PARK AND CEMETERY . 
XI 
Dr. J. V. N. Standish, of Galesburg, 
111., has prepared plans for the new 
park to be established in Yates City, 
111 . 
One hundred thousand dollars will 
be expended in improving the Minneap- 
olis park system, under recommendation 
submitted to the park board by the com- 
mittee on improvements. The chief im- 
provements and their cost are as fol- 
lows : Bridges between Lake Calhoun 
and Lake of the Isles, and Lake of the 
Isles and Cedar lake, $30,000 ; dredging 
between Cedar lake and Lake of the 
Isles, $6,000; North Minneapolis park- 
way extension. Lake of the Isles to Su- 
perior avenue, $5,000; Jackson square, 
$5,000; Van Cleve park, $1,000; North 
Commons, $6,000 ; Camden park, $5,000 ; 
Tower Hill, $500; Powderhorn Lake 
park, $4,000; Elliot park, $2,000; River 
road, $8,000; Lake Amelia, $500; small 
triangles, $3,000; greenhouse extension, 
$10,000; Lyndale park, $4,000; Minne- 
haha park, $1,500 ; Godfrey road, $1,000 ; 
Kenwood park, $1,000; Bryant square, 
$500; wells for different parks, $2,000; 
bridges along Minnehaha parkway 
(Humboldt avenue bridge), $1,000; 
tools, implements, etc., $3,000. 
Oregon Caves, “The Marble Halls 
of Southern Oregon,” are to be pre- 
served by the government. President 
Taft has signed a proclamation making 
them a national monument. The gov- 
ernment will improve the facilities for 
reaching the caves. 
The Mineapolis office of Warren .H. 
Manning, of Boston, is commissioned 
through his representative there, 
Charles ‘H. Ramsdell, to prepare plans 
for a new lake shore park in Duluth, 
Minn. The site is at the junction of 
East Superior street and London road, 
and runs through to the lake shore. 
The site comprises 15 acres, but the 
plans will cover the shore lines for 
nearly a mile, as the strip is long and 
narrow in proportion. The features of 
the plan will be a continuous shore 
promenade nearly a mile in length, 
treatment of a playground and skating 
rink, with its warming house for win- 
ter and a shelter pavilion in summer. 
Chester Creek borders the tract on the 
east, tumbling down over the ledges 
and boulders with fine birch bordered 
banks that are characteristic of 
Duluth. The magnificent view of 
the harbor and of Lake Superior will 
be carefully handled, and the problems 
of the very steep slopes and- bluffs will 
require careful treatment.
