SOME OBJECTIONS.
a Correspondent Who Does Not Like
the sunset Park Idea and Who
StaIes His RPasnna.

Rock ISLAND, August 24.-Editor
ARGUS: l notice in the daily papers a
proposition 20 be pres nted by the Bust
ess Mems association to the city council
recommending that the city establish q
park between Tenth ard Thirteenth
streets on the river front. This may look
to the men owning property adjoining
the proposed PARK, ike q grand project,
but TO the tax payer outside of the i'm
mediate neighborhood it is likely to be
looked upon with some suspicion.
The project contemplstes the abandon
ment Of First avenue between Tenth and
Thirteenth streets and closing it to BUSH
Cess, and the removal Of the tracks of the
railroad company. Admit. if you choose.
this could be done, let US see what we
have got in the way Of material for a
park; simply an i'll shaped strip of land,
the surface of which is from one 10 three
feet below high water mark. to be filled
in at an enormous expense to the city
without friendly tree or shrub to shell
ter the visitor while watching The setting
sun. Then, the entire sewerage of the
neighborhood is emptied along the front
of this strip and lies at low
water on the stones basking in
the sun, ready for prevailing winds
to watt it into the park. The cost which
these gentlemen assume will be so light
will run into the thousands al the exs
pense of the taxpayers, as any thought
iul man must know. The expenses of
the city arc rapidly increasing ana going
at present outlook far beyond our pro-
spective income. l am a firm believer in
public improvements, but before any new.
park schemes are taken up let the council
carry out the promises made to the PEG.
pie OF the lower part o. the city and fin
ish up and beautify GsInsey park, which
il now an unsighty place and disgrace
to our par: of the city. This will take
sll the funds the city will have to spare
for good while.
Then too, instead of sunset parks. let
us have some of our back streets brought
10 grade, new sidewalks built, the slough
filed up and many things done that
would greatly add to health. benefit the
property of working people. and beau
tify our city, befo-e We create any ex-
pensive river front parks, fit only for
few wealthy people. Later on it will be
time to lay out and adopt some eompre-
hensive system of parks on the bluffs
where pure air is abundant and nature
has beautified the GROUNDS and made them
ready for use. Yours truly.

his breath away but he managed 10 thank
his friends as best he could under the
circumstances, aud the guests were then
given the freedom of the camp and en-
tertsined in royal manner.
An ARGUS reporter made a trip 10 the
camp yesterday and came upon Camp

into the large kitchen tent he discovered
Messrs. Dodge. Barth, Reimers and
Cleaveland in the act of preparing the
mid day meal. They appeared to be

Come to OuI- Fair Land


General II. r. Tannant, a pioneer
settler and Indian fighter of Eastern
Washington, has lately reaflirmed his
conviction that large section of
Whitman county properly belongs to
Idaho. He regrets that this is true,
but he does not hesitate to place him
self on record as firmly of the opinion
that it is. He was on the ground
when the survey was made, and knows
how the mistake occurred. The
surveyors, he says, were instructed
to proceed up the Snake river and
thence to point three miles east of
Steptoe butte, from which point they
were to run line north and south, To-
eating the boundary line between
Washington and Idaho. This they
endeavored to do, but mistook
another butte for Steptoe, and
measured thcrcllom. The venerable
hero contends, therefore, that the
towns of Garfield, Oaksdalc, Palousc
City and Pullman, agricultural college
and all, properly belong to Idaho.
The Tacoma Globe which publishes
the statement, thinks it is doubtless
correct, but adds, "Thcre is little
probability that the line will ever be
resurveyed or changed. If so il
ought to be removed further east,
giving all the panhandle of Idaho tc
Washington, to which it geograph
ically belongs.

About Estrays.

The following are some of the
most important points of the estray
law: Any person taking up strays
must within ten days after taking up
same post notices, giving description
marks and brands of such animal,
names and residences of taker up,
and da1e of taking up same in three
public places in the county, and one
notice on the door of the auditor s
Office, also file copy of said notice
with the auditor. Instead of posting
notices, "Taken Up" may publish
in a weekly newspaper in the county
for four weeks, and in either case a
copy of said notice must be filed
with the auditor and copy posted
on the door of his office If estrays
are not claimed and proven and
charges paid within two months of
the time of filing the notice with the
auditor, said estrays must be sold by
the sheriff or q constable, after giving
ten days notice by posting three no
tees in public places, in the precinct
whore such estray is taken up. At
ter paying all charges the remaining
proceeds Of such sale must be depos
tied with the county treasurer.
The auditor is entitled to receive
fifty cents for filing such notice, 6
copy of the same to be furnished fol
posting. Owners of any estrays SC
sold may within six months after
such sale make proof of the owner
ship to the county commissioners oi
the county in which said estray was
sold, thereupon aid commissioners
must order u warrant to be drawn OF
the treasurer for the amount paid t
him upon the sale of such estray.

city 1t is generally conceded that
these gentlemen got the best bargain
that can be made OF school lands in
the county. In addition to the above
bargain Mr. Wolterbeck purchased
forty acres upon which are located
the celebrated Hooper Springs, of
Soda Spring. The popularity of the
waters of these springs, for their
medical and hygienic properties,
makes the value OF this land inesti-
mable, and Mr.. Wolterbeck has Sc

They Should Have One

A correspondent in the Citizen of
last week urges the construction of
that much needed bridge near John
Riley's place on Crane creek in the
following language. Some time ago
| saw in your paper a description of
a trip made by the editor of the SIGNAL
through our section of the country,
mentioning, that he found band of
kickers on Crane, the cause of dis
satisfaction being the absence of a
bridge at the crossing of Crane creek
near John Riley's place,
He says "The road piRes down a
very steep bank into long deep hole
in the creek turns down the Middle
of this, climbs some stumps, roots
etc and up another steep bank on the
other side" The gentleman has
described the place splendidly, and
the settlers of Crane are extremely
obliged to him for kind advice as to
bringing their wants to the notice of
the proper authorities. OF course he
has only heard one side of the story
and it is natural for him to, suppose
that we have done nothing to get
relief.
| may as well say right here that
this state of affairs existed before the
present board of county commits
sioners began their term. 1t was
brought before the former commits
sioners, and one of that honorable
body even went SO far, as to person
ally inspect the place and see for him
self that such man trap was a dis
grace to the county, being as it is, q
road extensively travelled all the year
round, and at this time Of the yeai

man from Council made estimates
and of course laid the matter before
the other commissioners and that was
the end of it.
suppose in the rush of business
the present county commissioners,
also, have entirely forgotten that one
of cur most prominent citizens has
been before the board and asked il
the name Of the settlers for a remed,
in the shape of high water bridge
Such bridge would benefit not onl,

Greek and Roman STOVES.

Warm as Greece and Rome and Egypt
are, stoves were made there in the din
and misty vistas of the past. 1t was moi
just the pattern used in Chicago at pres
ent, but was a metal basin in which
charcoal was burned. It sat in the mid.
die of the room, and as the resulting
smoke was of the slightest no opening in
the roof or elsewhere was necessary
The same implement, still called by its
old Greek name of brazier, is still EN-.
ployed in many portions of continental
Europe, where it is utilized for heating
as well as cooking.
But the progressive Romans improved
on that and made hypocaust. 1t was
the germ of the present furnace. 1t was
made under the house in little cellar
prepared for it, and the heat was con-
Quoted to the rooms and baths through
crevices left in the floor and lower por-
tions of the wall. Later lues were pro-
vided, conducting heat to any portion of
the house. In some of the old Roman
villas in England the remains of these
old time furnaces are still found.-Chi-
