GRAND WATER PARK
IS DREAM OF
ATHLETES
New Aquatic Association Hopes
to Give City a Long
Needed Resort

To give San Francisco a great water
park, such as New York and Boston
boast, is the aim of the newly organized
Aquatic Improvement association, COM
posed of delegates from the leading
athletic organizations of this city and
suburban towns. which held it's first i'm
portant meeting last evening. C. M.
Farrell was chosen chairman and Will
liam L. Bush secretary. Both have long
been prominently identified with the
amateur aquatic game in San Francisco
and both are strong boosters for the
new project
1t is the plan of the association to Sc
cure the property at the foot of Van
Ness avenue for the proposed water
park. This land is practically useless
for other purposes, and it is an assured
fact that the city's water front will not
De extended to that point for MANY
years Realizing that now is their time
70 secure the site for the park, the men
who are behind the venture intend to
extend all their energies to attain the
desired end, and they see nothing hut
success before them
The plan is to have the property con-
demned and bought by the board of su
pervlsors and have the question put
forth as bond issue. On the face Of
II the project looks very reasonable and
feasible and stands a splendid chance to
win out by a popular vote. This done.
the matter of securing the necessary
FUNDS from the city for its Improvement
would be comparatively easy, and then
the city might boast a water park sec
ond to none in the world
The various athletic clubs and indi-
viduals behind this latest practical
scheme have their plans we'll out
lined, and thus far everything seems
to be in their favor. All the public Of
fcials who have been consulted express
themselves as ready to cooperate and
use their influence to further the end of
the association which will go right
ahead with the work.
"A large city like San Francisco is
sadly in need of a water park" said
finds thousands of men, women and
seeking recreation on the
water front which offers very poor ac-
commodation for their con- fort or
cost the city comparatively little.
Our plans would call for beautiful
green, q public mooring place, baths
grand stand and band pavilion. Thou
sands or people could find recreation
and amusement there the year around.
1t would appeal to the seaman as well
as to the lardsman, while it would be
q wonderful boon to all the followers
of aquatic pastimes, of which San Fran
see why there should be any opposition
to it,

State League Completes Deal
for It's Baseball Park i'm
Grove Street, Oakland

The State league will be a factor in
baseball this season, Notwithstanding
the many obstacles which the officials
Of the league have met with. The or
ganization is under fair way to start
the season in full swing about the end
Of March. The negotiations, exclusive
ly reported in The Call, for a baseball
site in Oakland at Grove and Fifty
seventh streets, back of Idora park,
were consummated yesterday and work
on the grandstand will start imme-
diately.

sion.

Seals season or two ago, has been
selected to manage the San Francisco
team.
Big Joe Nealon, the star first base
man. who covered the initial sack for
Pittsburg and who is considered one
of the greatest ball players California
has produced, is in great demand by
the managers of the Coast and State
leagues, but up to date Nealon has not
signed any contract to play. baseball
this season. He is to meet Cy Moreing
of the State league today to talk over
terms with the Stockton magnate.
Nealon has been offered a liberal SAL
airy TO play with the State league.
There are one or two points which
Nealon wants Moreing to concede, and
if they are properly adjusted the big
first baseman will undoubtedly become
an outlaw.
Big Ike Cooper. the right handed
twirler whom Danny Long secured
from the Dallas club, will be on the
letter from vacaville which reached
Long yesterday. and he said that he in
tended to be here during the early
part of next week. He has, been work
ing with his brother, who has fruit in
terests in Vacaville..

St Ignatius' college. He will take the
team down to Santa Clara today to
meet the players of the Santa Clara col

ton you'd be at the mercy of Cana
da for lumber
In December OF last year, Senator
Edwards OF the Canadian Parliament,
wrote to the NationalForestC onserva-
ton League Of this country, as fol-
lows:
II herewith enclose copy of the tele-
gram l sent Sir Wilfrid Laurier last
June after a large deputation of lum-
bermen had called upon him and our
Minister of Finance, begging for the
imposition of duty (tariff) on South
ern pine coming from the United
States, which was then, and for the
most of the time since, deluging our
Canadian markets, produced and sold
so cheaply that it has been impossi-
BILE for us to compete. 1t is hard Of
course for the moment on our lumber
producers; but 1t is a great benefit
to Canadian buyers and users of lum-
Der. If you Americans are foolish
enough to exhaust your forests not
only to supply your own wants but
ours also,our timber will grow and be-
come more valuable in the meantime,
which will result in great ultimate
profit 10 u.s."
The telegram referred to was an APP
peal to the Canadian Premier not to
permit a tariff upon lumber shipped
from the United States into Canada
for the reasons given.
The situation, therefore, is this:
American manufacturers can ship lum
Der into Canada and sell it cheaper
than Canada can manufacture and sell
it at home-lumber that is badly need
ed here, and that is exhausting our for
ests for the sole benefit of few mill
ing companies; but Canada cannot
ship lumber here because of the I'm
tied States tariff. If any tariff should
be removed, it would seem to be the
tariff on lumber. Enable the common
people to build comfortable homes
and at the same time save our rapidly
forests. Our Congress
ought to be as patriotic as the Cana
dian Parliament. They admitted a
tariff on lumber would be better for
their lumbermen, but cheap American
lumber was better for their people and
it saved the Canadian forests. Oh,
for a Congress of patriots rather than
of politicians; of statesmen instead
of pettifoggers quarreling over i'm
aginary personal insults!
