And Mayor Rushlight, is the
way they will say it in Portland
now. The election interested a
number of people here, and near
ly all wished to see Simon re
elected, as they thought that he
would run a cleaner and more
moral town than Rushlight The
government of a large city ma
terially affects the small towns
that are its neighbors.
Pull all together for the high
school. A new school building
is a necessity and why not make
it a good one and a credit to the
best town on the river? Talk it
up. Tell your neighbor and thus
do something for the rising gen
eration, and at the same time for
the property values of St Helens.
A first class school structure be
tween here and Houlton would
do as much to increase property
values as would an industry em
ploying a number of men.
September 16th. There will be
the usual high class speed pro
gram, and the best harness races
on the coast are seen at Salem.
Two of the purses are for $5,000,
and there are a number of other
large ones. Professor C. E, Lake
has charge of the exhibit from
this county to the State Fair and
also to the Astoria Centennial
Exposition, aud everyone who
has anything worthy of exhibit
ion should place it in his hands.
"Reduced Rates on all Roads"
is the way that the advertise
ments of the Rose Festival read,
but there has been a decided ab
sence of anything like a reduction
from here this week, and it does
not seem fair to this section if
they are getting lower rates else
where. During the past week it
ha3 been the same old eighty five
cents from Houlton to Portland
as formerly, and when we went
up the other day and did not get
there in time to get a ticket, the
conductor soaked us a ten cent
rebate jusf to show that the road
needed the money.
The premium list of the fifth
annual Oregon State Fair has
reached the Mist office and it is
bigger and more generous than
ever. There are prizes for every
thing either raised or manufact
ured on the farm. In all, the pre
miums on livestock, agricultural
and manufactured products am
ount to $16,000. The fair will be
held at the same old place, the
State Fair Grounds at Salem, and
during the week commencini
September 11th, and ending on
Don't forget that big celebra
tion at St. Helens on the Fourth
of July, and it seems that Mayor
White ha3 decided that it shall
be a sane Fourth. Who can crit
icise his action? Of course near
ly everyone has enough of the
kid in them to want to have a
little fireworks, but when the
terrible number of deaths that
result from explosives on the
Fourth is considered it seems as
though Congress should take a
hand and make the celebration
of the great national holiday the
same all over the United States.
Fireworks under proper super
vision in the evening is far bet
ter than the promiscuous use of
them in the crowds all day long,

sras attending to the matter of the city's
claim to the property in (ront of the
city ami particularly that at the foot of
Cvwliu Street The following order
was made try tfcs cosncll la regard to I
thia matter:
"The new building being constructed
at the foot of Cowl its Street was con
sidered. After discussion it was moved
that the Recorder be instructed to noti
fy Mr. V. A- Ilnrri', also P.lew anil
Mace, to remove the Raid building with
in five days from date of mid notice.
"The marshal i instructed to for
thwith arrest auy and all person who
begin to construct any buildings on the
Strand."
The petition of Mr. Dillard for permis
sion to baild dock at the foot of Wil
lamette Street was again taken up and
laid on the table.
A coiTimunic.-itton from Orrin Backux,
of Rainier, in regard losewars Was read
and discussed, and Mr. Keltey, of Port
land, was present to try to get the job of
engineer on a sewer system here, but
no action was taken.
The council also n.et in special session
on Tuesday afternoon and papers made
out by the City Attorney to be served
on the property owners on the Strand
, were considered and ordered served as I
jtnade out. The proclamation of the
.tmyor in regard 10 a sane rounu 01
July was considered and approved by
the members of the council.
The matter of the property on the
Strand and at the foot of the street,
has been nnder consideration for some
time snd it is time that it was settled in
one way or another. If it rightly belongs
to the city, than the city should get a
good title and if not then doubtless the
people who have used it for some time
and improved will be glad to get a clear
title to it and know that they are the
ondisputed owners.
YANKTON SCHOOL
The Yankton school closed Wednesday,
May Slut. On Sunday, May 24th. the
das sermon was delivered by Itev. De
Bord, of Houlton, to s large and appre
ciative andience. It wa an educational
sermon and full of excellent advice to
the pupils.
On Friday and Saturday nights, prog
ramme were rendered at the Grange
Hall. The Hall was beautifully decor
sted with the class colors, Bine and Gold.
The programme commenced at eight
o'clock each evening, and every pupil in
the school took part, and each and
everyone of them done their part in
way that was a credit to themselves and
their teachers.
The teachers of the Yankton school
during the psst term were Miss Myra
Bowman, primary, and C. E. Lake,
principal. Mr. Lake ha been at this
school for the past three years, and with
Miss Bowmrn gave the people of Yank
ton service that was more than satisfac
tory.
