of ft battle between the Russian

"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

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.

Some Candidates.
There have been many words
spoken about different candidates
for mayor, city attorney mid record

get into print. Among those we
have heard mentioned for mayor is

make 110 mistake in selecting Mr.

many veins exjierieuce in municipal

our people know, cool in judgment, J

patting the council on the back for

then make a permanent appropria

give the boys that amount monthly,
lest they get extravagant ideas and
learn jwrnicious habits is puerile
and hardly worthy of notice. There

that the city will hardly better it
self by looking further.

incumbent has declined to serve
again, we do not know among our

we would place our own legal affaiis

many years exjieriense in his pro-
lesston both as public prosecutor

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

know. There, we are not 11 pig,

The league met in the council

number of about 75 and adopted

Inst Saturday, when I'. J. Miller,
one of our most jolly mid best
hearted citizens was united for
better or best, with Mrs. Lillian

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

instance where the "devil" wns

about the affair until after this item

received when our prediction in the

we can do now is to join our wish

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

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

as well as to prove that I appreci

but to make our city all that its
splendid location calls it to be, to

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

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

of Dobie a committee consisting

apoitited to secure prices fur loca
tion and rock for thc crusher mid

Mr. Hames had not returned from

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.
