THE PRESENT STATUS
OF THE PARK QUESTION
The Ladies' Auxiliary Requires
Funds for Completing
Work Planned.

During the entire summer there
has been one spot on our main bnsi-
ness street to which all have looked
with pride and pleasure, the park
opposite the First National bank.
The lawn has been well kept and the
rose beds have continued mass OF
blooms. No one realized before the
work was completed what it would
mean to our city, and the thoughtful
and progressive Of our citizens are
wondering why similar transforma-
tion has not been wrought on
the other unsightly corners.
We doubt if any one realizes the
expense attached to this work. That
there may be better understanding,
we have secured from the treasurer
of the Ladies' Auxiliary a statement
of the money already expended by
the civic Improvement committee.
This includes the parks on both
sides of the track and Sixth street,
and expense OF maintenance from
June. 1909, to September 1, 1910.
Labor, loan and teaming $57S.49
Shrubbery ................-... 229.12
Water ................. 1910
Water pipes and supplies. 13O.15
Total $1,037.46
After the payment Of the bills
that have accumulated during the
summer from the maintenance Of the
park, there will be practically moth
ing left in the treasury. "Only
twelve cents, and the northwest park
to be completed before fair time" as
one member plaintively stated.
To complete this northwest cor
ner will require something in the
neighborhood of $3.50. It will COM
prise features that will make our
parks exceptionally unique and at
tractive.
In justice to the ladies it should
be said they had no expectation of
carrying over the park this summer.
That was an expense they had not
anticipated, but it was impossible to
make the necessary arrangements
for disposing of it before now. They
have shouldered the expense and
responsibility at considerable cost
rather than see it neglected It is
this which has so depleted the treas
ury.
The south side park they can do
nothing with until the old depot
has been removed and the ground
filled in. Then that tract extending
from the site of the old depot to
the new, a. distance of $50 feet,

BRIGHT IRRIGATION OUTLOOK

II will be noticed In another col

order the receiver OF the Golden
Drift Mining company to issue certi-
ficates OF Indebtedness to re-

long time, as II insures irrigation for
next year. This comes to us at n
time when there was in the public
mind what seemed TO he uncertainty
as to irrigation next year II has
been felt that Williams and Craw,

Savage Rapids dam and II they were

WHITE WOMAN IS
NEGROES VICTIM

Little Rock, Oct. 20. Missis-
sippi Voteau, negro employee
in Kempner's theater, was ar
rested at l o'clock this (Satur-
day. morning by Constable w.
A. Jones and his deputies, and
now lies in the county Jail on
charge of having assaulted Mrs.

fore his victim, who positively
Identified him as the man who
had choked her and threatened
her into submission and then as
saulted her.
Mrs. Miller stated to the Of
ficers that the negro, who has a
room in the tn eater, had been
trying to get her in his power
fer a week or more by telling
her that the manager of the
theater had a position for her,
and otherwise attempting to en-
tice her into the building. Last
night he came to her home, say
ing that he was from the mana
ger and had been sent to bring
her to the theater. She follow
ed him to the stage and was
directed into a room behind the
scenes, where she was told the
manager awaited her. the negro
following. When Mrs. Miller
saw that no one save them selves
was in the room, she turned tC
the negro, demanding to see the
manager.
He's coming now," said the
negro, making pretense OF
calling someone from the stage.
No one came, and as the woman,
becoming frightened, attempted
to leave the room, the. negro
sprang up. locked the door and
/ turned off the lights. He had
taken her 70 his sleeping room in
an ISOLATED part OF the building.
Weeping with shame and
fright, the woman was allowed
to return home. after being
threatened with the most dia-
/ boiical death if she told anyone.
She immediately informed the
landlord of her boarding house,
who in turn at once reported the
matter to constable Jones.

several extra men and surround
ed the theater. There the negro
was reported to have been seen
recently in the building, and
after waiting for him to have
time to get in his room, they
began the search. Manager
Ybanz of the theater was IN
formed, and personally conduct
ed the searching party through
the building. After every room
in the building had been search
ed, the man was found in a
small dressing room, where mad
locked himself in and hidden
beneath some of the properties.
The door was broken in and
he was dragged forth. His first
words were: Il didn't do it.
After being taken before Mrs.
Miller and identified he WAS
brought to Constable Jones Of
flee on West Markham street,
from whence Justice Meisner,
WHO was sum moned to the office,
committed I1im to the county
jail to await trial.
The negro confesses to have
taken the woman into his room,
but denies the assault and sticks
stub} ornly to his story. He says
that some white men had cotton
him to get the woman into the
theater, bnt no white men had
been seen in the vicinity at the
time of the deed.
The victim is a pretty little
woman, about 25 years of age.
She, with her husband, have not
been in the city long. The lat
ter is second cook at the Hotel

GUS and still badly frightened by

SANTA FE ORDERS
 SURVEY FOR NEW LINE

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 30. - Realizing the great importance of traversing that part of Arizona des- tined to become the richest placer country in the entire Southwest, if not the continent, the Santa Fe has ordered its civil engineers into the field to survey a line from Parker to the North Star mine, recently ae- quired by the Guggenheims. This line will pass through the old La Paz mining district, being therefore tributary to all the country lying on the Arizona side of the Colorado river between Parker and the North Star mine and will eventually make connection with the Southern Pacific at Yuma.
 O. NJ Grimsley, president of the New La Paz Gold Mining company, wno returned yesterday from the located four miles from the old town of Ehrenburg, is author ity for the statement that the Santa Fe has already its engineers in the field, making the survey of this railroad. As MT. Grimsley is a min ing man of experience in the field,
