.Of.) I A. Public Virk. To the Editor: A public park for The Dalles is something all should con cider and in thinking and talking of im provements of various kinds, let us not neglect to provide a breathing place for the population occupying the homes in our city. When this, our fair city, shall have grown to 20,000 and all these streets below the bluff will have become busi ness blocks and warehouses, and that part of the city now on the hill will have been more compact, then the necessity for a public park will be so apparent that thousands of dollars will have to be expended in providing for ' the wants of the people. But why not now, when the land is comparatively cheap, provide for this time that will surely come? and in providing for the generation to come, faave the pleasure and enjoyment of the outlay ourselves, and then the thanks of the generations that shall come after us, when we are gone. "What a pleasant gathering place it would be in times of. large conventions. Here open air meetings of all kinds might be held and the citizens gathered in the park could be entertained by the music. Fourth of July celebrations ould here be given with safety, which when all this land is covered with build ings, will not be permitted in the streets as now. Let The Dalles take warning by Easter cities, who have failed to provide for this need of the people, and after years of privation have been com pelled to purchase land at immense cost to provide this necessity. If others have thoughts and sugges tions on this subject, let us have them - ' A ClTIZBN. SCRAMBLING FOB TICKETS. Scene In Bait Lake the Opening; Night of the Circus. . The Next Great Syndicate Shows and Paris Hippodrome, which exhibits in The Dalles, Saturday July , is beyond doubt one of the very best as well as the largest traveling. jjfn referring to the show the Salt Lake News has the following to say : "The gigantic tent at Central Park could not con t a hi balf the number who sought admittance to the New Great Syndicate Shows last night, and thou sands were turned away. The streets were packed with people. Not only were ttie sidewalks crowded, but even the roadway was almost impassable, and the street-cars had difficulty in forcing a paesage. "It did not look like bard times to see the struggling crowds scrambling for the ticket office, and when the bell finally rang np the entrance of the equestrian tournament, there was tier upon tier of spectators, with as many more satisfied with standing-room. The spectators were magnificently enter tained from the beginning to the end of the programme. Everyone wore broad grin for two hours, and then went -home still smiling. Word From Hr. Sargent.

"How I could wish that time in its flight might turn backward and make me young again 'just for one day. In the graveyard lie my father and brothers knd numerous family relatives, and on All sides are the graves of friends and neighbors of fifty years ago. "We leave tomorrow for Boston, where -our ancestors used to reside, to visit some of them, and the residences they occupied in 1635 ; then start towards Oregon, where we hope to live till the final change comes." Mr. Sargent may be sure of a hearty welcome when again in The Dalles, for he and his estimable wife are well be loved in our midet.
