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

most pleasing quality. 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

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.

Athletic Classes
Are Large
The boys' and girls' classes of Pro
fessor Larimore are very large this
year. 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. Sotoros and Jim Sivas, from
Hilt, Cal., are spending a few days
in Ashland.

Together Friday
All the Ohioans who could possibly
attend gathered at the park for the
annual Ohio day Friday afternoon.
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. Frl
dar there were many from out of
town at the meeting, In fact as many
as there were from our own city.
