More Unjust Criticism. '
The Observer, in its unwarranted
criticism of the former street super
intendent, has a lengthy article iu its
last issue in support of its position in
whioh the arguments advanced show
clearly the editor's deficiency of
knowledge of the subject. We do not
acoose him of wilfully misstating the
case but believe him to be the victim
of misinformation whioh should be
oorreoted.
In regard to the formation of the
pond on F street, it is true that the
most of this water should be turned
into Gilbert oreek front Third street.
But as it would require a considerable
expense to do this tbe street superin
tendent has net tbe authority in him
self to do it In such matters as
this he is under th direct orders of
the street oommittee of the oounoil.
The editor should he informed of this.
In regard to tbe sewtr in Block 10,
Boundary Line addition, the Observer
says that it was not pot down over six
feet in any place, wbile the specifica
tions call for a dsptb of 10 feet. But
Mr. Gilfillan declares very emphatic
ally that this sewer is down the fall
10 feet and to the required depth for
the 'whole distance aud that all the
holders of tributary property oaa
connect wltb it

main sewers did not develop open
ditches. Ihe refilled trendies always
settle. When the first heavy rains
came In the Fall the Seventh street
sewer at the intersection of A street
settled three feet in places, exposing
The
strett superintendent repaired it so
promptly thai very few people knew
of the open ditch cutting one of the
l most traveled streets of the city.
And if the Observer has not heard of
the settling of the main sewr
trenches it is In a large measure be-
cause the prompt and eliicleut work
i of the officer in question left no reason
j for much talk on the subject.
The charge of being too kind with
j some sections of the streets aud not
kind enough with othors is one that
I is prnbahly made of every strevt sup
erintendent under the sun and is un
worthy of notice.
I That indefinite lateral sewer in the
; "north end" which was dropped a
j foot against the grade cannot be
! identified by Mr. Gilfillan, who is not
aware of any such thing.
' The idea of blaming him with the
conditions at the Kiverside school is
actually sickening. The flooded base
ment came from the main sswer. The
three main sewers discharge into one
pipe which would not carry th Mow.
Consequently 'he main sewvrs
"backed up." But the street super
intendent had no control over this,
either past or present. Not a single
oue of the Observer's accusations
stand investigation.

Pleasant Social Dance.
Without a doubt, the most enjoyable
event that has been held in Grants
Pass for a leng time was Ihe dancing
party given by a number of Ihe Grants
Pass girls at Clemens' hall on Thurs
day evening.
Everything was managed by the
girls and they ' proved themselves
eqnal to the occasion in every particu
lar. The ball was beatutifully and
artistically decorated, the floor in per
fect oonditien and tbe mnsio, fur
nished by Messrs. Dean, Wharton,
Cheshire, Maboney and Miss Ruth
Dean, was exceptionally good. Punch
was served all daring the evening
from a bootb at one end of tbe ball,
and four young ladles aoted as floor
managers, while "ladies choice" was
the order of the evening, and .to see
the boys xsated around the room wltb
broad smiles beaming on their faces,
was oonolusive proof that things
"looked good to them."
A very large crowd had responded
to the neat little invitations and by
8:30 o'clock the room was filled with
the happy young people and everyone
pronounced this dance the success of
the season and all are auiious that
the girls repeat their triumph in the
near future and give us another dsno-
ing party as thoroughly enjoyable as
this one proved to be.
