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,
