Spot in Long View Park Turned
Over to Organiza-
tions.
DECORATE WITH EMBLEMs
Mayor Proposes to Proceed With Drive
way Along the River Front
Police in Daily Drill.

Mayor McCaskrin announces that
on a hillside slOping toward Twelfth
avenue in Longview park there will
be laid out a beautiful oval for lodge
display. A design is now being per
fected by landscape artist. which will
be completed by the first of next week
The plan is To have the beds filled with
conforming as nearly as possible to
the adopted colors of each lodge.
1t is proposed that the emblems of
the various lodges be outlined by plants
and each order desiring to have a place
there should communicate with the
mayor with reference to it.
This can be made a beautiful spot
if the several lodges will take interest
in the display" said the mayor. 1T is
not uncommon, and yet there is moth
ing more attractive to park than such
an addition"
The artistic gateway at the entrance
on Twelfth avenue and Seventeenth
street is now well under way and will
soon be completed. Excavation will be
commenced Immediately for the com
pletion of the lake near this corner.
River Front Drive.
Mayor McCaSkrin has also been in
vestigating the possibilities for a river
front drive extending from Seventeenth
street to the Crescent bridge. The
first thing he has to do is to make
survey and establish the points for
harbor line. This must be done through
the secretary of war. and a movement
in this direction is expected at the spe-
cial meeting of the city council. which
will be held Monday evening. The
storm drain question and the disposi-
tion of electric wires will also come be
fore the aldermen in that session.
Police ON Parade.
The policemen will have to learn To
drill. This is one of the mandates of
Mayor McCaskrin. Every man who
travels a beat and some of the others
were lined up last night on the pave
ment near the station and given a
workout under the command of the
mayor. who had the boys going some
before they got through.
A large number of spectators enioy-
ed the sight, which was considered
great exhibition. However. this was
the first time, and IL is probable that
the drills will improve as they become
more numerous. Jim Brinn, Sid Pear
son and Gus Kirsch seemed a little too
heavy for such light work, but with
few weeks work they will be as nimble
rs corporal Of the guard. Phil Mil
Ter can walk down the street alone
with as stately a bearing as a lieuten-
ant general. but when he gets to work
ing in such fast company he begins To
complain of his corns. But Phil has
only a few more days of it, so he will
get on easy.
