The county authorities played a
scurvy trick on lis when they swoop

the slot machines they could Hud in

One of our good friends who
visits us every day from the bin
city with its usual accuracy charges
St. Johns council with favoring tin
highest priced gas franchise The
fact is the Davidor franchise, which
is the fairest yet offered, is really
cheaper than the Purse franchise,
but it will not be a Portland affair,
which crhaps accounts for the fly
in the ointment with our big neigh

What did you say about Philadel
phia street? We don't want to
have to take a wheelbarrow mid
shovel and do the work ourselves.
Come, now, fellows, lend us a
hand, let us have this fine street
improved. II we lived oil that
street we would have it improved
if we bad to go over to Linnton nnd
get some of the rustlers there to
come mid help.
There has been a gteat deal of
talk about our pcojilc going over to
Portland to do their trading. One
of the greatest inducements to lead
the jicople to do this is not to ad
vertise in your home paper. A
number of our advertisers asked us
to come out twice a week. We
agreed to do this provided the ml
vertisiug htipiHirl justified us in
making the venture. We visited
nearly every business house in the
city, and all seemed pleased with
the prosK.'ct mid promised good
suppoit, or the most of them did
s ). We gained annul 20 iter cent

first three weeks. The last two
weeks there has been a steady de

As soon as tlie decks were cleared tor action tltc mayor called tor
the gas franchises in order to release the representatives of the different
frachises in time to get a car back to the city.
The F. L. Purse franchise was first read, but elicited no comment.
Then the Davidor franchise was taken up and read, carefully discussed
by sections and passed its first reading, and on motion of Uobie was
laid 011 the table until next meeting. 1 here will be another readme at I

mis view is uikch uy ine council iinu win mereiore give me main puuus
of the franchise stripped of its legal verbiage:
The franchise gives S. H. Davidor permission to use the streets of
St. Johns for a jicriod of 25 years for the purpose of operating gas mains
and laterals to all residence, business and other properties, for which
the meetliiL'q. thev should hnve the franchise Mr. Davidor, heirs, executors and assigns must pay the city

themselves in a decent and decorous 5000, $300; between 5000 and 10,000, $350; between f 0,000 and 15,000,
f.joo: between is, 000 mid 20,000. .5o; between 20,000 and 25,000,
S.soo: between 25,000 mid 35.000, $550 per milium, which is to be the
maximum price during the life of the franchise.
The price for the gas to consumers is to be $1.45 per 1000 feet until
the population reaches 4000: between 4000 and 5000, si. 40 per 1000I
feet; between 5000 and 10,000, -f 1.30; between 10,000 and 15,000, $1.25;
between 15,000 mid 20,000, Si. 20; between 20,000 and 25,000, $1.15;
iug, and these reports may have
been garbled as such reports olteu
are, but the fact remains that if
boys or men have their curiosity
so aroused that they will attend
maimer while there. The worst
feature of the affair as we view it
is that the jieople carrying on the
meeting were too stupid to take

READ ALL ABOUT IT
This property is one of the finest pieces of land iti the city mid any one
looking for an ideal home or a good investment cannot afford to pass it by. The
property is admirably located, being one block from the city hall, two blocks from
the street car station and three blocks from the postoffice, in the heart of the city.
There is a substantial frame dwelling of five roonn with wood house, etc., on the lot and mi abun
dance of fruit for family use, including pears, plums, pi tines, quinces, grapes, currants, cherries

The price of this property today is (3500
Tomorrow it will be $3490, and each day thereafter for 28 days, unless taken, the price will drop
$10 per day. Compared with other property in St. Johns the property is cheap at $3500. Don't

A Bonfire Picnic.
The Ashbys, Greene's, Taylors
mid their friends to the number of
37 gathered 011 the river bank near
the foot of Pessenden street, mid
enjoyed all the felicitous ex peri
euces of 11 bonfire picnic mid moon
light boat ride Wednesday evening.
It was n lovely night, mid they had
11 lovely time, with it most delicious
1 ecu. 1 ue moon was not nan 11s
full as they were (with fun) and
they played drop the handkerchief
mid other games in which all the
kids from six to sixty joined, mid
the light was just strong enough
from the young moon to enable the
boys to distinguish their best girl
from her mother, mid thus avoid a
serious mistake when they thought
of something particularly nice to
whistier on the side.
The best joke of the evening was
on the older part of the bunch,
who, when they took their boat
ride, were saluted by the wake of
between 25,000 and 35,000, $1.05 tier 1000 feet, which is to be the
minimum price of gas during the life of the franchise unless a lower
price is voluntarily made by the company.
In addition to these payments, concessions, etc., the gas company
will supply the city hall gas for heating and lighting free of cost. The
franchise is properly protected on the part of the city by good and suffi
cient bond of $10,000 by the gas company, all the city's rights are pro
tected in the usual way, and the quality of the gas is established at 565
Ilrllish thermal units mid 24 caudle power.
The company is to place the gas in the houses to the meter, furnish
the meter free, furnish all gas ranges and heaters at actual cost to be
paid for in installments if so desired, to have the plant in operation so I norntion ?
