Three of our light weight citizens formed themselves into it cottitnittcc to inform tile Review that n move incut was on foot to .secure free tie livery of otir until, As we tinder stand the Inw it requires rt certain amount of revenue nt the post office to mala u petition therefor effective nntl this can only be evaded by itnuiexntion to our stthurli tip til river, our views concerning which tire oxpiossod elsewhere in this issue I ala ft 1 a 1 lie commercial cltiD met in ret,' tilar session Wednesday evening a the club room's. There was no such mi attendance ns the import mice of thnt body deserves. To be .sure n In rue number of the members are away on vacation, and at this time of the year nil the members feel more or less lazy and tinambi tious, just like other people; but this club is, or should be, the main spring to the advancement of St Johns and the rooms should he crowded every meeting night Tlieie are a number of very im portant matters to be taken UK by the club as soon ns iiossible and out boys should eel into line with a stiff backbone and plenty of nihil nitiou for 11 vixotous ciiintsiign. I here was it rotten deal biought to our attention Friday evening' where a yotiiiK man, a mere boy wtts beastly drunk; leelinir ami fall lug in the stteet, with his .sister beside him crying as if her heart would break. If the tieople want Ntilooim here and will vote them in, we are willing they should have them good ami plenty until they are satisfied Ik-cmisc we can't help it; hut if a saloon man has no more sense or manhood than to sell liquor 10 minors, much or little, nothing would give us mote plcastiic than to see him given the limit of the law, and theie is not a citi.eu in the town worthy of the name "citi zen" who would not In iui; sticli a criminal to justice if within his power. Of cottise the saloon man will say he tlid not sell to n minor. that some one entitled by age to make the purchase did so and gave it to the bow If such be the cttse it will Ik- much to the saloon-keep er's K"d. if he can piove that fact, lo.voluntaiily do mi. It is bail enough to sill the stuff to it full giown limit who lms no mote sense than to make a bog of himself by tiling too much at it lime; but when it comes to making stteli men out of Innocent mid ignorant boys, it is going the limit, and conies mulct the Ihiii of the law, wheie it is the itniHiintivc duty of every decent oituon to line no omsittituity to bring the offeudei to justice. Autnt the gas franchises which 1 , f . nave 1 teen cousineiisi tor m) mug 11 Kiriod that if it was not so siious it tptestion it would npciir a stand ing joke, we wish to ex pun an opinion, let it lie worth much or filtl. and auk our tenders to eaeh consider the matter for himnclf mid a.HMt to the oilincihiivn at t licit convenience their opinion on the subject during the coming week. Wo have three fiuuchiho. Iiefote tlie council.

Hut to tis.coitkidetiug it as II pieseittetl tor a pnvnte bust neat, iiutiMieiiou netwecu the gas company and muscit, we would consider the last one presented, Known hs me imvidor lianchike, as fur superior to the othets.

Don't be a Knocker. Hury your hammer so deep that nothing but the trumpet of the angel Gabriel will ever disturb its rest. If you ever see or hear of anything that is wrong in the city instead of going to every new comer nnd filling his enrs with your tnlc of woe, go to the commercial club, the city coun cil or business men's association, when we get one, nnd mnke your spiel. It docs no good to stand orr the street corners nntl howl till they can hear you four blocks trying to advertise the fact that the town going to Davy Jones sixty seconds n minute, for it isn't. It is going the other way 24 hours n day, nntl if you don't hang on with you teeth you're going to gel left l here is not a better prosjiect lor n city ot n half million inhabitants in the state of Oregon or any other state. And this is not hot air. I is plain, cold facts. There is not finer site for such n city, there no better harbor 011 the Pacific coast, with n water front on three sides ot tt, with nil the immense products of the Northwest contril utory to its growth mid greatness all it needs is men with push am energy to shove n good thing nlong We have heard one or two of on good friends, we say good friends, because we like them and they are good fellows, but they have got off on the wrong foot when they pi tie up, "we must annex ourselves to Portland." It Is the worst folly ever tittered by n sensible, hart headed business man, and mikes us think we have misjudged such 11 one when we have estimated him as that kind of ti man. Who wants to lie the tail to a dog anyway? It would be better to pay twice as much for our facilities and conveu fences and have the control of them ourselves than to have a city leu miles away dictating what we slinl have here, where wh 11 a complaint goes 111 the compiainer will be dent and forgotten before action can be had on the complaint. Don't let any more of lis get the mistaken idea that annexation to Portland is a cure for our ills. Rend the Peo pies Press, edited by one of the btightest nnd best writers in the state, while you nte lendim: hav the gumption to lend between the lilies uiul see if you want to be tit against me same things thnt out- good btother is fighting agaitt mere.

I'n- less something better than bus been yet offered cutties to thu fore, we sincoicly Jtojie this last franchise may be successfully wsed to 1 co ord.

