Primary Department Booster, Carl Nelson, superintendent of the Junior Christian hudeavor leairue of the United F.vangelical church, has inaugurated a novel nlan to interest his little tots iu the work of their society.

A record is keM 011 a card showing the number of each kind of leaus deoosited. together with the num ber of pennies brought to junior meetings. These earns are tacicen upon the wall at the end of each month, and a suitable reward given for a clear record. We believe this is the best method to encourage good behavior and attendance we have known for either junior or Sunday school pri mury pupils, and give it the prom inence here we think it deserves.

The city lawmakers were in evi dence at the regular session last Tuesday evening, everyone being present and full of business. There was 110 time lost and the session held until after the witching hour. Minutes of last meeting read and approved as read, which caused our genial friend Dobic, recorder pro tern of that meeting, a sigh of re lief. The first thing on the program was a petition of the citizens along Gilbert street asking that said street be improved from Fesscuden street to St. Johns nventie, signed by L. M. Fastman ct al., which was ac cepted on motion of Alderman Ra ser nnd referred to the street com mittee by the mayor. Application of L. Richards for renewal of liquor license was received and referred to committee on liquor licenses. Claim of Acme Lumber company against the city with petition for issue of warrants to cover a certain number which were stolen in a burglary committed nbout a year ago, accom panied by a bond in the sum of TG.ooo to indemnify the city against any loss which might possibly occur by this issue of the warrants. The amount covered by the stolen war rants is $ 2,983. 1 1 . The matter was referred to the committee 011 finance with power to act, there being some changes necessary in the bond. Communications were next in or der, the first of which was from the Norn's Lock & Safe company bear ing sccilicntioiis of four cells for the new jail in the city hall build ing mid the price of same, -ttod.s. There were others giving practically the same Sccificnliotis except as to the material from which they weie constructed, the prices in other in stances being 5535 "d S505. In the first instance the cells were to be constructed ol Ilesseiuer steel; iu the latter the material was either not staled or was of wrought iron, which probably explains the di (Ter ence iu the prices. On motion of Alderman King the matter, with the bids, was referred to the build ing committee with power to make the purchase. Aldermen Liudquist and Dobic voted no, all others yes. Communications from Architect Goodrich were received, icferring to balance claimed due to lvtigiueer Goodrich and to the payment ol outstanding bills, read and placed 011 file. The following bills were, on mo tion of King, allowed nnd warrants ordered to cover sa,,-e: Potter & Goold, material $.15.25 II. C. Pencil, labor 011 doors .1.25 A. Jensen, labor on doors .1.25 J.

Davidorf, representing the St Johns Light tc Heat com pany, presented and explained the purposes of his gas prohibition. The matter was referred with the other gas franchises under consid eration to the committee 011 light mid water, and all held over for further investigation. Referring back to communica tions, that of A. J. Capin, with ref- rence to vault doors, was discussed and the entire matter of these doors was referred , on motion of Alder man Kim;, to the building commit tee, with power to purchase said vault door, and carrying the pro vision that the door already placed lie changed at a cost of if 10, Mavor Couch then stated that our euterprisiui' caucus were max iug life a burden lor him oil the weed question, and 011 uio'iou of the member from Clackamas the or diiiauce on this matter was taken from the table and after a lengthy discussion was redrafted mid rail roaded through to meet the emer gency, passing with an unanimous vote of the council 011 motion of Alderman Leggett. A copy will be found elsewhere iu this issue. The garbage question again came up and was discussed and incident ally cussed, mentally, by the city fathers and their chief, Mayor Couch, but nothing definite was settled upon. The proofs of the new issue of charter and ordinances were pre scnted and a committee consisting of the city attorney and recorder was appointed to proof read the same. The skating rink ordinance was taken from the table and after a prolonged discussion motion of Al derman Walker to make license 5,15 for second and third quarters and $35 for first and fourth quarters was lost then motion to make the license 25 ier quarter straight carried. The ordinance was then railroaded through and made fiua rmmmmamwmmmmmmmmmmmwmm m i o I rUmllrim I SHOES We carry much the largest stock of shoes in St.Johns.

Mr. Ksson also remarked that there was just about enough money on baud iu this fund to pay off all the claims against it. We feel like congratulating tlie city council on the careful and economical maimer iu which they have handled the affairs of tlie city.

Tlie St. Johns second team, ItttUfr known as the llreakeis, hied tliHiu selves to historic Vancouver Sun day and crovMsl baU with Lieut. Reagan's soldier bunch of hall lo sers. Kverylhiug was lovely until the fifth inning, each hide had a score to their credit, and the game promised to be 1111 exceedingly in teresting one. Hut "far be it from such." At this stage of tlie kuihw the Hreakers were attacked with a bad case of "butter fingers." tad almost everything that was knocked out slipied through the fielder' hands. For a time they could neither catch or tlnow, and the sight was rather discourngiug fur the faithful little bunch of looter that accompanied the local club to the battle fields Xoreue pitched game for the Hreakers that should have won, but his supiwit w simply awful to behold. The score at tlie end of nine rounds stood 15 to 3, iu favor of Uncle Sam's war riors. Meeting of the Pioneers. A few pioiic rs met iu the raid ing room yesterday.
