NO. 26 Adftorned Meeting Oregon Tuberculosis Prof. Frank Ely Secures a Lively Match Sewer System Under Way Local and Otherwise ST JOHNS At the adjourned meeting of council last Friday night the .con irovcrsy over the width of Willis boulevard was effectually settled or some time to come so far as the city council is concerned. Council man Downey injected some Solo monic wisdom into the affair by making a motion that council have nothing more to do with it until the property owners get together and decide just what they want and what they will agree to. The motion carried without a dissenting voice. A petition for the improvement,! of Leonard street, John to Charles ton, was referred back to the petit ioners to ascertain if they were not willing for a six-foot cement walk instead of a five-foot one, as called for in the pctitioui Council is un alterably opposed to five-foot side walks so close to the heart of the city. Petitions for fire hydrants nt cor oners of Hayes and Maple and Ta-coma-and Bradford streets wrrc re ceived., The former wus referred to the water and light committer and the latter ordered filed. Petition from the Commercial club asking for the us. of-tin- emin ell chamber whenever oee.i.noii fo; so doing arose was accepted and the request granted. Resolutions accepting the plans and profiles as furnished by the city engineer for three sewer dis tricts were adopted, and resolutions deeming it necessary that this work K be done were ordered drawn oy ine city attorney. An ordinance provilllng for the time and manner of improvement of Kellogg street, New York to Chicago,, passed the council, and a call for bids was ordered published. Same appears in this issue. Mayor Hendricks broached the subject of violation of the telephone ordinance by the Pacific Telephone Co,, and .the recorder was directed to assemble all the data beariug on the proposition and have same in readiness for Tuesday evening's session. A Narrow Escape Lynn Weiuier had a narrow es cape from death last Friday. He was about to pull himself to the scat of a wagon that had just been hitched to a team of horses .when he slipped and fell underneath the horses' feet. They became startled and started to go, and the wheel passed over the vouu lad's neck. On account of' its position the wheel lifted wim-whit from, the floor as it passed over the boy, else Ills neck would doubtteas have been broken by the experience. The wagon contained about 2300 pounds of grain. The lad sustained some severe bruises, but ao bones were broken. He is a son of J. K. Weimer. the rlravman. and the ac cident happened la the feed stable. Bitten by a Dog John Murray, a Journal carrier boy, was badly bitten by a dog while making his rounds Sunday morning. While delivering a paper at the residence of Mrs. Damon ou Charleston street, a vicious dog belonclncr to the house, seised the lad and bit him badly upon the leg Mrs. Damon, it is said, bound the wound un .with a cloth" saturated with carbolic acid, the burning of which, counted with the pain of the bite, threw the child 1 into spasms.

MThaa eerteiaJy iyafjtais kSoiUhHaya Life's a hard battle anyway, no matter how you take it, but those who learn to fight it right, arc very sure to make it. Two hundred thousand every year, ought well to make a fellow fear he too may fall before the plague, which marches on despite the Hague. If 'twere the Japs upon, our land, slaying with pucli a mighty Hand, we d rise as one against the foe, and off the map Nippon would go. Then why so idly sit at ease white creeps upon us foul disease, to pluck the fairest from our land, when care can save us from his hand. ' A tubercle bacillus is said to be to.oooxt-too.ooo of an inch in measurement, and compared with an Oregon fir log, is certainly a mere trine. But two is company, three is a crowd, and a billion is a whole lot more. And when these nfinitcsimal garden thistles get .n good lodgment in a lazy cavity of an unused portion of the lung, they can warm a man up with a P. M fever and give him a sweat at night. And the very best time to cure the infection is before you get t. Tight bauds about the waist, which prevent a free inflation of the tings at every u renin, were in vented by the man who wanted to ntrodtice the bacilli into. the human economy just to sec how many peo ple would die of the experiment. No friend of mankind will aid in the work of afflicting and constrict- ng the lung cavity preparatory to tubercle infection. Every son and aughtcr of the land should be in structed to be proud of n large full chest,, at Its, base as 'well as its apex. Uvcry school should have regular drill in full, deep chest and abdomi nal breathing. The use of the diaphragm as an organ of inspira tion should be made as plain as proper mastication of food. The mental faculties, the voice, the blood, will be greatly benefitted, and (he whole body will be net' in tunc to laugh at germs. But at the same time a quickened intelli gence will take those precautions agaiuit the geaerat foe which knowl edge decrees arc essential. The nubile drinking cud will be avoided as a" pestiferous evil, the milk sup ply will be guarded, cleanliness ot premises uud war on flies will all be kept in hand, and well, won't everybody quit bathing that five lundred square feet 01 ueucaie ung tissue with deadly nicotine and empcuramatic oil?

