Prominent in the civic and. business life of the community for many years, Mr. Loring has found time to devote much of his attention to the en- hancing of the picturesqueness of the city by improving sections of park sites and growing trees thereon and the like. These efforts were con- tinued during a span of 55 years, the first undertaking of Mr. Loring taking place in 1864, when he promoted a flower show and formed the first flower association, and the last, to date, beidg the blooming of ‘trees along Victory Memorial Drive, said to be one of the most beautiful in the northwest, in 1919. ‘Chronological events in Mr. Lor- ing’s life show that every few years he’ attained’ success in both the busi- ness and improvement fields. He Tield at various times the following of- ices: Secretary, Atheneum Library; president, Board of Trade; member, State Horticultural Society; presi- dent of. first ‘improvement society in ‘Minneapolis; president. State Fores- try association; president, Chamber of ‘Commerce;' organized | North Ameri- can Telegraph company: and was its president for 30 years; ,president, Minneapolis Board of Park Commis- sioners; president National Park and Outdoor Art association; member Minneapolis Institute of Fine Arts. Mr. Loring, who: was born in Port- land, Maine, November 13, 1833, be- gan his improvement successes in 1864 when he was 31 years old. In that Year he was elected.a’ road su- pervisor and he promoted the first flower show ,and. .formed,, the. first flower association here. At this time he had been here for-only four years, Mr. Loring stating .that the natural ‘beauty of St. Anthony (now Minneap-. olis) appealing to him.‘so strongly. - Two years later, in 1866, he’ planted trees. on Minnehaha ‘Avenue here as his individual :performance.’ © The | trees are-in bloom today still. In 1868; Mr: Loring ‘donated trees for Minneapolis’ first park, a site giv- en the city years before by. Captain Edward :Murphy, ‘but ‘which had re- mained unimproved: . He then induced the city council to. devote $75, a. month for a caretaker, and he personally. laid out the paths and planted the trees. Fourteen years later, during ‘the interim of which he was prominent in business ‘circles here, Franklin Steele Square was donated hy daughters of Mr. Steele on condition that Mr. Lor- ing would asgume supervision’ over itt The latter in turn employed a university professor! to’plant trees on the tract. The following’ year, in 1883, while he was president of both the Cham- ‘ber of Commerce and the NorthAmer- ican Telegraph company, ‘which he then organized ,the park commission Was organized with Mr. Loring, as head. Franklin Steele Square and Murphy Park were turned over to the park board-then and this was the be- sinning of the local park system which now ranks one of the highest for cities of similar size in the coun- try. Mr..Loring was clected president of the/National.\Park and ‘Outdoor Art association; idn: 1886. ‘Also -at this time;-héowas appointed by the gov- ernor of “Minnesota as ‘chairman of @:committee to obtain Minnehaha park.

Kohler In Eight Years SLOGAN: “CLEAN UP CITY” Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 25.—From de: throned chief of police to mayor of. Cleveland in’ eight-years was, the ac- complishment of Fred S. Kohler: prominent as the “Golden” Rule Chief” during Mayor Tom L. Johnson's regime, was elected’ without making a campaign speech. Instead, for. five months he conducted a house-to-house) canvass which he carried into every ward and probably into every precinct in the city. “How many. miles did 1 walk? Thou- sands, but I Rave no idea just how many,” the mayor-elect ‘said.- “Ot course, not every doorstep had-a we!- come signal hanging up.for me, but I had one line that I used whenever I found a chilly reception, and it never failed to thaw a cold group. If 1 in- troduced myself and no ‘one seemed enthusiastic, I wound up with: ‘Well, if you'll vote for me .J’ll. appreciate it and if. you don't ‘1’ll never know about. it.’” Kohler announced his” ‘daididacy as an. independent Republican this’ fall. His slogan was: “Best police chief. in the United ; States.’ “Make life, property and-town-safe, and you will’ have a.city manager.” Kohler’s cémeback started nearly from the day in 1913 when‘he,was dist missed as chief of police by the civil service commission on charges. filed by Newton D.
