And now there is good prospect of ft battle between the Russian hear rind Turkey. My, hut the "fodders" will fly! Here is hop ing they will both net "licked," they both need it badly enough. We tire sorry that we hnve been nccuscd of being dictatorial and radical in some of our recent ar ticles. We do not mean to be, we simply wish to express ourselves in a manner that will indicate our earnest convictions on matters of importance to the city. We think we have as good right to do this ns have some of our accusers who walk the streets, chew the rng suit tobacco juice and cuss because we do not agree with them. Until we are shown the error of our ways we shall refuse to be converted. The followeis of the old rotten ring, the henchmen of the old "machine" in politics are dancing to the tune of "down with state iiient No. t." If the people know a good thing when they see it, if I they wish to hold to the bent thing they ever had their hands upon to make clean politics they should hold to the tlirecl primary and statement No. 1. The calamity howlers oint to "Jonathan ' as the result of statement No. 1, Whereas, it was the result of the bliiikety-blauk ignorance of the voters. When they learn to vote, not for the man who blows his own horn the loudest, but for the man who delivers the goods, llieu no I Jonathan will work the people. It is 11 conclusive argument in favor of advertising, however, for Jona than went the limit and lauded the plum. The Journal has tieeu most fair in its treatment of St. Johns for the past moiiiii or mx weeks mid we nan niiium lorgoueu uie malicious lies that bright puiicr recently pub lished about us, but the soieplace was touched again Wednesday eve- niug when the Journal gave a col umu-flrst-imge write-up of the ferry that bristled with pievaiicatious like the back of 11 porcupine. This time, we are pietty ceitaiu that (he fault does not lie with the gentle manly lepoiter who does St. Johns, but is the work of Mime iiHKiiiiiuc disciple ol Ananias in theollice who is jealous of any movement for the 1 ? ... 1 ... advancement 01 nt. joiiiis. c ate MtirprUcd that a management ciiNible of getting out m InlcuMliig ami geueially accurate sheet would stand for these Inaccuracies. We believe the pi ice asked is too high, as miked by the ferry company, hut that it com the comiKiuy the iusig niflionut sum stated in the Join mil is so tar wrong that it will defeat the object evidently in view, to ills eietiu 111c company wiiii uie iieopic, and prevent (he deal; and we think the ictiiiU will be that the company ami tne committee 110111 the conn flit . . .1 . en win get together mid make a deal witufuctoiv to alt. The Journal need not tear its duty shut. St. olins will have a free ferry because 11 is as amen an advantage to I'oit laud as to St. Johns and as bciicfi eial to Multnomah county as to eith ei city.

JOHNS 304 NORTH JERSEY STREET Council Proceedings. The hiu tyhces of the city met In the council tepee for their 47th pow wow Tuesday evening, all present except big chief, Bredesou, who came in later. A petition was read Irom M. h. Holbrook asking permission to erect an addition 4x4 feet at the rear of the wooden building known as the M. W. A. hall, to be covered entirely with corrugated iron. The petition was granted on motion of King. The mayor then gave permission to Mr. Tails representing the A. G. Long Co., who handles the Mo Chaue bells. This gentleman stat- led without stammering just what wc have argued at all times that the present pot-metal bell the city has is worth nothing for any pur pose except for old junk and that it would be a waste of money to put it up 011 a good steel tower or anywhere else. The price Mr. Tails quoted for a first class Mo Chanc bell, which is acknowledged the best bell on the market, is 39 cents per pound and the city can buy as large or small otic as they desire. One large enough to be heard over the entire city 20 years hence should be purchased, for the reason that at that time the Mo Chanc belt will be just as good as new. The matter was taken under advisement for future action. A petition was read asking for an arc light at the Intel section of Lehigh and Hudson streets, signed by 16 property owners in that sec tion. Alderman Dobic recommen ded the placing of the light at that point because it would serve a greater number of people there than at any other point where one could be placed 111 the city and this light is the last one provided for in the appropriations for the current year. He stated that there were 30 or more residences which would be served by this light. The matter was referred to the water and light committee.

