Since the recent rain storm the citizens of Bemidji haye come to ap- preciate our lakeshore more than " ever before. The washouts that have occurred should place our cit- izens in a most serious frame of mind because it is a serious matter. By using the banks for drainage pur- poses will only tend to create more frequent washouts. Bemidji cannot afford to take chances. It has too much at stake. The water should be ~idrained by underground passages SO that outlet will come near the foot of the embankment instead of near the top. The expense to which the city will be put in constructing storm sewers would be but a drop in the bucket as compared with the cost of keeping up the repairs under pres- ent conditions. The step of perman- ent lakeshore improvement should be taken soon and ‘th‘e citizens who have suggestions to make should feel free to co-operate with the city council toward effecting such improvements. Gains In Population. The population of Minnesota July 1 is estimated at 2,213,919 in a bul- letin of the United States department of commerce issued today. This is a gain of 138,211 since the federel census of 1910 or nearly 6.3 per _cent. There were 109,021,922 per- sons living within the territory em- braced by the United States on July 1, 1914, the bulletin states. The po- pulation of the United States in 1910 was 101,748,269, so there has been a gain in population estimated at more than 7,000,000 in the last four years. The population of the forty- eight states of the union and the District of Columbia in 1914 is giv- en as 98,781,324, whereas in 1910 it was 91,972,266.

Point Pleasant Park and the Public Gardens Notable Examples. $ D i P Point Plensant park in Halifax, N. 8., has been left in a wild state. Be- yond keeping the roads in excellent repair and thinning out the under- growth as needed no attempt has been made to improve on nature. In addi- tion to the winding interlacing roads, there are many alleys and bridle paths, which altogether make a woodland maze. The thick evergreens form ad- miraple wind | screens, and even in win- ter (for comparatlvely Tittle snow falls in Halifax) a walk through one of the sheltered avenues with the tide com- ing in over the shingle just down the bank is a pleasure to be remembered. The main entrance is from Young ave- nue through a fine pair of iron gates, the gift of Sir William Young, a for- mer chief justice of the province, who is remembered for many benefactions S DRIVEWAY IN POINT PLEASANT PARK. | !in the city. i keeper’s lodge, a stone cottage, which Just inside is the park in summer is Motorcars red from th { winding 1« red in fowers, iptions are bar- | as the steep and | uld make their op- ! e to the riders as well | as to other frequenters. It is full of charming vist: ffords many in- | teresting views of the harbor and the Arm. The presence of the fortifica- K tions makes this park unique. Straight down the road a mile from ; the Young avenue gate is the second beauty spot of Halifax. the public gar dens. This is sn area of some twenty | acres in the very heart of the city. It is quadrilateral in shape and fenced in by a stout but unobstrusive iron railing | which does not interfere with its looks and effectually guards all within. from i willful or accidental depredations. For- ty-five years ago this plot of land was icn the outskirts of the city. Many a bag of woodcock and snipe has-been shot on the swampy ground near’by. A company leased it from the city for the purpose of growing vegetables: but, on failing, the city resumed the property and resolved to tufn it into a pleasure i ground. Today it is believed to be the | most beautiful pubiic garden in Can- ada. Not as in the park. here the hand | of man has bheen busy for many years. and the result is beauty from the exer cise of the art which conceals art. The old swamp has been drained through this area:and forms a pretty piece of ornamentdl water, animated by the | presence of swans aud several varie ties of ducks. Rarely is 80 much variety to be found within so small an area. The center is the band “stand, where concerts . are given.in the summer. Around it are’ { grouped the principal flower beds, from: Jnne to September a blaze of rich and i varied color; a continual feast for the artist’s eye. Trees of widely different llmhm:t flourish side by side. Shrubs {are. weli grouped and arranged. The walks twist and wind delightfully, and once inside the gates the visitor cannot see anything to remind him of a city. A notable feature is the low cost of faintenance. The park receives an an- nual grant of $2,500, and the public gardens get $6,000. In other words, these two pleasances are maintained at an annual cost of 17 cents per capita— 4 remarkable result.—American City. i eration un i ‘color) were painted, cautioning “safety AUTOMOBILES AND HOTORGYGL‘G H 12 Ninth Street So., MINNEAPSLIS, MINN. 1 * Northwestern College of i Law Evening School 1o i e, SonBian, | A complete course—Write for camos ‘MINNEAPOLIS H Promc your family and hundmgs agalnst y eq th t] 4 o f LIGHT! m klet.

Before the campaign started the Dnewspapers gave out;, just enough information to pique curiosity. ‘Without warning one morning short- 1y before 'the campaign week opeéned. citizens were greeted with ‘“safety first” signs painted on the ornamental electric light poles of the city. In the course of the following night on the sidewalks, a few feet from each cross- ing, huge signs in green (the safety first.” Then the. people began to won- der what was going to happeu next. The following day all the street cdrs bore illustrated half sheet posters call- | ing attention to careless practices. Then the campaign began. and the people were ready for it. Local speak- ers assisted by a safety enpineer from out of town gave noonday talks in fac- tories. Where there was a sufficient number of foreigners a speaker talked to them in their own tongue. A week-before the regular campaign talks were given in the public and pa- rochial schools of the city by a lec- turer.

The even- iug’s program concluded with one or more safety films. Touching the people as widely as m + sible in these three general ways in tactories, schools and evening lectures, it was yet realized that many would not be reached.

Texas Municipality Leader In the South In Establishing Such Work. First among cities of the south and southwest to establish a society for the purpose of mitigating *“loan shark” conditions is Dallas, Tes., which has recently established a Provident Loan society. - incorporated with a. capital stock. of $50.000. Loans are made upon- articles of value at 2 per cent per month. Hitherto, it is claimed, borrowers have been obliged in some cases to pay as much as 10 per cent a month. One important feature of the plam provides for payment of loans by in- stallments, which in turn automatically reduce the interest charges. For ex- ample, if a man who has borrowed $25, with interest at 50 cents a month. cannot at the end of a month take up the loan, but can pay $5, he may do so, thereby reducing the next month’s interest to 40 cents. The sums paid upon this basis must be equivalent to 10 per cent of the amount on loans of $10 or over, and on loans of less than $10 Installments must amount to $1 or In case the borrower is unable to redeem his property, it will be sold at public auction, and all surplus above the interest, principal and auctioneer’s fees will be returned to the borrower. An article of incorporation of the so- clety provides that no stock may pay more than 6 per cent. Profits in excess of this will be used for reducing still further the rate of interest at which money is ]ent —American Citizen. To Study Housing Problems.
