CITY PARK
A Move Made for the Estab.
lishment..


will be presented to the City Coun-
Gil at the meeting Tuesday evening
for the establishment of a park for
the city. The petition which is
being circulated and signed by ev-
eryone approached, reads as fol-
lows:
Ely, MINI. May IL, 1909.
To the Hon. Mayor
and City Council:
Gentlemen
We, the under signed citizens and
taxpayers of the City of Ely, rea-
lizing that Our immediate surround
ings are fast losing their identity
and that within few years the ma
tive forest will be a thing of the
past; feel that it will be incumbent
on the city to furnish a breathing
place, in other words, a place of re-
creation for its constantly growing
population and that this object
would be most fttingly furthered
by the establishment of a park.
1t is therefore the sense of the
undersigned to petition your hon
orable body to take active measures
for the establishment and maintain
ance of a public park, fully be1iev-
ing that the interests of all our
citizens will be furthered by the
establishment of such an institu-
ton.
We would suggest to. your hon
orable body, that park which
would prove an everlasting beauty
spot and credit to the city, could
be established on that piece of land
west of the water and light plant,
known as Crossman' IS Point. This
particular place enbodies natural
forest and scenic spots of both land
and water and could be made of
easy access to the people of this
city.
Hoping that this petition and
suggestion may meet with your
speedy consideration, we are,
Yours respectfully,
The suggestion offered in the pc
tition is a good one. The land in
question is about the Only park site
near enough to the city to make it
popular and is naturally adapted
for this purpose.
Covered with a fine growth of
small timber and located almost
within the city limits it would be
an ideal spot for a park site. Its
typography is one that is naturally
suited for place of recreation pro-
viding hills and valley and all en-
braced within a small area. Be-
sides this, it is surrounded on three
sides by water several places on its
shores being particularly adapted
for bathing purposes.
1t is the opinion of those who
circulated the petition that the
ground could be secured very rea-
sonably, barring the mineral rights,
and that at small expense road
could be constructed to the place
and the park placed in fair shape.
There is one thing certain that it is
up to the city, and all cities for that
matter, to furnish a place of recrea-
ton for its citizens and as this fur
nishes the only natural advantages
in this vicinity, it would be a wise
idea to see what can be done.
There is some work connected
with securing land for park pur-
poses outside the city limits and
several obstacles must be overcome.
The late session of the legislature
has made it possible to annex terri
tory to cities and towns extending
mile and a half and it is the opin-
ion that could the land be secured
either by purchase or lease, other
objections could easily be overcome.

the country was rather q series Of
feudal states than u true republic, and
life and property were safe only In n
few well marked localities. There was
no momcntary system, the revolution
was everywhere. Diaz changed that
all. lie bent the whole nation 10 his
will, weeded out the malcoutents with
an iron hand, welcomed the investment
Of capital from any country, and made
the country better governed than most.
At first he was repungant TO continued
hold upon the presidency, but after a
little saw that II was the only hope
of the country, 80 that his reign had
been that Of n dictator, with the nota
BILE exception that II has been an IN.
speakable blessing To the land. which
a dictator usually il not. Practically
everything that Mexico is, is due to
the wonderful foresight aud incompara.

with the spirit OF Diaz that there is no
danger In the passing Of the reins from
his hands. The government In built up
out Of the quarries of Lebanon, aud
there is nothing to fear, when the rule
passes into other hands. Mexico is not
only beginning to enter upon its great

man has builded a structure that will
not crumble with time.
