St. Martin's Springs
Good for the Aff icted
Theso now famous hot springs
aro located near tho Columbia river
about sixty miles from Portland, oast.
You can tako tho boat any morning
and on reaching Carson's landing you
will bo met at that point by St.
Martin's busses which will carry you
to Wind River about two and a half
miles distant where tho springs aro
located.
I havo always boon skoptlcal as to
tho virtues clalmod for tho minora!
springs, but after a visit there for
seven days I am convinced that thoy
havo wondorful curative power, Thort
aro certain classes of complaints that
cannot bo benefitted by those waters,
no doubt.but for roost of the allmonts
to which "human flesh Is heir" thoy
are highly bonoflclal. Rheumatics os
poclally aro groatly helped by tho hot
baths, and hundreds aro completely
cured by them,
Nearly ovory person you moot will
toll you how much ho has boon ben
efitted by tho uso of these baths and
by drinking of the waters, many loav
Ing them In a fow days or weeks well
men and womon.To give an Idea of the
wonderful offocts of bathing, allow
me to say that I havo weighed my
self before taking a bath and again.
In about two hours after taking it
and I found myself reducod from
five to six pounds. Of courao this
result would not bo attained by a
spare man, but I went thoro to re
duce my surplus fat and I aucceoded
admirably . Understand this, however
the nest day I would como back to
a pound or two of my old wolght.but
after taking another bath I would
again fall off five or six pounds.so
that when I went to the springs my
weight was 220pounda and on leav
ing I weighed only 209 pounds and
at that figure I still remain.
I have seen many people during
tay short atay benefitted or curodof
dlspepsla, carbuncle.llver, kidney and
bladder troubles, lame back.and man;
other chronic complaints. I believe
the value of these springs can not
be easily overestimated and should
be wore generally known by the af
flicted, There is a largo hotel here
and many other necessary build
ings, but the hotel is often full to
overflowing, I w.ould therefore ad
vise every one going there in the
summer to camp out. In this way

Sixty Feet too Narrow
For Fessenden Street
Thoro has boou much discussion
In tho mnlter of tho Improvement of
FosBondou streot and wo havo had
but llttlo to aay so long as It was
to bo made only 00 foot wldo, for no
streot that Is to carry tho car lino
should not hv so narrow. Tho pooplo
on Kllllngsworth nvonuo nro now reap
Ing tho fruit of their folly In this
matter. Even now, with tho light
traffic thoy havo, thoro aro tlmos
whon It Is almost Impossible for tho
loams to get through and whon that
buslnosa la doubled as It nntuhrally
will bo in a fow yoars thoy will bo
compolled to widen tho streets at an
exponso immonsely larger than If thoy
had beon wise and dono so In the
first placo.
Tho utroot car company expect In
tho noar futuro to put a doublo track
around tho loop and whon that Is
put In thoro would bo but llttlo of th
00-foot stroot loft. Tho pooplo along
that street then would bo In the
same condition as aro thoso who llvo
on Kllllngsworth avouue, Tho fine
boulevard thajt is being pushod out
from Portland will como out In tbo
vicinity of this stroot and If It Is made
of sufficient width will bo sure to
bo mado tho turning point of that
great roadway, This would add an
Immonso valuo to tho property along
this atroet.
Now, Is preeminently tbo time to
make the wldonlng of tho streot, as
It can bo done at a minimum of cost.
The time will soon come when It will
be forced to widen to accommodate
tho business and then if It la still
so narrow the expense will bo many
tlmea what it would cost to do
the work now. It were much better
to make tbo street wider than nar
rower than 7C feet. Wo hope every
one who Is Interested In this street
will make a careful atudy of the
situation and seo If he cannot find
It to his Intel est to favor tho wide
street. All our streets are too narrov
and property would be worth more
with suial'iT lot and wider streets.
Fusenden Mrcet made 70 or oven
80 fect wldo would be a great benefit
to all part j of the cltyand would do
as much as any one thing to advanco
the dewlopment and values of the
property in that section of the city.
many splendid ones. If you ask him
anything be will say nothing but will
walk away and attend to your wants.
A stranger eomes in and says: "Mr.
Martin, where can I put my tentt"
The reply will he: "Anywhere that
suits you." "What are your terms?"
' See the clerk, that ain't my busi
ness." I confess I like the old man with
his old style and Independent man
ner. He hi a perfect mountaineer,
who bows to no one and fears no
thing. He has more money than he
needs and spends it freely .Hates
nobody and will Insult nobody unless
they try to Insult him or defraud him
but if they did that the chances are
they would heat a retreat la short
order.
If I live long enough I shall visit
these springs again and I would
strongly advise all my afflicted or
ailing friends to give St. Martin Mia-
era! springs a trial.

