Council Kept Busy Push
ing Matters Along
All moiiibcrs responded to roll call
nl tlio reculr nieotlnc of tho city
council Tucsdny uvcnlng with Mayor
Hendricks In tho chnlr. MIiiuIcb of
the provlous meeting wero rond and
approved,
A communication wiib read from
Mrs. Nancy Cuplca in regard to tlio
opening and extension of Hlclimond
street throuult tho Copies tract. Mrs
Cnples stated that sho bollovod tho
riHHOHHiiiciit mndo by tho vluwurn wan
Inonultablo. and that tho property
adjoining Leonard street should hear
nart of tho burden. Taking Into con
slderntlon what sho had dedicated to
tho city, sho hellovcd her assess,
nieiit was entirely too IiIrIi and bo
lloved a now deal was In order. Up
on motion tho communication was
accepted and ordered placed on file.
Tho viewers report on this street
was road. 801110 discussion followed,
and u communication read from tho
Sovoruneo heirs objecting to tho iltini
iw;es placed upon their trlnugulnr
strip of laud condemned by tho city.
Thuy claimed that tho $750 allowed
by tho viewers was too little for tho
ground and tho $50 allowed on the
building would not pay for removal
of same. Thoroforo, they, also, bo.
lloved a now deal was In ordor. This
communication was also accepted and
placed on file. A communication
was then read from M. L. Ilolbrook
stating that ho hud no objection to
tho assessment placed ngulnst his
prbporty, but hoped that work would
bo pushed with dispatch on thin Im
portant thoroughfare. After somo
consideration It wan decided to refor
tho matter back to tho viewers for
readjustment. Tho viewers arc I.
Illll, Chns. Unqulst and Thos. Coch
ran. A communication was rend from
A, M. Stearns regarding tho niattor
of Willamette boulevard. Ho stated
that tho affair was still unsettled, but
that tho Wostorn Cooporngo Co. of
ficially ngroos to placo comont sldo
wolks along tholr entlro property If
n nomproiuUo could bo effected mak
ing tho boulovtird SO foot wldo. This
together with Mr. Stourns property
n front of which ho also agroes to
luy cement walk In tho ovont of a
tompromUo, would mako practically
n continuous cemont walk on tho
river side from Plerco street to tho
cut provided tho boundary be estab
lished at eighty feet. Communication
was accoptod and ordored placed on
file.
Geo a. Cnrhart, who Is vitally In
forested In this thoroughfaro, then
took tho floor and among other
things stated that according to tho
records through tho Caples, Adams
and Miner additions the stroet was
made 100 feet wldo In tho same
viewers' report, and that tho report
ws adopted by tho old Alblna coun
ell. Mr. Carhart was very emphatic
la declaring that tho property own
era along the eastern side of tho
stroet would hold out for a hundred
foot boulevard, oven though It blocked
Improvement at the present tlrao.
A. Mr. Sparks from University
Park was present and entered an ob
Jutlon to tho placing of an apron'
or entrance on the back part of his
lot on Hayes, between Burlington
and Lyvltt streets. Ho said that
hU deed called for 100 feet, and that
no provision had over been made for
an alley. Therefore, he asked that
tho approach be removed anu a
regulation curb bo installed Instead.
Upon Investigation the fact was
brought out that the engineer . had
tho contractor place the apron there
upon the Instance of Thos. Cochran
and others who claimed provision for
an, alley had been made. The mat
ter was referred to tho street com
mittee for adjustment, but tho fact
is patent to all that the approach Is
more of a, benefit than a detriment
because the lot Is a business ono and
the party who places a structure there
will no doubt want a means of en
trance to the rear of his building,
but Mr. Sparks, apparently, cannot
seo It that way,
A communication was read from
the Portland Gas Co. In which they
accepted the frauchlso granted them
by council several weeks ago. A
check for $5,000 as an evidence of
good faith and the faithful carrying
out ot the provisions of their fran
chlse was also enclosed.

