It is n wonder that the world
docs not cease to move. Teddy has
not spoken for nt least fifteen
minutes.
It would rnthcr surprise some of
the "wise guys If the proposed
new union depot would be located
on the cast side. Yet it is n possi
bility.
City Attorney Collier's opinion
ns to the legality of the recent an
nexation election was as could only
be expected. He drew up the pe
tition for the "nnncxcr.s nud could
scarcely now consistently decide
that he was wrong in the first in
stance, With President Hurlbert, Secrc
tnryCook, Chief High Priest A. T.
Holdeu of the Portland nud St.
Johns Annexation club and W. h.
Plummcr leaving the city, nnd J. S.
Downey, big stnudnrd bearer, medi
tating leaving for Mexico ns soon
ns he can dispose of his property,
it would be n splendid time to hold
another election upon annexation.
Strange how some folks tell of the
glorious paradise that will spread
it. self out upon annexation, nud then
pack up nud leave before their
ilrwmis materialize. Doesn't it make
those who remain suspicion that
there is n "nigger in the woodpile"
somewhere?

Since the annexation proposition
will take a back sent for some time
yet nt least, would it not be well to
turn our attention to seeming a
public park for St. Johns? The
proposition of purchasing part of
the Copies and Harris tracts for
this purpose has been ctltioucd for
and will come up nt n special elec
tion or terhaps lie over until the
April election next year. In the
meantime, the subject should be
given considerable thought so that
nil may be prepared to vote intelli
gently when the time comes for so
doing. A roadway to the Swift
territory is another feature that
From the Telegram
Will the liquor interests attempt
to increase the number of saloons
in this city by going to St. Johns
and obtaining saloon licenses before
that municipality officially becomes
a part of the city of Portland next
July?
This question is being discussed
in city hall circles because many in
quirks arc being made in regard to
saloon licenses in St. Johns, antl be
cause of the probability that there
will be no opposition to the vote of
the residents of that district for an
ncxation to Portland, which was
taken nt the recent election. The
law provides that St. Johns must
become a part of the city of Port
laud with nil its appurtenances,
which will mean that all the ex-
istinc saloon licenses as well as
other existing concessions nnd obli
gntious must be ncccptcd by this
city. There is now nothing in the
wny for St. Johns to issue nny nit m
bcr of saloon licenses it is said, be
fore July 1, 191 1, when it will be
come n part of Portland, and these
licenses will continue to exist. After
the annexation hns been complete,
these licenses enn then be transfer
red to locations nt nnv noint in
Portland where the liquor interests
desire to establish saloons.
At present the saloons in this
city nre limited to their present
number, or until the Government
census shows that there is one
saloon for each 500 inhabitants.
When the population exceeds 500
for each saloon, nil additional li
cense may be granted for each ad
ditional 500 people. Au ordinance
is now finding hcfqro the council
to limit the saloons to their present
number until such time ns there are
one for each 1000 inhabitants nnd
it is probable that the measure will
pass nt the next meeting of the
council. Tliis would shut out the
liquor interests from obtaining nny
more saloons from the council of
this city, but it would be nu easy
matter to obtain licenses in St.
Johns before annexation shall take
effect nnd they then could be
transferred to any place where it is
desired by the liquor interests to
locnte saloons.
The situation is causing much
conjecture, nnd it is said thnt nu
effort will be made Ijy ollicials of
this city to block any movement of
the liquor interests to increase the
number of saloons in Portland by
such a coup.

should have iiumedintc attention.
Nuilhur should the free ferrv prop
osition be allowed to slumber.
Whuthur we couiolidntv with Port
laud or not next July, these things
nre uuvdud nud we cnu help our
selves just ns well ns others enn do
it for us. Albinn bonded htTM-df
heavily before consolidation, nud
there is no reason why we should
not do likewise. Mot of us will
remain iu St. John for years to
come, and while we may differ with
one another aw to the virtue of con
solidation, there should be 110 differ
ence of opinion iu regard to secur
ing the things we need and should
haw. Whether the vote stands ns
recorded Inst week, or whether it i
eventually thrown out by the
courts, we should still work hur
mouiously to secure those things
wluch would inure to our bene
fit.
According to City Attorney Col
lier's opinion regarding the legality
oi the vote upon annexation, this
city will become n part of Portland
the first day of next July, lie also
stated that it might be difficult to
sell bonds on a jmrk, sidetrack to
the dock, etc., on that account. If
this is true, St. Johns cnu expect
little along the line of public im
provement for years to come. Mayor
bimou is now advocating economy
iu public improvements, nnd the
ones petitioned for will rightfully
receive attention before St. Johns
can expect anything. We under
stand, however, that Albinn bonded
herself heavily after a vote ii)oh
annexation had been takeu in the
affirmative aud before annexation
really took place, if this is true,
why should we not take u chuiice
on it?
It is rumored that KuUky, the
fugitive forger, has been captured
