Council Proceedings.
The hiu tyhces held their 51st
weekly pow wow in their Inns
tepee Tuesday evening, the 17th of
Ireland, nil members being present.
A petition wus presented for the
improvement of Richmond street
from tlie south Hue of Willis boule
vard to Portland boulevard. Ou
motion of Leggett the petition was
accepted and the city engineer was
instructed to make the necessary
profile and survey.
Communication from the city
water company calling attention to
the disposition 011 the part of con
tractors to disarrange water pipes
and damage them and stating that
the company would hold the city
and the contractors responsible for
any damage resulting in such de
rangement of pipes, The matter
was referred to the finance commit
tee to meet with tlie officers of the
water company in conjunction with
the city recorder and endeavor to
make a satisfactory arrangement
for caring for the water pipes when
they were necessarily removed by
the contractors in making street
improvements.
Mr. Maples requested appraisers
tti appraise his laud which the city
want-, for a street. It seemed the
sense of the council that Mr. Ma
ples should be paid a fair pi ice for
the land he would Ioo by the do
nation of his proportion of the
street alongside his property.
Several of the citizens interested
we present and it was decided
after lull discussion for the .street
committee, in conjunction with the
proerty owners abutting 011 that
street to confer with Mr. Maples
and endeavor to adjust the matter
satisfactorily and report at the next
meeting.
Leg net t reported that he had
examined tb location for the rock
crusher, that he considered it the
btst site available and thought the
city should purchase the crusher
and get to doing business at once.
After considerable discussion it was 1
decided to defer the decision until ,
next meeting and that tile council
in a body should visit the site un
der consideration the following
(lav.
Mussrs. Maeg'cy and Nutting )
fenrd warrants, the lormer in the 1
sum of 12500, the oiner S500, for j
redemption or exchange for city
bonds. On motion of Uobie the fi- !
nance comuuttie and recorder were 1
instinct, d 10 lake up the warrants I
so far as tb ic were available funds
in the street improvement hind-
Two c.ie.s of charity came up
and were propvily disposed of.
The iwonler re.,d a detailed re
pott of the list quarter's transac
tions in th recorder's and Meas
urer's otlicts, a coadensed state
ment of which uppcar.s elsewhere
in this issue.
Ou motion of Dobie tlie mayor .
was authorized to appoint some one '
to inspect the re ords ot the county
recorder and ascertain the status of j
the account of the city of St, Johns
with that gentleman.
The recorder recommended that
the council purchase another mill-
ute book for the use of the incom
ing council of the uniform size with
the one in use, as there was not
enough room in the present book
for more than a month's record.
On motion of Walker the recorder
was instructed to purchase the
book.
The bid of Mr. Swan for the
work on Hurtingtou street was laid
on the table for another week pend
ing the settlement of the rock question.
The New Market.
Going up the street yesterda we
happened iu at the new meat mar
ket, or rather, the old market un
der the new uiauag.-meiit. There
we found Mr. Hitgood busily en
gaged in carving some of their fine
steaks for their patrons. It wilt be
! remembered that Messrs Jhlgood
Cole bought the Star meat market
of Mr. Hoover a few days ago and
have opened up the business on the
small margin and big sales basis.
Mr. Hitgood says he sees 110 reason
why he cannot sell meat just us
cheaply as they do in Portland
That is the plan he has started 011
and he says his business has in
creased so that he will have to put
in another block and employ an ex
tra cutter.
He will have two meat cutters
tomorrow so that 110 one will have
to go to P011I nid for their meat but
can get it just as cheaply here and
' of as good quality. The market
' retains the old name and will be
operated at the same location. Mr.
, Hitgood thinks although it isn little
over a block off the main business
center, the jienple who go over to
Portland for the low prices will be
glad to walk a block or two for the
Kami' prices. The way his trade is
increasing is what confirms him in
this belief.
0. E. Ericson for Coroner.
K I! Kricsou, Republican can
didate for coroner, was iu the city
yesteidny in comn.iiiy with Mr.
Zellcr. the undertaker, who former
ly hail 11 chapel iu St. Johns, but
which wns burned down- Th.- gen
tlemen were looking after their po
litical prospects here mid st ited
hat they proposed to do if Mr.
Kricson is elected. There has never
been a deputy coroner 011 the Kust
Side. Following the octopus prin
ciples of tlie West Side, that of
keeping everything there, the cor
oner has nlwivs appointed his dep
uties from tlie West, Side. Mr.
Kricson proposes, if elected, to np
Htitit Mr. Z Her deputv coroner for
the Kust Si'le, which practically
places one of our own people 011 his
staff This alone should win him
the vote of every Kust Sider, .inn
the tact that he is an up-to-date un
dertaker, and a bright, progressive
young man ol un.aruished reputa
tion should iu him votes every
where iu his constituency. We
hope our people will consider his
claims upon them when they come
to vote for coroner.

