tion for New Depot.
It was HQt a very large com
pany ot ladies which gathered at
the Baptist church last Thursday
evening, but determination made
up for lack o f numbers and the
movement launched which will
no doubt mean a city park for
Newberg. •
Mrs. F. C. Stanard was made
chairman o f the meeting and an
open parliament on needs and
methods followed. After some
discussion the ladies decided that
they did not wish to be selfish in
taking to themselves all the hon
ors o f the enterprise, likewise the
w ork, and decided to call upon
the men to co-operate with them.
They accordingly called a mass
meeting o f the citizens o f New
berg for Saturday evening.
The meeting was not as mas
sive as it should have been, but
those present were interested in
the project, and th at’s what
counts. Mrs. Douglas was made
presiding officer. She called on
Clarence Butt for an expression,
w ho, following the Adamic ten
dency still so dominating in err
ing man, sought to lay the burden
o f p roof upon his wife, he not
being able to read the manu
script she had prepared for his
speech, yet he found words suf
ficient to testify to his loyalty to
the cause o f public parks. He
pointed out that as the tow n
grow s, the chance o f securing a
g o o d park becomes less while the
demand for it rapidly grow s
greater. He pledged his moral
and financial support to the suc
cess o f the movement.
E. H. W oodw ard admitted
that as a boy he had been accused
o f being partial to shade and
that his attitude had not
changed, which in part explained
his enthusiasm for parks. In
the first place he considered it
very desirable that every citizen
should as far as possible make
a private park o f his own
home. General care extended in
this direction will foster the
spirit o f tow n pride, and call
for the next important step, the
establishment o f the public park.
J. C. Hodson considered the
movement an excellent one. He
expressed preference for the nat
ural park first, and after that
the artificial. The combination
o f both makes the ideal park.
Citizens should take an individual
interest in beautifying the town.
He advocated the idea o f each
family contributing a tree or
shrub to the park to be, thus
securing active co-operation on
the part o f all.
Similar sentiments were ex
pressed by Mrs. Douglas and
others, and no discouraging
w ord was heard. As an initial
step it was decided that a com
mittee be appointed to consider
the question of location, and get
propositions tow ard securing
suitable sites. The personnel o f
the committee is Clarence Butt,
Mrs. E. H. W oodward, J. C.
Hodson, Mrs. L. M. Parker and
Mrs. F, C. Stanard. When a
report is ready, the committee is
to call another public meeting o f
the citizens, when some definite
action will be taken.
*k
Newberg people were for the
most part peacefully oblivious to
the fact at the time, but on last
Friday afternoon a special train
brought Divison Superintendent
O’Brien and Superintendent o f
Construction Fields out from
Portland on a very momentous
mission—frqm a Newberg point
o f view.
On arriving they were met by
C. J. Edwards, N. C. Christenson,
John Larkin and B. C. Miles.
They requested however that
they be allowed t o “ take their
first observations unattended,
and after looking over the situ
ation for themselves, they re
ported their “ findings” to the
gentlemen above named.
Mr. O’Brien said that he
should recommend for the loca
tion o f the new depot, a site east
of the handle factory, between
School and College streets. He
stated that any place farther
west would be not feasible, on
account of, the grade and cut,
and furthermore the handle fac
tory
would
interfere
with
switches and prevent any loca
tion nearer to it.
No bonus is to be asked o f
Newberg. M r.. O’Brien stated
that fact decisively. The com
pany asks only that our citizens
use their good offices in helping
secure the site, owned by A. (P.
Oliver, as reasonably as possible.
The city will be asked toim p rove
certain streets leading to the
depot, and close some others,
travel on which, switching would
render more or ie£d&ngerous
The officials sta^fd that $2500
would be expended on a new
building, and $1700 on the
switch. They placed the total
cost o f the. improvements be
tween $7,000 and $£,000.
No time for beginiingthe work
w as given definitely, but the
visitors remarked that they
wished the change-jnade before
bad weather sets in. They left
with the promise that their sur
veyor would be here soon to
survey the site, establish grades
etc, and make pi4liminary ar
rangements for the work o f im
provement.

The local G. A. R. Post and the

several social evenings together
both in their orders and in their
homes in birthday surprises etc.,
but the event o f last Friday
evening is reported as the most
enjoyable, when the G. A. R.

with their business, an escort
was dispatched fo f the ladies

o f Mrs. E. R. Horton.' After
their guests were seated around
the hall, the hosts served ice
cream and fruits in a way that
showed that they had not for
gotten their early training* in
serving, this time not their coun

which all joined in singing
Georgia. ’
The h ou rfbr depart«** arrived
