A PARK COMMISSION
OF SEVEN MEMBERS

The creation of a park commits
sion of seven members to have the
full control ger the public parks of
the city of Grants Pass was the OBJ
Ject of ordinance No. GA, introduced
and read first time at the meeting of
the city council last night. Under the
terms of the ordinance the seven COM
missioners are to serve for two years
each, without compensation, and are
to have full authority in all matters
relating to the care, beautifying and
management of the public grounds
belonging to the city. The board is
also given authority to suggest and
direct, so far as the suggestions are
requested the beautifying of private
grounds to the end that the city may
present harmonizing effect. AS
first constituted the board is to be
composed of three members appoint
ed for one year and four members
appointed for two years, subsequent
appointments to be for two years.
The ordinance is now in the hands OF
the park committee.
Josephine Street Grading.
In the matter of the grading OF
Josephine street, the contract fot
which was let last fall with work to
commence May /, the council order
ed that the time of commencing of
this work be left to the street COM
nittee and the city engineer. 1t was
the opinion of members of the coun-
ell that the work could progress
much earlier than May 1st. The
contract for the grading was award
ed to Schell & Schell at the time the
bids were opened in the early part
cf the winter
Want Isham Street Graded.
A petition generously signed By
property owners was read asking for
the grading of Isham street. The
document was referred to the street
committee for report at the next ses-
sion.
Treasurer's Bond Increased
The bond of the city treasurer was
ordered increased to 10000, to hr
supplied by a surety company, ire
premium to be paid by the city. The
charter provides a minimum bond
of $1,000, but in view of the in
: creased funds that will come into the
hands of the treasurer during the
railroad construction the insurance
was deemed proper.
Fire Chief Election Approved.
The election of Laurence Wieland
by the fire department as its chief
for the current year was approved.
The salary attached to this office is
$3.50 per year. P. P. Proctor, who
had held the office for a number CT
years, has recently resigned
Veto Is Sustained.
The mayors veto of ordinance No.
$50, which provided for an increase
OF the salary of city attorney
from SIS to 1925 per
month in view of the added work
that would devolve upon that office
by reason of the municipal railroad
construction was sustained. The
technical reason given in the veto
message for the disapproval of the
ordinance was that the proposed law
carried an emergency clause, and tn
charter provides that salary increases
can not become effective for thirty
days after the enactment of the ordi-
nance. A second ordinance bearing
on the same subject, but leaving the
Increase of salary optional with the
council, is still in the mayors hands

DISCOVERY COMES
 AFTER 5000 YEARS
Buffalo House Takes the Taste
 Out of Castor Oil.

Since the earliest days of medicine chemists have been trying to take the taste out of castor oil.
 The secret has at last been discov cred by Spencer Kellogg x Sons of Buffalo, who are among the largest producers and refiners of vegetable oils in the world. They have removed the castor oil taste, and smell, too, purifying the oil and making it bet ter and more effective Nothing is added to it, nothing good taken out of it.
 Kallogg's Tasteless Castor Oil is tasteless in the true sense. Even children take it easily, for all the nauseating effect is removed.
 Sold now at all drug stores in 25c and soc sizes. Ask for Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil by name, for there are several preparations of castor oil, mixed and favored, which are not tasteless and do not act as we'll.
 The public is protected by the trade mark, green castor leaf, bearing the signature, Kellogg's.
 Made only by Spencer Kellogg & Sons, Inc, Buffalo, N. Y., refners of vegetable oils.

 "The mention of the visit to Will lington of Mrs. Hill, the daughter of Hannah Dimock, revives old memories. How we'll I remember the Dimock family as members of the fine choir that used to sit in the old high gal lery of the Baptist church, opposite the pulpit, in the 4O's. It was a chorus choir, with good stringed or chestra, led by B. Franklin Taylor, and at times filled the old gallery full. Of the members of that choir I re- member, of the alto, Olive and Orrin Weston and Jane DimOck, later Mrs. pr. Baker of Davenport, Iowa. Of the soprano, Mrs. Solyman Taylor, Marietta Rider, who for years was given the head of the choir with Bethania and Emily Shaffer, Hannah Dimock, Louise Weston, Louise Marcey and Juliana Holt. As bass I recall Wm. Golf and Wm. F. Shaffer, two as fine bass singers as are often found in the rural communities, and Samuel Stone, Newman Marcey and my broth CT, Timothy Merrick.

moral suasion loosened, and in the little red store near the Holland and Wilmington station the poison was dealt out. There was 8 thunder shower approaching and a man over Holland way, a reformed inebriate, who had succumbed to the temptation found at the little red trap, was re- turning to his home and we noticed him laying across the seat and liable to fall out at any jolt of the wagon. MT. Holman and MT. Williams went to his rescue, took him from his perilous position and laid him like a stick of wood upon. the woodpile in the shed just in time to care for his horse before the storm broke. It was a hard shower, with heavy wind, so much so that there was not a dry place in the new house with it's open windows and unmatched boarding, al- though shingled. A few years later MT. Holman built the large barn that was burned not long since. The barn was up and ready for the shingles on the Fourth of July. MT. Holman was ready to put in his hay, and I, with one or two extra hands, was en- gagged to help out and the barn was ready for use.
 'This suggests the lightning strik- ing the house on the old pr. Barrows place, and reminds of my having been told that the old house that used to stand there was built by Uncle Thom- as Merrick, and that when he was married to Aunt Joanna Noble they at once took possession and that i'll that house all their children were born.
 "Uncle Horace. was said to have been only a farmer, the small farm joining our Merrick farm at it's east end, and it has been the wonder of my life how they could get living there, but they did and were a family of which Willington might we'll be proud. There were five children, two sons and three daughters. Lovisa married Eleazer Root; Harriet mar ried Jonathan c. Walker; Marilda married Ralph Griggs. I suppose with Leverett G. Merrick of Bristol will pass the last male member of that branch of the Merrick tree.'
 These "reminiscences are valuable, showing the connection between the old families where there was marry ing and intermarrying and relation ships difficult to trace.
