COMING EVENTS

George AIDES comedy, "The College
Widow" which comes to the Metro
politan for four nights and matinee,
commencing Sunday evening, Sept. %,
enjoys a unique distinction among the
present day stage successes. It was
not built to appeal in particular to
faddists or class, but to the average
an inherent love of honest sport. An
auditor Of The College Widow" is
just as certain to become a partizan of
one or the other of the mimic football
teams in the play as are the people Of
AIDE imagination.

The Alaska Club has recently been presented with interesting and sugges- tive relics of the Russian regime in AL aska in the past, which were discovered last year at Cook inlet, brought here and given to the club by T. B. Corey, of 1923 Colum bia street. The collection consists of tools of rude workmanship, of primitive mortars and Of iron balls that at one time in the dark days dangled from the chains that encircled the legs of convict laborers. The dis covery was made near the place that is now recognized by the name of Fort Graham, and Mir. Corey believes that all the present indications there point to it's having been, some 100 years ago, an important penal settlement. The ruins of the "bun pen" are still dis tinguishable, and the grewsome sug- gestiveness is augmented by the pres ence of human bones. The con7icts had evidently been employed operating coal mines, which, according to local Indian traditions, must have been ez- extensively worked, although the i'm plements employed were of the crudest workmanship. The tools given to the Alaska Club are all hand made, even to the small nails, which have all reached an advanced stage of rusty decay. The ax heads, gravel picks and prospecting picks are not very dissimilar to those now in use.--P.L

Very few people would believe that there is a farm in Alaska worth 930,oOO The Yukon Valley News reports the sale of farm at Baker Creek Hot Springs for that amount. It was owned by Dad Karshner, and sold to Frank Manley, a Fairbanks mining man. The warmth from the subterranean springs causes vegetation to grow at a marvellous rate while the surrounding country IS still frostbound, and the practical results of summer are evident four months long CT than in other localities of the dis trict. Nearly slO,0oOworth of vegeta- bles were sold from it last year.

by the railroad company. Merrill
about our size has such a depot, Why
do we have to have the unsightly
places we see about the various rail-
way stations in town? Because we
cannot show them any reason why we
do the same ourselves most con-
vincing argument. When Grand
Rapids can point with pride to one or
more neatly kept parks, then we can
compel the railroad companies enter
ing the city to do as well by us as
they do in other places.
We also notice the announcement
Of Mr.. johnson to trim trees. A very
good idea and one that ought to be
adopted by the city council to ask
each property owner to trim the trees
to height at least ten feet from the
sidewalks, so that people walking
along ould not have their umbrellas
and hats torn, as is now the case on
several streets.
The matter of passing an ordinance
against splitting on the sidewalks and
in public halls and stairways, which
has been agitated by the City Fedora
tion is more important one TOWARD
a cleaner and more healthfuI city
We hope to have many improvements
in the near future, but it needs the
aid of every citizen in town as it can
not be done by few.

slightly water-trough removed, a band
stand built, shrubbery and trees set
out, and comfortable benches or seats
provided, will make an ideal spot and
a little park the city will be proud OF.
But we need one on the west side as
well, and it would also be very good
idea to grade the banks of the river
and prevent any more small buildings
from being erected, and reserve the
bank south of the bridge as city I'M
provement and small park in way,
though really the property Is personal.
The consent of the property holder
would have to be obtained before
making any further move. Now Is
the time to think Of these things
while the property is cheap and the
town growing. In the spring the city
Federation of Clubs hope to make an
early start In this direction, but dur
ing the winter months while 1t is i'm
possible to do anything in the line OF
identifying outside, the members
of the city council should talk the
matter over and obtain some options
on suitable property.
| San Antonio, in Texas, Is fair ex-
ample of what small parks mean to a
city. Every few blocks one sees
possibly square block laid out as a
park. One place called Travis park
has a monument of soldier in the
center erected to Col. Travis, and his
brave comrods, who fell at the
siege of the Alamo in 1886, during the
battle between the Mexicans and the
Texans in their struggle for their indie
pendence. Travis park is charming
spot in the center of the city, beauti-
fully laid out in flower beds, shrub
berry, and is one block square with seats
along the walks. Here can always be
seen "old men and maidens' resting
and enjoying the pleasure of the
flowers and the company OF their
friends as they sit and chat here.
Most towns of our size have at
tractive railway stations, small plots
of ground around the depot nicely
laid out, and are kept neat and orderly

VALUATIONS ARE FIXED
The Study of the Figures Dis
closed in Boards Report is
Interesting.

The total valuation Of all the tax
able property in Wood County
according to the report of the board
of equalization is sl4,O27, OOO This is
an increase of only 100000 for the
whole county, $685. 900 of which comes
out of this city.
The total real estate valuation this
year is sI1, 472,OOO or an excess of
$4,000 over last year. The personal
property valuation shows a gain over
last year of 1924, 900, the total personal
valuation this year being 81, $685. 900.
The following table will show a
comparison of the valuation last year
and that fixed for this year. 1t will
be noted that there was an increase
in a number of places while there
vas decrease in many others. The
bulk of the increase comes from the
cities of Marshfield and Grand Rapids.

SMALL PARKS ARE
RECOMMENDED
The Officials and Citizens Should
Join in a United Effort to Make
Grand Rapids Beautiful.

There is nothing the town needs
more than small parks. Milwaukee is
agitating the subject now, and each
ward is trying to have small park,
but the time to think of these things,
and real necessities, is when place
is small and property can be bought
for nominal sum.
Some years ago one Of our prom
inent citizens offered to give the
sum of So, 900 If the city would do the
same, for the purpose of buying a
suitable site for city park. At that
time the city fathers thought they
could not afford to indulge in any
such extravaganza and so the subject
was dropped and the kindly offer re-
fused. Now, we come to the point
where our little growing town has no
place where the tired pedestrian may
find seat on which to rest, or the
tired mother pushing her baby car
rage may sit down for a time and
rest. Surely she needs it after her
household duties are over ana she
takes her little child out for an air
ing. If there were small parks. two
or three on each side of the river. or
even one, it would afford the pleasure
and comfort to the weary. There
could be laid out in walks, with
benches placed at intervals, and one
of them might have an attractive band
stand on either side of the river,
where we could listen to the concert
of the city band, and be off of the
street and out of danger of horses
which are frequently frightened by
music.
