NEW CITY PARK
 READY FOR USE.

Contractor Tom Crosnoe promises to have the bandstand and the new city park in readiness for the band concert which will probably be given tomorrow night by the First Regi- ment Band of this city. The new park promises to be one of the most attractive places in Hope when it Is Finally completed
 The site is ideally located, being jast across the Iron Mountain tracks from the Barlow Hotel This is the location which has been chosen for the Hempstead county courthouse and will doubtless be used for that pur- pose when the courthouse is finally settled.
 The park will have four street en- trances-from Louisiana, N. Elm, West Division and Avenue A. The Idriveways leading from these streets will circle the bandstand, and there will be plenty of room for the park ing of automobiles.
 The bandstand occupies the centet of the block and will be painted white with a green border. Seats will be placed about the walks which will en- circle the stand.
 Heretofore it has been customary for the regimental band to furnish Hope citizens one concert week, ard this practice will be continued during the present summer, and the new park will make it a better place of entertainment.
 The ladies of this city deserve much credit for initiating this movement for the city park, but the committee appointed by the city council gets the credit for thea ctual work in prepar- ling it. Bob Crosnoe, Howard Shep- pard and Claude Stuart compose the committee from the board of alder men that devised the plans for the new park.
 Hope can now boast of two city parks. The one in the West End con- tains forty acres,-Hope Evening Herald.
