AT RUDD PARK
ARE CONSIDERED
BY THE COUNCIL
Dali DeWeese is Giving His
Time and Skill in Laying
Out Park.


The matter of the improvements at
Rudd park on River street were given
special consideration at the regular
meeting of the city council Monday
night, In fact. had sort OF right of
way over the other business. The
prominence given to the subject was
due to the presence of a special COM
mittee from the Chamber of Com
merce. including Dali Deweese. under
whose suggestion and supervision the
work is being carried out. To Mr.
DeWeese the city council. and the
community generally. owes debt of
gratitude for what is being accom-
plished at Rudd park. On the invita-
ton of the committee on parks and
drives of the city council. Mr. De-
Weese is giving his time and skill in
laying out Rudd park as a public
pleasure ground without any compen
sation, other than the satisfaction that
comes to him in being able to do
something 10 perpetuafe the memory
of Gov. Rudd. one of the early set
tiers of the Arkansas valley. famous
as pioneer. hunter and good citizen.
1t was decided at the first meeting
of the new city council. held a couple
OF weeks ago. that whatever improve
ments were made at Rudd park this
year must be undertaken at once in
order to get the benefit of the spring
and summer months in the matter of
vegetable growth. especially in. trees
shrubs. grasses and flowers With
this in mind the committee on parks
Ii - 1T -
Reeves is chairman. was instructed to
begin the planting OF shade trees and
to put in lawn under such supervi-
sion as it might elect to undertake. by.
and with the assistance of Mr.. De-
Weese and the city engineer Under
this authority about 40 trees. princi
pally elms. some OF them as much as
four or five inches in diameter at the
base. have been set out. These trees
were furnished by Mr. Deweese at
about a third of their market value.
The landscape gardening was de-
signed by Mr.. DeWeese and all wor.
is being done in accordance with the
plans he has drawn. On motion of
Alderman Reeves. seconded by Alder
man Rundahi, the council passed
sSStftutiUu -tzUnuds
thanking Mr. DeWeese for his interest
in Rudd park and the work and sacri-
fees he is making TO make it one of
the beauty spots of the city.
Because of the limitation OF the
funds available in that department of
the city government the council has
decided that il can not afford to spend
in excess of $500 in improvements at
Rudd park this year. Two-thirds of
this amount has already been expend-
ed. according to the report of the COM
mittee.
The matter of Cleanup day" was
discussed by the council Monday night
but reference is made to the matter
elsewhere in this issue of The Daily
Record and need not bee laborated on
in this connection. Business of the
council Monday night was devoted. in
a large measure. to routine affairs. in
Guiding monthly reports, the report of
the finance committee. etc. All mem
bers were present, including Alderman

LONDON, Aug. 22-British indus
trial interests view with alarm the
gaining Of a foothold by American ex-
porters in the coal market Of France

Great. Britain have given American
dealers an opportunity to obtain huge
orders in quarters formerly supplied
exclusively by South Wales mines.
American dealers are said to have
contracted for the delivery of over
100000 tons of coal in France, and
negotiations are now under way for
an additional half-million tons. One
or two cargoes of American coal al
ready have been laid down in Den
mark as sa mple shipments. orders for
which were placed last March during
the strike in England, it is stated
The price was said to be $3.50 per
ton lower than the English price at

England also are said to feel their out

portunities afforded American COM

$35,000,00O IN
GOLD IS RAISED
BY SALVAGE ship
(BY Associated Pressl

PORTSALON, Ireland, Sept. %. -
Salvaging $35,000,000 worth Of gold
ingots and bullion the White Star
liner Laurentic is reported to have
carried when she was sunk the night
of January 25, 1917, off Fanad Light,
one of the northernmost headlands of
Ireland at the entrance to Lough
Swilly, is being conducted by the sal
wage ship Racer.
The princely cargo lay at depth
of twenty-five fathoms. The gold and
bullion were contained in the strong
chamber amid-ships rendered almost
impregnable by its thick steel walls
and heavily bolted doors. At first
portions of the Laurentic's decks were
blasted away and a passage was made
clear for the divers. On June 20, the
retrieving of the treasure began.
The first bucket sent up contained
only copper pennies and a few silver
coins. Then for several days, bucket
after bucket containing three or more
gold bars, each worth more than
$4,000, were hoisted to the surface and
dumped on the deck of the RACER. The
first Of these bars brought lusty cheers
from the crew of the salvage ship, but
tossing fortunes about soon came to
be merely another form OF manual lab
or to these sailormen.
Most of the gold bars were nine
inches long, two inches thick and Jour
inches wide and weighed about TWEEN
ty-eigbt pounds. For days not one
was found as many of them were hurl-
ed clear of the wreck by the blasting
necessary to make the strong chamber
accessible. Several feet of sand have
now been washed over these scattered
bars and meath masses of twisted
steel and it frequently requires hours
of patient labor to pry them loose.
The reccrd-day's haul so far had been
fortyseven rs-approximately $780,
900. Thus far several million dollars
worth of treasure has been salvaged.
The Racer carries eight divers
Their tricks are so arranged that
