.OlD EISRNlRKEI FOR
ENTERTAINING HEtl

Editor Evening Bulletin !:
see Secretary M0tt-Smith is calling
20 meeting to discuss plans for the
entertainment of the yavy boys ana
invites suggestions. Yesterday ! was
down past the old fishmarket, and 1t
occurred to me that Il grand place OF
entertainment could be made out OF
that big building.
would suggest that Uf this shed
Is availableD It ne made into place
of recreation. would fence 1t all
round except on the maika side with
wire netting: | would board up the
maulla side to keep out the wind ana
dust. For the interior arrangements
7 would nave on the makai side an
psphalt tennis court, along the Eva
side a bowling alley, on the mauka
side. where. the board fence would
provide shelter, | would have several
billiard and baEatello tables. ! would
build several booths in convenient
corners. where soft drinks, cohee
light refreshments, fruits, and can
dies could be sold. Around about
near these booths / would have nr-
mcrous tables and chairs and good,
substantial pot plants, making an in
yitlng resting-place. The building
should be well Illuminated so that
Games could be played at night.
would have a quintet club to play at
ternoons and evenings. would let
the booths to respectable caterers
who would charge fair but not eX'
,ortionate prices for refreshments.
would make small charges for the
Use of the courts, tables and bowls
| think such n place would he very
popular with the boys. The market
is in a fine position for an arcade oil
this kind. No one near to be dis
turbed by noisy merriment. Being
near the dock, it would attract the
boys before they got into the town
where less desirable resorts abound
think this arcade would keep the
boys out of scrapes and save the town
from a good deal OF rowdyism. Such
place, If properly managed, should
repay all expenses Of equipment and
provide Il surplus for other enter
tainments.
would further suggest that an
appropriate name for this place nj
entertainment be The Naval Ar
cadc."

City May Lose Land.

That the city of Independence, Flea
nor Black and William Black are not
entitled to a certain piece Of property
In that vicinity is alleged in a COM
plaint filed in the circuit court Satur-
day by executors of the Tilmon Ford
estate. The plaintiffs are W. M.
Kaiser and Angle L. Warren. 1t is
alleged that @. H. Idleman first owned
the land and gave mortgage to Til
mon Ford for the consideration OF
$4,000. 1t is now claimed the note for
the mortgage has never been paid as
we'll as a large sum Of interest, but
nevertheless Idleman disposed OF the
property to Eleanor Black, who in
turn sold to William Black, and that
later a quit claim deed was given to
the city OF Independence for portion
of the land to be used as a pipe line
for a watering trough. Now the exec
utors OF the Ford estate desire to have
all three titles to the property declared
invalid in favor of the estate as holder
of the mortgage.-Salem Statesman.