I hi, is the story thnt hns been old in. by two or tlnee lesiKiusible men wIioh verucity we know to be good. It ptesents 11 piohlcm our business men iniiM meet. The question is to meet it in the best Kiw.ibl iiiniiuor. Theie is 110 iiiHint nut our business men want all the business they can get. That is natui.il. It is also true that they cannot secine the trade of the Tiiulitnii farmers if they mind pay the feiiiage tif 5 cents per and then drive from St. Johns to Port land to dispoo of their iiioducc. Tliesv fanners, we believe .should Ik. gtvui the preference over the I M.J . a v iiiiiuuifii wuo nut me local gul dens, for the letuou that the former Hie tierimiuciit citizens mid their uiouey will be spent in St. John if they nte isitrouued, while the chink and other toieigu gardeners soon ns they have acqtiiied u suffi cient sum tosatihty them, letiiiu to their own country and spend their money there, doing this country no good, We Micve it would be well for our Coiuiueicial club to take this matter up vigoiously and endeavor to seeuie a meeting of lepiesentn lives of lliee good funnels and the litisittess men of the city and see if some definite ariangeiueiit cannot be made to handle their piodtiets. The Iruits, vegetables, dairy and poultry products coming fteslt fiont the fauns are much inoie desirable lliuit tlutoe which me shipiHsl from outside Ihiotigli the commission houses of Pottlmul. as some of the vegetables on the market hete have denioiihttated. l.et us then get in touch with our ftieuds on the other side of the tidge and uive them a meeting them halfway The .6th nnnttnl catnloguc of the Oregon state fair, to be held nt Salem September 1 6th to 21st in clusive, reached our table too late for notice last week. It is a work of nrt, beautifully illustrated, prin ted on fine book paper, neatly bound with nn unique binding, con tains too pages and as few typo graphical errors ns will be found in any high class publication of today. Altogether, it is another Inttrcl to the fame of Willis S. Dutiiwny, our state printer. The list of premiums cover n very wide range of subjects and everybody nnd his girl should find .something therein to attract nu exhibit. r Collier's was recently patted on the back, called "sick 'em," "good boy," and any number of other pet names, indicating 11 most hearty commendation of n series of nrticles exposing n number of quack medi cines the composition of which was principally alcohol in some form, mid the temperance people were es pecially delighted. Now the laugh seems to be on the other side, how ever, because of an extended article from the pen of Samuel Hopkins Adams expo-itig to criticism some of the tending religious journals of the nation for printing advertise meuts of quack doctors nnd fake remedies, among them the Central Christian Advocate, Christian Ku denvor World, the Cumberland Presbyterian, Ilaptist and Reflector, and others. I he only sale way to do is to cut nil such ads from our lists, and this will be the policy of this p.iier ns soon as present con tracts expire. One of the most imtierative ne cessities to the successful business life ol 11 city is good streets. This is more emphatically the case with reference to the main streets lead ing into the city from the territory tributary thereto. I here arc two or tlnee of our streets which need attention very badly, mid noire more than does Philadelphia street. THE CITY DADSJN SESSION Council Meets Tuesday Evening and Transacts Its Usual Budget of Municipal Business claim nnd for the We have been told that the grade will be too steep for the transporta tion of heavy loads, which might be tine if the street should bo sim- ily smoothed over; but if the grade le made even from near thecitv hall to the top of the (). R. ffc N. grade, the surplus soil removed from the city hall patk mid higher places along the stteet mid dropied in the low places, wo are positively of thu opinion that a 7 tier cent grado or better may be obtained. Then a substantial dock should be erected the full width of the street, even if a small dockage charge became nec essary in onler to pay inteiost. but t should not. With this dock giv ing easy ttccess to the city, the in crease to the business of our mer chants, the shipping facilities, the ptcittlgc of St. Johns as 11 business toiiil would cause the most pessi. inihtlc knocker in thecitv to wonder why it was not done years nuo. Now that our city engineer has r.-sigucd, ' bin successor should be innnetl nt I the oailiest possible moment so 111111 wueu 111e.se mutters come up theie may be no delay in putting them thiough. I.et us have this fine avenue connecting the heart of the city with the outside world im- noved as quickly us possible mid thus iciuove one of the worst him- liciMM for doing business in St. ohns poor facilities for handline merchandise in largo quantities. (Continued from page t.) Communication from City Engineer Goodrich presenting full 5 per cent commission on nil of both the Yotingferdorf Lrook & Walton contracts was read and the matter was referred to . the finance committee, who were to consult with the city attorney nnd ascertain the custom in such cases. Resignation of City Engineer Goodrich to take effect when the city hall was completed was read, and the office was declared vacant by the mayor to take effect when this work was finished. Mr. Goodrich's claims against the city were referred to the finance committee with instructions to endeavor to secure satisfactory settlement ns enrty ns possible. Attorney Dey appeared in behalf of Mr. Goodrich, giving tnc council until the first of September to adjust these claims. 1 ho matter of an appropriation for oiling the streets came up and nfter an extended discussion between the council nnd the gentlemen representing the Portland Street Oiling Co., on motion of Walker, the proposition wus turned down, all voting, No, except Counciltucn Ifrati cis and Wnlker.

Doran in the Review of August 2, I take exception to your remark that "only that class of people who are exten sive novel readers and hnve imbibed strange ideas concerning a 'glorious death can find an excuse for him." and would like to say that I am one of the many Telegram readers who consider that the above mentioned hero met a "glorious death," and I certainly have never been an "r.x tensive novel reader" and hope I have not "imbibed" many "strange ideas." Moreover, instead of being "held responsible in the world to come," I believe the Judge of all the earth will have only smiles of satis faction and a cordial welcome as Captain Doran steps up to the great white throne.
