Tho olty counoll at lta last moe'.inv gnvo tho park com in It too powor to use Its own judgment In the care of tho city park or tho ground which Is supposed to bo a purk. If there is ar.y reason why this park should not bo properly cared for and mndo an ornament to the city, such reason has novor been ad vanced. It la truly deplorable that all those years have elapsed without any thing having been done to beautify this little tract of ground, which, while not lui''e or capablo of bolng mndo into a YcllwBlono or Uoldan Gntc park, could i it i . ueomed from lta abandoned op- pnaranco and made suitable for the pur poses for which it was intended. Tbore has been enough labor spent on thla trnct of lund at divers times during the last six or seven ycare to produce a credible park; but after all this time it looks worse than it did in tho begin ning, It is to bo hoped that thu park committee, having full powor to uso its own Judgment in the care of tho park, will exert themselves to bring order out of chaos. It can be dono by a lib eral amount of work and a small outlay of cash judicially expended and the citizens of Medford would doubtless feel grateful for anything which might be dono to onhanco the beauty of thla shamefully neglected hcrltanco.

Contrnry to expectations tho valley haa been visited by heavy frosts during the paalfuw duya which have materially damaged tho fruit crop in some sections of tho surrounding country. Tho pear crop baa Buffered tho grontcst damage, The orchards of Wccka & Orr, Clint Htowari and G. Voorhlos wcro affected to a greater oxtcnt than tho orchards nearer Medlurd. This is due to the fact that a heavy fog settled around Medford Saturday and Sunday morn ings, which protected the orehaids within tho limits of Its visitations. It is to be hoped that luturu developments will demonstrate that tho injury dono is not bo extensive as at present up poars. In view of the ovents deroga tory to tho fruit Interest during the past week it is, extremely fortunate that wo havo had a lalo, backward spring which precluded the too enrly awakening of the fruit buds, in which ease tho fruit crop of the whole county would have boon jeopardised, Whon vou havo drank bad wnter. or If you have en ton something that is heavy, or II you cannot eat, get one gal Ion of the real old grain dUtillod whiskey for your homo use, at 2.25 ner irallon and un at tbo distillorv office opposlto now depot. -A.
