plstsd to ssrpy Mills
REEVES TALK OF PLEASURE RESORT
Parties whs Are Interested I'm Race
Track say They VIII Complete
It and the Lagoon Before
Cold Wather sets In.

The grading Of the interurban road has
progressed in satisfactory manner and is
now nearly complete as far as Sarpy Mills
The contract for grading a second section
Of the road. including the line between
sarpy Mills and Springfield, has been
let and the grading of that division will be
pushed as rapidly as possible. 1t is the
policy of the company to let the contract
by sections rather than as a whole. Now
that the line to Sarpy Minis has been prac-
tically made certain, talk has revived con-
corning the pleasure resort Of Dream City
A big contract for constructing a race
track and lagoon, as well as a pavilion to
accommodate 5000 spectators, has been let
to owen Bros. of Omaha. The building
of the track and lagoon, about which it
circles, is under the promotion of James
OLeary, Rod Laverty and Alderman
Noonan Of Chicago. This track is to be one
Of the attractions of Dream City. The
la COON, which lie to lie within the oval
of the race course, is novelty. There Is
a natural pond there. but this is to be
wdened and deepened. In the winter
season It is calculated that enough ice can
he easily cut from Its surface to pay all
the expense Of the course even were there
will be known as Overland park. The
location is ideal. and to be exact lies on
the old Wier farm. John Russell, one
of the most experienced race course men
In the country is to supervise the work.
He and Alderman Noonan have been in
the city during the last week looking after
matters relating to the contract. People
who have been inclined to laugh at the
mention OF Dream City may be surprised
before another year passes at the attrac-
lions of the place. The race course and
lagoon will be completed this fall that
ice may be harvested during the winter
and that the track may have a chance to
settle before the racing season begins next
spring. Real estate men of South Omaha
who are interested in that direction say
that property has become active since
actual grading began.

Gently torn down its old barn Just north of
