4 Novel For a1frlA

1t is said that Mr. Howells, who is
perhaps the foremost of living Amer
lean novelists, has long had i'll mind a
story of American girl-life, which he
believes will be the best piece of work
he has ever done. The great novelist
has now been induced to write out the
story, and at present he is at work
upon it. 1t is q novel unlike any which
Mr. Howell has ever written. 1t deals
entirely with the struggles of Il West
ern girl who goes to New York, and
the story will have about it all the
flavor which attaches to a tale of city
life with young girl IL the central
heroine. Heretofore all of Mr.. How
ellis novels have gone to the Harpers,
but this special girls novel viii be
printed during 1892 in The Ladies
Home Journal, Of Philadelphia, the
publishers of which have bought the
exclusive rights to the story from Mr.
HowellS. The novel is to be beautiful
~ illustrated, and Mr.. uowells himself
believes that it will be as attractive a
story as any with which his l:ame has
been connected.

Steel Manufactures

1t is not improbable that another
year will witness the construction here
not only of ship plate for steel whale
back vessels, but the engines and
boilers for the same. The engines will
be manufactured by the West Super
ior Iron and Steel company and the
boilers at plant that will be located
at or near the shipyard. 1t is still too
early to discuss this prospective inno-
walton, but the Evening Telegram
speaks advisedly.
The time is not far distant when a
complete whaleback steamer will be
constructed here of purely local man.

The Columbia Daily C.,leni1 ~.

An old friend in new dress, and an
article that has come to be one of the
indeSpensibleS OF an editors desk,
comes to hand in the Columbia Daily
Calendar for 1892. The calendar is in
the form of pad containing 367
leaves each 81 X q inches; one, for
each day of the year, to be removed
daily, and one for the entire year. The
day of the week, of the month and of
the year are given, and each slip con
tains a paragraph pertaining to cycl-
ing or some kindred subject. At the
bottom of each leaf is a blank for
memoranda. every leaf being acces-
sible at any time. The stand is an en-
tirely new departure, being made OF
sheet metal finished in ivory black and
is very compact. At the close of the
year the stand will be available for an
other pad. This is the seventh issue of
this now we'll known calendar, yet all
the matter Is fresh and new, having
been carefully cullated from leading
publications and prominent writers,
most OF it being specially written for
the purpose. 1t comprises notable
events in cycling, opinions of physic.
ians and clergymen, hints about road
making, and numerous other topics.

The Cltizens Committee Discuss the
PARK System

An adjourned meeting of the citi-
zens' committee was held at the
Broadway last evening to consider the
report of the special committee ap-
pointed week ago to look up the
city's financial condition in connection
with the proposed park and boulevard
system, about twenty being present.
The committee after reviewing the
condition OF the city's financial affairs
as gwen in the Leader of Tuesday. re-
commended that everything in the ma
ture of acreage connected with the
park system be dropped, the city re-
tanning only the donated tracts and
following out the proposed boulevard
improvement.
Some discussion followed with refer
ence to the possibility of a withdrawal
of the donation, and an amendment
was offered to the effect that If they
be withdrawn then the whole park and
boulevard system be dropped.
c. L. Catlin, of the park commission,
was called upon and gave a brief out
line of the commissions work and the
present status of affairs. Col. Hayes
spoke, citing the financial condition of
the city, and while in favor Of parks if
they could be secured, was not favor
able to the proposition which meant
being beyond the limit of city in
debtedness. The carrying of $500. 900
of park bonds was too much; the pub
lie liked boulevards, but would not
coincide in the adding of SO heavy a
load to the city's Indebtedness, he
said.
Alexander McEachern thought it
would be a mistake to do away with
the park system and boulevard. The
public must take into account the
great number who need fresh air and
recreation, and place to so. At
least $4,000 should be laid out yearly
for park improvements.
Judge Cloagh thought there woalI
be other things to consider which might
affect the city. There was danger to
be apprehended from 4 large indebt-
edness. City affairs should be con-
Quoted on the same basis as the afairs
of a business man and administered
on business principles
John w. Scott quite agreed with
Mr.. McEachern, and was in favor of
pushing the system to 4 finish. Final
ly the report as amended was adopted,
and on motion committee consisting
of j. W. Scott, Col. Hiram Hayes,
Judge Alex. w. Stow, Judge Solon II.
Clough and John I. Murphy, WAS APP
pointed to prepare another report and
recommendation to submit to the
council at its next regular meeting.

