1T was nearing noon, when sudden

with me in the direction of the sounl

Chester A. Consdon Gives City Plans
for 8eautifying the Park
Ground,

Congdon park will soon be one of
the most beautiful spots at the head
Of the lakes.
Chester A. Congdon, who donated
the property to the city Of Duluth for
park purposes, now gives the city
plans for identifying the grounds. The
plans were made at his expense by
CHARLES w. Leavitt, a New York land
scape artist, who supervised the land
scape work about Mr.. Congdon's pri-
waite grounds, surrounding his beauti-
ful home on London road.
The park board has charge of the
plans an dthe work will be done as
fast as the city gets to it.
In fact the plans call for only the
use of the natural beauty of the park,
which run son both sides of Tischer's
creek from London Road to the old
Vermilion trail.
The creek course through gorges,
lined with blood red rocks and pines,
over cataracts of the same kind of
stone.r The trees in the little, pre-
serve are the finest in this vicinity.

In the northwest
Nothing but the finest grade Of bar
ley malt and hops are used, and this

the choicest Of American brews.
The immense popularity of this COM
pany''s beer, with all classes, and the
almost unprecedented financial sue
cess Of the institution is itself an evil
dence that the product is of the best

to business methods and dealings to
the highest attainable standards.
They have been remarkably sue
cessful In building up a splendid pat
ronage among the better class Of sa-
looms as we'll as hundreds Of families
throughout the city who appreciate the
fact that in using a malt beverage
of any kind, it is wise to purchase
only the best.
