FOR A GLORIOUS
FOURTH
If You Do Not Favor it
Don't Discourage It
Slnco tho movement for a fino
Fourth of July celebration linn boon
Inaugurated no Btono should bo loft
unturned to mako It nn unqualified
succoss. Anyone who does not bo
llovo In attempting to hnvo n cole
bratlon hero on that day, docs not
bollovo It would result successfully
and does not think local conditions
arc conducive for drawing n large
crowd hlthor on tho glorious Fourth
should keep mum. Don't bo n "wot
blanket" or n discordant nolo. If
so mo people- luivo enough ambition to
got up u little colebratlon they shoult
not bo discouraged In Iholr laudublo
undertaking. It will not cost moro
than n couplo hundred dollars to hao
a fairly docunt celebration, and It
will work a hardship upon none to
contribute n little for this cause.
While tho business houses In gen
eral ennnot hope to benefit irontly
by a Fourth of July celebration, tho
confectionery and leu cream stores
may enjoy n good trndo. And thoy
desorvo to. They nro vitally Inter
ested In tho city, and their sales be
ing small a good day's buslnoss onco
In n while holps nmnilngly. Thoro.
Ifore.lot us havo n good celebration
oven If It does benefit them moro
than other huslnoss.IJy helping thorn
wo holp ourselves. Then the chil
dren onjoy a good, rousing coloura
tion. Ono only has to hark back
to tho days of bis youth and recol
lect how tho approach of July Fourth
affected htm, how his hoart boat a
llttlo faster, and what a happy day
ha anticipated, especially If thoro
was a celebration to bo hold In tho
town In which ho resided. It Is n
day for youn and old to enjoy thorn
solvos. A Uttlu sport, u little re
laxation from business, tho mingling
together ono with another nil holp to
mako tho day a Joyous ono. Lot us
then got togothor In this
mattor and Invito our friends from
far and nour to Join with us In mak
ing this a most onjoynblo occasion.
If condltlom aro not conducive let
us mako tho day a grand succoss In
splto of this fact. Lot tho ooglo
scream In tho fullness of Its Joy and
let us havo a day to bo long remem
bered. 'Twould Look Nicer
How much handsomor It would
have been were concroto crosswalks
placed on tho streets where concreto
sidewalks havo been and aro now
being laid? Tho Job would look
much more finished and bo far moro
substantial. Tho roason asalgnod for
this not being done was on account
of tho gas pipes that may soon bo
laid In tho streets and that the con
crete would Hkoly become cracked
nnd broken undor this operation.
Whetbor this work could bo done
without disturbing tho concrete walks
to any extent wo know not, but can
not help but reflect on how much
nicer It would havo been had con
creto been used Instead of plank for
tbo crosswalks.
Give Her a Boost
Miss Dabo Cooper Is the contes
tant representing St. Johns' in tho
contest for queen of the Peninsula.
She Is a handsome and attractive
young lady and would fittingly grace
tho seat of honor as queen. Every
person In St. Johns should cast at
least a few votes for this young
lady. The votes are but ono cent
each, and every vote counts. Boxes
may bo found at Hendricks' Hard
ware store and Unger's cigar store.
Vote early and often.
Dock is AH Right
Many ot those who attended Mem
orial exercises at the new city dock
Monday were agreeably surprised at
the commodlousness and substan
Uallty of that structure. Few people
realize Just what an admirable dock
we now possess, and the only way
in which to get a proper conception
of Just how flno tt U Is to give It
Ttok,
BID FOR DOCK
ACCEPTED
All Hinges on Connection
With the Railroad
Bids for tho lonso of tho now city'
dock were opened nt tho city hall
at an adjourned meeting of tho city
council lust Friday evening, and tho
dock was nwnrdod for a norlod of
flvo years to W. J. Conrln, ns being
tho most satisfactory and best bid
received. Mr. Qcnrln has his head
quarters In Portland nnd has no In
terest In any other dock. Ilia bid
wns $400 tier month for tho first
year; flGO per month for tho second
yonr and SfiOO per month for tho
remaining three years. According
to his statement accompanying tho
bid he will uto It for shipping and
grain exporting buslnoss and ex
pects to handle from fifty to sovonty
five thousands tons annually with a
nay roll of from fifteen to twenty
thousand dollars per year, nnd that
liu will Instnll n clennlng plant suit
able for handling grain ut an ox
ponso of about ton thousand dollars.
Thu offer Is made with tho distinct
understanding that thu city will cause
said dock to bo connected by suit
able nwltchcs and railroad truck
with either thu O. It. & N. or tho
North Honk road, and that switch-
Ins rights nnd privileges bo granted
on or beforo September 1st, tho
monthly rental to begin when
switches aro luld und dock connected
up. In caso such switching connec
tions ennnot be mado tho offor is
not binding and ho does not want tho
dock at any prlco.
A committee wns appointed to
wait upon tho O. it. & N. officials
Saturday in rogard to connecting
with tho dock, consisting of Attomoy
Collier, Councllmon Ilrown and Hll
lor and Mayor llondrlcka. Mr.
O'llrlou. general mnnnger was ab
sent In Chicago when tho delegation
culled and tho matter wns discussed
with Mr. Cooman. Ho said tho mattor
would bo glvon Immodlato attention
nnd that Mr. O'Urlon would bo noti
fied at onco by wire, and tho com
mlttoo was Informed that an answer
would bo given thorn as soon as
possible.
It Is now uu to tho 0. R. & N. Co.
to muko good, nnd It Is no more
than rlaht that thoy should at onco
bottln tho construction of tho switch.
Tho city has always filvon this com
pany everything thoy hnvo asked for,
and this would bo a splendid oppor
tunity for them to return tho compli
ment. Tho good will of all our citi
zens are Involved In this matter, and
it would bo wise for tho officials to
consldor woll beforo tho proposi
tion Is turned down.
Tho leasing of tho dock to Mr,
(Jearln will mean much for tbo city
of St. Johns. It means that a num
ber of employes will bo noodod to
handle tbo grain, that tho water
front will liven up to quite a degroe,
that tho dock of St. Johns will bo
come known ubroad, that tho Inter
est on the money will bo taken care
of and a sinking fund created, ana
will be an Inducement for otner in
dustries to locate along our shores.
All provided that a switch Is pro
vided to connect tho dock with the
railroad. Since there Is so much at
stake It behooveB the O. It. & N. to
be good and get busy without delay,
and the money thus spent will re-
turn to them many fold.
Mrs. Valentine Won
Mrs. F. W. Valentine came out
with flying colors In tho Alaska Tour
contest Inaugurated by tho Tele-
cram. Tho people of St. Jonns ameu
her to the best of their ability and
la very Gratifying to learn tuai
she won so handsomely. She had 41.-
000
votes more than her nearest
mpetttor, which Is a remarkable
CO
showing since among tho enure
biuret or subscribers which she so
licited, not one subscribed for more'
than one year, which is more man
any ot the other contestants can
claim. The party will leave for tho
far northern trip June 17th, and that
they will have the time of their
is a foregone conclusion, airs.
ValenUne is one of our most popular
young women and la always foremost
aldlne any public enterprise.
Therefore, It Is eminently fitting that
she should be chosen as a memoer
