To the lovers of law, order and decency, however, the dis patches will hrltiK gloom and evil forebodings. At the door of the V. F.

It is a i?atin that will stop at nothing to bring lawlessness Into prominence and it has done more harm to organi.cd labor than can be undone in a decide.

ANOTHER SYSTEM. WE fail to realize wherein any benefits would accrue to St. Johns by ntlowing another electric com pany to erect poles and string wires. If the Mt. Hood Electric Company desires to get to the front it should be willing to pay some thing for the privilege. St. Johns is a different proposi tion from what it was when the present company came in here and while the existing company gives a trifle for its rights here any new company ought to be forced to give something handsome. In all events no franchise should be. granted until satisfactory rates have been guaranteed the city. The ordinance shown by the com pany was far too loose in its con struction to ever make a success upon the city's part. The council should make its in vestigation upon the matter very deep because unless there shall be a big incentive for admitting a second company it would be better to keep it out. And, after nil, "the difference iu rates is but n clever manipulation of figures." HE GETS 'EM. ONLY a few weeks ago the Ore- gonian was scrapping the O. W. P. company in nice shajc. Every day was a roast, and every roast was a warm one. The great daily rought "for the people"? As no unfavorable mention to tne O. W. P. is ever made at this late date it is a foregone conclusion that the railway capitulated, ami made good for all demands. It may be a huge adveitising contract for the next season at "the oaks" or some little thing like that has been "dis covered" on the business manrtger's desk. Now it is the gas company tliat Is eettini' it in the iiImIoiiicii. For n few days the Oregonlan will show up evety bit of meanness it can un burv leuarding that windy money- grubber: then It, too, will grace fully bow to the daily's dictates. and the daily will, just as grace- fully, be stricken with petrifaction of the toasting digits! It is dangerous to monkey with a newspaer. T A MISTAKE. IT will be a much more difficult matter in the futuie to get new stieets oencd through the various tracts iu the city than it has been in the past. Petitions have leen rretMilaily signed and the city has been to considerable excuse only to find that the streets were not de sired by those to be lciicfittcd. No one should sigh a petition of any kind unless they are taxpayers and exited to Ite lieuefilted by what is sought. Men are apt to sign volitions merely to get rid of the presenter never reckoning upon hearing of it again. Oretdmin stieet will not be opened and the chances are that Chicago stieet will be but thirty feet wide. Women Of Woodcraft.

Mrs. Sophia Tufts, never liefore having been the proud intssessor of silverware, Invited the Methodist Ladies Aid society to her new home on Wednesday afternoon, iu order that they might enjoy the sight of a most elegant coffee set of lustrous silver which was a Christmas gift. Iu other words the Aid Society en joyed its regular meeting at the home of this estimable woman, who served delicious coffee, sandwiches pickles and cake iu abundance. A jolly afternoon, combined with business, was spent, and the guests reluctantly departed. The game of the afternoon was to ascertain who could talk the fastest, loudest and longest, culminating iu a noise like a sawmill. W. E.

Gee hadn't Imxii so mean on Sunday that his conscience wouldn't let him sleep he would not have driven away the men who built a fire amidst Paschal Hill's hay. And then Paschal Hill would have been minus one lot of hay. Gee is a pretty good old crank, anyway. It will not be necessary to go to the mountains or seaside for your heaith if you use the goods baked at the Boston Home Bakery. The flour we use is throughly ozonized. E II.
