It is surprising to see the number or men who "don't want it." vet are williiicr. really anxious to tnnke the sacrifice und serve in sonic position in the municipal government of this city for the iiuxt venr. Where there are so tunny willing to make this sacrifice the electorate should be uble to se ll n wimble set of officers. Pick out the bast regardless of whom they may be.

With a bank here daily ily deposits could be made, and the safety of funds, small or great amounts, would cause no solicitude. t The Oregon political heelers arc in n stew now. The president re fuses to appoint any federal officers so long ns the state hns only one representative at Washington. Senator Fulton, of the four to which the state is entitled, is the only man not under the ban. We pre sume the state will survive, but the political leeches are thankful the winter is so nearly over. The work being done by the Commercial Association is assum ing an iuiN)rtauce that excites com ment from both local ,aud outside sources. 1 he various local ques tions requiring attention are of in- teiestto every resident of M. Johns. That the work being done here by this .splendid organization is ap preciated is evidenced by the large attendance and rapidly increasing membership. Our citizens are be- gluing to realize that the association was brought into existence for other than iK.TS.mel aims; its platform is broader than that, it encompasses every Interest, every proositiou which lias for its object the material benefit of this city. No legitimate scheme, origuate where It may, suggested bv whom it may be, finds a hearty and united effort from ALL the iiiemiRirs of this associa tion. That its labors are effective one need only look at results. Still greater achivements are in rapid process of materialization, and many important things which would most likely have never been brought out, discussed, arc being investigated and exploited through the medium of this organization. Hvcry wide- it wake citizen of St. Johns should join this organization; concentrate their efforts, pull together with a single object in view, namely the upbuilding of this city and u still greater and wider range of good will Ik accomplished. Some weeks neon deal was closed for a 1700 fire fighting outfit. Hie fire hydrants have been in tK sition ready for use for some days. Wouldn t it be good policy to get the apparatus in ositiou, even in teinj)oriiry quarters, so as to nave it ready for use? If not, why not? Should a fire occur tomorrow, we'll guarantee steps would be taken the same day to get It here, in other words the threadbare stable door story would le revived.

'1 lie only elec tive officer from whom this will be required is the citv recorder, and considering the varied duties im posed, the maxium salary of $40.00 per month is no great allurement to a man who is competent to fill the position and devote .his whole time to it.

Why, what is it that we talked first, last, and all the time? Isn't it alxnit our grand harlxr, and our unequalled water front, our unre stricted transjKirtation facilities by rail and sea? Citizens, we cannot afford ot let this question slumber one minute longer. The location is a 'second ary consideration for we can trust wholly to the good judgment of our council. Of course, some heed should be given to the expert testimony of our city engineer, his practical sense tells him that Philadelphia street, by theway the only wide street in town, is the projer location for either the dock or a ferry, and that was unquestionably the intention of the founder of St. Johns. Phila delphia street is quite the center of the two original aooiuons, wun we very best grade to the river, and as mentioned above, 'a wide street lime hundred feet being the width.
