LYCEIJM
COURSE
Is Again Assured By The In
ion Tabernacle ASSoCia-
ton.
BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE.
Outline 0fPrObable Attractions
For The Coming
Season.

The Directors of the Union Taber-
nacle Association held a meeting
yesterday and decided to have
another Lyceum Course this season.
Messrs. Walker Wood and Ed j.
Duncan were nominated to act with
the Board representing their respec-
tive churches.
From the report of the Treasurer
it was shown that last seasons course
was a success. All expenses were
paid and about 5000 spent in improv-
ing and repairing the building. If
the sale of the tickets this season
will justify it, it is the intention of
the Board to put in Opera Chairs in
the main part of the building. This
is long felt want and it is hoped it
can be done.
The Lyceum Course is distinct
advantage to town of this size and
aside from getting more for your
money in the way of entertainment
than could be had from most any
other source (tbe Association owning
the building and being out of debit

uplift of the city and getting form

hard to buy with any amount of
money.
The Board believes that the course
this season will be the best yet Of

the Cambrian National Glee Singers

TO BEAUTIFY
LITTLE RIVER
Mayor MeaCham Will Ask COun-
Gil For An ApprO-
priatiOn.
TO CONSTRUCT A DAM.
Making Boating, Fishing, Bath
ing And Skating Free To
Whole City.
TO CONSTRUCT A DAM.

At the next meeting of the Coun.
Gil, September /, Mayor Meachsm
will make recommendation for an
appropriation to improve and beau
tify the channel of Little River in
side the city limits, increasing the
supply Of water in the channel all of
the year, The stream gets very low
in summer and almost goes dry in
September some years. The plan is
to put dam across the river above
the mouth of the Ninth street sewer
sufficient to make the water from
six to eight feet deep in the channel,
which is 40 to so feet wide. This
would give beautiful stream more
than mile long up to the water
works dam. The channel is most of
the way we'll shaded and winds its
way under three beautiful bridges.
This body of pure fresh water would
be fed by two never failing springs
inside the city and the overflow from
waterworks dam would keep the
stream fresh at all times.
This would solve the question of
sanitation, as there would be no
stagnant pools in the stream. Ii
would furnish boating. bathing and
fishing right in the city for the peo-
pie, and for skating in winter. The
young people would organize swim
ming and rowing clubs, and there
could be boat races over a course a
mile long.
The stream would at once be
stocked with fish and after a season
or two thrown open to the public
for fishing.
The city has full authority to po-
lice the stream and regulate its use
by ordinances.
1t is already a misdemeanor to put
filth or sewerage of any unsanitary
kind in the stream and these ordi-
nances would be rigidly enforced.
and the river banks beautifed
There is authority to compel per.
sons owning land to the waters edge
to build retaining walls and improve
the banks, as may seem necessary.
There would be a few sandbars and
others distractions to take out,
some weed beds to remove and some
1verhanging trees to trim, but |
about the only cost would the con-
of concrete dam at the
'oot of Ninth Street 80 feet long
md s or 10 feet high. 1t would have
! flood gate in it for flushing the
tream below and the top could be
lsed as a footbridge to the ball park.
1t is believed that the Council will
axe favorable action and that the
York will be ordered at once.
Nothing could be done to give
lore genuine pleasure and satisfac- :
on to as many people in the city.