Prices of Water Frontage
Almost Probatory
Tho St, Johns Commercial club
met In their comfortable rooms In
tht Ilolbrook building Wednesday
evening and an interesting meeting
ensued. It wus decided to reduco
tho number necessary to constltuto
n (Uorum from ten to soven, as
some of the mumbcrn nro slow about
arriving at tho hour when tho bob
slon should begin, and therefore If
tin quorum Is reduced tho meetings
generally can begin on time. A
ommunlcntlon from n Portland
party seeking a slto of uhout twenty
acres with water and rail facilities
for an Industrial plant costing $31)0,
000 and employing from 300 to COO
employes wan taken up and discussed
No ono present know of such a slto
except at an exorbitant price. Wo
huvo plenty of water front hero In
Km virgin state, but tho price asked
In somo cases Is almost ridiculous.
For Instnnco ono party asks $230,-
000 for 14 acres near tho woolen
mills, and n little farther down $260,-
000 lit asked for CO acres. Prices
like these nro enough to discourage
any plant from seeking u location on
tho water front. It was suggested
Hut tho assessor bo notified ot the
cmiunous prices asked for this prop
erty and request that ho mako his
am'Msmouttt In accordance with tho
value tho owners place upon their
holdings, in thin way tho city treas
ury would bo n substantial gainer
and the small property ownor whoso
house nud lot Is nsscssed to tho
limit would bo placed on nn equality
with tho Inrgo proporty owners, If
the) had to pay several thousuml dol-
art- taxes each year perhaps tho
prlco might bo placed somowhero
within reach of industrial plants.
Tho commltteo on dnnclug In tho
ikw city dock was not qulto ready
to submit n report, but expect to bo
able to announco tho date noxt week.
The good of tho city was discussed
and It was decided that morosmoko
slacks nro needed on the wator front
and tho ways and means will bo
sought to socuro somo more.
Big Time at Whitwood
Whitwood Court Intends celebrat
ing tho glorious Fourth In a fitting

Peninsula to Celebrate
Preuaratlons for celebrating tho

a danco both afternoon and evening.
Can Do Better Here
The Hendricks Hardware Co. this
week secured several large orders for
material from Portland parties. If
It pays Portland people to como to
St. Johns to trade, It certainly does
not pay St. Johns people to do their
trading In Portland. The sooner our
citizens realize this the better U
will bo for our city.

ST. JOHNS
While Times Are Not Booming Here Particularly, Yet There
is No City of Its Size in the Union That is Mak
ing a Better Showing. Stay With It
Wo havo heard a number of com
plaints about tho quietness of times
In St. Johns lately, and sovornl pes
rlmlsts aro doing their best to dis
courage tho people by croaking about
still harder times to como before tho
nuinmor Is over. Wo bollovo ovory
ono will concedo that there Is plenty
of room for Improvement, but thoro
In no re a no 11 for giving up hope. If
times do Room rather alow In St.
Johns and but llttlo life and activ
ity In apparent upon tho streets, no
ono should bo discouraged, however
much at times they may feci that
way. St. Johns Is doing her very
best, under conditions now existing
here, and whllo thlngn nro not as
flourishing nn wo would nil desire,
yet tho namo state of affairs oxlst
in other localities, whoro In many
Instances times nro much worse and
more depressing. Reports from tho
nst nltest that times nro exceedingly
dull nnd llttlo or nothing doing, nud
It Is tho same from nil points of
the compnsn. Much an wo dcslro to
disguise tho fact, there Is no deny
ing that times throughout tho na
tion nro now nnd have boon for somo
tlmo practlcnlly at n standstill. Tho
big guns nnd capitalists or tho
country may proclaim that times nro
rnpldly Improving everywhere, yet
wo all know It Is far from tho truth.
They an, In fact, llttlo If nny better
than thoy wero a year ago.
Wo believe, howover, that times
nro on tho ovo of Improvement and
that tho next fow months will wit-tit-US

