JOHNS, OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 22. 1909. NO. II SPLENDID TIME WILL BE BUSY COUNCIL MEET INSTALLATION To Improve the Thorough fares of St. Johns Tho season of tho year when 8'ieet vork should get undor way In pood flhupo Is now at hand. Labor It. m.irt cuslly secured, teams tiro lets difficult to acquire, nnd tho con dlltlon of tho ground Is bettor adapt cd to street work tnau would be tho caso later In tho spring. As many stroets as pOBslblo should bo gotton In shape for Improvement at prne tlcalty 0110 tltno. Moro contractors bocomo Interested In tho proposition and as a result keener competition will ensue. A contractor can do work cheaper on two streets than (ono for tho reason that It requires the snmo cqulpmont for ono ns .. docs for half a dozon, and tt.cro In moro or less cxponso attached to goiung np pnrntus In shape for street Improve mont. Many contractors will not put In a biu for ono street, whllo If thoro aro half a dozen or moro nd vortlsed it Is u dtfforont matter. Uood streets add greatly to tho np pcaranco .of the city, and very ma terlally Increase tho vnluo of tho property. W.11.0 tho cost scom pretty heavy to many property holders who nro not endowed with many of this world'a goods, yet the Hnncroft bonding net, which all may tnko advantage of, makes tho propo sltlon comparatively easy. It gives ten years In which to mnku tlu payment, nnd whllo tho Interest Is nu Item, tho Increased valuation of tho property will much moro than offset this extra expense. Severn! of our citlzons are laboring under a mis taken Idea regarding the operntlon of this act. They bollovo when tho net Is once npvllcd Hint It will bo held against tho property until tho ton years bnvo expired and that It Is Imposilblo to pny up at any unto wuhln that period nnd .nvo tho Hon removed, This Is 11 wrong concep tion of tho act. Any party who has takon udvnntngo of this net can pay up at any tlmo by Including tho In torest up to thu tlniu tho next pay mont Is duo, nnd hnvo tho lion ro moved from tho docket, Thoro nro many streets that should to improved without delay, and v. lillo tho cost may bo a Ilttlo heavy to some of tho proporty holders nt tl It tlmo tho benefit dorlvod will so fnr offset tho coat that It should bo i tailed through ovon If It does re quire a Ilttlo sacrificing at tho out sot. Petitions for nearly all tho un improved streets In 8t. Johns should at onco bo prosontod to tho council for action thoreon. Cement sldownlks should also bo laid In us many casos as possible. Whllo they nro more costly at tho start they pay In the ond. Lot an ora of stroot Improve ment begin at onco. ill Help Some No news that has boon rocelvod by the pooplo of Oregon during tho last twenty-four months Is so Import ant as the announcement that the trans-continental railroads will make a rate, beginning March 1st and con tlnulng until April 30tb, from Kansas City, Omaha, St, Paul, and Mlnne apolls, Winnipeg and other similarly situated towns, to all main lino jrall road points In Oregon, for $25.u0. Tho people of no stato In tho Union have profited more by these one-way tickets than have those of Oregon during the last four years, Tho rate from Chicago Is $33, from St. Louis, $30.50, with a proportionate low fare from all points In tho United States. This should add many thousands of actual settlers to the population ol Oregon. These are ono-way tickets, and It travellers desire to return to their former homes In the older east ern states they would have to pay full fare. The Aftermath Ualn beats snow any day. Gum boots are now in vogue. The river Is getting pretty full. Tho soft pedal baa now been turned on. We will be good now, Mr. Wvather man. Pleaw don't do It again. The wicked stood In slippery placet the past week. Then there were others.

