Barney SEerdan'S offer take $3.50
for The old ball park has awakened
some interest in the city park Ques-
ion. No matter how much interest
is awakened, nothing will be done un-
Tess someone takes hold of the scheme
Ind pushes it. There are two prop.
0sitiCns suggested to make a city
park out Of the place. One is to raise
tie funds by popular subscription,
deed it to the city and leave it under
the control Of the city council. The
other is to form astOck company, give
the band concerts and all outdoor
public entertainments in it and
charge a small admission fee until the
park is paid for. The latter scheme
is impractical. In the first place, a
city park should always be free to
anybody and everybody. The scheme
would not work, because people would
not pay to enter park, and it would
be unpopular. The proposition to
raise the purchase price by popular
subscription and turn the ground
over, to the city for improvement is the
only feasible one. There is no ques-
tion about sentiment being 10 favor
Of park. No one is against such a
thing; two out Of every three persons
regard it as anything but creditable
to the city that Wellington has no
public park. Many people would be
in favor Of the council apprOpriating
the money outright for the purchase
Of the land and its conversion into a
park. About the only difference of
opinion in regard to the park question
is its location. Some think it should
be nearer the business center OF the
town, but this is precluded by the
difference in the cost of the ground.
The old ball park could be made very
attractive. Should 1t be purchased
and turned over to the city, the coun-
Gil would not hesitate to spend two OF
three hundred dollars in improving it.
This should be one Of the provisions
Of che deed. 1t would be necessary
to only cut down or trim the hedge
around the ground, plant the ground
to trees, flowers, ETC., erect band
stand and seats and lay out walks to
transform the place into a park.

Ralph Kettering's Laundry Burned.

Ralph KetteriDg's laundry at E
Reno, OF, was entirely destroyed ~
fire at AS o'clock Wednesday after
noon, entailing loss to Mr.. Ketter-
ing OF $500, with only $500 insurance.
Mr.. Kettering was formerly in the
laundry business here with Ed Roth
trock, and purchased the Ell Reno
laundry last December. This NOM
ing's Eagle contains the following &C
count OF the fire:
"Fire started in the steam laundry
at 4:45 o'clock this afternoon
and destroyed the entire plant
and buildings on each side, leaving
half block in ruins. Obi Brown and
Clyde Jones, engineer and assistant,
respectively, were seriously injured.
Browns injuries were thought to be
fatal, but he is still alive. The ex.
plOsiOn Of "a large gasoline tank caused
the fire. The engineers were drawing
oil from the tank when, in some man.
ner, the gasoline fumes were ignited,
the explosion being Of such force as tU
knock both men off their feet. In.
stantly the flames spread over the
whole frame structure, which, dried
by the hot dry weather OF the last two
weeks, burned like finder. The eng
iueer jumped up and ran, dazed and
stunned, out OF the building. Jones,
the assistant, was able to get out Of
the engine room and fell on the grass.
He was picked up and carried into a
house close by and cared for by the
surgeons, There were fifteen other
employees in the building at the same
time, but all escaped safely. The
bookkeeper dashed back into the
Office, slammed the safe door shut and
carried the books from the desk,
already blazing.
1.-THE laundry stood on Ch0ctaw ave.
nue., the original main street of the
town, but now on side street, with
nearly all frame buildings,
"The fire spread quickly tothe build
ings on either side and soon a row was
ablaze half block long. The firemen

ings first fred, played their water or
surrounding buildings in danger. The
residence OF DR.. S. f. Roberts wa:
saved only by the splendid work Of
the fire companies, as were the yard.
OF the Long Bell Lumber company
and number of houses across The
street. A strong wind was blowing
and the terrible heat compelled The
tremen to work under water soaked
canopies held over them. Had the
fire crossed the street the Kerfoot
hotel would have been in danger, a,
it was just ahead Of the cinders ant
flying sparks.
"The heaviest loss falls on Ralpt
Kettering, who was proprietor Of the
laundry. Over $1,000 worth OF new
machinery had just been added t
the plant, which was valued at 81. 500
with only $500 insurance..