An Obliging Official
"Lut 'um kiss tholr heads off:
glvo 'ont room,"" was tho gist of an
order handed down to tho pollen ot
ittsbuns by Supertondeiil Thomas
McQualdo when asked for u decision
n spooning In tho big public purks
In that city. Aa a result McQualdo
Is perhaps tho most popular police or
flclal that has ovor been In Pitta-
burg.
What Is still bottor. tho great
American prlvilogo of tho young man
to take his boat girl Into tho parks
and there kiss her if sho Is willing
will not be curtailed In thla city
In spite of the protests of tho eldor-
ly women of Pittsburg, who havo been
to see the chief of pollco to have
lovemaking stopped In tho parks. The
pollco have been ordered not to in
terfere.
"I don't like tho lovers' lanes In
the parks thoso long dark ways
when lovers have been In tho habit
of hiding but favor more benches,
where tho light is subdued enough
not to embarrass the young pooplo
In
the park." said Chief McQualdo,
If I can assist the young roan and
young woman to an hour's quiet tlrao
together In our parks, am going to
do it. Let 'em kiss, sure. And, what
more, wo want to glvo them better
accommodations than thoy have at
this time. We want to put In more
benches, where more kissing parties
can bo held, If a fellow wants to
take his best girl to tho park, and
there give her a Ht,lo squeeze and
few kisses, and she Is willing
why, more power to thorn both.
"I'm their friend, and down witn
the calamity howlers. More light,
more benches and more kissing in me
parka looks lino a pretty good plat
form." Getting in Shape
The stove works .at the foot of
Richmond street are rapidly getting
la shape to turn out stoves and
ranges at a rapid rate. About 30
hands will be employed at this in
stitution and it bids fair to becomo
very Important industry for St.
I Johns,
IS GOOD AS
tholr business to tho utmost limit.
Then tho crops never gavo a brighter
promlso than thoy do now, which will
mean tho bringing of millions of dol
lars to' tho Northwest, So wo oliould
take heart, oven If wo nro barely
making a living, because thcro aro
mnny pcopla In theso United Stntes
who nro not doing thnt. St. Johns,
by reason of her environments nud
natural ndvnntagen, will bo nmong
tho first to take on now nfo and
hustlo.
Whllo tho lull Is on It will not pny
to seak another location In tho hopu
of finding times moro flourishing, be
causo that placo docs not exist to
day, unless It Is experiencing nn oil
or milling boom nnd In up today
nnd down tomorrow. Ho It Is better
to stand pat. Stay with St. Johns
and It will not bo long until you will
bo glad you did so. liven the worst
pessimist wo have will con
cedo that as far an tho ultlmnlu
outcome In concerned, nn city has
brighter prospects. Portland, In her
younger dnys, panned through many
depressing and discouraging times,
but tho onus who stood by It nro
numbered nmong tho wealthy men of
that city today. So It will hu hero.
II may requlru pluck, determination
and tenacity to hold on In some
cases, but It will pny.
It la bottor to take nn optimistic
view of things, nnd If wo do so wo
will find that times It) St. Johns nro
not so bnd as many Imagine. Moro

Child Buried Alive
A dispatch to thu Journal from
Modesto, Cat., Juno 25th, contains
tho following statomont:
That he burled his G-yoar-old
brother, Theodore, allvo In tho hog
pen 011 his father's ranch, was con
fessed today by 12-year-old Frank
Hopkins, son or n rancher of this
place.
Tho boy's back was torn lllorally
to shreds by u charge of No. 4 shot,
fired by tho oldor boy, Frank nd
milted tho crime when questioned by
tho offlcors. Tho discovery of parti
clos of sand and mud In tho nostrils
and throat of tho dead child led to
a further Investigation on tlio ptrt
of Coroner Ilowkor. Under tho
questioning of tho coroner, Frank
horrified tho officers by unuouucliig
that Ms baby brothor wob allvo whon
he dragged him to tho hog pen and
covered him with thu filthy earth. (
"Whon wo wero eating lunch myj
brother wnntoa to pin egg nnu augur
on his bread," said the boy. "I didn't
want him to, so I hit him In tho
head with a knlfo.
"When ho wont out of doors, I got
tho guii and shot htm, I carried him
back of 'ho house and burled him.
He wiggled whllo I was throwing tho
dirt oVer him."
Didn't Like the Color
When a bottle or hair restorer
turned Mrs. Koto J. Moesofs hair
Into a bright green sho sued Charlos
H. Grlmley, the manufacturer of tho
tonic for damages and a local court
In Now York City gavo her a ver
dict for $500. Tho manufacturer's do
fenso rested on tho testimony or a
man and his wiro who declared that
they had used tho restorer with per
fect satlstactlon, but when It devel
oped that they had received compen
sation for writing testimonials tho
court threw tbo evidence out and
gave a verdict for damages.
J. S. Downey will leave next week
for Douglass county, this stato, where
he Is Interested In a gold mine. Sam
will likely como back with his pock-
jets bulging with "yellow boys."

Swallowed a Spider
A spider hwnllowod by Knlherlno
IKgon, tho 0-yonr-old daughior of
