Paper
A water system costing I.W.fMH)
supplying St. Helens and Iloul
ton with the jiUn.8t of mountain
watr for household purposes
and giving to St. Helens nde(uate
(ire protection is now in oper
ation. The water commission,
' composed of some of the leading
business men of St. Helens, has
decided on some extensions for
the betterment of the service,
which extension depends entirely
upon the result of the vote to
morrow on the quention of con
nulidation of the two cities. The
present water supply is sufficient
to accommodate about 10,0K)
people and the present pipes are
large enough to carry the water
for that number. At the City
Hall in this city there is an
average pressure of 85 pounds,
sometimes running up to con
siderably more. At convenient
places along the streets are
placed fire hydrants. There are
small pipes leading to Iloulton
nnd to th fast growing suburb,
South St. Helens. If the two
cities are consolidated and Iloul
ton becomes a part of this city,
a main pipe line will be taken
out near the Harris place above
Iloulton and run down along Mil
ton Creek to iloulton, laterals
will be extended around the
town and fire hydrants will be
placed at the street corners.
thereby giving noulton the same
water service and fire protection
that St. Helens now has. Fire
protection is a great thing too.
Since the excellent water sys
tem was installed in this city
the proix'rty saved from fire
alone by the use of the water,
has amounted to considerably
more than the cost of the entire
system.
Iloulton is Bndly in need of
some sewers. So is that portion
of St. Helens lying to the south
of St. Helens street and west of
Winter street. The people of
that district could, and no doubt
would, petition for a sewer dis
trict that would drain nearly all
of Iloulton and a portion of St.
Helens, with the outlet in Frog
more. The cost of sewering is
considerable, but the method em
ployed in this city makes it very
easy on the property owner. For
instance, three lots in sewer dis
trict No. 2 were assessed l0.r
for sewer improvements. The
sewer is already in an connec
tions are made. The property
oAmcr signed an agreement that
h would pay one tenth of the
amount each year for 10 years,
with 6 per cent interest on de
ferred payments. Ii there a
property owner in the city who
would not pay $10 or $12 a year
for good sewer connection?
Thore is in prospect now the
very best year for building and
general progress for this city
'that was ever known. The city
is going to uo ahead as never
before. Industries are looking
this way, in fact, some of them
have already secured sites, and
St. Helens is goirg to grow very
fast. A considerable portion of
that growth is going toward
Houlton. The imaginary line
between the two cities w-ll be
lost sight of and one greater,
better town will enjoy the bene
fits arising from a general prog
ress and prosperity than will the
two towns, divided and torn by
financed and selfish grievances.
There is every reason why the
cities should consolidate and no
On another page will be found
a call for a mass meeting of the
citizens of St. Helens to discuss
the dovk nienfi.n 'n ....t
, - .... ,nn iiiti't-
mg should be attended by every
tax payer in St. IHens. The
ultimate decision of the meeting
should by all means favor the
erection of a public dock, regard
lews of the location. The location
will probably be the sticking
point with a number of people,
some holding that the dock
snould be where the Strand is,
near the foot of Cowlitz street!
while others want it at the foot
of St. Helens street, and still
others who suggest the foot of
Willamette street. The Cowlitz
street location is in litigation and
no doubt will be for some time
yet. If that litigation should
finally result in favor of the city,
after that it would take quite a
long time to get the buildings
removed and the place made
suitable for docks. The St. Hel
ens street location is only a block
from Cowlitz street and when
me post cilice is moved to its
new location, would only be a
trifle more than one-half a block
from the post office and only c
block from what is now the busi
ness portion or tne city. St.
Helens street is !).r feet wide,
while the other streets are 80
feet wide. The bluff at the foot
of St. Helens street furnishes an
ideal site for a double deck dock,
if necessary, or a single dock
either. The Willamette street
ocation is a little too far re
moved from the business part of
town and would be more expen
sive to build. So it would seem
that St. Helens Btreet would be
the logical place for the dock,
but whatever the location, the
building of the dock is the im
portant question and that should
be decided favorable regardless
of the location.

The City of Salem was voted
dry at the recent election. The
City of Hainier met the same
fate at the same election. At
Salem the election board was ap
pointed by the County court. At
Rainier the election biard was
not appointed by the County
Court. The liquor men in both
places have started suit to have
the election declared void. At
Salem one of the principal reasons
assigned by them is that the
County Court appointed the elec
tion board. At Hainier one of
the principal reasons assigned is
that the County Court did net
appoint the election board. Pretty
hard to please some folks.
