| materially from what they were tWen-
ty years ago.. and splendid farm
houses, are characteristics of the
country adjacent to Washburn.
There is one farmer in that neigh
borhood who has been advertising
| his farm for sale and had it listed
| with local real estate men. And the
man has refused his own price so
! many times that the real estate men
agents have scratched his name off
their lists. They say he continues to

lands in that section of the country.
! Washburn is on the Missouri river
and is the headquarters of big packet
concerns whose business is big as
set to the town. Besides the edge"
| it gives the town in the matter of
i freight rates, the direct returns from
the business coming to the merchants
Of the city because of being river
point, is noticeable in the everyday
business.
Big freight steamers stop at Wash
burn to load cargoes destined for the
towns up and down the river and re-
turning, bring loads of freight that
are distributed up and down the 500
line and to points quite distant.
And with the unexcelled crop con-
ditions produced by the abundance
of rain which has been Washburn's
portion this season, there is reason
to believe that this years business
on the river will exceed that of all
former years.
And the river afforded an ideal spot
for a city park which the Commercial
club was quick to note, and advan-
tage was taken of the opportunity.
The city park is located in the east
ern part of the city and is located on
! the banks of the Missouri river; it

TO MAKE PARK OF PART
OF PARAMOUNT CEMETERY.
of Children's Section to
Be Used.

Plans have been approved by the
Paramount Cemetery Association for
the turning of a portion of the ceme-
terry into a public park, after the
scheme followed by the cemetery or
CARNATIONS in Europe.
The section of the grounds to be
made into a park is that adjacent to
South Twelfth street, where children
have been buried whose graves have
been left uncared for for a number of
years. Every effort has been made to
locate relatives of the children with
little or no success so far.
The plans call for lawns with trees
and shrubbery, which will in time make
a beautiful breathing place. The Of
ficers of the association realize that
eventually, when the cemetery is filled
and no more bodies will be allowed to
be buried there, and no one survive to
look after the graves, it may be turned
into a park, as is done in Euro
pean cities.
1t is the belief of the officers of the
association that fifty years from %
Paramount Cemetery will be about the
centre of Newark, and that ground for
parks will be very expensive, and their
plans for a public park will be carried
out.
