 Manager Hollis M Newsome of East Lake park plans to have the lake thoroughly dredged and a large quan- tity of sand dumped in on the side opposite from the park proper. The lake will be deepened if necessary and everything but surf and sharks will be provided to give the thing a business like appearance.
 It is felt to be a somewhat big undertaking, and that the people of Birmingham will have something en- tirely new and novel to which to ac- custom themselves. The management Is going to do the thing in the best possible style, however, and it is be- heved the bathing beach will come tc be one of the most popular features o the park.
 Other amusement devices at the parl are all in excellent condition and vii be operated throughout the season. / socn be completed. It is billed as a req Coney Island attraction and is likely tc make strong bid for public favor.

The Recess Club

From the New York Herald
 Now comes the Recess club, which rep resents the newest phase in the social life of New York.
 It is a monday luncheon club for lower Manhattan, composed of busy men of affairs, bankers, brokers and financiers, who are to talk nothing of the mart when they meet In the precincts of this novel organization.
 An oasis of rest in a desert of tur- moil is to be the Recess. The same ideals will obtain theer as in the exclusive social clubs of Fifth avenue. of which, indeed, it vii be reflex, for its mem- bers are connected with many of the conservative organizations of the upper city. The membership will probably not exceed 300.
 First of all to be blacklisted by the founders was MT. A. Good Proposition. His name is slangy and his methods wear isome.
 Hello old man. he generally begins. Thought I would find you at luncheon here. Galena preferred going up; ore as- says eighty and all that. Let you in on a good thing. Now say the word."
 Recess means marbles, tops, laughter and good cheer. Business cares, talk of shop and all disturbing elements are to be checked in the coat room. It is per- missible to bring hobbies.

Time to Fight Flies

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The Age-Herald has always indorsed any movement looking to the welfare and health of the public.
 Fly time Is here. We are forcibly and unpleasantly reminded of the fact when- ever we go into a downtown drug store or soft drink stand for lunch. The law requiring meat markets and restaurants to be screened is a good one. Measures should also be taken to compel all places of business serving lunches and soft drinks to be screened, and the present sanitary laws should be so amended with out delay. A. B. WHITE.

COW|CHE ROUTE
LIKED BY MANY
Property Owners in Valley Are
Not United in Their Desire
for Location Further South
FEAR THAT AGITATION
MAY RESULT IN DELAYS
Line Is Now the Most Direct
Route From North Yakima to
the Teton Country That 1t Is
Possible to Construct

Railroad construction into the Cow
iche will proceed along the route al
ready proposed, such changes as are
made being only those which the phys
ical conditions will necessitate. 1t
appears to be the opinion of a large
number of those interested in the con-
struction of a steam line into the Cow
iChe that the route now outlined is
as good as can be obtained and per-
haps the best, when future develop
ment Is taken into consideration.
There is a difference of opinion on the
question among Cowiche property
owners. some of them, as previously
suggested, seeking to have the line
make more of swing toward the
south fork and the present store.
Others like the present route and still
others, who have no choice, take the
view that they will interpose no OBJ
lection because the Cowiche valley is
SO much in need of steam uansporta-
ton that they are prepared to take
whatever they get and whatever they
get will be SO much superior to the
conditions that have existed that it
will be "A great thing for them.
some Like Inc tSUutt
The Tieton Improvement associa-
ton. composed of Cowiche property
owners, has had several meetings in
which the railroad development, along
with other matters, has been consid-
cred and it was reported to the Herald
Wednesday that the route selected for
the Donald line is satisfactory. The
present survey is the most direct route,
they say, between North Yakima and
that part of the Tieton and that any
other must be considerably longer.
They fear, if an agitation results, that
there will be delays and they think,
some of them, that they are fortunate
to get a railroad at this time instead
of having to wait another three years
or so as would be the case if the cap
italists back of the railway plan were
not prepared to do little pioneering.
VIII BE IL Stub Road
The Cowiche railway will be Il stub
line. There is no possibility of build
ing farther into the North Fork, or
into the South Fork or in any other
direction. The railway will enter a
valley which is destined to be a con
siderable producer but it will be al
ways a freight feeder and no trunk or
main line.
The construction work of the line
through the Cowiche canyon will be
expensive as it is understood to be
the intention of the railway company
to straighten the course of the creek
through the canyon and by throwing
up material ON the banks make an eff
fort to keep the water in direct
channel and thus prevent floods such
as have occurred in past seasons.