Charter Commission Wil 1 Have Its Hands Full Tho charter commission appointed to mnku somo Important changes In tho present charter hnvo tho same undor consideration and will likely mnko theln report In tho near future, Tho commission consists of S. C Cook, 1J, T. Leggott, K. C. Couch, 8 L. Doblc, A. W. Davis; ox-offlclo membors, 11, E. Collier and It. W Urico. Thu changes nro to bo gotten up In tho way of amendments to the charter and will bo printed In pamph lot form nnd mailed to each voter In tho city. A voto will bo tnken on tho proposed amendments nt tho gonornl election in April. Tho most Important amendment under consideration Is In regard to tho election of city officials. Tho way In which tho cliartor now rends tho officers nro elected for only one year, and It Is possible to elect n full new set of officials each voar. iVcro this to happen much tlmo would bo lost by tho new officials In Cbttlng on to the foruiB nnd thu stu tim ot business taken up by the pre tdlng mombers, and much confusion would likely unsuu, Thu commission Intends to niter this so that threo now members will bo elected to council one term ami four thu next, thus leaving at least threo old coun cllmeu In office nil thu time. In this nmondment tho tlmo ot election will bo changed to December Instead of April, so tho new officials can bo sworn In tho first of each year, and to tuku effect In December of next year. This would allow tho of! leers elected In April to continue In office nbout eighteen montliu. Tho terms ot Mayor, Kocordcr, Treasurer nnd Attorney would also bo extended to two years undor tho proposed new dispensation. Tho elimination ot tho liquor ques tion from tho bunds ot tho Cornell Is another proposed measure. This may be done by voting upon tho ques tion nt oach election If tho people de sire. Aftor It is voted upon onco It can bo brought up again at tho noxt election by n certain porcontngo of tho voters signing n petition to that effect, Tho commission bolloves tho pooplo should decide whether tho city should bo licensed or not, nuu thon tho question of a cnndldato's standing 011 tho liquor question would have no bearing on his elec tion. This cortalnly would bo a good foaturo and should bo satisfying to all. Tho simplifying of stroot work was also to hnvo boen taken up, but it was found that the charter la rather broad on tho "subject and It is thought tho matter can bo adjusted without amondlng tho charter. An amendment changing tho tlmo of making roports by the trearurer and recorder from tho 15th of tho month to the first will no doubt bo adopted by tho commission, Othor changes will be considered, and tho commission will have their hands full for somo time to come. Will Open New Tract A contract for clearing 05 acres of land, lying between Nowport Sta tion and Smith's Crossing In East Johns, waB awardod tins weoic Charles Foss. This tract will bo opened by the Holbrook Interests, streets will bo graded and lots plotted off. Tills contract secured by Mr. Foss will be. ono of tho largest, It not the largest, over let In St. Johns, and no better man for tho Job could be found anywhere than Charley Foss. The opening of this trtct marks another era In tho march of progress In this vicinity. It Is well located, convenient to get to and bids fair to become one of the most Important building districts In St. Johns. Work will begin at onco and pushed through in an expeditious manner. Making Improvements The St. Johns Laundry Is making many changes and alterations in lta laundry. They have moved Into the more commodious quarters re cently occupied by the West Coast, and are rapidly getting in shape one ot the finest laundries In the state.

TRADE FROM TUALATIN VALLEY This Rich Farming Community Could Be Induced to Swing Their Patronage to St. Johns if a Well Directed Effort Was Made to Secure It COMMERCIAL TJ10 St. Johns Commorclnl club met In regular session In their com- fortablo roomn In tho Holbrook build ing last Thursday evening. Despite tho Inclement condition of tho weather n fair attendance of ropro- scutntlvp citizens was In ntteudance. After tho mlnutcB of thu provlous meutlng woro rend and duly approved tho matter ot tho proposed trolley lino from tho Swift plnnt to tho ferry slip was taken up. Secretary Perkins reported Hint tho United Hallways stilt hnd thu proposition under con- Iderntlon, nnd ho believed they would reach n decision In tho matter, in a week or so. Owing to th'j bad wenther nnd Illness of one of Its mem bers, tho committee on tho mnttur of having St. Johns mail matter on thu North llnnk lino put off nt Ht. Johns station, asked for nu extension of tlmo for another week, which was granted. Thu North Hank officials having so many troubles of greater moment on hand It was doomed ad visable by tho committee on n phono at St. Johns stntlon to delay tho mat tor urtll a moro propitious tlmo. On the suggestion of President llludrlcks this commlttco was requested to In turvlew the sumo officials In regard to having a night man tit this atatlon in ordor to direct tho Into arrivals to St. Johns. As It now Is tho depot Is closod when this train ni rives, nnd St. Johns visitors, espoclnlly those who hnvo never boon over the route, nro In a dilemma when thoy step off tho train. Until that section of tho Ponlusulu Is moro thickly pop ulated and regular conveyances meet oach train, It Is quite desirable that somo means bo employed to direct tho people aright. Tho committee agreed to assume this duty nnd make nn