Grants Pass Program Success The program given by Grants Pass at Chautauqua Friday was one which was exceedingly fine, and appreciated by all who heard It. Grants Pass certainly has exceptionally fine tal ent, and the program rendered was worthy of a well-trained company. The program opened with an over ture by the Grants f Pass orchestra, "Lustspiel." The orchestra was one of the most evenly balanced and best trained musical organizations of its kind that has ever been formulated in southern Oregon. - The next number was a reading by Miss Laura Thomas Gunnell, "The Convict's Violin." It was well deliv ered and the choice of the reading! was fine. A piano solo, the "Sextet from Lucia dl Lammermoor;" by Verdi, left-hand arrangement, by Ethel Carolyn Palmer, followed, and the number brought down the 'ap plause of the house. Miss Palmer is ver-y accomplished on the piano ad promises to have great future,, suc cesses in that line. The next, a violin solo, entitled "A Song of Thanksgiving," was rendered by Francis Allitson, and judging by the applause, the audience enjoyed it very much. The Grants Pass orchestra gave a selection, the "Desert Sands Inter mezzo," in their finished manner, and were followed by another solo by Miss Ethel Carolyn Palmer, "Can tique D'Amour. E. R. Lawrence succeeded with a piano solo, and his ability as a pianist is wonderful Miss Genevieve Patillo next gave a charming vocal solo, "Blossom Land," and her voice certainly has BnUth-DeArmond1 Wedding. At high noon Sunday, July 12, at the residence of the officiating minis ter on Morton street, occurred a very pretty wedding in the marriage of Ernest J.

After her solo the orchestra gave the famous "Intermezzo-Cavalleria Rnsticana.' The tenth number of the program "Song Readings," by Laura Thomas Gunnell and Ethel Carolyn Palmer, was the crowning feature. She gave four readings, namely, "Two Lov ers, "Down the Mississippi." "Danny Dever." "The Umpire's Goat." The last number was by the or chestra, "Nazareth." The Grants Pass people have reason to be proud of the fine program that they were able to put on. There were about one hundred Grants Pass citizens in attendance. The Tkling3 was unable to secure all of their names, but below is a list of some who attended: A. B. Cor nell. Leslie Calhoun. Earl Voorhies of the Grants Pass Courier, and E. Myers, a florist, came up on motor cycles, while I. D. Manuel, William Trumble, Karner, Hermann, Hal Truax. Josiah Pardee with mother and sister Prudence, Lester Day, Mer vin Jeffreys, the Misses Ruth, May and Beulah Smith. Evelyn and Lucile Bradford, Christiana Chailson, Va- Llesca Truax, Helen Layton, Mrs. George Sabins, Marian and Lynn Sa blns and Mrs. Nellie Morrison came intos and on the train. To the Editor: This is in response to your request for answers to the question. "Where shall the springs be located?" and I reply without hes itation or mental reservation, the lo cation should be the one originally selected; the one whose natural beau ty and fitness for the purpose has received the enthusiastic approval of the great landscape architect,' John ; McLaren, and the other distingnished visitors who accompanied him; the one which has been practically en dorsed by the people of Ashland who voted the bonds by an overwhelming majority with the full understanding that the location had been deter mined upon; the one which was the most favored by the commissioners until last Wednesday our beautiful, picturesque, unequalled Canyon Park. There has been no essential change in the situation. The city owns the same land in fee and under contract as it has held all the time. The ac quisition of more land is desirable, but, with the possible exception of the planing mill property, it is not necessary to the carrying into effect of the general plan. Such additional lands are no more and no less desir able now than they have been all along; and note this they are no less necessary should the location of the springs be changed to the Chau tauqua Park than if they are placed ! as originally planned. The leveT lands adjoining the park on the west (say the rear 200 feet of the properties facing on Granite street and lying between that street and the park) are desirable for recre ation purposes, playgrounds, tennis courts, etc., but we can get along without them. They are now value less except for gardening; and if the owners, considering the enhanced value which the proposed improve ments would confer upon the remain der of their holdings, haven't the good judgment and the public spirit to sell the 200-foot strip referred to at garden land price, then they should be allowed to retain it or else it should be acquired by condemna tion proceedings. We already own at the old picnic grounds and on the west bank of the creek considerable flat land, suitable for the purposes above suggested; probably more than we shall be able to improve and find use for in the next two or three years. The Pioneer planing mill property la in a class by itself. Its acquisition is essential to the co-ordination and symmetrical development of our park system, and this entirely irrespective of the location of the springs. Its owners are honorable and public spir ited citizens, and there seems no reason to question their entire good faith in offering the property under any arrangement that will save them from actual pecuniary loss. Without this property we cannot properly utilize the grounds to the south which the splendid generosity of the owners has made available without cost to the city.' That the situation is such as to compel us to pay an ex cessive price for the planing mills grounds or get along without them, Is our misfortune and not the fault of the owners. The location of the springs in the Chautauqua Park would, in my opinion, be a mistake, even if the city owned the grounds. The fact that this park is private property for which the owners have a very defi nite use (and one, by the way, or great value to the community), that it can probably be acquired, if at all, only by the payment of a large amount of money, and that to raise the money the people would have to vote another bond issue, all this seems to make the location Impracti cable. The suggestion that recreation grounds might be acquired on the north side of Mill street, opposite Chautauqua Park, can hardly be con sidered seriously. To acquire this valuable business property by pur chase or condemnation would cost rertalnlv five times as much as to secure the same amount of ground adjoining the upper park on the west. and after it was acquired it would not be worth halt as much for the desired purpose.

The swimming classes or boys come up to about one hundred and fifty at the Natatorium. If one wants to see an entertaining and amusing sight, they should go to the park in the afternoons and see the boys lined up for performances on the rings, bars and mattresses. Pro fessor Larimore has two able assist ants, boys he has trained and who have made good. Every parent should require their children to at tend these classes during Chautauqua. P.

All brought their basket lunches. In the morning Dr. Smith, the demo cratic candidate for governor, and prominent Ohloan, spoke to the gath ering. The rest of the time was spent in social conversation, singing the Ohio song and talking over the old times in the Buckeye state. Rev. Van Fossen gave a very entertaining reading. About eighty or a hundred were In attendance, and a more enthusiastic and state-loyal party was never be fore congregated together. Next sea on the Ohio people will try and make the event a more widely attend ed and more advertised affair.
