T0B0GGAN IS OPEN;
EVERYBODY WELCOME

The toboggan OF the foot of Tenth
street das placed in commission for
the first time this season Christmas
afternoon and a large number of
youngsters pounced upon it the min
ute it was opened for the winter.
The slide has been greatly i'm
proved. Instead of the sudden dip
near the bottom, the slide is gradual
out onto the lake, eliminating the
sudden jerk and making the ride far
ther out. The warming house will be
brought from Diamond point and a
skating rink created near the foot
of the toboggan
The toboggan will be in use here
after and everybody is welcome to
use it, says the Carnival association.
A committee consisting of A. A. War
field, H. E. Reynolds and F. T.
Beaver was appointed by the associa-
tion to take up the question of the
city assuming control of the slide and
Mayor Vandersluis lent his Cooper
alton, resulting in this being done.
The association placed the slide in
shape and the city will look after its
operation the rest Of the season.

KIDS MUST CEASE
BUILDING BUMPS OR
T0B0GGAN WILL GO.

This is to serve notice that unless
the boys cease building bumps of
snow at tfe foot OF the tobOggan, the
slide will be removed.
This is the mandate of the officials
of the Cornwall association which
built the slide and paid for it, and
have generously thrown the toboggan
open to all who care to use It.
1t is thoughtlessness, no doubt, on
the part of the boys to build the
bumps, but the Carnival association.
which is sponsor for the slide, will
not assume the responsibility for ac-
cidents. The boys must cease any
or the slide will be taken
down entirely, foF association mem
bers have no time to waste looking
after a lot of irresponsible kids.