NOTICE OF Special Election Notice Is hereby given that, pcrsuant to the provisions of ordinance No. 163 of the city of St. Johns, Oregon, passed and approved February nth, 1908, pub lished February 14111, 190a, ami tne general laws of the state of Oregon, a special election will be held in said city of St. Johns and the territory herein after described which It is proposed to annex to said city of St. Johns, on Monday the 6th day of April, 1908, for the purpose of adopting or rejecting the proposal to alter the boundaries ot the municipal corporation of the said city of St. Johns mid include In, and annex to the said citv of St. Johns new tcrri tory, which said alteration of the Mid boundaries and new territory so pro posed to be included in and annexed to the said city 01 St. Johns Is described as follows: "Ilcglnning at the northeast corner of section one (1) T.

The time within which said Improvement is to be completed is here by fixed at sixty days from the last pub lication of notice for projwsals for said work, which prosals must be filed with the Recorder of said City by March to, 1908, at 4 o'clock p. in.

There have been many words spoken about different candidates for mayor, city attorney mid record er, but everybody seems afraid to get into print. Among those we have heard mentioned for mayor is S, II. CSiccii our present city attor ney. We feel sure the city will make 110 mistake in selecting Mr. (itccu for mayor, for he has had many veins exjierieuce in municipal ulTaiis, both us the chief executive 11111I as attorney. He is as most of our people know, cool in judgment, J nun win eiuoice tne laws 01 which purpose I pledge to you all my most earnest efforts. A. M. Hssou. The council did a most commend able thing at their meeting last woek wliuii they nnpiopuated $50 lor tne nreimys to lix up their loom ami tint the hoc in good shape 1 iiw met is men icuucfci lor a mouth straight is comparatively uouiiiig coiiiiMieu wiiii wiiiii a good fire company means to the city. It is most certainly enough lor thutiu laiU to come out at any time of the day or night and woik to stive the pioH!ity of the citizens, usking their lives and often nun iug their clothing at the files and do all this gratis, without having to dig up good money to put their room in shape mid take pioH.r caie of the city's apparatus. If the council will give the boys n little encouragement such ns asked for they will have no fault to find with the department. If they do not, they will soon have no department 10 una mini wiiii. we teei like patting the council on the back for what they have done and fo days hence we hope the council will then make a permanent appropria tion of 25 ier month for the boys. Oregon City with four or five com panics gives each of them $i$ per mouth and the money is not wast ed, l lie plea that it is not safe to give the boys that amount monthly, lest they get extravagant ideas and learn jwrnicious habits is puerile and hardly worthy of notice. There are enough of the boys who aie sober, steady, honest fellows of good, sound judgment to see that their funds are projHjrly used, even if some of them might be inclined to be a little gay. (live the boys the money ami we will be willing to guarantee them to make u good account of its use, city if elected. In legal matters, he would iierhaps have an advan tage over any other candidate. We do not know that he will run, but as he has said he would not be a candidate for attorney we see 110 leasou that he could not make a go lor mayor. hlscwhere in this issue will be found the announcement of A. M. Hssou ns 11 candidate for recorder. We etui endorse Mr. Ivssou ns 11 most accurate, careful, painstaking recorder and do not hesitate to say that the city will hardly better it self by looking further. I'or attorney, since the present incumbent has declined to serve again, we do not know among our lesulent attorneys one with whom we would place our own legal affaiis with as much confidence as witli II.lt. Collier. Mr. Collier has had many years exjieriense in his pro- lesston both as public prosecutor anil private counselor, is a good tea .smier, well lead in the law, honest, and will make a faithful, compe tent guardian of the legal rights of the city. More than t his, he is n manly man, and if we don't play his way does not go off in the cor ner mid noiit like some jcople we know. There, we are not 11 pig, we have named three uood candi dates. Who will be the uext? Good Government League. The league met in the council chamber Weduesdry evening to the number of about 75 and adopted the platform ns given below. There was 11 good feeling generally among those present mid the adop tion was practically unanimous. There were n number of good speeches the best of which was by i. 1. I. i. n-.i .1. r. .u. rarsous, wuo reiHiiuuteti 111c tin.. I idea that voting bonds will work a Miller-Harper. My, this is sudden I There was n wedding in Tacotna, Washington, Inst Saturday, when I'. J. Miller, one of our most jolly mid best hearted citizens was united for better or best, with Mrs. Lillian Harper of Portland. The frisky young tieople never said a word to their friends, and but just Inst Thursday, three days before the event, there was a most happy gathering nt the delightful home of Mr. mid Miller, too, which makes it worse. On the first page will be seen a little notice of the meeting Inst Thursday evening and it was one instance where the "devil" wns asleep, for we never knew n thing about the affair until after this item was in type, hence the shock we received when our prediction in the Inst paragraph of that article was so .suddenly fulfilled. The least we can do now is to join our wish es with those of the 40 or more ueignoors 01 tne nappy young peo ple, who gathered at their home and gave them a house warming Monday evening; that they muy enjoy to the full all the felicities which come to the good both here and hereafter. ANNOUNCEMENT. To the citizens of St. Johns; (.reetiug: In reply to the many Uttestious ns to my intentions about being a candidate for teelection to the olltce of Recorder for the com- tug year, I hereby announce, that by petition or otherwise, I shall be such candidate, I desire to con tinue for various reasons; among which are, that 1 may complete the work of index and classification so that any one who can read can find records mid pajK'rs without search. to cliauge the method of marking warrants issued for the improve ment of streets, so as to prevent mistakes of identity. To prove that experience has taught me something, and for the more selfish reason that I may be able to stay at noiue till all the family can walk, as well as to prove that I appreci ate the compliment of 1007 bv doing better work during 1908. it is not ours to revise the tariff. but to make our city all that its splendid location calls it to be, to hardship 011 those who pay for their homes 011 the installment plan. The H.'op!c of St. Johns, Oregon, believe that the time hns come to assert their rights mid demand strict enforcement of the laws, re gardless of all party affiliations or factious, and to that end insist that the affairs of the city be admin istered in mi economical manner. Therefore the Good Government League adopt the following plat form; 1. We favor the strict enforce ment of all city ordinances in letter and spirit, without fear or fnvor. 3. We fnvor Sunday closing of all bowling alleys, wo rooms, skating rinks, dance halls mid saloons. 3.