Easter Millinery.
The Vogue millinery is holding
its millinery opening for the Kaster
season yesterday and today.
! We did not wish to purchase a
I bat, but we greatly admire the
I beautiful iu both nature and art
j and was attracted by the pretty hats
and pretty gills, mid having our
"butitiski" case with us showing it
. to be in good standing, we were most
f graciously received by tlie manager,
Mrs. Stacker, and served witli de
licious cocoa along with the other
1 pretty girls. We were shown, too.
1 a bewildering array of the most
beautiful creations iu feminine head
gear. There were hats ami hais.
Great, big specimens of the most
I intricate work of the designer and
j manufacturer, with the most deli
cate decorations. One with a fine
real ostrich plume worth $45, and
j the hats and prices rauge:l 011 down
to the little "giddy widow chip
at $3. Hats to suit the person ami
pocketbook of every mother, sister,
wile or sweetheart in the city.
Resides this "dieam of the shop
per" there was 011 the north wall of
the room a lovel) star, more t hit 11 a
yard across, built of roses of all
kinds and si.es, siiulax, lilacs, wis
teria, forget-me-nots and 11 number
of other flowers, so true nature
that they looked as if fresh from
the florist. It was a lovely design
and splendidly executed. Iu the
window was another lovely piece of
decorating. It was a large mirror
llaukcd nt either end by bulks of
roses, so arranged thai the glass re
A cted the image of the gates ajir
with a bright faced cherub beckon
ing tlie beholder in.
We translated the entire produc
tion something like this: The cher
ubic individual represents the bright
little manager, inviting her patrons
into her parlor, where she will lit
them with a love of a hut that will
make the wearer shine like the
Kaster star 011 the wall of her room
und when the bills come in will
make the good man of the house
wish he could climb up and go
through the "gates ajar" for keeps.
Mrs. Stacker certainly under
stands her business from alpha to
omega and assuredly deserves the
compliments bestowed upon her
by Mr. Case, manager of Case it
Reise's wholesale millinery when
iu St Johns recently. Regardless
of what we poor duffers who have
to pay the bills may think we are
sure our lady friends will make a
mistake if they do not inspect Mrs.
Stuckcr'.s display before purchas
ing. Summer Base Ball.
St. Johns means to keep her
place iu the field of sports this year
and has already about completed
arrangements for the summer. The
game this season has been placed
ou a more solid basis this year than
heretofore by the organization of a
joint stock company, of which we
understand the stock has all been
sold and a bunch of players have
been signed tlie personnel of which
compare favorably witli any other
aggregation iu this section.
Tlie following is the Hue up nt
present and the probability is there
will be but few changes:
F, W. Valentine, manager; A.
S. Philbrick, 3d base and captain;
K C. Fl"ni'". short stop; Gordon
Drown, 2d base; Clark Moore, 1st
base; Marvin Wakefield, and
George Haiick, pitcheis; Otto
Moore and K. Swnnon, catchers;
I'd White, Ross Parker, W.ud l.ce
and Harry C. Ruppel, outfielders
The association his leased the
Hill ball grounds and it is expected
the first game til be played about
the 1 lib of April. The prosjtects
nte good for 11 most successful sea
son of lull here in St. Johns, and
there seems to be no reason that uv
should not have. 'I'll grounds
will be put iu tlie best possible con
dition and everything done that
can be suggested for the comfort
and enjoyment of the spectators.
Mansfield & Kaemlein Sell.
Harry S.ittcrlv bought the bar
ber shop and business of Mansfield
& Kaemlein and leased the shop to
Harvey Smith, Wednesday, and
the business will be curled ou nt
their present location. Mansfield
& Kaemlein, we understand, will
go to one of the mining towns iu
the Ulue mountains where thev
will charge a good sized nugget for
every shave, build up their fortunes
and come back to St. Johns, where
they are still holding 011 to every
dollar's worth of prop.rty they
haw, ami they will utilize their
fortunes to help build up St Johns
We me very sorry to sie thes1
boys leaw St Johns for tluy are
not only good limbers, but goad
tellows, good citizens and a ciexbt
to uiiv commtiuitv. We will guv
them just a year lo get back to Si
Johns and come around ami give
us a free shave, or if neither of
them returns inside a year, we will
give 'hem 11 dollar to come iu and
shave us; which is a genteel way
way of s,i iug we will bet 11 dollar
to a i.s-ccut slnive that one or notli
of them will be back inside of a
year.
We trust the new man mid Har
vey will do well iu their new ven
ture and that neither will ever
regret that they tied up witli St.
Johns.
