trains
The country for miles around is

Swimming Pnnl.

An effort will be made by a number
of the pounc men ot Lamar to cstab-
lish a swimming pool here, and Jesse
C. Johnston and Frank W. SaylCr act
ing for them placed the matter be
fore the council at its regular session
on Monday evening. The big city
reservoir at tho pumping station is no
longer needed by the city, and it could
with small expense be turned into a
fine pool for swimming. It is 50N72
feet in area and if the city will per-
init its use for the purpose and grant
a reasonable rate for TIE large amount
of water needed TO fill IL frequently,
will soon make one Of the mos. popu-
lar resorts in the valley. The council
appointed a committee TO make the
necessary investigation before taking
final action but all are favorable to
the proposition The money needed
to make the necessary improvements
can easily be raised by popular sub
scription during the warm weather,
and if quick action is taken Lamar
may yet have a fine resort before the
close of the summer season.
