The fact that the late legislature

qualify as storage warehouses for
grain from giving bond whatever
has prompted the sia:e railway com

bond the outsider is not to be per

impelled to make a public .statement

"The I!J1 legislature made drast

MILLION DOLLAR HAIL
LOSS IN SASKATCHEWAN
Fditor Plattsnioiith Journal:
While so many suggestions regard
ing the proposed new citv park are
being made, perhaps one more would
not be amiss.
Why not make this
park as is being- done
places? Let everv man
child here have a chance to help.
Take the winter to raise the funds,
and those in charge can ascertain
just what would be the best plan
for this special location, and make
it something really worth while. It
is not very large ami with proper
handling could be made a little gem.
Let the school children help, the
P.oy Scouts and the Camp Fire girls,
and perhaps the la-lie of the Red
Cross, who bad so much experience
in organization, would help. Take
the time to raise sufficient funds and
do it up right.
A granite slab could be placed in
the hillside with the names of Platts
nioiith heroes on it. and the travelers
who might find shelter and comfort
there and the little children growing
up. would thus become familiar with,
the names of those who fought and
died -not for strangers in a foreign
land. but that the little children
could always play in peace in the
little old home town. Now every
