THE OFFICE
Elected School Director
on Monday Last
Tho school election held In tho
llolbrook block Monday afternoon
aroused qulto n llttlo Interest. Tho
only offlco to bo voted for was 0110
school director. Tltoro woro two
cnndldatcB for this posulon J. 13
Williams oh n candldato to succeed
himself, nnd Gilbert Goodhue. Wlion
tho votes wcro counted It was found
that Mr. Williams had rccclvod 01
votes nnd Mr. Qoodhuo 147.
J. B. WllllnmB baa served on tho
school board for tho past several
years honorably nnd well. Ho used
thu samo careful Judgement nnd bus
Iness methods In tho school affairs
as In his own private business. As
cbnlriunn of thu board ho was In
strumontal In securing tho bulldliiB
In tho north cud, tho 0110 In tho
east end nnd thu proposed now high
school. Ho gnvo freely of his time
to push these structures nlong. While
some Question his Judgment In favor
lug tho sites selected, those who
wcro familiar with progress or tho
city and tho needs of tho different
locations applaud tho selections
which woro miido by tho board. Thu
sites wero securod at ruasonnblo
prices In both Instances, Ho well
know that to purchase a. ploco of
land for school purposes from an
Individual who owned no property
adjoining. It an exorbitant prlco
would bo demanded, and thoreforo,
tho man or company who had prop
erty adjoining or surrounding tho
sites would bo most apt to sell at
a roasonnblo prlco because his prop
erty would greatly onhnnco In vnluo
as a result, and, thoreforo, In conjunc
tion with tho board, ho Bought such
conditions. As u consequonco both
plots aro today worth much moro
than was paid for thorn, as an In
quiry as to prices asked for adjoin
ing proporty will testify. Ever nn
exponent of tho hlKhost posslblo de
gree of education, ho took a singu
lar Interost In his duties and was
loady nt any and nil times to "uto
his tlmo nnd his talents In tho ad
vancement of education. There
foro ho can rotlro from offlco fooling
that ho has been faithful to his
trust and has discharged bis duties
In ovory Instance without fear or
favor. Not being Infalllblo, ho may
havo mado somo mistakes, possibly
has, but ho has been slncoro In all
that ho has done, and no man had
over any need to bo In doubt as to
how Mr. Williams stood on any
question.
Of tho new member, Mr. Good
hue, no evil word can be spokon.
An honost man, careful and fully
competent, wo bellovo he will por
form his duties satisfactorily and
well, nnd that tho peoplo of St.
Johns will havo no cause to regret
his election.
Bachelors Give Dance
Tho danco given In Blcknor'a ball
last Thursday evening by thu Bach
elor's club was a decided success.
Tho hall was oxtenslvely and
beautifully decorated for the occasion.
The prevailing color was red, and
some of the effects were far re
moved from the ordinary. The
genius who had the nrrangoment In
charge showed plenty of originality
and skill. More than fifty couples
were present and enjoyed to the full
the good time prepared by the un
fortunate maleB who havo so far
been unable to find or secure a bet
ter half. It is really a shame there
are so many bachelors In St. Johns
when there Is such a variety of
pretty and congenial young women
here. It is 'quite likely, however,
that the ranks of the club will be
sadly depleted before the year Is
out, if all reports are correct.
Commendable Law
According to the laws of the State
of Washington now in force every
person who shall manufacture, sell,
give away or distribute, or have in
his possession any cigarettes, cigar
ette papera or cigarette wrappers
shall bo guilty of a misdemeanor.
This is a first rate law and It would
not be bad Idea for the state of
Oregon to eaact a siaiUar oae.

NOT DEAD
High Bridge Project Still
Very Much Alive
Tho movement for a suspension
brtdgo at St. Johns has not died
a natural death, as somo peoplo lm
nRlno. Tho matter has been taken
us far n it can bo advanced nt tho
nrcsont tlmo, Nothing can bo
done until tho Legislature again
moots, with the exception of clrculat
Ins petitions bringing this matter be
foro it. In nniplo tlmo this will
bo done. Ways and means will bo
tought whereby funds may bo raised
to ploco slgnnturo seekers In tho
field, nnd 11 thorough ennvms of the
entire county may be Inaugurated, or
as much of It ns may bo deemed nil
vlsablo. Tho movement will bo
inndo so strong nnd so far reaching
that tho Legislature will bo com
nulled to rIvo It sorlous consilium
tlon. No. tho movement Is not dead,
only smouldering, and will burst out
In n strenuous flume when tho
tinm la rliui. Tim following bearing
on tho subject wo 'clip from tho
People's Press of last week:
A number of tho Ht. Johns resi
dents not fully satisfied with tho
benefits that will acme to that town
by tho building of tho Ilroadway
Ilrldno nru cnrryliiK on n cnmpalgu
to erect n suspension bridge from
St. Johns to Whltwood.. 8omo think
tho project Is too much to bo under
taken nt thu present ns tho westsldo
Is sparsly Inhabited opposite St.
Johns, nnd ns tho county would nec
essarily have to bo Interested In or
der to enrry tho project to complo
tlon. nnd aro therefore not vory en
thusiastic about pushing n matter of
10 much Importnnco nt what thoy
consider n promaturo dato.
Since tho slto of the proposed
nlnn la In St. Johns nud tho chartor
of that corporation docs not permit
of brldgo building, an appropriation
will probably bo askod of tho Log
Islaturo. In tho moautlmo It Is pro
posed that petitions be circulated,
ind n chanco bo given to ovory prop
crty-ownor In tho county to sign
thum. This Is tho only necessary
cxponso preceding placing tho mattor
boforo tho Legislature, and that is
considered Biuall.
Tho 8ui)nortors of tho plan assort
that financial assistance would prob
ably bo kIvoii by the Unltod Hallways
Co., If by tho span thoy could gain
pecess to tho Swift Packing 1'iani.
However, tho railway company Is
silent on tho question. It is inevit
able that In tho courso of tlmo tho
brldgo will be a necessity, nnd tho
moro enthusiastic can seo no good
cause for delay, especially as a num
ber of yoars will olapso betweon
tho Incipience of tho scheme and
Its final completion. ,

