J. A. Gilbertson, an expert landscape gardener, who laid out parks at Ash­ land and McMinnville, has been en­ gaged to superintend this work and the six-acre plot occupying the bot­ tom and aides of the old canyon w ill be transformed from an old eyesore into a moat attractive spot, with flowers, shrubs, grass plots, winding paths, a pond, playgrounds, etc. The plot extends from about two blocks above the bridge to a considerable distance below and when complete will present a very pretty picture to persons passing through the city over the highway. It will be remembered that some time ago the city voted funds for this purpose to the extent o f $8,000, and the matter has been left in charge o f the city park commission, which is composed of John Larkin, chairman; Mrs. 8. J. Madison, Mrs. Fitzpatrick, John Gower and George James. The committee secured the services of Mr. Gilbertson and plans were drawn which w ill be followed in carrying out the actual work. The plans contemplate the leveling o ff and terracing of the canyon; the planting of shrubs, grass plots, flow ­ er beds, etc., the Installation of a wading and swimming pool; the ar­ ranging of children’s playgrounds, and the laying out of winding walks through the entire park. Of course all of tbla work may not be completed this summer, but a start has been made and work w ill be steadily continued on this program until it Is finally completed as now contemplated. This w ill give New­ berg a fine park; an excellent amuse­ ment place for the children, and it will add greatly to the appearance of the highway bridge and the old can­ yon district. The return of Dr. W. V. Coffin with tho announcement that $50,009 has been subscribed by eastern Friends toward the f 150,000^goal of the pres­ ent campaign for Pacific College, is great news for Newberg.