An Interesting Session Tuesday Evening in Which a Small
Budget of Municipal Business Was Disposed of
Tho adjourned mooting of tho city
council met Friday ovonlng and mado
a careful examination of tho plans
and specifications prepared by tho
city engineer and aftor como minor
changes accopted tho samo and thoy
will bo found with tho recorder by
all Interested. Our city engineer Is
certainly a poach and capablo of do
Ing anything that may como up In
his lino. In thla dock mattor ho has
savod tho city Bomothlng llko $1800
or $2000 by getting up thoso plans,
which did not strictly como .within
tho lino of his duty . Tho lonst that
tho council could do nr.d bo square In
tho matter would bo to mako tho lad
ho mo substantial donation that would
at least express tho appreciation of
tho cltlzona for his good work man
Ifostod not only In this Instnnco but
Is charactorUtlo of all his work. Wo
mako this suggestion to sot tho city
fathers and tho pooplo thinking. If
wo havo an especially good publlo uor
vant, It Is woll to show some appre
ciation of tho fact and If wo have
an especially poor ono, thoro Is tho
romody of tho recall. If thoso two
ways of showing our appreciation for
tho work of our public officials wero
usod moro generally, thoro would bo
fowor inefficient offlcora and better
work dono.
Aftor a wearying wrestlo with tho
plans for a time thoro was a recess
whon alderman A. W. Davis regaled
thorn with reminiscences of somo of
his experiences keeping "bach" until
ono or two of the boys wore found
guilty of snoring and wore promptly
flnod for trespassing upon tho city
property by turning tho council chant
bor Into a lodging houso.
A rap of the mayor's gavel brought
up all tho delinquents and tho
bualnoss of tho ovonlng was again
taken up.
Acommunlcatlon was road from Mr
Fuller of tho street railway and also
ono from Mr. Kolloy his attorney, j
stating that Mr. Kolloy would bo
ablo to meet with tho council noxt
Wodnosday. Tho object of tho moot
Ing was to look Into tho FoHaondon
atroet matter. Tho recorder was In

A communication was read from
Treasurer Tanch asking that 1188 bo
transferred from tbo city hall fund to 1
the street fund In order to tako up

that the interest on the same would

Fatal Accident Near
the Columbia Park
Mrs. Mary Brown waa Instantly
killed at Mocks' station on tho St.
Johns carllne Tuesday afternoon. She
went to the car to see her friend on
board and aa she started to leave tbo
car which was going toward Portland
she pasted to the rear of the car
and attempted to cross the track.
The car her friend had entered pre
vented her seeing a car coming on
the other track snd also kept the
motorman from seeing the lady until
the car and the woman were almost
in touch. Neither the motorman nor
Mrs. Brown could prevent the
accident after they saw each oth
er. The motorman dropped the fen
der, which picked Mrs. Brown up
and carried her along and prevented
mutilation, but the terrific impact
la striking the car evidently caused
Instant death. The motorman said
Mrs Brown saw hi car at the same
time he saw her and endeavored to
get out of the way hat did' net have
sufficient time.
k U another cane ef abaeatmlnded
neat to which everyone la more or
leas addieted. These ahoeklag deaths
whleh occur from this cause would, 1'
seems brlac even one to such a real
isation of the danger of thus passing
to the rear of a car oa double tracks
without first assuring oneself that the
way is clear, that such accident as
thla would become laipoeaihle. But