Deputy Constable Klornan on a war
rant Issued from tho District At

complaint in tho case Is signed by
harles W. Lenoir, a former em
nlovo of Davldor. who says tho latter
forged his name to a check drawn
his favor by O. W. Oleson. Tho
amount of the check was f 25.
Davldor was released on ball In
th sum of 1 1000 and will be given
n preliminary examination June 21.
He alloges It 1b a conspiracy again.).,
him and thit the In.l.in-ement im
the check was mado by Lenoir him

The prosecution of Davldor grew
out of an affair in which Lenior be
came Involved Thursday. Oleson gave
the check In part payment on a
pianola which Lenoir said he owned.
It later developed be did not own it
nnd was made to refund the money
yesterday morning by assistant At
torney Frank D. Hennessey. He
now says be did not receive the
money from Davldor.
Davldor has been more or less
prominent In tho courts since he

tho Interested parties wore advised

Tho mattor of Wlllamotte boulovard
was taken up, and A. M. Stearns
made a reoort on what could be
gleaned from tho records concerning
this thoroughfare augmentod with
several Important suggestions as to
the most feasible way of terminating
tho controversy. The report showed
that Mr, Stearns had gone to consid

certaining the exact status of tho
case and deserves much credit for
his enterprise in the matter. Deem

parties most vitally Interested wo

Mr. Stearns will endeavor to ef

owners and report to council next

Bills covering supplies, blacksmith

allowed.

mayor and upon confirmation by the
council the services of tho assis

Upon suggestion of Councilman
W. Davis the mayor appointed J.

If n member does nny munual labor

whon no mombor Is allowed to con

An Interesting Article on

Slnco thcro la so much Interest

Willnmotto boulovard. wo publish in
full tho dntu nnd other Information
gleaned by n careful and oxhaustlvo
rovlow ot tho records by nnd nt tho
Instanca ot Mr. A. M. Stearns, which
ho delivered to tho city council last
Tuesday night. Tho nrtlclo la con
cise, logical nnd contains n common
sense view of thu situation, Whether
or not you nro directly Interested in
this thoroughfare It will bo worth
your while to road It. It follows:
Portlnnd, Oregon, Juno 22, 1009.
To tho Honorable Mayor nud Coun
cil ot St. Johns.
Gentlemen:
As agreed somo weeks nlnco I
havo secured an abstract of all pro
cecdlngs relative to Willamette
Bouluvnrd thnt wo woro able to find,
and will for tho purpose ot snvlng
you tlmo statu thu result In 11 con
doused form.
An ordinance passed In 1891 re
cites nt ureal length lands con
demned, with list of owners, pro
ceedings ot viewers, damages as
sessed! etc., ota.but tnkun tho boulo
vard only to n point now lying In
Portland.
Thereafter an ordinance wan
passed continuing said bouluvurd In
thu following words, to-wlt:
"Willamette boulevard shall bo
100 feet wldu throughout Its ontlro
course, beginning at n point where
tho section lino between section 21
and 22, Twp. 1 N., It. 1 10. inter
sects the blurt of Willnmotto rlvor;
thence following tho bluff through
Abrnm's nnd Knox' tracts, nnd
through tracts of land to Wltynm
otto boulovard In Willnmotto; thenco
along tho lust named boulevard
through Wlllamotto nnd Arbor
Iodk'o to nud through tho laud ot
John Mock; thenco to Ht. Johns,"
You will readily boo that tho
crucial point In this mutter now Is
to know what tho boundnry of St.
Johns was at tho dato this ordlnnuco
wns passed. I havo not had tlmo
personally to examine this, but as
sumo that tho pnrty to whom I in
trusted tho uxnmlnntlon Is correct.
At any rate ho finds ns follows;
At that tlmo tho Hast lino of St.
Johns was Main street, now Hlch
mond streot, making tho westerly
terminus of tho boulovard ut that
tlmo opposite Sixth ntrcot or Fill
more street. At that tlmo tho
viewers appropriated Iniuls ns fol
lows:
"Lands belonging to 8. J. Adams,
lying between tho west lino of A.
L, Minors' Addition and tho East
sldo of Main street within CO foot of
boulovard and a tract belonging to
W. W. Caples, lying between tho
West lino ot Miner's Addition nnu
tho East lino of Main street within
CO feet of tho contor of said boulo
vurd."
A leiilslatlvo Act was passed Feb
ruary 17, 1899, transferring the con
trol and management ot tho said
boulovard from tho city of Portland
to Multnomah County, making samo
a county road. This Act has noth
ing to do of course In determining
tho location of tho boulovard or its
oxtont, but simply transfers Its
management to tho county, as 11
was left by tho Alblna council. Ex
amination of tho records of tho city
of Portland does not show that any
thine was dono relative to this af
tor the Alblna Act until tnkon over
by the County. It Is probable that
thu Intention by those having tho
mattor In chargo wub to mako Will
amette boulovard 100 feet wide to

wero seomingly Incomplete, and by
no moans Bottlo tho question In dls

St. Johns owning upon tho boulo

aggravato tho situation, and I fear
nukes It Impossible to coutluuo with
the Improvements under contompla
tlon, unless It bo on a compromise
upon u coromonsenso and equitable
basis, for which purposo I beg to
mako tho following suggestions;
I am advised that If attempt Is
