McKcon mid Pnsclml Hill, who were selected by the Jersey street property owners to investi gate hard surface conditions in Hastens cities, have returned to St. Johns. They made it very thor ough examination of all kinds of paving, talked with property own ers, officials and secured testimoni als, so that they arc in a position to have full knowledge of the subject. Both arc strongly in favor of Wcs- trinnitc paving as a result of their investigations. They found it to The Woman's Christian Tem perance Union of Multnomah county will hold an all day institute at St. Johns next Tuesday in the Ilnptist church.

Having been intimately associated with Mr. McKcon fo't several years, we have no hesitancy in accepting his testimony on thh subject. His word is as good nt Ills bond so far as we arc concerned. He is a man whose convictions would not be altered by any. influ ence brought to bear upon it. Pas' clinl Hill is also so well known to St Johns folks that his word will be accepted without question Ilcfort he saw Westruuiite he favored Hit ulitliic, and since he lias investigat ed Westrumitc, he favors it, which makes it all the stronger for the latter. Therefore since the representa tives, whose testimony the great majority of the people at least an willing to accept, believe Westru uiite to be the best hard surfacing in existence, let us have Westru mite. The best is what we want Then it is better to lend than tr follow. Hitullthic is good, Westru mite is better. We trust the prop crty owners will unanimously favor Westruuiite which will place St. Johns in the lead and also aid n home institution. 1 A very grave responsibility rests Department Symposium "What One Thing is the Most Im portant to do Just Now in My Department?"

Mrs. Stucker has been conducting her establishment in St. Johns for a little more than three aud a half years and has made hundreds of friends by her kitidly, gentle ways, her bright, cheering disposition and consistent, faithful Christian life. Among the vouimer members of society she is especially a favorite, entering whole hcartedly into their work and play as one of them. The church here will lose one of its most faithful members, society one its most delightful entertainers and the business world of St. Johns one its most energetic and upright workers. Iu fact, we may all wear crepe iu our buttonholes for "Ma" btiickcr, as the young folks love to call her, for she was a friend to all aud had for each a bright smile . or hearty hand clasp nud always a helping baud for those iu need. So, as wc take off our hats to bow "Ma" Stucker out of St. John's circles, with just a bit of envy in in our hearts, we congratulate Leb anon on capturing one of our best loved and most desirable citizens.

The ordinance providing for 1111 exchange of n stub of Maple street for nil casement over the Weyerhaeuser laud for tin laying of the sewer is up to him foi his .signature or veto. If he vctoi it, prospects for the hard surfacing of Jersey street go glimmering foi this year. A blind sewer might be built 011 Jersey street, but it would take valuable lime to go over nil the proceedings again, aud'theii wt do not believe property owuer.s could be couielled to pay until nu outlet had been provided. Is nu cud of n street thnt may not be o( any vnlue to the city for years to come of sufficient importance to in definitely stay the progress on Jer sey street? Surely not. If thU street, which lends nowhere, h ever wanted for street pur K)Sus it cnu lte secured by con demnation proceedings at any time. Il reverts upon vnoutlon to the adjoining property owners, nud nuy land iu the city can be condemned for street purpose when it is deemed expedient aud uecowMiry, we believe. What would it profit the city if the Wey erhauuser I.und Co. had offered nu easement for sewer purposes over n strip of laud 50 or too feet wide instead of 6 feet ? A right of way for sewer is all we want, nud six feet is plenty at this time. If more is needed later on, more can be con demned. What the people want is u sewer nud Jersey street improved, sud why hesitate aud haggle over n small matter that cnu be adjusted nt nuy time? I.et the city ndvnuce instead of retrograde. Wen re con fident thnt Mr. Hendricks will do what he believes to be best for the city, as he has done iu the past. Who stole the pig ment?

It did attest, however, that St. Johns possesses a saw mill and stove works. A few more of our leading industries might have been mentioned without any harm resulting. But for the good it will accomplish for the state at large it will be foriiiven for the discrepancy this time. Hon. K. C, Couch, our well kuowu aud enterprising townsman, is deserviug of a large slice of cred it for his effective work iu gettinir the free ferry bill through the house and senate. The insight he gained by being n member of the last leg islature served him iu good stead, and he left nothing done to have the bill passed. It would be im possible to pick a man iu St. Johns so well qualified to cuact such a mission as Mr. Couch, aud his splendid efforts are fully appreciat ed by the, general publlic.
