Now Up to the Women,

The work on the Great Northern
park has so far progressed that grad.
Ing is about finished and the grounds
are in readiness for seeding. The
Woman's Improvement League, which
inaugurated the good work, will now
attend to the matter of planting the
flowers and shrubbery and operations
will be commenced at an early date.
A fence will of course be essential for
protection and the grounds will be
neatly enclosed before further work is
done by the ladies. Al present the
ladies request that all exercise as
much care as possible in keeping the
grounds in their present good shape,
and notices against trespassing on
the property have been posted.
A meeting Of the ladies interested
will probably be arranged for this
week. Several members of the League
are at present at the lakes.
Since the above was put in type, we
learn that a meeting of the ladies will
be held this afternoon at Crescent
Beach. Mesdames Rice, Qvale, Pin
ney, Mossberg and Hornbeck drove
out today to confer with memb bers of
the League who are spending the sum-

from a trip to the twin cities, where
he had been on business connected

and to consult parties for the lease of
another building in this city for the
