THE COMMON COUNCIL
The Old. nance granting a telephone
franchhe cutue up for dual couideration
at the council meeting last Monday
night, n d before tha matter was linally
settled t he mayor bad to cant the de
ciding vote. W. G. Poineroy,of hc
poose, who applied to the council for a
(ranchi-e at the same time as T. L.
Zipperer, withdrew hi application, so
there was but the one to consider.
W hen the ordinar.ee granting it came up
for final pAsHime Councilman Lake made
a motioa Unit it be amended to read so
that the City ol Si. Ilelem would rtcive
a gro'g eaiuiiiga lax fr lu the company.
Tbi-i'e win 110 Hecoi.d lo lil t motion, and
wh.-ii a final vote was had Council 111 en
D.ut and (iiick voted for the fiam-hiae
and Lake an I I'r-sli aiMiuat. Mayor
Miller cast the ileui ling vote for the
grantirg of il, and Mr. Zipperer will
begin work at once on an up to date
local syst. in, with a central ollhe and
exchange located somewhere In the
busiuesj part of town.
F:. A Hotgee wan given an irder for
the electric fixtures and work of in
stalling the suiue in the citylball. An
order for the furniture for the- council
chamber was given Jil'. Muckle A Sou.
Mr. Siixoii, who lives on the billon
Caaeliau street, appeared before the
cou.u il and objected lo the aaesmi nt

claiming Hint the teims of the petition
bad not been complied with, in that a
bain was still in the straet, at a point
very close to his front door. The
council promised to see to the moving of
the barn in the near future.
YANKTON-PI rTSBURG ROAD
Last Suiidiiy'sOlegonian devoted about
(wo columns of space to a description of
the fine new n ad uu w hich County Sur
veyor Preseott and t surveying crew" are
nowatwoik. The write up contains a
large map of the omity, and parts of it
that are of particular local interest are
given herewith :
W hat w ill undoubtedly be one of the
grandest roads in Oregon is the Port-land-Astoiin-I.eaches
Road, upon which
active work is now beljig ruthed by the
Columbia County and Clatsop County
road engine, ra. W'hen the road is com
pleted it will give a tine, smooUi, hard
surfaced boulevard connecting Portland
and the be.iches by automobile, the trip
requiring only a few hours. This is the
road fntheied by Lewis Ku-wll, a di
rector of tho Portland Automobile Club.
The read, though it mutt crosn sev
eral mountain taugc, will iiave a grade
ot 3 pei cent in Columbia County. In
C'lats.p Canity the amde will not be
much iu jie, except in 01 e or two pia.-es.
To make this easy climb pcsible, Co
lumbia County surveyors have 111.1; ped
out an almofet entirely different route
from Yunktou to Pittsburg. Removing
several hills of 15 and 20 per cent grade,
the rofld between the-e points will in ces-1
sarily be made a few miles longer, but
the low grade will permit a motor car to
make the added distance as easily as to
climb the hills.
Columbia County will build 24 miles
of road to make the new boulevard
possible, Clatsop County will contribute
more, while Multnomah County's roads
all the way to the Columbia County line
are in excellent condition. Columbia
County liaj regraded and graveled sev
eral miles of highway and work on the
remainder of the loud will be coLtinued

work on the road are not emits, the
rond will bo Completed by n"xt July,
thereby giving plenty of lime for the
late summer beach travel. Men are at
work id the Oats.. p end of the highway.

County's report of the road's progress w ill
be leady to submit to the County Court
iu January. In the 24 miles nl toad
mapped out, none will be more titan of
3 per ceut grade. This undertaking will
cost fiiO.OOO. Part of this large amount,
however, will be met by Individual sub
scriptions. One of the benetlts to be derived from
the boulevard i shown by the Western
Cooperage Company, of Portland. This
company own ninety million feet of
timber near Houlton, Columbia Couaty,
which it must remove within two years.
Tha company plans to transport the
timber on automobile trucks when the
road ia completed. This would reduce
the cost of getting out the timber, and
would also facilitate it removal. The
cooperage company, it is understood, is
willing to contribute its share of the
cost of thd highway. Another fiini, the
Trenholm Orchard Company which is
platting 1000 acres near Yankton, is
also willing to subscribe several thous
and dollar to the fund.
From Portland the road leads through
Llunton to Scappoose, and thence to St.
Helens, From St. Helen to Yankton
the road w as regraded and the grade re
duced. A mile and a half beyond the
road is now in good shape. At Yank
ton the road will branch off and a new
route following Milton Creek and nu
merous other little stream will be taken
until the top of the tidge is reached.
Tnis will make a 3 per cent grade all the
way. At the top ol the ridge connection
with the little Nehalem River Valley
will be made and this will be followed
until Pittsburg is reached.

Perhaps it is unknown to many cf
our citizens tho increase of the
population of the S:ate of Or
egon Has also urougnt an increase
in the number of dependents. This may
seem sirar.gn to those who are not
actually in the work but it if, neverthe
less, tiue. While it is true the increase
in population has uUo increased pro9
peiity, yet there is always a following of
dependent classes and institutions, who
care for this class, are bound to feel this
increase and the Boys' and Girls' Aid
Society of Oregon in making its annual
plea (or Thanksgiving donations wishes
to bring this fact before its many friends.
Columbia County has always been
one of the Society's best friends and the
Management depends on the geneiosity
of the citizens at this time of the year.
The County Court subcrib?s the sum of
$1 per month for its euppart.
The public schools are quite a factor
toward the maintenance of this in
stitution and at this time of the year
the chnritahle pnhlic, M well ns the
public tchool, are called Upon to
BHbcribe all they can afford for this
cause.
Four hundred and idnty-eix cases
were received and cared (or during the
pat year bv the Society. These
children rame from seventeen different
counties of tho State. Besides giving
a home the Society has, as quickly as
possibl, (ound permanent homes for
them in private families where they are
vitiited by the Society' agents in order
to ascertain il thev are receiving the
proper care and being sent to school
regularly. Thee held aKenti hive a
large amount of work to do and Super
intendent Gardner says they would like
to double this part of the force and
would do so if (nnd were available.
This field work ia very expensive to the
society but It is also very necessary for
besides visiting the five hundred chil
dren placed out in family homes the
agent also investigate cases ct neglect
and abuse that are reported to them and
if it were not for these investigators
many children would suffer hardship
snd degradation Vfithmit inteference.
The agents of the Society investigated
about two hundred of the-'O c.isi s during
the past year and prosecuted about Dfty
per cent.
The munageaieut nres all thoee who
have the welfare of the dependent
children at heart to subcribe whatsoever
they may be able to the good cause and
indeavor to make the delations to the
society fiom the public schools linger
than ever this year.
