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. A physWau araa sum
tnoued Who alleviated hU wferiags
and no ill effects are likely to re
suit. Dogs wkh a disfiosiHoa of
this nature should aot be teSerated
in the city, or any other ptace for
mat matter.

O, Oregon, the Wcbfoot State,
Where great Columbia swiftly rolls,
Bear gently ir. your kindly heart,
Tlje pioneer's heroic soul.
Hood I ve seen more than fitly years,
In haughty grandeur, white and
high,
His snow white crest bright as the
stars
That gem the everlasting sky.
Behold old Meant, in kingly pride,
Hold high his head, serene and
great;
Perpetual snows his royal crown,
His wide domain this fruitful state.,
Forever stand, most noble mount,
In adamantine strength and pride,
A witness 'to each human change.
The ebb unci flow of human tide.
Amqng the few who dancer faced,
Along the river of the Wot,
I vet still live, while oth.rs steep
The sloop of valor's penc-'fiil rest.
A native pioneer with them,
I knew their dangers uud their
fears,
And that their lives made Oregon
The hope and pride of future years.
.My dear old mother's face I s?c,
In' modern house, though furnished
plain.
Where once the log house sheltered
all,
Beucath'thc locust in the lane.
Though time has wrought in form
and. face
The Huts of sorrow, toll and care,
Her Ipyal love still hovers round
The henrth-stonc fire and vacant
chairs. '
Across the years there, comes the
sound
Of happy voices, time has hushed,
see in dreams the vanished torms,
That .death has met and coldly
crushed. ',
Solemn peals' I hear at St. Johns,
Recalling old friends gone to rest,
.a a f
Where rings tne Deu tor joyoiia
youth, 1 y
And tolls its knell at death's behest.
Beneath a sky where rose and rose
Blend grace and beauty, side by
side,
Some fate ordains that he who
failed.
May wait the coming eventide.
And rest and sleep and take no
note
Of love or war. uud hear no sound,
But see, perhaps, the skein of life
Untangled, straightened and re
wound.

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? It s the
only hope for the boys.

A number of convenient altera
tiousare being made iu the 'city
recorders oficc.
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,
