Answer to x in Last Weeks Come t.

Does X know a square of Ind in
Carnegie is already fenced off for a
park? This is beginning. There are
two beautiful spots that ought to be
held by the town for this purposs-one
right across from Robbins Roost,"
and the other the Love property near
the Presbyterian church on West Main
street. Nature has made these grounds
so that little help would be needed by
man. If the owners would price them
perhaps the city might find a way to
buy them. Parks should grow up with
city, and if We expect to grow they
should be growing too. Where is the
opera house we were promised some
time ago? Wenever asked, what will
be the matter with the one at the Sol
dlers' Home" The question is how
many civilians can go there. Will
some Que who knows please tell us.

wherein the engineer of one competing
line falls in love with the niece of the
vice president Of the other. She is on
the spot all the time in a privste car
which is the center of the fray. The
engineer wins her, as he should. and
also wins the fight.

On The League |

Crary Public Opinion: A few
years ago an organization under
the above name was started for
he alleged purpose OF purifying
the politics of the state, and,
Wrestling the organization from
the gang. The men at the head
of the movement are III. T.
Heigeson, of Milton, and j. A.
Sorley. Of Grand Forks, who
volunteer to lead the children
OF Israel out of the Egyptian
darkness. The Opinion has yeey
little faith in this movement
and believes it ifl-timed and has
a tendency to make nationality
an issue, which is entirely out
of place in this American govern
raent. This country is the home
and refuge of all nationalties,.
but these people should, at an
early date after their arrival on
Americas hospiJable shores, alb
sorb American ideas, customs,
language. and patriotism. This
country cannot afford to hava5
little Germany, a little Norway
or d little France grow up within
Its borders. The Opinion believes
the leaders of this Scandinavian
League are sore because they
have not been invited to take
an active part inside the organ
izagion Of the party. They should
drop the name Z Scande denaVian'
because a large number OF these
people will not vote or be led
because Of a name or a race
prejudice. H the present gang
in power is so negligent Of the
rights Of the people as to mis-
manage the trust reposed in
them, the people, irrespective
OF nationality or prejudices, will
find a way to make a change and
better conditions.
