OKEOON NOW HAS PARTNER, St. Johns Lumber C'inpaiiy tins Alndc n Change. l?or several weeks rumor has tie dared that the St. Johns Lumber Comjwny or, as it is better known, the Douglass mill was about to m.II its holdings, and that A. S. Douglass was to retire from active work This rumor wus largely unfounded although a change wns contem plated, Mr. Douglass has !een very anx ious to withdraw from the clerical and financial part of the IuiiiIkt business, and he was looking for u partner who would relieve him of the vast responsibility which so large u business forced tton him, Daniel Hrecht, who is well-known by utl the older citizens of St. Johns, has just bought an interest with Mr. Douglass and has already assumed direct management of the concern. He is well-fitted for the business: Is a careful, conservative business man in all ways: and has a large acquaintance in this city and the surrounding community. The company will continue so far as yet made public under the old name, and Mr. Douglass will continue to keep busy as of old. It is the intention of the firm to enlarge the plant and add new machinery to the equipment as rapidly as the trade will justify. The fears expressed by some that one trust would secure control of both the St. Johns Lumber Com pany and the Cone Lumber Com pany and then close them both was wholly groundless, as may be seen by this issue of Tub Rrvikw. Business is brisk and to all appear ances this mill will continue to do its share of business and still hustle for more. Will Celebrate. Next Monday at Cedar Park it Is exnected that several thousand laboring men of Portland will cele brate "labor day ' with a day ot festivities. Arrangements are being made on a large scale for this affair and the carline is looking for a very heavy traffic. Governor Chamberlain and other notable men are scheduled for speeches and the exercises are programmed to commence at eleven o'clock. Refreshments are to be served by the several unions partici pating. Games, races, music and dancing will be in profusion till a late hour In the night.

XosiKiner w.is tbi list of iliiuoud offences re.ul than Mr. Hriee pro dttcetl a set of riMilutions favoring the suspension of . II. King and I1. J, Peterson and asked its adop tion. The?e resolutions otdered City Attorney Greene to bring charges of im jx-aclnnctit against the accused within Ave days nnd stipulated that the defendants must plead, demur or answer within five days later. Moved by Mr. Shields and seconded by .Mr. Jvu wards that the resolutions be adopted. Mr. Peterson lelieved that no second had leeu made to the motion because he considered .Mr. Iidwards not a member of the council: but Mr. Leggett, who is president of the council, arose to put the ques tion. There was a bit of movement at that time as to Mr. Leggett s right to act as head of the board but he declared that he was presi dent of the c0111n.1l and had the right to assume control at such a time. Shields, Hriee and Iidwards voted yes: Peterson, Liudquist and iliompsou no; and Mr, I.eggett announced the question carried. Without doubt Mr. Peterson had no right to voje in a matter of his own personal interest but he fol lowed a recent precedcilt. Mayor King then questioned Mr, I.eggett s right to the chair and Attorney Oglesby Young declared that, ac cording to the charter, a removal could le made only by a 5-7 vote of the council. lie considered the action of the board null and void: no specific sworn 1 barges had been made: anyone could rcjeat rumors but unless they were substantiated by an affidavit they were worthless. Attorney McGarry then stepped to the front as an advocate of C. D. He considered the matter too trivial 1 X to fool uwuy time over: Iidwards, I. ...I ..!.. t.l. I .

Mr. McGnrry said if it was put he should insist that Mr. I.eggett act s moderator. The question was not put. There was quite .1 bit of sharp legal sparring iiiiii augiiu proved His elegibility to a seat "in the Until war-r-r-d" by his mental activity. Finally Mr. I.eggett declined it was time the council did biisiue.vs. Mayor King said that no legal business could be done with Mr. Iidwards in the council: Mr. I.iud quist .said he'd vote "no" 011 every question brought up: and Mr. Mc Garry declared that he should advise Mr, Iidwards to vote on every question, In the mutter of having Attorney Greene press the matter niMiusl Mayor King and Councilman Peter son it was decided to change the word "iuijisachiiient" to 'charges J and specifications." Mr. Hriee said he came to the JJ meeting to transact regular business J; but lie didu t see how they could do it unless they put away the rag chewing till the close of the meet ing. It wns decided that bids should le called for sidewalks utKin Oswego street: but the matter was carried over till the next meeting although a new resolution must bo adopted to have grading done. Report was received upon the new street from Hraasch's addition to Jersey strest. Messrs. Hiiimau, Leonard and Stearns were made a committee to appraise the matter of the continua tion of Gresham street. Mr. Hriee returned the new dock crowded idmost to its capacity with freight which is allowed to remain by owners, and the council will pass an ordinance to charge demurrage on all sticlt goods not removed within a brief season. Resignation of J, Henry Smith, city engineer, received and accepted with regret. His resignation was accompanied by plats, plans, field notes, etc, worth several hundred dollars. W, W. Goodrich was apjKjinted as his successor and the council ratified Mayor King's ap pointment. Matter of the new ferry franchise was deferred to adjourned meeting.
