[Hand-written date: 7-9-1898]
Dr. Ludwig Fischer, from the Philadelphia Dental College, and the Garrisonian Hospital of Oral Surgery, has returned to this city to practice in our midst. Dr. Fischer is one of our town boys, grandson of Ludwig Magenheimer, whose memory as a staunch German-American citizen is still with all good San Joseans, and son of Mr. William Fischer of North Second street. Dr. Fischer was in Dr. F. K. Ledyard's office for two years before he went away to college, and made many friends for himself by his pleasant, dainty service. His many friends wish him the success he deserves. Dr. Fisher will have elegantly appointed rooms in the Dougherty Building, in conjunction with Dr. Trueman, four offices having been secured for their convenience.

W. C. MORROW
[Hand-written date: 8-8-1889]
A Neat and Deserved Compliment By the Oakland "Tribune."

The Oakland Tribune says: "W. C. Morrow, who is well known among newspaper men of this State as one of the most accomplished of their number, is spending a few days in this city, where he formerly resided when he was connected with The Tribune. Mr. Morrow has dispsed of his interest in the San Jose HERALD and will probably go to New York, where there is a better field for his peculiar ability as a writer of short stories. In this line of work he displays literary ability of a high order and a vast amount of scientific knowledge. His great abilities will doubtless win for him great success in his new field of labor."

ALUM ROCK PARK.
[Hand-written: 8-10-1889]
Messrs. Goodrich and Smith's Proposition.

PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS.
They do Not Want a Lease for Speculative Purposes--Their Objects Briefly Stated.

EDITOR HERALD: On the 26th of July we made application to the Mayor and Common Council for a lease of Alum Rock. Owing to the absence from the city of one of the committee to which our petition was referred we have been unable to get our enterprise fully before the Councilmen and the public. As a counter proposition ha since been filed with the Council we desire to touch as little more fully upon our proposed improvement of the reservation.
As was well understood by the many prominent gentlemen who endorsed us, our enterprise involves the expenditure on the park of much more than $10,000. That sum we bind ourselves to expend on permanent improvements on the grounds alone. This money we propose to have used to clean out the creek bed, develop the mineral springs, make drives and walks, destroy poison oak, build bridges and establish picnec grounds. We propose to further expend a larger sum in erecting a fine swimming bath and a pavilion and in establishing a hotel where transient guests who desire to remain for the benefit of the waters may do so without taking the custom permanently from hotels in which the money of citizens is embarked.
We apply for this lease for ourselves and not for speculative purposes, nor to buoy up or float any twin enterprise. In our petition we have clearly stated that we desire to abolish, the sale of all intoxicating liquors in the park and make it in every particular such a place of resort any lady in San Jose may visit with children. We notice that the other petioners carefully avoid making any such condition. It is not even referred to. Why should the city make this corporation of Omaha speculators a present of the city park for purely hotel and saloon purposes?
E. B. Goodrich,
T. O. Smith.
