NEWPORT

ment Club-Mrs. Dave Harding
presidents engaged in improv-
ing the city park. Four teams
under the direction of Joe Park
hurst road supervisor are engag-
ed in scraping sand off the hill
on the west side Of the park to
I'LL the lily pond as it used to be
called, so as to raise it up out of
the water about four feet. The
pond is now about two thirds
filled and it wont take long to
I'LL the remainder and the park
with it's beautiful surroundings
is the prettiest in the county. 1t
is the intention of the Club to
place living fountain n the CEN
ter iof the park and this will add
much to its usefulness and at
traction. After the hill is grad
ed down, a pavilion will be
placed on the ground. A build
ing large enough to hold COM
munity fairs and to accommo-
date public assemblys that may
meet there. Where this building
Is to be put up, gives a-splendid
view of the Pacific ocean and
surrounding country. This park
contains four acres donated by
the late Samual Case to the city.
1t is now valuable and the name
ought to be changed from the
City to Case Park to perpetuate
the memory of the donor. The
money to make this improve
ment is raised by giving public
entertainments. Newport con-
tinues her Improvements right
along and still keeps from MAX
ing more debt.
The Women of Woodcraft will
give Thanksgiving turkey din
ner at the banquet room of the
!. o. o. f. Hall Thursday even
ing the 23d; and a dance at night
In the Rod and Gun Club Hall.
A general invitation is extended
to all VINO may wish to come and
enjoy this festival occasion.
The supper will be unusually
line as the Women of Wood
craft don't make any failures.
The Rod and Gun Club will al
so give a grand masquerade ball
and supper on Thanksgiving
evening at their hall Nov. 30th.
Prizes will be given to the best
sustained characters.
The Churches will have a I'm
ion Service at the Baptist
Church Thanksgiving day at 10
O'Clock A. NJ. A special pro-
gram VIII be prepared and every
body is envited.
The election being over the
people are quietly settling down
to business for another four
years. What the future has in
store FOR us no one knows. But
we will patiently wait and see.
Those Republicans who voted
for Mr. Wilson because "he kept
US ont OF war" may live to see
war with Mexico before the
trouble is settled. Murder. rape
and crime still goes on in that
country unabated. The war in
Europe seems to be gathering
momentum and no one knows
where it viii stop. We may have
n world war before we get peace.
The lowering sky looks dark and
portentous. II is said Mr..
Hughes WAS defeated because
he did not canvass the states of
California and Washington in
company with Senator Poindex-
ter and Governor Johnson. If
these gentlemen were peeved at
this and these states were lost
to the rcpGbl!can column for
lack Of harmony, it may react
on the Republican party at some
future time. As the Republicans
had a splendid candidate it
seems foolish that they did not
stay together and elect him. The
Democrats stick better than Re
publicans do and though they
were out Of power for many
years, did not fail to keep up
their party organization and now
that they are in the saddle for
another four years, all emolu-
ments and appointments will go
to deserving Democrats and the
weak kneed Republicans who
helped them in will have to whis-
tie.
While the Valley is having
frost, fog and cold weather, we
are having bright sunshine.
