CAPT. GILMAN'S PLAN.

IdcI lHdI the crossing is OILen DOCK
AIDED by freight trains. Several BUSH
ness men and others have said that
some plan should be suggested to
prevent such condition.
The blockades have often caused
much delay to the chemical engine
and hose cart from station No. 1 in
times of fire.
Capt. H. n. Gilman of station No. 1,
thinks that an overhead driveway
which would pass over the tracks
should be built or that a subway UNI
der the tracks should be constructed.
Il don't know how practical this
undertaking would be- said Mr.. Gill
man, but anyway 1 think something
should be done to prevent the block
AIDES which take place occasionally
These will be more frequent, 1 sus-
pect when the new road is completed
north through Onaga, and connec-
lions are thus made between Kansas
City and the coast via Cheyenne. Then
more trains will be run over the road
and more blockades will result if
something is not done to prevent

at the park this summer. The con-
certs will be held every Thursday
evening at o'clock and on Sundays
/ at 3 p. m. and p. m. Admission will
be free. A couple of such concerts
have been given and have attracted
many visitors to the park.

the addition of four high speed fans
which have just been installed an6
make it Qiterally) a very breezy
place.
