In the Curtis bill approved BY
congress q provision is made by
which towns in the Indian Terrific
ry are given the right to purchase
property for parks and other pub
lie purposes at the rate of $40 per
acre. The Atoka agreement is ST.
lent ON the subject aud the wise
heads Of our city dais are arguing
that in matters where the agree
ment is silent the provisions of the
Curtis bill are in force.
Taking this as basis of opera
ton, A. Eddleman, as member of
city council, and j. C.. Graham,
city attorney. wrote the interior
department at Washington, enclos-
ing the resolutions of the city coun-
Gil pertaining to the purchase of a
public park and enquiring as to
their right to make such a pur-
chase. The reply from the de-
partment stated that the letter had
been referred to the Indian inspect
or, who in turn would report it to
the appraising board. The board
of appraisers here have instructed
the council that they will make a
favorable report to the department
on the question of parks, and re-
quested that the council select a
site and have it plated as a park.
The council now has committee
at work investigating the different
locations suitable, and that have
been submitted. The Park asso-
citation have agreed to sell the city
Wilmington park at So per acre,
but reserves that part lying north
of the race tracks, which includes
Schaub's rose garden ard the
natural grove on the north. 1t
seems now that this committee is
favorably inclined toward the ma
tural grove of one hundred acres,
situated to the south of the ex-
treme east of Main street. This
place affords a natural grove un-
surpassed by any other location In
in the city limits and also affords
plenty of room for half mile race
track. Should this wooded place
be plated as a park the only cost
to the city would be the payment
of $40 per acre, while the cost of
the Wilmington park would be $15
per acre.

As 10 most affairs of paramount
public interest, Inattsrs educa-
t;onal come In FOR their full share
IL sentiment and gush. in con-
.eryative comment on the rise and
steady progress of our city schools,
one is happily immune from the
artravagant superlative.
The executive ability Of the su-
nerintendent seems to have diffused
itself throughout the whole corps
of teachers, which is demonstrated
by the remarkable facility with
which order has been created out
of chaos, the nature of which can
only be understood and clearly de-
fined by one who has Travelled the
road 30 beset with obstacles as that
Of the pioneer teacher.
In view of the foregoing, it is
safe to predict from the present
outlook that the successful conduct
of the schools here will prove in
the future an established precedent
from which the whole Territory
will draw healthful impetus, re-
bounding to the highest welfare
and truest prosperity Of our own
community. SCRIPTUM.

Perhaps, however. the most interest

tho names given the dumb animals I'm

list there 81 dogs 40 cats and l9 goats,
10 say nothing of numerous birds and

Of tho heroes OF the Spanish war. and
the relative proportion of favorite
names is about the same as I'm the case
OF children. Strange To say. however.
