BENNETT BROS., Props, ST. JOHNS OYSTER HOUSE 1 1 1 Jersey Street. Pithy Paragraphs from our Corrcj. pondent at Salem. One of the greatest ambitions of the present legislature is to put the governor in a hole. It is an un worthy ambition, and what is more It is not likely to be successful. A million dollars is quite an in significant amount of money in the eyes of the present legislature. The senators nt Salem carried out the wishes of the people by compelling the railroads to Issue passes to all the state officers in stead of passing a bill making it unlawful to issue passes to any one. That is one way of carrying out the will of the people. The present speaker is compelled to do more explaining than any other man who has occupied the chair. Ilttt his explanations do not explain after all. Large appropriations are demand ed for additions to the asylum, the existing buildings being overcrowd ed. Instead of granting these appropriations it would be much more .sensible to nave the present patients examined by a competent committee in order to weed out those who should be on their farms at home and not in an insane asyl um. Aud there are numbers of that class there. flic legislature has introduced a bill to compel railroads to carry its members wherever they wish to go free of charge. Why not compel barbers to shave them free of charge? One would be as teason able as the other. A bill to increase the pay of Mute ulhcials from si to finter dav has been before the senate. They should first prow that they earn a day before they ask for $10. The members of the house began I their work well by cutting off a kntiuihcr of useless clerkships, but 1 as predicted they have broken out 1 as usual, for a resolution has been' passed which allows the committee to employ all the clerks they see fit. riie attempt to alter ourprimary law docs not tnecV with fnvor of our junior senator, Hon. Jonathan I Ion rue. In writing to a friend on the subject he says: "I certainly hope that no change whatever will be made in the primary law. It is in good smith: as it stands, aud any 1 alteration would probably impair its usefulness, To my mind it is of the utmost importance that the pri mary law should be allowed to stand without amendment, nt least for the present," The woman suffrage committee presented n resolution to the house requesting that this question should again be submitted to a vote of the people at the next election. Mrs. Duuiway contended that if the legislature would do this, it would save the suffrage society a few hun dred dollars in the way of prepar ing petitions themselves, but out of courtesy to these misguided women quite a number of anti-suffragists voted for the resolution, and yet it only passed by one vote the vote of Frank Davcy, who is always ready to turn with the unit. When the same resolution came to the senate, it was overwhelmingly de feated, clearly showing bow the country stands on female suffrage. The fact is the voters are sick and tired voting down this proxsitioii, and if it ever comes up again it will be snowed under by 35,000 votes, The result of its working in the Mormon inhabited states of Idaho, Utah, Colorado and Wyom ing arc not such as to induce the electors of Oregon to put their necks in the noose. SUSPENDED After' he Told the Truth in His Paper A Missouri editor recently an nounced that just for one issue he would tell the truth. Here arc a few items from that issue: John Honin, the laziest mer chant in town, made a trip to Ikllc- villc yesterday. joitn noyie, our groccryman, is doing a poor business, His store is dirty and dusty and notoriously odoriferous. How can he expect to do much ? Rev. Styz preached Sunday night on gossip. The sermon was punk. If the reverend gentleman would live up a little closer to what he preaches he would have n larger congregation. Dave bonkcy died last Sunday at his home in this place. The doctor gave it out as heart failure. I lie fact is that he was drunk. His home was a rented shack on Rowdy street. He has gone whence no rowdies return, and he has abun dant company. Married, Miss Sylvia Rhodes nud James Cauahau, last Saturday evening, at the Ilaptist parsonage. The bride is a very ordinary town girl who does not know more than a rabbit about cooking and never helped her mother three days in her life. She is not a beauty by any means, aud has a gait like a fat duck. The groom is well known as an up-to-date loafer. He has been living off the old folks all his life aud doesn't amount to shucks. They will have a hard life while they live together and , the News has no congratulations to offer, for we don't believe any good can come from such a union. It is needless to say that the issue in wit ch the Missouri editor told the truth was the last he ever made. M. L. HOLUROOK C. E. BAILEY St. Johns Land Co.

Last Monday a contract was let to cut the timber off of Cedar Park, and the intention is to plat it into residence lots. The park consists of ten acres of laud within the loop in the .southeastern part of the city. It is said to be owned by the Port land General Hlectric Co. For several years it has been opened during the summer for picnics and dances. The only improvements consist of a tumble down pavilion and a few crude benches and tables. The entire tract is covered with stately fir and cedar trees, aud one of the handsomest parks could have been made. The Review is unable to learn any of the particulars. The Woolen Mills Soon to Put Two Shifts nt Work. Supt. Ilishop of the woolen mills informs The Review that the mill will soon he operated day and night.
