The Thermopolis park is but two blocks from the main street. The gro- cers, butchers, barbers, picture show operators, all derive the benefit from having the ground close to the city. Thermopolis has a stand where cars may be washed, and this often means a day longer stay in the town. A laundry. will be installed next year. This will mean another day. A band stand fs on the grounds and band concerts will be given next year.
