Ju my niind eye 1 can see people tea year Horn now, 60 years, yea a hundred year from now, blessing a past feneration for tneir foresigntea ness, and Lteathing out toaniUulnes to God for beautiful things, as they drive across to Bryants Park, from the end oi Second street, over a fine steel bridge, or better, I think, over one of tUose modern cement structures. them stop on the bridge to ex claim and acclaim u the quiet beauty of the prospect. Downstream they tote the debouch ntfnt of Calapooia in to old Willamette. Along the shores they see well-kept drives and shady walks, with the beautiful colorful ad dition of flowerbeds and shrubbery. Then, upstream, the sheer drop of wa ter over the falls, framed as 1 saw It one evening, when su and spray were favorable, by a rainbow. And all of this a gift to Albany, under re strictions so insignificant that we mile and wonder at the temerity oi anyone for looking the gift-horse in liio mouth. rlW Is the park a lttle rough and uneven in contour? Yes, and so much the better for park purposes. Does it oc casionally overflow! Yes, and so. too, do many parks throughout the country, notably matchless Bell Isl park at Detroit, Michigan. Shrubbery planted anywhere in the park will be found just wher. planted, undisturbed by the backwater of any of those win ter freshet. This time the people are aroused and in earnest I predict an overwhelming vote in favor of the p,rk- M. H. ELLIS. sors 'without those who furnished th money having a word to say. I in formed the gentleman who brou,. u uvcuiueui u tue, wi. tue requesi Editor The DemocratI have been tequested by both ,ide, ot the ques tion with reference to the city taking over the Bryant Park to write some thing of its merits or demerits. To all overture on the subject I have answered that an understanding of its provisions was due every voter and that the only way to get that know ledge was for the city papers to pub lish them in full. What purporter to U the deed to th park that was to be Riven the city provided Mr. Bry ant' donation was accepted was read. I saw but one clause in It that thought would not meet the approval of reasonable voters; namely, There should be seven commissioner t. would have control of the use of the I park, of all money, to be spent or appropriated by the city and In every way have absolute management and control of the premises. That the seven commissioners should consist of five to be appointed by Mr. Bryant's So fsr no one should object, but the question of expediency for the tax pay who were to furnish all the money perpetually for the mainten ance of the nark follow. As Mi. term of nrV of Mr. Brvant' an-' oolntee expired seriatim they would j have full power to elect their lucce.

Bryant Ui ioiiueu us it was worded as ne in tended it should be, but he would take it unuer advisement and report laic be has not seen fit to change u mind since. His right of demand should not be questioned. The city's right to refuse should not be ques tioned. I was told the deed' read "The city should never license the sale or giving away of intoxicating liquor on the premises." That I heartily indorsed and so informed Mr. Bryant. . Since he had to pass that way often he had a right to refuse to give room for a beer garden. I now find there seems to be a mistake in the provisions of the deed from what I had been in formed. Here is the city's printed rendition. "Sixth. The sale and giving away of intoxicating liquors on said prem ises shall be forever prohibited. "Seventh. The breach of any of the above named conditions shall ren der said grant liable to forfeiture to the grantor." Now this may be alt right I f wld by an attorney that if suit should be brought to forfeit the place be cause someone had sold or given li quor on the premises the court would certainly hold that was not cause foi the city to lose the park. Perhaps so. but I don't see why inch ambiguit should have to be corrected by a la suit If the deed reads as I first stat ed, that the city should not license the sale or giving, and if it did the city should forfeit, there could be no mis take in understanding. To honor Mr. Bryant with the name of the park is right To build and maintain a bridge is right To make a road across the park to Mr. Bry ant's adjoining possession is right The question is whether the park would be worth the price the city would have to pay for maintenance considering the two objectionable clauses men tioned. The first, perpetual control by five commissioners who might In time become adverse to the city's in terest, which is not likely but pos ible. T he present selected five are not objectionable to anyone but their held cannot be perpetual according to natural laws. Their successors might be very objectionable. The most serious objection is the wording of the deed if as printed by the city. There must be a mistake in printing. If there is no mistake a lootlegger could cause the city to lose ts rights provided the courts did not decide other ise. One of the hy the city should own the park is --. F, purpose, ror tourists. Liquor is transported by auto travel ers and the city could not prevent its being smuggled into the fcirk without keeping a policeman on the ground night and day to search every car. Again, if the flu should break out as it did last fall I will Pet thft rmay1u for my patients, a I did before, and that remedy is whiskey, if I hsve to send to Bryant's Park to get It I world not consider I violated any law Hut simply collided with a spasm of insanity that had seized a squad of hysterical crank.

Detroit Hailed As a New Leader All who have seen the ESSEX will understand how difficult it is to appear temperate in our claim for it People are saying the most enthusiastic things about it They like ita weight and the way in which it combine th economy of the cheap car with the quality, endurance, comfort and performance uf the large costly automobile. Motorists in every section are praising the ESSEX. Tens of thousands have ridden in It A million have seen the K.SSKV All hail it a new leader. "It I. THE Liiihl tar" That in a sentence expresses a view of practically everyone. It describes their feelings as to its type, its value and its distinctive performance. Motorists have long talked of the car that would be enduring nmt comfortable to ride in an 1 of great performance, ability and still that would le neither heuvy nor costly to buy or oKrnte. They describe the ESSEX as hehig "THE CAR" that filled that field. And they haw long wanted a light car that Ihey would not have to apologise for because of Ita ap penrunce. So their espre(sion, "That is THE I.lglit t ar," descnlws their fe dings concerning th ESSEX. When (an I Get aa ESSEX T That is the question stl are asking.
