gain by entering the contest. The
county convention will be held in adj
vance of the city convention, and If de-
feated for the nomination of judge of
probate, be can remain where he is and
poke fun at Aid. Parry for two years
more. His friends think he will be able
to show strong following in the con-
yention. but he will have hard man to
defeat in the present incumbent-Jud
Bailey. Bailey's friends maintain that
their man will be nominated in spite of
ali opposition, and that the more candi-
dates he has against him the better will
be his chances. But this theory might
not work if they pooled their issues.
Maj. W. E. Haskell, if reports are

good enough to represent Uncle Sam at

pie feel that it is a duty they owe their
country to keep themselves before the
public if they must turn themselves into
cigar signs. The major could do the
honors at the capitol ia good shape, but
as for his usefulness as legislator, no
one would accuse him of going to st.
Paul for that.

THE LUMBER EXCHANGE.
A Retail Price List Presented For
Adoption.

Adoption.
The Iumbermen's exchange held a
meeting yesterday morning, and re-
ceiyed the retail price list which had
been prepared by the committee APP
pointed week ago. The list was read
to the members item by item, and chan
ges made by vote whenever they were
thought necessary. The list as adopted,
provides for an average advance of 50
per thousand over the present rate, and
it is proposed to draw up an agreement
for each retail lumberman to sign, agree
to the rates. A penalty will be provided
and a forfeit put up to cover it, in case
the rule is broken. These minor matters
will be arranged at the meeting to be
held Tuesday morning.
The committee appointed to canvass
the matter of entertaining the visiting
lumbermen, who are to meet in the city
July 9, reported that the matter had
+ been thoroughly discussed, and it had
been agreed that an effort should be
made to entertain them. The proposed
programme is as follows. July 9. at

J. B. Bassett handed in his resigna-

the exchange refused to accept, and he
was finally induced to serve until the
next election. The next meeting will
be held Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock.