SOUTH RANGE ITEMS.

That was happy asscmblage OF
people at the new home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Walker on the day before
Thanksgiving. 1t being Nj Walkers
forty sixth birthday, the friends were
invited to their home and rartook of
bountiful repast. Mr.. Walker is
we'll known throughout the county, he
being one of the supervisors of the
town of Superior. Fortysix years!
That is not old. but one would sooner
think Mr.. W. thirty six, judging by
looks and actions, and yet he has been
grandpa for some seven years past.
We don't know positively why he holds
his age so well, but we venture to say
that loye of home, temperance, keeping
good hours. interest in the young and
love of flowers has had something to
do with it, Mr.. Walker has made a
study of flowers and plants for many
years and has green house.
South Range has good school house,
and town hall which they may we'll
feel proud Of The hall is substan-
tial building, neatly finished through
out, and sub divided into rooms SO that
each town officer has a comfortable
office to himself. The building pre-
sents a better appearance inside and
out than some court houses we see
through some parts of the country.
Miss Ruth Davis, of Superior is hav-
ing good success as teacher of the
South Range school. There are about
thirty pupils in attendance.
Mr.. Tubbs, merchant at South
Range, and Mr.. Pllbrooks of Superior,
are putting in new mill here.
Mr.. Frank Gage and MIR. Harding
have purchased the big mill from
King Staples and will have it running
full force another season.
Our worthy County Superintendent
Prof. Williams and several other tired
hunters were trudginG away over the
Range Thanksgiving day wondering
why the deer wouldn't just as lief run
against their guns as anybody el5e's."
Rev. Mr.. Britton of Superior was
called to South Range last week to
baptise the youngest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Walker

We give in another column a report
of the citizens meeting held at the
Broadway hotel Wednesday eve ming
to discuss the park and boulevard sys-
tenn. The meeting represented the
most wealthy men of our city, and
conclusions were largely against the
park plan, while 1t was thought the
boulevard might perhaps be main
tanned and completed in the near
future. The TINES has nothing to say
against parks, but it has always op-
posed this big park scheme. For our
park system give us dozen or more
small ones scattered throughout the
length and breadth of our city. A
block of ground. especially for this
country where parks will be so little
used. is plenty of ground for a park.
and if the numerous little triangular
pieces of ground scattered throughout
the city caused by the different angles
of streets and new plats, any and all
of which have but small commercial
value, were converted into nice little
parks, it would beautify our city be-
yond that of any city in the land, and
a hundred per cent. more than any big
park system could do. From the east
ern boundry of the city limits west to
the eastern line Of the West Superior
town Mat there arc numarOus h1OokS
of ground-about four acres each al
ready set apart for park purposes.
These blocks were so set apart for this
purpose by the original townsite pro-
prietors, and we see by this what the
idea of a perfect park system was as
held by these men of culture and
taste. Their idea of park system
was evidently to get som ething which
would accommodate and benefit all
the people, and by the liberal dlstri-
button of small parks they place them
within the reach of all rich and poor
alike. We do not want big park
and that SO elegantly laid out and
fixed up that at every corner the Wis
itor is confronted with keep off the
grass" sign. Give us lots of little
parks, but away with your big and
and elegant and costly humbugs.
What good would a fine park on the
st. Louis do the humble citizen living
at the head of Alloues bays
