II. S. Campbell, representing the
Ballou Basket Works left Tuesday
evening on southern trip, covering
eight states and going as far south as
Texas. He will not be home again
until the holidays. He has not been
out for several months for the reason
that the concern has been fairly
swamped with orders and could not
take care of more business If they had
it with their peesent facilities. They
promise to make a fine showing this
year
Some people who were impatient at
the delay have wondered many times
when work was to be begun upon the
city park property. 1t has not been
owing to any dilatoryness on the part
of the park commission but for the
very good reason that they have not
had any funds at their disposal until
very recently. An extension OF Main
St along the river bank is being built
and will be completed this week, also
the brush is being cut and the grounds
cleaned up so that there is already
quite an improvement. Nothing very
extensive can be attempted this year,
as funds are short, but it is hoped and
expected to make quite showing
next year.
