CITY PARK OPPORTUNITY

The matter of the city of DenisOn
securing additional park services has
been agitated more or less for many
years. The beautiful plot of ground
in north Denison, known as Grace
park and owned by the Messrs. Casa
day, has been frequently talked Of
as the making Of an ideal park to be
controlled by the city. Nothing def
mite was ever reached in the matter,
however, until recently. Last week
the Messrs. Cassaday went before the
council with a proposition whereby the
city could gain control of sufficient
ground with which to make a beauti-
full park. Some eighteen acres have
been offered at a consideration Of
$5OOO.0O. The eighteen acres is par
TALLY divided by Main street and some
seven acres lays east of Main street
and runs east to Pine. The remainder
of the plot lies west of Main street and
runs to the park owned by the
Bruederschaft. Running north the
line would be about the center
or just beyond the ravine. Suit
able roadways are already estab-
lished affording ample accomoda-
ton not only for foot traffic but for
vehicles of all kinds, and as there are
four ways of access the park would
make a delightful drive.
Messrs. Cassaday have had plated
a number of resident lots on the east
side Of Main street just north of the
residence of Mrs. Heiden, and will ask
the city to take this over as an addi-
ton plot to the city. If this is done,
the Cassadays will, at their own en-
pense build substantial bridge across
walk abutting the lots plated. This,
they claim, would enhance the value
of the park to the city
Union park, now owned by the city
and located just southeast of the
standpipe, does not furnish pleasure
nor remuneration to the city, and the
present council, as we'll as former
councils have thought that the sale of
this park might be made and the mon
ely derived from such sale used to pur-
chase a suitable park abundant with
natural trees There is some talk at
this time of disposing OF Union park,
but additional park grounds are not
being particularly considered by the
council.
On Friday night Mr.. Leon Cassaday
went before the Commercial club and
made known his plans for city park
and asked that committee be appoint
ed by the club and as many business
men as possible meet at an appointed
place and look over the grounds. We
understand the club has appointed
such committee. In Mr.. Cassaday's
talk to the council he asked for no
money down, but said the city could
have ten years time at six per cent
interest in which to pay for the park.
He is quite anxious that the matter be
settled one way or the other before
his going to Canada.

DENlsON SHOULD PAVE

we understand tlaC at meeting or
the commercial club on Friday evening
the matter Of paving the business Sec
ton of Denison came in for share of
the discussion. 1t was also ascertain
ed that few OF the members were in
favor of oiling. No definite action was
taken in the matter, however, and it
will not be considered again until the
next meeting.
The wind of last Friday stirred up
considerable dust and consequently
stirred up a number of business men
who do not favor having their stocks
OF Soods ruined with oily dust. Such
wind storms as last Tuesday and Fri
day must certainly cause our business
men and property owners some anxi-
ETY. as to the proper relief, and as the
oiling process has been tried and prov
ed failure. and as there is much spec
ulation as to the city wells furnishing
enough water for sprinkling purposes
there remains but one solution, and
that is paving, and the sooner this pro-
pect is taken up and the preliminary
work started toward paving portion,
at least, OF our business streets, the
better for all concerned Nevada, a
town muc!a smaller than Denison, only
recently awarded a contract for four
teen or sixteen blocks of paving, and
was able to secure very low bids. The
contract price agreed upon was $1.51
per square yard for concrete paving
re-eRforced with wire netting. Our
business men should look into this
IL, of 1i,,n
whether it would be more suitable for
the nenison streets than verified
brick.
Denison has the reputation of being
the best business town in the state
for it's size. Certainly she can lay
claim to the best hotel, the most mod
eru opera house, the largest depart
ment stores, government building
Carnegie library, churches and the
most intelligent people, and to go on
year in and year out fighting dirt and
reputation. Last week Mr.. Ches-
ter Wescott, of ST Louis, stopped in
Denison and III conversation with the
reporter remarked that for number
of years he had been making Iowa ter
ritory, visiting towns and cities the
size Of Denison and up to $4,000 in
habitants, and had yet to find hotel
better managed With more suitable
accommodations and more comfortable
beds than is furnished by the Hotel
Deuison The new Martin hotel at
Sioux City, costing over 100000 can
not boast of beds superior to those
,;sh
fact that Denison does not pave is to
be regretted, says Mr.. Westcott, and
continuing, he said that On his next
trip TO the city he fully anticipated a
change Of conditions and to hear that
preliminary work had been started
along The paving line.

ENGINEERS WORKING HERE
ON ROAD EXTENSION PLANS
By O.-W. II. Il y. EAST OF
PENDI.ETON.

Despite the fact doubt has been ex-
pressed that the Pilot Rock branch
will be extended to Ukiah this sum-
mer engineers are still at work per-
fecting the survey for that extension
and events may yet take such turn
that construction work may be un-
dertaken before many months.
The crew which ran the survey for
the Pilot Rock extension has been
working on line changes at Cayuse
and elsewhere since they came from
the south of the county and the work
of completing the Pilot Rock work
is being carried on here.
In addition to surveying for the
line changes to eliminate the Cayuse
hill, the surveying crew has been
running lines for a possible change
of track just above Pendleton. The
purpose in view is to eliminate the
grade just east of st. Anthony's hos
pital 1t is reported that one plan
calls for having all main line trains
enter Pendleton from the east ovei
the Spokane division, the main line
| track joining with the Washington
| division track just east of the upper
railroad bridge. Another view i:
that larger loop may be made ant

! subject have been made and Road

WEDDING CAKE is GUARDED.
Union Bridegroom Is Forced to Ea,
NOnuniOn Pastry i'm Ireland.

DUBLIN, Jan. THE recent arri-
val of a wedding cake under police
escort in a suburban district of Dub
lin caused immense amusement.
This was not joke. The cake had
been ordered from a firm affected by
the Dublin dispute and was conveyed
in van to the brides house with the
usual police escort. The EN- mbarrass-
ing part of the incident was that the
bridegroom was a staunch trade un-
ionist
The true-blue trade union policy in
Ireland under such circumstances
would be to refuse to handle goods. to
declare sympathetic strike. to picket
the premises. and denounce all who
do not subscribe to their policy.
The bridegroom had, therefore, a
delicate position to face. AS a trade
unionist, he should have boycotted the
cake refused to get married, and de-
nounced the bride.
But he didn't. He married the gir
and ate of the cake-which was
tainted goods"
Trade unionists refrained from
picketing the church.

An attempt at criminal assault on
little girl at Weston occurred last
evening and the nature of the case is
terest and Indignation among the peo-
pie of that place.
The girl attacked was the Is year

the back yard. However, the girl
broke from his grasp or the fellow be-
coming frightened let her go. Hys-
terical with fright the girl rushed into
| the house of Grandma Vanwinkle mex,

rushed for help when the man seized
| the little girl. Aid quickly arrived
and though the whole affair could
scarcely have consumed a minute:
time the fellow had made good his es
cape. No trace of him could be fount
last night.
The Goldsmith home is not on thu
edge of town but is surrounded b.
