Asylums and paternal institutions,
where unfortunate children are reared
in secluded community, have long
existed and have sought to supply the
training otherwise unprovided for such
children,
1t has, however, become a matter Of
comparatively recent experience and
conclusion that these institutions and
others Of their class have awakened to
the underlying need of the child nature
for those diversions which the condi-

necessary to reflect that the same in

A s the time appros ches when the

TO the important question of play
grounds for Salt Lakes children. A
good beginning has been made, but
much more is needed in this city in the
wav of recreation parks for the little
folks.
The playground movement has be-
come u landslide; its full purpose has
vet to be defined. The cities are ap-
propriating more money each year for
the support of Fairgrounds, and the
season is extended TO take In good

Last year the movement for city i'm

are Fairgrounds at Pioneer park and
at Liberty park.
At Pioneer park, which lies on the
west side of Main street. there is 81

boys side. It is supplied with fresh
pure water from some perpetual springs

the way Of supplying diversion from

many children are compelled to live.
SO far as this voluntary private eff

far enough to convince many persons

Since navigation has been closed
on Flathead lake on account of the
lake freezing over, mail for Poison

1t has to go west on the Great North
ern to Standpoint. where 1t is trans
ferred to the Northern Pacific which
takes it to Ravalli. and from there
1t Is taken by stage to Poison, ,trav-
cling about 500 miles and requiring
several days for. the mail to get
there from point in this end of
the valley, when it could be reach
ed in day by building a gap of
25 miles by stage. It seems that
postal officials might look for the
easiest and cheapest route to carry

FREIGHT RUNS INTO

Leaking Engine Obscures Vision Of
Engineer-C0nductOr Duncan and
Brakeman Taylor Slightly Injured.

On account Of leaking steam from
the boiler Engineer Poggi was
unable to see a string OF cars ahead
Of him when he headed in on the
side track at Vista Friday morning
to clear No. 4. and ran into them
with considerable force, but beyond
slowing in number Of drawbars and
breaking the pilot off the locomo-
tive the damage was slight. Conduc
tor J.D.Duncan and Brakeman JOHN
Taylor received slight injuries. Con-
ductor Duncan was sitting at his
desk making out his report and the
sudden stopping of the train threw
him up against it with such force as
to knock the wind out Of him and
render him unconscious for a short
time. Brakeman Taylor had just
boarded the rear end of the caboose
after closing the switch and was
about to open the door when the
shock came. He was thrown violent
ly through the door and sustained
injuries to his arms and shoulders.
