In another column will be found
nu article from the pen of H. C.
Hurlbcrt in which two features of
the annexation question is taken
up and construed as arguments in
favor of annexation. We desire to
take issue with Mr. Hurlbcrt and
attempt to show where he is wrong
in his deductions. In the first
place he states and endeavors to
prove that St. Johns has no "indiv
iduality," because two or three in
dtistrial plants have seen fit to in
corporate under the initial title of
"Portland." Let us sec. The
first he cites is the Portland Manu
facturing Co., and the next the
Portland Woolen Mills. Doth these
industries were established when
St. Johns was NOT on the map
nnd its population was scarcely 300
souls; in fact, a small village that
was utterly unknown outside of the
county. Today how different. St.
Johns is ON the map and is known
in most every state of the union.
We arc willing to admit that St.
Johns at that time HAD no iden
tity, and it is our impression that
the Portland Manufacturing plant
was established here when St.
was a part of Portland. As to the
Jobcs Milling Co. the reason they
use the style "St. Johns, Portland,"
is because there is n town in Wash
ington state named "St. John" and
much of their mail matter was lia
ble to and in some cases did go to
that point. Hence the "Portland"
attachment. Isn't it just as reasona
ble to claim that St. Johns should
be called "Host on" because n cer
tain bakery here styles itself the
"IJoston" Uakery? No one will
pretend that St. Johns has as much
publicity as Portland, but it has
vastly more than University Park,
Mt. Scott, Scllwood or Albiiia. If
any one has any doubt on this point
he should take n trip around the
country and ask the coplc if they
over heard of any of these places,
and men asK tiiein it tliey ever
heard of St. Johns. While Mr.
Hurlbcrt is u good fellow and hns
done much for St. Johns, yet we
believe this jvoint is illy taken.
So much for point No. 1. Let
us now look at his other proposi
tion. He estimates that we have
1600 houses in St. Johns. This is
about 500 too high, but for argu
ment sake we shall call It 1C00, On
yards at a saving of 65 cents per
yard means a total saving of $26,
000 or $400 more than Mr. Hurl
bert's estimate, to snv nothing of
the 2 1-2 ccuts royalty. Mr. Neasc's
contract holds good and is made
with the city of St. Johns, not with
the city of Portland. He can throw
his contract up any time after an
ucxation takes place.
Now, Mr. Hurlbcrt, if your
statement is made in good faitu,
with this proposition before you
would it be expectiug too much to
presume that from this time for
ward you will "fight annexation?"

A Very Low Bid
P. J. Peterson, who received the
contract for sidewalk and grade of
I'csscudcu street, registered the
lowest bid made in recent years
cither in Portland or St. Johns.
x lie sidewalk, for instance, was
taken at 95 cents per lineal foot,
whereas Lombard street in Port'
laud, of similar length, was recent
ly awarded at $1.10 per lineal foot.
Chas. Ii, l'ottagc, a Portland con
tractor, who had the next lowest
bid on I'cssciidcu, states that he
made his bid as low as he could
safely make it, and he cannot pos
sibly sec now Air. l'cterson can
even break even. "Pete," how
ever, generally knows what he is
about, and would not have taken
the contract unless he could see his
way out. Portland contractors
usually give us a wide birth when
street work is bid upon.

this basis he estimate the saving of
water rates to be twelve dollars H.r
year to each bouse. According to
the books of the water company
only about one house in every
eleven is paying more than twelve
dollars jkt year for water. So even
if we could secure Hull Utiti water
(which by the way we cannot) only
one-eleventh of the eople would be
linemen uy reduction in price, un
the gas proposition less than one
eleventh of the eople of St. Julius
urc using gas, we understand, ami
only about one-eleventh of these are
using more than the minimum of
one dollar, which is also the mini
mum in Portland, So Mr, Hum
bert's estimate uiiitit needs be con
siderably reduced, or in other words
lie divided by at least eleven in these
two instances. We believe he is
correct as to the difference in in
suratice rates, but whether this dif
ference would remain after annexa
tion is difficult to foresee because it
would require better fire protection
than we now have to reduce it. Thus
it can be seen that one iersoii in
every eleven might be benefited IP
things would come to pass as Mr,
Hurlbcrt has outlined.
Mr. Hurlbert states; "If there
were other things we would lose to
offset the gain, I would be the first
to fight annexation." I,ct us sub
mit a proposition: The city of St.
Johns has a contract with M. O.
Nease to furnish the city of St.
Johus with crushed rock at 35 cents
per yard at the crusher and out of
this pay the city as royalty for use
of quarry aud utilities 2 1-2 cents
per yard. We have been reliably
informed that the best price the
city of Portland can get crushed
rock for is $ 1.50 per yard and up
ward. The city engineer has esti
mated that it will require 40,000
yards of crushed rock to supply
what is needed for streets planned
for improvement next year. The
difference between 85 cents and
$1.50 is 65 cents. Take .o,ooo

Samuel Cochran was born
I.ooster county, Maine, October
1852, and died October 8, 1910,
hence was 58 years, 11 mouths and
27 days of age. The deceased hud
not been in good health for over a
year, but his departure was doubt
less hastened by an accident he met
with some five weeks ago at Smith's
Crossing. As he was driving along
the road his horse became fright
ened at an automobile, and making
a sudden turn, upset the cart, which
tell upon lilui in sttcli a way as to
severely crush him about the chest
Prom this accident it seems he
never fully recovered, and as heart
fuilure was the cause of his death,
it is likely that this accident hast'
cued it to quite an extent,
Prom Maine he moved to Wis
cousin and 111 both states he and
his brother, Thomas, were partners
in the lumber business. He came
to Oregon eight years ago last May
and had been a partner with his
brother, Thomas, in the contracting
business, to whom lie soul out scv
eral years ago, and had since been
in tue saioon business, lie never
married, utid since his brother
Thomas' marriage has made his
home with him and family. "Sam."
as he was familiarly called, was a
quiet, modest and truthful man. He
was generous to a taint, xno one
in need, of whatever class, ever ap
pealed to him in vain for aid. The
chidren and young people were fre
quently matte happy by him through
gifts of money, which he took de
light in bestowing upon them. He
was even tempered, cool headed
aud never addicted to profanity.
He was one of a family of twelve
children five boys aud seven girls
and leaves to mourn his depart
ure four brothers and two sisters,
five sisters having preceded him to
the great beyond. Those who sur
vive him are David and Albert
Cochran of Grand Kaptds, Minn.;
George Cochran of Ikrmidge.Minn.,
Thomas H, Cochran of St. Johns,
Oregon; Mrs, Nancy Dockeudoff of
Ivverett, Wash., aud Mrs. Mary
Andrews of Portsmouth. Hesides
these brothers aud sisters, he leaves
a large number of nephews aud
nieces aud a hast of devoted friends,
I'uuerul services were held Mon
day at 10 a. in. at the residence of
Ilk hrntWr Tlintttiw d r
Nelson, of the Congregational
church conducting the services. A
large concourse of relatives and
menus assembled at the home to
pay their last sad respects to all
that was mortal of Samuel Cochran.
Interment took place in the Coltiui

The "1892" Pure Spun Aluminum Ware is rapidly

the place of agate and enamel ware because while I La
first cost ia a trifle more than ordinary ware, it is
really much cheaper in the long run, as it is guaran

a life time.
The genulno "1892" Ware, made only from pure
SPUN (not cast) Aluminum, will not crack, scale, peel,
break, scorch or burn.
It looks like silver but weighs only about one
