new CITY PARK
Formal Opening Of our New
City Park on June I1th
Band Gave Concert

On Sunday, June I1th occurred the
formal openinfng of Paonia's new
park
At $3.50 p. m. the Paonia band gave
a concert to the great delight Of a
large crowd OF interested and pleased
citizens. The music was of a yery
high class as is ali the music Of our
splendid band. A number OF seats
had been donated to the paIk by
our public spirited citizen Mr.. Homer
French. Da McNaughton had graf
uitously applied a coat OF paint, and
these seats placed around under the
natural trees left standing made
many people comfortable while they
enjoyed the music, and a pleasant
visit with friends and acQuaintances.
The management also furnished free
lemonade which was greatly enjoyed
by the younger memb bers OF the crowd
as we'll as some OF the older ones.
Everyone seemed to be having q
good time, and certainly our people
can look forward to many happy
hours spent In this place as the work
OF beautifying and improving prog
resses. No one thing undertaken In
Paonia for many months can add so
much to the convenience, comfort
and pleasure of our community a.
the completion OF this park. Here
families, groups OF families and clubs
can gather at no distant date and
find prepared for them a beautiful
and pleasant grounds upon which to
spend an afternoon preventing. Fouu-
tains, electric lights. flowers and or
namental shrubs and trees will be
Fheroassoon-a a. they caube provided.
A pavilion 50xS0 feet will be erected
at once. Lawns, walks and every
thing to please and invite the public
VIII be found here. In order to have
these things the committee in charge
will need help both in work and
funds, will you not help so worthy a
cause? In just n few years the street
leading to the park will be the most
sought after portion OF the city.
Property values will double and
treble and beautiful homes will be
built there
Every resident of that part of Pa
onia should take vital interest
In the work. as It may mean
much to them in the enhancing of
their property.
You will be surprised and pleased
to see the change made here by July
the Fourth when we hold our first
celebration at this place. We urge
every one to do their part in getting
ready for the happy occasion.

Canadian Minister Of the Interior On
Speaking Tour.

Winnipeg, Aug. 8.-Hon. Frank Oil.
Ter, minister Of the interior arrived
here to open the reciprocity campaign
IN the west. Asked 40 to prospects Of
reciprocity carrying the minister said:
You cannot Judge the election this
rear BY any standard Of former cleo
tons. Bourassa il in Quebec trying
TO force the naval question to the
'front.'. but that will not really be large
issue in the present election.
Reciprocity is the question. From
the representation of Quebec in the
house would say there is no aues.
ton that Quebec is very strong for
reciprocity outside Of Montreal city.
THE issue properly stated was simp-
" whether the parliament of Canada
had the right to revise taxation or not.
I believe that the tariff could be re.
iuced without referendum as It has
been increased without referendum.
There Is no doubt that the eastern
manufacturer must benefit by recipro-
city,. If the western producer has
more money to spend upon the prod
acts of the eastern manufacturer, the
eastern manufacturer must inevitably
benefit by the pact"