earnest effort to hnvo tho matter taken enro of In a satisfactory man ner. A resolution endorsing Hon .IC, C. Couch's action In fnthorlng n bill for tho oporatlon of n frco ferry at Bt. Johns was unanimously passed, and It was tho senso of tho club Unit any aid tho organization could furnl'ii in furthering tho project would bo cheep fully extended. Tho free ferry pro position was freoly discussed, and it was the opinion of all that such nn Institution would bo ot vast boncflt to St. Johns. Thoro aro in tho neigh borhood of 1800 people living In tho Tualatin valley and It Is believed that tho groat majority of those would come to this city to do their trading If a free ferry was In opera tion. It Is qulto natural that the farmers living over that way would much rather bring their produce to St. Johns than make the long tiresome drive to Portland, but the tariff of 70 conts for tho round trip Imposod by the ferry company Is prohibitive. If these farmers could bo Induced to do their trading In St. Johns It would make a great inference In tho bus! ne8s done by tho local merchants. Tho banks, grocory, hardware, dry goods and confoctlonery stores would all feel tho benefit Immediately, 'armors as a rule are heavy buyers, and when a wagon Is tied up nt one of tho stores it means that thcro Is soroo business being dono on tho In OREGON DAY iood Program Suggest ed for Schools Following is a suggested program fer Public Schools and Literary so- cletles for Oregon Day, February 14, 60th anniversary of the aamissior Oregon into the Union. Tho act admitting Oregon was passed Feb ruary 12th and signed by the Presi dont Ffb. 14. 1800. In aa much as 14th falls on Sunday this year, It smirested that the exercises be held in Filday, Feb. 12th, and that centenary ot Lincoln's blrtn bo comn emorated In tbe same exorcises This rrugram Is suggested by tno Vi ;jlvetlty of Oregon and was pre pared by tho departments of History and Education, CLUB ACTIVE IN THE MATTER side It Is n plonslng sight to bust t.tri men to boo farm wagons strung nlung tho public highways, and would at onco glvo a stranger thu lir.prcsBion that St. Johns was 11 busy city. It would ulso mean much to nil our citlzons. Thu cost of farm produco would bo less, and It would always bo fresh nnd good, nnd In creator nhundaiico. As tho Tualatin valley is practically the only outside territory that St. Johns can hope to draw from In n commercial wny, It behooves our business men to put forth ovory effort to securo It. A number ot the residents ot thu vnlloy hnvo expressed a willingness and readiness to do their trading In this community If 11 free ferry was In operation, nnd u number of Inquiries hnvu been innde ns to tho stability of our bnnks nnd tho ability of our merchants to handle their produce. Therefore, If n freo ferry Is tho only jbulnclo Unit prevents St. Johns from securing this desirnblu trade, it cor talnly cannot- bo secured too st on. It would also uavu a tendency to bring moro trade from I.liinton and Whit wood Court, and ns these places nro growing In n rapid mnnnor their pnt ronngo Is well worth looking after. St. Johns Ib their legitimate trading point, nnd nny business from this section that now finds Its wny to Portland should be diverted to this city. 'With a trolley'lluo fondling to the ferry slip and thu ferry run by n cublu system, there sooms to be no reason In tho world why St. Johns should not secure nil tho business that naturally belongs to It. Hut we can hopo for Ilttlo from that terri tory until tnese Improvements and couvouloncea hnvo been put In prnc ticu. The proposed extension of Rich liunid street through tho Cnplo tract was discussed to soinu extent, and it was tho concensus ot opinion that this should bo pushed through at onco, as tho matter hua been "holding flro" for loo long 11 porlod alroady. It Is qulto likely that unlost nrraugomonta aro made at onco to have this Improvement dono 1.10 club will take thu mattor up nnd ren der what assistance it can In having tho streot oponed up. Whllo tho nttonaanco was not as largo ns could bo .oslrod, uoso present woro qulto enthusiastic nnd vory oarnost In their desire to aid In whatover way possible for tno progress and advancement of St, Johns, Ono thing tho club neodu to mako It tho power for good that It should be, and that Is moro morabora Thoro were 31 luombora enrolled Thursday evening, but there should bo at least 100 good, onergetlo and hard working members, and It Is bo. llovcd that this will bo accomplished in a fow weeks. Tho Commercial club la not strictly a buslnoss mon's club, as some Im agine. While It Is a tact that ovory buslnosa man In tho city should bo an active member, nevertheless any respectable citizen who has the good of tho community nt hoart will bo heartily welcomed by the members, Tho rooms aro cozy and comfortable tho furniture and fixtures first class and tho fellowship congenial.

Th Inltntlon fee Is small and the dues nro within the ability of all to moot, and there sooms to bu no good reason why. tho St. Jolitm Commercial club cannot become ono of tho strongest organizations of Its Kind on tin const. It has been stated several times that thu club wns ot 110 benefit to tho city nnd Unit It had novor nc comnllsheil iiiivtlilin: uf tiny real Importance for St. Johns.

Harmony was lacking, and wo bollovo all mo mombers were never present nt nny one mceung, and It wns seldom, Indood, outside of tho faithful onus, that tho snmo members woro prosont two mooting In succession.
