TREMONT IMPROVEMtNl CLUB SEEKS PARK LENTS CITIZENS WANT FAIR PLAY The Morning Oregonian as Usual Gives Lents Another Black Eye. Dance at Lents Conducted by Gentlemen., Much complaint has l>een heard from numerous Itenls people at the lack of care which the Oregonian representa tive for this section, who «ver he may be. exercises In sending In his news. Several times of late there has lieen mistakes in I emo and confusion as to persons. There ap|*eare<i In Monday's ps;>er a writeup of a disgraceful dance at fonts. As a matter of fact there was no disgrace connected with the dance at lente It was a quiet affair and so far as is generally known highly satisfactory. Tbe event which really occurred was several miles out from lente and was a disgraceful affair sure enough It Is said several lente boys were present and that they were held for an interview with the sheriff The owuer of the dance hall at that place has given out a statement that his hall will in the future lie open only to such dance« as be personally conduct«. That ought tc ensure good management. i 1 , i Lnnta people will be interested in a movement started by the Tremont Im provement Club with the view of hav ing a park established in the Corvallis tract, lying along Millard Ave east of the car line. A meeting held at the Presbyterian church on Millard Ave., on Tueaday evening, March 4, took ac tion on the matter by appointing a committee of nine to meet the park board and win ita co-operation. Tbe need of a local playground and park was fully emphasized and the proprie ty of looking after the tract mentioned is evident to everyone who is acquaint ed with the Mt. Scott District. Thia tract is now covered by a thrifty but not crowded growth of young timber. 1 la level condition and the ease with which it might be fitted up for a ;>ark should ensure immediate attention from the park board. It is the only tract of any size lying adjacent to the carline and the beauty of ita young timber has lieen cause for admiration for a long time. A meeting will be held at Wood- mere hall in the near future to further promote the establishment of this park. GRESHAM. CORBETT. POWELL VALLEY NEWS Dr. C. E.
