Island Parks OF the
Lake Shore.


acres, and Washington, also on the South
side, is second in size, with ST. acres,
while the more famous Lincoln park,
on the North side, comes third with but
299 acres
To this park area the commission hav-
ing the subject in charge propose to
add $4,000 acres divided into parks of
but few acres up to those containing
as much as 5000 acres. The parks OF
but few acres each are to be distrib-
uted through the crowded tenement dis
tricts, and especially along the river.
The large parks will be located in the
suburbs to the north, west and south.
Those on the west will lie along the
banks Of the Des PLANES river, and
those on the South will include portions
of Calumet, Wolf and Hyde lakes.
In addition to these again it is pro-
proposed to build parks in the lake along
the south shore. There is a rocky reef
lying about 300 to 500 yards from the
shore, and running from Thirty ninth
street south for some IL miles. tits pro-
posed to fill in along this reef and so
create island parks. Such a scheme,
which is quite practical, and will I'M
doubtedly be a reality within few
years, would give to Chicago advan-
tages such are now possessed by New
York, Boston. Buffalo, Detroit or To-
ronto
There is a guiding sentiment at the
helm in Chicago just now, which, if it
continues, will eventually make of the
city the metropolis of America in more
ways than mere numbers.

1AsAns I'VE" Tarh was more than 100
yards from the shore line.
Michigan avenue was then the water
front Of the central section of the city.
To-day the water front is a good quar-
ter Of mile further east, and the shore
line OF the lake cannot be seen from the
sidewalk along this section of Michigan
avenue. To-day the Illinois Central, in
stead Of entering the city over the waters
of the lake, has its terminal lines through
the center of one of the city parks. Three
years from now some of the most mag
nificent public buildings of the city will
lie east of the railroad, and the trains
will be practically buried in open sub
ways.
Grant park, as this new public pleas
ure ground is called, has been the sub
5ect of much litigation. Montgomery
Ward has tried by every means at his
command to prevent the erection Of any
buildings upon it, and succeeded until
the property was turned over to the
South Park board. That portion of it
which lies east of the railroad tracks is
now an unsightly dumping ground for
the refuse of the city streets, and into it
has gone countless thousands of wagon
loads of rubbish of all kinds from the
street sweepings to the old brick of
RACED buildings. Upon it is to be erect
ed the new home of the Field Columbian
museum. to cost a million dollars or
more. and the million-dollar Creare IL
brary building. The buildings and the
park are expected to be fully completed
within three years.

SMALL DIVIDENDS FOR MAY.
Estimates Compiled by Journal Of
Commerce Say Total Will Be
Less Than $15, 100000.

Disbursements by industrial corpora
tons for dividends in May will be the
smallest for the month in series of
years, according to estimates compiled
by the Journal of Commerce. The total
based on returns thus far. is only 314.-
s91, 1857, against s21,o25.6 97 in 1908, and
SIS, 793,9s1 in May, 1902. This change
in the May dividend situation is easily
explained. Last year the United States
Steel corporation paid a quarterly
dividend of $S,054,919 in consequence of
the conversion of preferred stock into
bonds. Other companies will disburse
dividends on a reduced percentage and
several which paid last year will be
missing from the list.

1t is said to be the only watch OF
the kind in existence
On the interior of the case several
watchmakers, who have repaired OF
cleaned it have engraved their names.
Among these is Oliver Gerish, Port,
lands first matchmaker. When he re-
paired this watch the only jeweIry
store in the Forest city was in an

had no showcase or counter and kept
his money to make change in a wood
box in the brace Of a beam.