Council met in regular session as usual Tuesday night with all mem bers present and Mayor Hendricks presiding. It was an evening de voted almost exclusively to strtct and sewer work, and It was a late lour when the tired solons decided to call a halt with business still upon the table. The lirst matter taken up was n petition praying for the improve ment of North Ivanhoe street, from Catlin to the Weyerhaeuser tract, with 6-foot cement walk and macad am cement surface. The engineer was directed by resolution to pre pare the necessary plans, profile uud estimates for said Improvement. A petition for the improvement f North Edison street, Fesscndcii to St. Johns avenue, in like manner met with the same treatment. A plat of 1010 Addition, pre sented to council for its acceptance by the 1910 Real Estate Co., was ircctcd to be signed by the mayor. This tract is a new one iu,st being opened up between Oswego street aud the county road. A remonstrance against tue im provement of Tyler street was ac cepted nml ordered filed, it not being strong enough to prevent the mprovemcut proceeding. mils to the amount ot 5120.04 were allowed. Councilman J. S. Downey was elegnted to scenic signers to n petition fur the improvement of Brudford street, l'csscmleu to Kicn- moud, by planking same the entire istaucc with the exception 01 a six foot cement walk on the easterly side. A resolution to change the grade of Burlington street met with de cided opposition, several of the councllmcu not being Satisfied with the proposed new grade on account of not reaching fur enough up hill. Upon vote Messrs. Iltller, Johnson, Cook aud Davis voted iu the affirm ative, and Windle, Downey and Dobie in the negative. The resolu tion was declared adopted. several representatives of tue Kenton Cement Sewer Pipe Co were present aud spoke in favor of their pipe, nud asked lor no favors, but a fair field. The mayor prom ised that when the time is ripe for etting sewer contracts that this company would be given an oppor tunity .0 present bids. A resolution providing for the aylng of nn adequate sewer main on Maple street with the necessary branches or laterals leading thereto was adopted. This is designated as Sewer District No. 3. A spirited discussion was created by a couple of property owners on Leonard street asking tor tue privi- ege of laying a nine-foot parking along the sidewalk for one block during the improvement of this street. A motion to grant the re quest was lost by lack of support. The dads arc willing to permit this ate fancied method of street adorn ment if several blocks arc willing to set the pace at one time, but one block alone did not look good to them. A resolution providing for the relaying of a sewer main on Phila delphia street with branches aud laterals pertaining thereto was adopted. One councilman believed that the laterals should be laid just as they were needed, but Council man Downey rase to his feet at once anu stated mat ine city 01 St. Johns should do at least one thing iu a thorough manner, that the data was all at baud to perfect this system, and therefore, the city should have a sewer system all could point to with a feeling of pride. It was decided, then, to make a complete job of it once und for all. This district is designated as No. 1. x ue uurungtou street, or District No. 3 main, was held over 0 week penditfg a few minor details to be worked out, but it will no doubt be adopted next Tuesday eveuiug. Au ordinance changing the names of Nicklin and Mears street to Olvmpia, and Astor to Banks street, all iu Meringo Addition, was passed. Ordinances providing for the time and manner of improving Tyler street, Jersey to Crawford, aud South Hayes. Buchanan to Polk, were also passed aud appear ia tlus issuer Ou motion the street committee was directed to ascertain the nature of hard surface the property owners along Jersey street desired, or if 4hey were unable, to agree the street committee was requested to mane a recommeudatiou, Owing to the lateness of the hour the data bearing on the telephone matters was delayed for another week.
