FORT WAYNE BOASTS THE BIG
GEST AND BEST PLAY SPOT
IN INDIANA-CovERS 7
ACRES.
HAS FINE EQUIPMENT
Named In Honor Of Mr. And Mrs
Olaf N. Guldin, Who Have Been
the Promoters.

10 the inspiring accompaniment of
music, addresses, athletic drills, gym
nastlc exercises, and the merry romp-
ing of thousands of boys and girls,
Fort Wayne opened its newest, and
best equipped public playground last
month MAY 2O). This Playground
is situated aling the ST. Mary's river
between Ross and Van Buren, SIR, cts.
1t Is called "The Mr.. and Mrs.
Guldlin Playground" In the dedica-
tion ceremonies the committee in
charge had the following to say in
reference to those for whom the big
play spot was named.
We are fortunate in having among
the disfranchised half of our citizen
ship lady who is widely known, he
country over, for her activity and
usefulness in the National Federat-
ion of Womens Clubs. At home. We
know of her as being among the for
most In every movement for the
betterment of the social and civic
conditions in Fl. Wayne. She was
the first of any of us to see the
Importance of a playground move
ment and to commence to urge it up
on an Indifferent and sceptical
public.
AT first she encountered alopathic
doses OF sneers and ridicale and not
even homeopathic doses of sympathy
But she persisted in her work until
she compelled attention and brought
about conviction, and the work was
started.
Our community is equally fortu-
nate IN having as one of its formost
citizens a gentleman who does things
and who early became intensely
interested in this work. and by his
experience, ability and skill has
easily saved the association $1,000.
He has shouldered the responsib lily
of becoming accountable for all the
money expended. and will be. by all
odds, the heaviest contributor of us
all when these bills are finally paid.
Nov. in the naming of these
grounds we want to honor both
this lady and this gentleman and
fortunately for our purpose they are
already engaged in doing team
work. The name suggested By
your committee is Tile Mr.. and Mrs.
Guldlin Fairgrounds
The Fort Wayne people have al
ready expended $4,000 on this one
playground which is now the finest
in the state. Their purpose in this
expenditure is voiced In the address
of Mr.. Guldlin that our children
shall have their chance for healthy
sport and frolic so essential to the
physical development which makes
vigorous boys and girls, who will
grow into men and women with good
rich. red blood
The playground consists of seven
acres, with three acres more avail
ablet. 1t has a babies playground
boys playground, gills playground
and besides these, tennis courts
ball grounds, croquet grounds run
ming courses, etc. There is a good
supply of gymnastic equipment also
at hand. Supervisors are in cfaxge
and it is arranged that each child
shall have his turn and fair show
in the use of the grounds and appli
ances.
Mrs. Guldlin lectured in Plymouth
Nov. 8 of last year and will he
pleasantly remembered by her many
friends In this city.

GAS WILL BE OFF
 THIS AFTERNOON
BiSbee Improvement Company Will Make Some NeceS-
 sary Repairs

The attention of all users of gas is called to the notice of the Bisbee Improvement company printed in this issue of The Review. According to that notice the local gas supply will be of during this afternoon. The reasons given for this cutting of of the gas are that tle company wishes 10 do some work on the mains and remove the trouble that has caused the gas supply to fail twice during the last few weeks
 As stated in The Review few days ago Mir. HornbergeT, an expert gas engineer, is at present investigating the condition of the local gas plant and system and win soon make a re port 10 the Bisbee Improvement company telling them what changes and improvements must be made in their system 10 put the gas service on a satisfactory basis, but the work to be done today is in the nature of an emergency measure, and is to remove the danger Of stop in the gas sup ply, such as has occurred several times in the past.
 The company has arranged to do this work on Sunday afternoon, with the idea that it would cause less in- convenience to it's patrons then than at any ether time during the week. All users of gas should be particular ly careful 10 see that no jets or burn CTS are left open when the gas is turned of, so as to avoid danger from escaping gas when the supply is turned off late in the afternoon.

Chicago Girl Pours Out Lone some Story-WantS an
 Arizona Husband

T wish l had stayed means Q Chi cago girl who spent several years in the southwest. She pours out her story of lonliness to Laura Jean Lib by (not connected with Libby, Me Nees & Libby) and asks what she is to do. To date Laura hasn't given diagnosis Of the case, but the case seems simple enough to a horse doc tor. Come back to Arizona.
 It may seem a blunt way to put it., but the simple fact is that Hilda, the girl in the case, wants a man. Not something with two legs and no feath- CTS. but a real live one, something like the line of swell matrimonial goods carried by Arizona. It is not the first time that it has come to public no- tice that eastern girls are pin ing their young lives away for real live Arizonan.
 A Touching Letter.
 The following touching letter ad- dressed to Laura was printed in the Chicago Tribune;
 Dear Miss Libby: ] am 8 and would like to have someone to love, because l am so lonesome. Do you know of any nice young man that would want to be loved by nice girl like me? I have been alone for such a long time that 1 am not particular about his good locks and so forth. But he must be able to make a good living for two, as I certainly would not care to go to work after l am once married. l think the home is wom- ans place. and I don't take any stock in suffragists. would prefer some one living in Arizona or New Mexico l left the southwest three years ago after the death of my parents, and wish l had stayed there. as it is the only place l am at home in.

 TOMORROW NIGHT
EIocutionist Makes Big Hit Everywhere Full House Ex-
 peeted at Y. M, c. A.

