UNSIGHTLY SPOT
To be Transformed Into a Neat and Pretty
Park.

Judging from the work being ex-
pended on the Ice Harbor Lot and ad-
jacent territory this notorious and un-
slightly spot from which strangers re-
ceived their first impression on enter
ing the city and which fixed itself in
delibly on their minds when they were
leaving the city, is to be transformed
into spot of beauty and pride to our
citizens.
The ground is being graded and a
driveway will be laid out around the
entire square which will be intersected
with gravelled walks. In the center of
the square large flower bed will add
to the beauty of the plot of ground
which will be sown to grass.
The Goose Run sewer is being COW
cred with dirt which is secured from
the excavation being made for the new
building which Mr.. Caskey is construct
ing on the West Side. The fill has
now assumed respectable proportions
and when it has been extended further
a walk will be laid along that side of
the street.
To the Marietta Improvement Asso-
citation and the Park Commissioners
belongs the credit of having inaugural
ed and carried out successfully this
idea.

these fluctuations. Letters of respon-
sible correspondents in Pretoria depict
the situation in rather despairing
mood.

Ferret Kills Eagle in the Sky.

Special to the Leader.
Denver, Col, April 16.-Mountain
eagles are reported to be swarming on
the Tomichi, near Gunnison. feasting
on the thousands of rabbits driven in
to the valley by the snow in the foot
hills. The ranchmen fear that the
ravenous hunger of the eagles will
tempt them to attack human beings.
One of the eagles met it's match a
few days ago. Ferrets have been
brought into the valley to kill the rab..
bits. This particular eagle swooped
down upon ferret. The ferret caught
the eagle by the throat and the bird
flew far into the air. Only few min
utes elapsed when the eagle came
tumbling down. The ranchman who
had watched the mid-air battle ran to
the fallen bird and found it dead. The
ferret had bitten through the throat
and was still clinging to the bird.
Tom Holland, Superintendent of
Fisheries, said the other day that the
eagles were proving good sport for the
and that several large ones
had been brought down with guns in
the hands of the ranchmen in the val
ley.

And do the Best You Can.

No matter what your calling,
Would YOU achieve success?
Let each day show improvement,
And stop at nothing less;
You may not reach perfection,
'Tis neer attained by man,
Yet life will be a success,
If you do the best you can.
Don't be an idle dreamer,
Build castles in the air;
And plan to cross the ocean,
Rouse the nations over there;
Take up the work before you,
Be active. be man.
And if your task be humble,
Then do the best you can.
Don't sit down like Macawber,
And gaze upon the throng,
Waste precious moments waiting
Until something comes along;
Today, this very moment,
Let action be begun,
Still fight life's battle bravely,
And do the best you can.
You may never storm a castle,
Mid the cannon's deafening roar;
Or receive Nations plaudits,
When the victory is Ger;
Yet conquests are before you,
Upon nobler plan,
And you will be a hero,
If you do the best you can.
If you never rouse a nation
With an eloquence sublime,
You can leave behind a record
That will live as long as time;
Though others shine more brightly.
Still act upon this plan:
81 will tread the path of duty,
And do the best cam
