I am n firm believer in "the direct primary law, statement No. t find let the people rule." K. C. COUCH. The annexation question has bobbed tin again. Two or more local individuals arc strangely and utiacctistotncdly industrious in cir culating petitions to bring the mat ter before the voters at the Novem ber election. It requires 15 per cent of the voters as indicated at the last election to gel the proposi tion on the ballot. It is said that a number have already been se cured and the probabilities arc that the required number will be ob tained. Many arc appending their signatures in order that n vote may be taken upon the issue, while oth ers have done so because they arc not fully enlightened as to what an nexation with Portland would mean to St. Johns, and as they now view the matter arc of the opinion that it would be best for the city to annex. Ifeforc going very deep into the subject it would be well to consider whom is at the head of this sudden movement. Are they men who have proven them selves to bu boosters for St. Johns, or the reverse? Hnve they ever done anything to help St. Johns prosper? Arc they men in whom you can place confidence to lead aright, or are they men who for a few paltry dollars would take any side of any question? Arc they live, energetic and capable men, or merely store box warmers seeking an outlet for their discontent? Have you ever heard any of them speak 11 good word for St. Johns, and arc they the kind of men who would likely go out of their way to J. W.

Ilullding in Sti Johns is going right ahead with undiminished vig or, and it is by no means confined to any one district. All over the city the atmosphere is charged with the sound of the hammer and saw. Alex Scales will leave next week for Rock Creek, Wash., where he will spend a couple of weeks nugliug for elusive mountain trout and searching for n few "bar." That he will have a fine time goes with out saying.

If the leaders of any movement arc not ubove re proach, It is always wise to inves tigate said movement. We do not say that the leaders of the present movement ure not, yet it behooves the people of St. Johns to consider well, look into their lives and mo tives, and if they find them clean, it is then time to consider the pro ject they so strongly advocate.

As competition is thus ellmi uated the city will be compelled lo pay whatever price the clay pipe people demand or do without a sew er, U is claimed that the price will be no higher than If there was no competition, but it rermlres wnn. drous faith jn humauity to believe that a trust will not exact to the limit when opportunity is thus sn delightfully opened to them.
