TAKE YEARS TO
REPAIR DAMAGE
J. FRANK TREAT. OF PARK BOARD
SAID THAT 1T WILL TAKE FIVE
YEARS TO GET SHRUBBERY IN
PARKS IN CONDITION 1T WAS
WE'RE BEFORE FLOOD.
BEFORE FLOOD,

Little can be done this year in re-
pairing the damage done to the parks
of the city by the recent high waters
in the Red river, according to J. Frank
Treat, member Of the park board. Mr..
Treat said today that it will take five
years for the shrubbery in the parks
to reach the condition it was before
the floods came.
Mr. Treat said that practically all
of the valuable flowers and shrubbery
high waters, and that in the case of
the shrubbery, it would take fully five
years for it to reach the stage it was
before the inundation.
1t is expected that the matter of
providing a gate for the south side
trunk sewer will be taken up at the
next meeting of the park commission
in order to avoid a recurrence of the
break that allowed the emptying OF
the sewage from the south side into
the park by the last flood. It is prob
able that it will be recommended that
q gate be put in the trunk so that 1t
can be shut during high water and the
sewage pumped over into the river
during that time. It Is believed that
this will be the only solution Of the
problem.
The matter of eleVating Fourth
street south to form a. levee between
the park and the river may also be
considered as a possible means of pre-
venting the flooding of the park and
the inundating of the new auditorium
as has been the case on two occasions
during the present summer.

Hey Jimmie, here they come. lookit!
Ah-h-h-h!"
So chorused the voices Of thousands
of boys and girls this morning as they
stood in eager expectation along the
line of march Of Ringling Brothers
Circus parade. Once more they were
going to see that gorgeous, gnttertng
galaxy of great and gigantic glories
which only a circus can produce.
The children were not the only in
terested and pleased spectators as the
prancing horses with their gaily deco
rated riders, the bands, the gay wag-
.ons and the animals wended their way
past. 1t was as big a treat to the grown
ups, who were out in force, some Shar-
ing the pleasure with their little ones,
others unaccompanied by children and
looking as If they wished they were.
Standing at a vantage point was a
white-haired waman, well past the
four score year mark. She said she had
never missed circus parade in her
life. Near her was a toddling child
with wondering eyes opened to their
limits, to take in the almost unbe-
lievable sights. To both the parade
was a revelation and an innovation
with it's ever new display.
AS folks, big and little craned their
heads in the direction of the approach
ing cavalcade, squad Of gaily Co.'S
tuned outriders, cavaliers and lady
riders appeared, leading the process
sion.
Then came the real thing that had
attracted the thousands from their
homes at an early hour to secure fav-
orable places at the curb line. Seated
atop a gold emblazoned wagon was
yoIo yioO that
made the already jumping pulses of
the excited children beat faster. An
other salvo of "ah-h-h rang out as
a company of men and women riders,
mounted on jet black horses, rode by
with that easy, confident posture
known to circus folk and cowboys
alone.
The wonders followed so thick and
fast that Jimmy and his pals were
stilled trying to keep track Of the mar
wels. Wagon after wagon painted In

chariot containing Santa Claus and
two of his reindeers was drawn in
sight by eight Shetland ponies. That
brought cries of delight from the
children. Then there was another
coach with like number of the min
iature horses. This contained a new
style calliope operated by compressed
air.
Rufus Rastus and his Darktown
band was another attraction as they
dispenser ragtime along the hne Of
march. They Wed with the clown band
for popularity. An electric bamboo bell
arrangement, operated by a regally
dressed woman, was another novelty
in the musical line. But none of them
outdid the old time steam calliope that
footed it's way at the end of the pro-
cession after twenty-four elephants,