The people of Bisbee tomorrow will have an opportunity to attend what other cities have pronounced one oi the best entertainments that has come to them when Prof. W. J. Cole, elocutionist, will appear at the Y. NJ. C. 4. The association has secured an orchestra for the evening and it is believed that all who attend will have a good time.
 Secretary Davis has received the following from the secretary of the Y M c. A. In a nearby city:
 Mir. Cole was with us the other night and gave a very pleasing enter tainment. Unfortunately the night was bad and for that reason the crowd wasn't as large as expected. How ever, the attendants were much pleas ed and t was a pleasure to have Mir. Cole with us.
 This is not far the purpnse of mak- ing any money. The admission is only 25 cents. which will hardly pay the expense. even with a good house.

THE NEW EDITOR" 4
 FEATURE AT ROYAL

The motion picture offering for to- night at the Royal theater includes the filmed story, "The New Editor" a satire on newspapers and politics, full of legitimate comedy and incidents which are entirely probable
 The story deals with the career of a young newspaper reporter who be- comes editor of small town sheet. In a novel comedy incident he meets and falls in love with the daughter of the president of the local Woman s Suffrage club. which Is in a fight with a private company for municipal own ershiD of the Waterw0rks.
 This paves the way for a fine story and nothing is lost in the telling. IL gives a good exposition of the way some political deals are managed and there is plenty of life throughout.
 In the educational film. Water Bee tie and It's Young we have 6 motion picture which is a study in natural his- tory and entomology.
 No film could be more impressive. more instructive or remarkable. It pictures the habits of a fierce water bug ard shows it's young in life and death struggles with their prey.
 The colored film, "A Russian Gypsy,' tells a tragic story Of a Russian peas ant which suggests a good plot for an opera.

SLOAN PUTS T
 UP ID COUNTY.
Letter Received Indicates That No Concessions Win Be Made in Road
 Controversy
HOW THE MONEY IS SPENT

The letter written by Governor Sloan to the board of supervisors of Cochise county seems to put the next move up to the supervisors. The board took the stand that it would not levy more than , per cent on $100 for road building purposes until the board was assured that 50 per cent of the levy would be spent in this county.
 The governors letter. replying to the demand. ignores that point alto. geiher. Following is the letter in full: ITO the Honorable,
 he Board of Supervisors of Co
 chise county,
 Tombstone, Arizona.
 "Gentlemen:
 We have the honor to inform you that the territorial board of control, under and by virtue of the laR oi 1909, as continued in full force and effect by the congressional act ap- proved February IS, 1911, has ordered a tax of twenty-five cents on the hun. dred dollars to be levied in Cochise county for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1912.
 Tn this connection we desire to state for your information that there has been paid by Cochise county into the territorial road fund from the levy of fifteen cents made in 1909 and the levy of twenty-five cents made in 1910, the total sum of s71.509.71. There has been expended from the territorial road fund for surveying and engineering in Coehise county the sum of S4.615.75. There has been ex- pended up to August 1st in the con structior of the Douglas-Bisb divi- sion of the north and south highway the sum of S39, ,961 4S. There remains yet to be expended under thq con tract, in the completion of the twen- ty-two miles of road between Doug las and Bisbte. the further sum of S15,000, which will make the total cost of the road, when completed, the sum of S55,965.4S. This grand total of the expenditures in Cochise eo,-.aty from the territorial road fund raised by Ieyies made in 1909 and 1910 will. therefore, be s60,5T7.23. It will be seen that when the present and ex- isting contract is fully completed there will be expended from the ter ritorial road fund approximately s5 per cent of the amount paid in by Co ehise county for the two fiscal years mentioned It will be seen that Go chise county will then have, out of approximately enc hundred miles of
Bisbee daily review., 1911-08-20

completed highway constructed from the moneys raised by tax leyies in 1909 and 1910 a total Of twenty-two miles. or approximately twenty per cent of the whole. In addition to this 1t is proper to say that these twenty two miles will constitute the only part of the territorial highway, constructed and under construction, which will be graded, surfaced and oiled according to the highest standard of road con struction embraced within the plans adopted by the board of control
 II is proper 10 say also. in this connection. that the plans of the board contemplate 8 continuance of road building in cochise county dur ing the fiscal year ending June 90. 1912. which work will be begun and prosecuted as soon as funds are avail able to that end.
 Very respectfully.
 THE BOARD OF CONTROL.
 By Richard E. Sloan, Governor"
 What win Be Spent.
 According to printed figures, a to- tai of S4l1. .292 will have been spent on the territorial highway when work  under construction is completed. Of this amount s60,o7723, will, accord ing to the governors letter, have been spent on the highway in this county when the present work is completed, leaving q balance of s250, 704.77 that will have been spent in other parts of the territory According to these figures the 22 miles of work in this county have cost at the rate of s2,- 753.51 per mile and the ninety-three miles in other parts of the territory will have cost SI.92i.55 per mile.
 Of the 22 miles in this county. however. according to a county off cial. nine were already constructed by the county and but little work was necessary to put it in first class con dition. This section of the highway between Douglas and the Forest sta ton, cost the county S9,00o.
 What action will be taken by the supervisors is not known but 1t has been hinted that. to get the matter into the courts, the supervisors will make the maximum assessment of 25 cents on the S100 and committee of citizens will ask for an injunction to prevent the collection of the levy. The matter will take this course, it Is said.
