WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
Don't Lower Lake Harriet.

To the Editor Of The Journal.
Permit few words in comment upon the
suggestion Of Mr.. Manning, of Boston, to
lower the level of Lake Harriet in order that
more ground may thereby be obtained for
amusement purposes in the northwest corner
of the lake. He proposes that the level OF
the lake be lowered two or three feet. In
the southwest and southeast corners of the
lake the water does not much exceed two or
three feet in depth for distances varying from
one to three hundred feet from the present
shore If Mr.. Manning's suggestions are
carried into effect, these portions of the lake
will become mud flats very offensive un-
On the southern and eastern shores of. the
lake the beautiful drive is fanked by trees.
These are now large and cannot be moved.
If the lake is lowered the drive will cease to
be on the shore, and it's beauty will largely
be destroyed. 49,
The lakes are the peculiar, natural beau
ties Of our city, and it would be the height
Of folly to lessen their size or do anything to
impair their beauty, Especially, would this
be true If done for the purpose of obtaining
more ground, for ground in that portion of
our city has been so cheap that until a short
time ago lots there could have been obtained
for a song, and now many times the ground
which the lowering of the lake will give in its
southwest corner can be had, adjoining the
pavilion grounds for but a small fraction
of the expense which would be entailed by the
lowering of the lake as proposed
If more ground is needed where now there
is water adjoining the pavilion site, let it be
reclaimed by filling, which would be cheaper
and would not ruin the rest or the lake. But
| the crowds have never yet been too large
| for the grounds we now have, and when the
present wild land, now embraced in Inter-
| iachen Park, is cleared SO as to be disable,
| the park board will have all the ground it
will ever need on the shores of Lake Harriet.
| The tendency of crowds from the cities is
not to stop in the city parks, but as trans
portation facilities are improved, to go far
| ther even If only for the sake of going; and
| in time the Minneapolis crowds will certainly
pass by Harriet and go to Minnetonka, evSl
| as, now the crowds from st. Paul have for
| saken Como, and go to Wildwood.
[ trust that The Journal will take this
| matter up and not permit our expert from
/ ''the Hub" to ruin our lakes with his re-
| claiming ideas, conceived in Boston where
i land may be (and in the Back Bay has proven
! to bel more valuable than water.

OFF TO hot SPRINGS
Company NJ, A. S. q. Left
Sunday to Attend the
Encampment.

Company NJ, First Infantry Ar
kansas State Guards, under COM
mand of Captain L. S. Arnold, left
Sunday morning for Hot Springs
to attend the state encampment.
The company was organized q
little over a year ago by Captain
Arnold and is made up entirely of
home boys, most of whom are sons
and nephews of men who fought,
bled and died in the noble cause of
our beloved Southland during the
bloody sixties.
1t was an inspiring scene when
the company marched up to the
depot to take the train, and during
The Newark journal. (Newark, Ark.) 1901-1959, 1903-09-11

the short interval before the arri-
val of the train Captain Arnold and
his men were freely complimented
by the large number of citizens
who had gathered to see them off.
Among the spectators were q num-
Der of old ex-Confederates, and
the scene brought forth touching
remarks upon similar scenes when
they were mustered into the SER
vice of their country Mt the Begin
ming of hostilities in the civil war.
While we would not depreciate
the work of any officer or member
of the company, and appreciate the
fact that they are nice, gentleman
ly young men, we must say that
the honors of organizing and dis
ciplining the company have been
manfully won by Captain Arnold,
who has devoted great deal of
time and attention to the matter.
And in this he has had valuable as
sistance from Lieutenants Speed
and Williamson.
Captain Arnold, a likeness of
whom is presented herewith, is
but slightly over 30 years of age,
but has had good deal of expert
ence in military affairs. After at
tending the Arkansas State Uni
versity for two terms. he entered
the Missouri Military Academy at
Mexico, Mo-, where he was stu
dent for two terms, and later went
to West Point, where he served
nearly two years, resigning in 1902
TO return home to take charge of
his large farming interests.
He is an excellent young man,
of modest and exemplary habits,
and The Journal hopes that he may
some day become the commanding
general of the United States army.
