LAKE
TO BE DRAINED SOON
City Council Proposes Improve
ments in City Park-Will Erect
Swimming Pool. is Plgn

Two lakes in the fairgrounds park
will be drained to improve the appear
ance of the park, it has been decided
by the city council, after visiting the
park at the solicitation of Con1mis-
sioner Louis Wittmor, superintendent
of the parks and public places Other
Improvements will be made as much
as the park fund will permit.
Commissioner Wittmor explained to
the other members of the council that
the draining of the small lake which
is the closer to the baseball diamond
would create a much larger athletic
field and would give room for tennis
courts or any other kind of sports. 1t
would also be advisable for sanitary
reasons. The lake can be drained at
a small expense. The area now COW
cred by the small lake can be easily
and cheaply filled out with dirt from
the larger lake which is to be drain
ed, probably for the purpose of erect
ing a public swimming pool.
Another improvement of the fair
grounds park proposed by Commits
sioner Wittmor is the continuation of
the main driveway through the park
to the northern section of the fair
grounds park
Mayor Haas and Commissioner
Frisse'l accompanied Mr. Wittmor to
the fairgrounds park yesterday to get
a better view of the proposed i'm
provements and an estimate of the
probable costs of these improvements
1t was unanimously agreed by the city
council that these improvements
would add to beautifyiag the city park
and that the work could be done with
little expense.
Efforts have been made for some
time to have a public swimming pool
in the city. This suggestion was
about to materialize last summer
when the Civic Improvement Associa-
ton selected a vacant lot on the cor
ner of William and Lorimier for that
purpose. The construction of the
sewer was so vigorously opposed by
by several property owners that the
dropped the matter en-
tirely.

How many Of us yearn for one of
them every time we get tired of stay,
ing in one place and wish instead
that we could get ''out" somewhere.
How often have you wished you

own, shove the gears in high. and in
few minutes enjoy a change OF
climate.

you, dear reader, haven't an automo-
bile of your own.
Because if you haven't, it is just
possible that you wish you had.
And you can!
How would an Overland Touring
Car fully equipped, right up to the
last minute in motor construction,
with snappy, dashing lines-how
would that car suit you?
No money, please; We want to give
you this car absolutely free. Without
a cent of cost to you.
Or, would you like to have $500 in
god so You could hold it in your hand
and watch it glisten. Or would you
like to have a diamond ring or an
Elgin gold watch.
Any of these prizes is offered in the
Daily Tribune's great automobile and
prize campaign Just starting.
Surely you have heard about the
stupendous distribution of gifts that
is to take place under the auspices of
this paper on June s. Everybody is
talking about it; there is hardly a
young woman in this entire section
who isn't excited over the prospect
of winning a beautiful Overland auto
mobile, $500 in gold or a diamond ring
or watch.
Is Your Nomination In?
And if you could spend day at
the campaign Office you would see
with your own eyes the marvellous en-
thusiasm that the great prize offer
