FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17. 1909 The women of the land will have an anxious time of it when the ecu sus enumerators endeavor to ascer tain their true ages. Kenton seems to be gobbling all the new industries these days, and vet docs not have the location and natural advantages that St. Johns is blessed with. Must be more nusli and encrtrv in force in that part of the peninsula. If we beiirudKc the most import ant industry in St. Johns the use of ususcd and nt present worthless streets, what kind of n reputation anions site seekers for new indus tries nrc we likely to establish? Is that the proper way to foster, cher ish and encourage the industries that have already located here? Would the mill company have se lected a site in St. Johns if it was known that they would be harass ed and annoyed by our citizens? Doesn't such tilings have a way of getting noised abroad in a manner that is far from beneficial to the city from which they originate? Patronize those who advertise in the Review. They arc the ones that arc most alive nud willing to do most for the city. They realize that if a newspaper is to exist at all it must have advertising patronage. They know that it pays to adver tise, and they arc willing to do their share. The Review may not be as good as many might wish for and is not as good as we would like to make it, but it is fully as good as its advertising patronage justifies. When the editor is required to fill n printer's place inside nud edit the paper besides in order to make both cuds meet the paper cannot get the attention it should have. With less than half the business men ad vertising it is utterly impossible to enlarge the paper, as wc had hoped to do at different times. There fore, it becomes necessary to await the coming of more public-spirited It is getting time now that an ef fort be made for the construction of a suspension bridge between St. Johns and Whltwood Court. The legislature meets next year and petition a "mile long" praying that this matter be taken up by that body should be in readiness and presented to them when they con vene. The free ferry proposition is a decidedly dead one now, and a high bridge seems to be the only feasible solution of making the crossing of the river easy and economical. Such n bridge would be the means of op ening up a territory in the Tualatin valley from which St. Johns could draw an immense amount of trade. If the United Railways Co. could be induced to put up a substantial amount for the privilege of crossing with their cars, and the automobile club of Portland do likewise for completing a magnificent auto route, it should not be such a dif ficult matter to induce the legisla ture to provide for the balance if the petition is numerously signed. To get the petitions before the peo ple for signatures the services ot 1 couple of good men would be nee cssary to circulate the papers in the manner that they should be. 1 His will reauirc more or less money. To raise a few dollars for this purpose a public meeting suouiu oe caueii and contributions solicited. The beginning of the new year would be an admirable time to start tlic ball rolling. Now if the mayor will call public meeting for discussion of this subject a step in the right dl rcction will have been taken. Ad dresses can be made and plans out lined for a vigorous caupalgu. Wc need the bridge, but we will never get it unless wc go after It. Let the meeting be called and let us get down to business. t Advertising seems to be uu art yet to be discovered by some peo- ilc. That is the practical part of t. A constant stream of water from one or more Arc engines will soon extinguish or get under con trol n very large fire, while a few buckets of water, dashed on here and there, have little or 110 effect. The modern fire department is practical, and so with modern ad vertisingplenty of it, tiled in a practical, common-sense and judi cious manner, pays, If you want to catch a certain kind of fish, you use a certain kind of bait; not all fish bite at all kinds of bait. Not all people respond to every adver tisement. The newspaper is n medium indispensable to the ma jority of advertisers, because of its wide and repeating circulation. As a promoter of trade and profit, newspaper advertising is no longer mi onen (mention: that is. when done 111 n practical and intelligent manner, and pays because of its ef fectiveness and cheapness.

UUl.UKK, Att'y for i'lalntlQ. To the Citizens of St. Johns: Regarding the leasing the streets to the mill company to put a water tower and tank to be used as a fire protection for the company. Now suppose that at the expiration of this lease the mill company would not remove the water tank off the street, in that case it would be up to the city of St. Johns to move it, would it not? Now then, as tills tank is con nected with their water system for fire protection and the city is com pclled to disconnect this water to remove the water tank, you can sec what the liabilities are that could follow; a fire at this time could des troy the mill company's property and who would be responsible for the loss 11 It would not be the insur ance companies, for the protection would be disconnected and 1 am sure that the mill compa'jy would not lose it; now who wot Id be the loser, if the city give the parties the right to build the tauk in the street and the city knew at this time that the company was going to build a water tank in the street for this purpose? Now, then, what do you think a jury would decide? Would it decide that the mill com pauy should lose this property, or would it decide that the city of St. Johns should lose it? Now does this not look reasonable consider ing this great water system for fire protection that has cost this com pany several thousand dollars to in stall and the nronertv is insured with this system in good working order; now if the mill company goes ahead aud puts up a water tank on tins street without the permission of the city council they could be made to remove it without the dan ger of being held liable for daina gcs. Now the only way that the city could move this tuuk from the Ptrcct would be to build a new tank and connect it with the system for fire protection nud then tear down the one in the street. Now then a question may arise where would the council or city build it? Would they have to build it on another street or would they have to pur chase a lot to put the tank on? Now then docs it not appear that the better way would be to not til low the company to erect n water tank in the street at all, aud then wc would not be compelled to ever force them to move off the street for this. As for thinking that the city could get them off easier if they had a lease on the streets thun they can now, if the city has a right to lease the streets it is certain that they have the right to demand that they be cleared of buildings or any thing that is a hindrance to the use and benefits of the public in general. It looks to me as if there was a "nigger in the wood pile" some where, for it seems as though any sane mau would see where this is liable to lead to if this lease is given as proposed. Now it is up to the citizens not to allow this to be done as proposed aud I hope that the authorities will consider the leasing proposition and not lease It nt all for any improve mcnts that is of a permanent na ture such as this tauk would be when completed. I wish to state further that if I had not complained and urged the authorities to stop it, which they did, and ordered the obstruction removed it would now be up, but it has not been removed and consid ering the present outlook it looks as though it would be many years before it will be removed, but we hope that the city council will have it removed.
