TO IMPROVE LIBERTY PARK
GROUNDS WILL BE MADE VERY
ATTRACTIVE.
Bicycle Track to Be Put in and Other
Amusement Features-Arc Lights
Arranged For.

With the expenditure Of but compar-
atively little money, Liberty park is TO
be made more attractive this season
than ever. Chairman Hewlett OF the
city council committee which has d.
rection over the park, reports that the
grounds viii soon be lighted at night
with arc lights, a children's playground
will be set apart in the northeast cor
ner. a free baseball campus viii be
provided, the fish pond viii be stocked
with friSky pisces, and an ornamental
entrance will be erected. The raVine
back of the old mill Will be converted
into a runway for the deer and
other animals in the zoo annex.
While these Improvements are in pro-
cess of contamination, Parkkeeper En-
ickson is directing a general spring
cleanup. In the Horticulture line every
thing is looking so promising that the
keeper, with justifiable pride, predicts
the parks bowers Of beauty will show
TO greater advantage this year than
ever before.
An Improvement which interests
every wheelman and every driver OF
fine hOrsefiesh is Councilman Harten-
STEMS worthy effort TO have d bicycle
path constructed around the large circle
at the inner edge. It is estimated that
there are 10000 bicyclists in Salt Lake,
and they have long hoped for some
thing to be done for their safety and
comfort While indulging the pleasures
of a spring or GUNNER afternoon and
evening in Liberty park. Already sew
eral of the local wheel clubs have OF
ficially endorsed Councilman Harlem
STEMS resolution calling for the pro-
posed path in the park.
Councilman Hartenstein, voicing the
sentiment Of the biker6, would prefer an
asphalt path or one made of shale or
other enduring material, but he will be
content for a start if the wheelmen'
path in the park is constructed OF nne
gravel rolled and daily sprinkled- The
cost would be very small to the city.
1t is proposed later on to collect
license tax of 80 cents or 81 a year on
all bicycles, and apply the revenue to-
ward constructing cinder or gravel
paths for Wheelmen in all parts OF the
city outside the paved districts.

BRAVE STRUGGLE FOR LIFE

at Kansas City and he came here IN

of 1895 he had to quit work on account

There is only one way to cure deafness

Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con-

unless the Inflammation can be taken

streets were crowded with Saturday

driver, and he had a very narrow es-

Lewis had been out with young

spirited animal. After taking his com
panion home, Lewis proceeded down
West Temple street, and while passing
in front of the Tribune, somebody woke
up, the horse became alarmed and little

driver lost all control over him.

driver Ieaped out, and the horse made
for the sidewalk. Edwards, the wheel

the same time, hearing the shouts or
the crowd, and it looked as though ne

must be considered, and on the whole
the authorities look upon the proposed
site opposite the city and county build
ing as very impracticable, unless a po-
lice station is built adjoining.
II is said that the city had plans
drawn some time ago for Sail that
was to be added to the present police
station at the same cost Of the one now
propesed-$25,0 900. The escape of pris-
oners was to be rendered almost I'M
possible, as in going to court they
walked through a hall into the court
room. and there would never be any
need of their getting outside the build
ing. But that Jail was never built. 1t
is suggested that the city could do no
better than to go ahead with the old
plan now.
