q calf should be starved. Give some
milk. and as soon as 1t Is old enough

some nice hay. Add also bit of
buckwheat shorts or not too coarse

Traction Company will Secure
Another Park on Its
Line.
May Extend to Lone Oak For
Inducements.
BIG DEAL IN REAL ESTATE.

What will go down as one of the
largest real estate deals closed In
Paducah for years is the sale of
Wallace Park by the Paducah Trac-
ton company to B7ack Owen and
Robert B. Phillips, the deeds for
which passed hands yesterday after
noon. The consideration for the
20 acres of suburban property
amounted to $4,000.
According to General Manager
II. b. Sewall of the Traction sys-
TEN, the deal has been pending sew
eral weeks. The sale was under
his personal direction.
Messrs. Owen and Phillips, who
recently formed partnership, will
plot on te property for residence
purposes, but active work will not
begin until the spring of 1911.
AS to the establishment of anoth-
er public park and amusement re-
sort, Mr.. Sewall said today he had
several desirable spots in view but
nothing definite has been done yet.
OF course te Traction company
intends to have another park" said
Mr.. Sewall, "and it will only be
matter of time until a deal is made
for outlying property"
One of the first questions to arise
following the sale of the park
grounds was that of an accessible
ball park. Mr.. Sewall. who is a
director of the Kitty league. said
that he thinks there will be no
trouble in leasing League park for
the next season, and fears for the
ball grounds were allayed by Mr..
Owen who said he and Mr.. Phillips
do not contemplate an immediate
Improvement of the property.
Wallace park has been in the
hands of the Paducah Traction
company since its organization. haN-
ing been taken over from the old
street railway company. It was
originally owned by Mr.. George G.
Wallace and the name of Wallace
park was given ii several years ago.
II was formerly known as LaBelle
park. The property is desirable as
residence sites. II consists of APP
proximately 20 acres. lying along
the Broadway road. On the prop
erty are located the golf links. the
base ball grounds. the artificial
lake, the Casino theatre and Chau-
tauqua grounds. The new owners
have not decided what steps to
take as to the disposition OF the
present buildings.
Mr.. Sewall said the company
might extend a line to Lone Oak IL
the proper inducements were made.
