St. Johns (lrcadiess Assured The (inlewny of Commerce. The follow! 111: is taken from the N)okk't recently issued, and is so pertinent that we jirmt iwlow: At St. Johns will be located the greater portion of the future man ufacturing industries of the City of Portland. The nubstaiitiul growth of the husiucrts interest of the place during the lust thirty mouth Is conclusive evidence of the ecu liar desirability of the place for man ufiieturing and commerce. Port land h by far the largest city in the State of Oregon. It has at leant ten times the population of any other city in tiie state. Its annual incrcat-c in population is pruhabty lrrcatcrlhun the entire nicsmil pap ulation of any ohei,,lHy In the state, It in lite center 01 liw larg est belt of merchantable liuilwr Irt the woild. It U the greatest job bing center on the North Pacific Coast. It has InlMitary to it by ivutor itiiiIl' 1111 iilmixt ttnlliuitcd empire, sunkicnt to produce a city ot enormous population and weniui. The most iinixirtant pnrt of the couunercial interests of the city will be Included In its manufiictur ing and sliipping enterpries. The greater pan of -thine institutions must come to St Johiw. Indeed . there is no other nlace for them upon the Portland lmthor. At nil iwlutK excepting along Front street in tiie City ot I'oniaim iisen, wincn is now crowded to the utmost limit, the banks surrounding the Portland harbor ore either too low for econo mical construction of buildings or else too hiirh and precipitous to be available from the river. No other ivtlnt mi the Poitlaud harbor has deep river channel, breadth of bar lor, rail facilities or sclid river bank of proper elevation on which to build mills and factories econo mically.

Its harbor is large enough to accommodate at anchor an enormous fleet, while the Pot t laud harbor is now overcrowded. But a few hundred feet of the avail nlili- fmntiH'e of St. Toluis has ns yet been occupied by the industries which have been locaieu mere. These industries have produced a considerable population. The town has as a resource to insure its fu ture growth a long stretch of still unused water frontage capable of furnishhlg employment to a popula tion of 40,000 people. In addition to the frontage 011 the Willamette Uiver there is the Columbia Slough, which parallels the Willamette one and one-half miles to the north, and bounds the town on that side, which is now available to river 1 transportation, and which aloiu , will some day furnish mill and fac- tory sites sutlicient tc uuuu a wwh of many thousand people. The Nortnern Pacific railroad has ex tended its line to Vancouver, Wash ington. It has obtained from con gress authority to build a bridge Hie Columbia River from ili the intention of iiltintti teW flhandonimr its ferry ntvnitinfT 1ctveeii Kalaina and Goble, and using this bridge for nmn nc its trains into tlte llty 01 Portland.

A meeting of a semi-public character was held at the city hall Monday evening. About fifty pco j)le were present, a half score or more as spectators and not as sym pathizers or participants. Caples called the meeting to or der and Green was elected chair man. After a desultory discus sion as to the objects of the meet ing, J. R. Rnilton was chosen sec retary. Mr. Orcan then stated the obicct of the meeting to be to get the peo ple organized for the discussion of public matters,, such as the charter, the park matter, etc. I Ie also stat ed that the charter had been "changed in cusenlial points since its adoption at the mass meeting." T. T. Parker was called on and said the charter was all right. That he was a member of the Com mercial Club committee and in con nection with a number of promi nent citizens had gone over the chatter carefully and was certain that it contained nothing not for the best interests of the city. Mr. Shields thought a majority of the people should pass on the chatter, and offered the following resolution, which at a later slagc of the meeting was adopted : Vhercn. A former meeting for the consideration of the proposed cltattcr for the City of St. Johns was held without giving sufficient notice thereof to tlte citizens and rwidents of said city, and Whereas. Such meeting was not n representative meeting of all classes of the citizens of raid city, now therefore, he it Resolved, That the proposed charter or raid city of St. Johns be rcjmlnniltcd to the people of said city of St. Johns for their action, and Hint five dnys notice of the time and place of such meeting Ik given by panting notices thereof throughout Mid city of St. Johns.

Mr. Awlenwii and others spoke n tl'c tame drain. Mr. Rnilton thought the people fchonld have had a chance at it.
