John P. Drew Killed Near Here
Last Friday Night
Tbe body of Joh P. Drew waa sound
at an early boor Saturday morning oa (he
trail laliwa tbe Phillip Bra, quarry
and lloolton, a abort distance from the
Milton Cre-k bride, iUl a bullet bole
through the bead trust tpl to temple.
lie had (alien lorsrard with nia band
nder him, the right hand reatinfon a
SS-enliber rcvofw, one chamber ol
hich had bees discharged, while In one
ol hit hip pockets wis a 22-caliber re
volver with three empty chambers. Drew
waa yoaag aiaa of nineteen who came
to St. Helens from Salliran. Maine, two
year ago, tearing his mo' her in their

"would like to threw Johnny Drew Into
the riTcr." Knapp also, on tbe day ol
the atonler, wrote a postal card to Mias
Smith saying "I am having a good time
I and hope yon are tbe same." Drew had
, received several threatening yta) car's
j but bad dcatrored them. Ht was a snem
I bar ol tbe 1'aited Artiaana and on the
nigbt ot hi death had attended lodge
at Hoolti, and waa on his way home
when killed. The testimony at the in
quest threw some suspicion on Fred
Knapp and tbe aatborities here immed
iately proceeded to Investigate bis
.1
TO OUR COUNCIL.
( A blockmaker was arrested Sat
urday riiffht for drunkenness and
disorderly conduct He was put
in the city jail and, kept there
until released by due process of
law. He deserved what he got
and the ..Marsha! 13 to be com
4iehded for arresting him.
V, But is there one law for the
. work lnjpr.an 'who oversteps the
limit and another f or the sa!oon j
keeper?
The man arrested was too
plainly drunk for there to be any
dispute a? to his condition, and it
Is certain that he had been sold
Hquor while in an intoxicated con
dition. The law says that when
a saloon keeper sells liquor to an
intoxicated man the saloon keep
er's license shall be revoked. It
fa not necessary that the proof in
such cases shall be absolute; but
only that the council shall be
convinced.
f ' Saturday afternoon a man came
rreHnout of one of the saloons
with a string of obsenity pouring
fxork Ws Hps; but he went on his
way to another saloon, where he
procured more liquor.
X Do the saloons own the town
and can they do just as they
please, -while the working man
who goes beyond the limit is
thrown into jail?
It seems to us that the saloons
should at least take care of the
drunks and, keep them off the
street. The saloon men get "the
money, and if they do not have
to obey the law, and we admit
they dont, they might be kind
enough to d this as a favor to'
the community.

4 Parts of Clackamas and Wash
ington County may be annexed to
Multnomah as residents there
are agitatin? for that purpose,
believinj? that thereby they, will
secure Letter roads at the ex
pense of the metropolis. Col
umbia County is asking no aid
of its wealthy neighbor, but pro
poses to have good roads and
pay for them out of its own
treasury. Our taxable Wealth!
foots up $15,000,000, and is in-j
creasing yearly, and we have!
i I . r , , , . '
au auunuance oi ine oest ma
terial in the world for the con
struction of permanent high
ways. Our people are awake to
the fact that poor roads are the
greatest extravagance a commu
nity can be guilty of, and that
the only way to bring the farm,
nearer the city and to- settle up
the Bturno lands of the county i3
to vote special and general taxes !
for road purposes and then see j
that the money is wisely and
economically expended. We
have wasted hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in the past in
temporary work and on imprac
ticable grades; but the present
County Court is doing its best to
see that the taxpayers get full
vatue . for their money. Steel
bridges are taking the place , of
Bhdrt lived wooden structures,
wherever possible' fills are being
made instead of having" bridges '
