be weaker All of these teams lost
valuable men by sale or draft last fall
and do not appear to have been sue
cessful in filling the bad holes.
Holdouts are getting scarce in every
team on the circuit. A number of men
demanded higher priced contracts and
held out for a time, but surrendered as
soon as they learned that the mana
gers would not stand for the raise.
Barney Reilly of the Drummers, is
one Of the most desperate holdouts and
he is troubling Boss Holland. Barney
saws that he has quit the game to en-
gage in business, but might consider
a contract if given a substantial in
crease. Reilly was one Of the most
valuable players on the circuit last
season and won a large number OF
games for the Joe town warriors. Hol-
the hole at first base and will certain
ly need Reilly on the infield.
Ban johnson has put a ban on the
player-reporters He has requested the
managers of the circuit to discourage
stunts and may adopt more violent
methods if his request is not adhered
to.
The player-reporter stunts have
caused ill feeling among the managers
and players of the circuit. This was
especially true during the last worlds
series.
John Gonding, the oldest player in
the Western League, will manage the
Columbus team of the Nebraska State
League. Gonding was a member of the
Omaha team about 100 years, but Faith
er Time has caused him to slip.

timore team, of the International
League, has been offered to Jack Hol-
land. Gettman played first base for
Topeka in a state league team in the
early nineties. He went to faster COM

Perhaps two thirds of water plants have commence ed pumping, and practically all fields will be flooded inside the next week, as all farmers are through sowing. and while some fields are just coming up, in many the rice is already knee high or higher and doing we'll.

CITY PROFITS VS. INDIVIDUAL

In the matter of city park for Pine Bluff at this time, when the city is already heavily taxed for improve ments, and her individual citizens feeling that they are already burden cd with as much taxation as they can stand; when the City Beautiful Club has realized the city's need for funds to the extent that it has pledged it. self to dispose of sufficient city scrip to raise fund for clean streets; when the general cry has been on all sides, scarcity of public funds" when the real need for a public park in a place of this size has become so great, as to be practically demand-it would seem that a proposition which would give to the city large and beautiful park, and at the same time afford the means of an increased revenue to the cty, would be the proposition to ac- cept

HELPLESS WHEN ON ITS BACK
Predicament of Camel Means Much Hard Work and Is Conducive to
 Profanity.

The "ship of the desert,' like any other ship, may be capsized, and in that predicament the camel is said tc be absolutely helpless under certain conditions.
 The queer beasts manner of lying down to rest is to fold his legs be- heath his body. If he happens to roll upon his side he cannot recover his feet again. This intirmity of the animal was amusingly illustrated in the experience O. French explorer whose caravan was male up of cam els.

estimated that fifty acres added to the present cemetery, are all that will be needed for a hundred years tc come. This leaves Fl acres that the city could sell as city lots, provided the park site is located near it, and Oak land Park would be not more than two blocks from this property-Park property always increases the value of adjacent holdings, and it is con servative estimate to say that if the remaining 71 acres were divided into 200 lots, that these lots would readily sell at $l50 each for the first hun dred amounting to $15,000. The sec ond hundred would be increased in value by the sale of the first, and could be sold at $250 each, amounting to of $40,000 to the city.
 The city also owns 9 12 acres on the south side of Pullen street, which would make at least 25 lots. These lots would be good values at $400 each another $1G,000 to the city; bringing the total up at $50,000 and leaving abundant room for additional ceme- tery acreage whenever needed.
 The city owes $21 ,0O0 for the 121 acres-this $50,000 would pay for the land, and leave balance of $29,000, which could tbe used for the beauti fication and maintenance of the park. Besides this there is surplus timber On the Oakland park site almost suf ficient to pay for the clearing and cleaning of the entire park. When all of these things are considered, and in addition the beautiful lake already there, needing only little work to put it in an ideal condition for park pur- poses, the Oakland proposition is the only one to consider. Driveways would be constructed as if by magic, the close proximity to the city limits to the highway which will surely be DullJ UtIWCcll Here dIlu LlJllC hOCh, all would go towards the easy realiza tion of a beautiful park for Pine Bluff.

 There is nothing in the idea that is not practical, and if followed up Pine Bluff will have a park for her citizens to be proud of, and for which they will not be taxed or asked to pay one cent.