A Happy Birthday. One of the mast enjoyed parties ot tne season was given in Honor of the same wns accepted and check icturned to the company. Petition of shippers for better facilities for the protection of their property on thc city dock was rend, thoroughly discussed and on mo tion of Jobcs was granted inasmuch as there would not attach any additional expense or responsibility to thc city. A communication from Howsc & Co. was rend and discussed and on motion of Dobie placed 011 file. It was thc sense of the council that this street outfit should be pur- clusid at thc earliest moment and placed in operation, and 011 motion of Dobie a committee consisting of Dobic, Jobcs and Linquist was apoitited to secure prices fur loca tion and rock for thc crusher mid report at the next meeting. Leggctt reported that he hnd been to see the commissioners sev eral times regnrdiug the ferry; that Mr. Hames had not returned from California until Monday and that weiinesdny 01 tins week tney were to have a meeting and he hnd made a dnte with them for that time. The report was made that the sewer complained of by D. C. Rogers was defective and that n part of this sewer was private and part belonged to the city, but 110 definite action wns taken. The city attorney reported the status of the Umferdorf case and it appears that after all the bills are paid the city will have left some thing like $700, besides the $1000 due the city from the bondsmen because of the delay occasioned by the failure of Umferdorf to com plete the job. The recorder made a report of the manner iu which the papers were held up by the clerk of the circuit court which we deal with editorially elsewhere.

On motion of Leggett resolution authorizing condemnation proceed ings for the extension of Richmond street was adopted. Ordinance authorizing the im provement of Burlington street from the north Hue of Jersey street to the north lute of Kellogg street was passed. On motion of Dobie the building committee was author ized to place a bulletin board iu the main hall beside the entrance to the recorder's office. The mayor then recommended the recorder to procure a resolution book in which the resolutions adopted by the council should be writteu for convenient reference. After some discussion 011 motion of Jobes the recorder was authorized to procure the necessary book. The matter of the public foun tain was brought up aud discussed with the result that the matter was left to the city engineer aud com mittee.
