CORRKCT STATKMKNT.
If some iconic were to he yiven
tun dollar tfold pieces, fresh from
the mint, they would question their
genuineness, nnd kick because they
were not double eagles. The
Wcyerhati.sor Co. has decided to
locate here, of itself a hlg thing, n
gigantic enterprise, but, of course,
there had to be some kick about it.
The one most prominent is to the
effect that this big addition to our
Industrial enterprises will not be of
much benefit to this city because
the company runs its own stores.
This is incorrect; the Weyerhatiser
Co. do not run "company stores, '
nor deal in any kind of commodities
necessary for living. The company
has nil it can do to run its mam
moth lumber manufacturing busi
ness, and has no time for the mer
cantile business. We nre assured
by men who have been connected
with this company font number ol
years that any fear along this line
is entirely unwarranted nnd ground
less. r
WHAT IT MUANS.
rants shall be issued for any pur
pose, except ajainst special assess
ment funds, unless the money is in
the treasury to pay such warrant.
At the last meeting of the council
a resolution was adopted appropri
ating money! for certain purposes,
for which no special assessment
funds had been provided. War
rants were ordered drawn for $2,
2oo and $1700 respectively.
The objects for which the war
rants were ordered drawn arc com
mendable ones; things the city
needs and must have, but wc must
confine ourselves to the require
ments of the charter and follow it
strictly in letter a well as in spirit.
Tho charter declares that all ac
tion taken by the council, contrary
to its provisions, shall he null and
void. To remedy this action of the
council a special assessment should
be made at once, and the money se
cured for the purposes for which
it was intended. This will obviate
all trouble in the matter, nnd en
able the city to make the desired im
provements nnd still fulfill the let
ter of the law.

CHARTER ANGLES OBTRUDE,
I here has never wen a city char
ter deviled that did not contain
angles against which the unwary
did not run. The city charter of
St. Johns is 110 exception to this
rule, nnd the members of the council
have found themselves striking the
angles.
The charter provides that no war-
lliese relay races lctveeti the
youngsters proved very Interesting
last year, uud it is hoped that the
enthusiasm among the small hoys
will be as great, if not greater, this
year. University Park, Couch and
