This is the actual birthyear of our new park. and our Park Association will pardon us if we christen the park on the fourth of July, as proposed by some of its members, and call 1t "Cen- tennial Elm Park" for the reason that the sturdy elm trees that surround the park were planted in the centennial year 1876 by large number of our pub lie spirited citizens, among whom were Mesa c. B Burrall, T. l. Norton, Wm. B. Rudd, W. H. Williams, Hubert Williams, M. H. Robbins, B. F. Hoyt, and many others. M. H. Robbins do- mated the trees, over hundred in num- Der.

We we'll remember looking Oh when MT Burrall planted the elm tree near the watering kettle. The ladies did their share of the work by furnish ing refreshments to the men who form ed the Bee" and planted these now beautiful elm trees.
