The Scent of a Skunk
to
The article below appeared in a
Portland publication last Saturday
evening under the caption of "What
is the Matter, St. Johns?" The ar
ticle is the most rank, outrageous,
foul, libelous and unjust production
vc have ever read. If the writer
really is a resident of St. Johns, he
does not deserve to be, and it is
well that he hides his identity un
der a notu dc plume. Not content
with maligning the city council lie
tries to assassinate the city. His
entire article from start to finish is
ridiculously false and malicious.
Read the nauseous mess, uud if it
does not make you sick you have
n strong stomach. It is permeated
with the odor of a skunk nil the

St. Johns, Ore. Editor Dally
News: Why is the city of St. John
going backwards?
The state Is prosperous, but St
Johns lags behind. There was
reason once for culling this town
city, but the only reason left is
tickle the vanity of the officials.
The town is entitled to great
prosperity, for it litis a wonderful
situation, but the men iu charge of
things arc so busy with .selfish
affairs that the property owners.the
citizens aim the town arc never no
ticcd.
Our couticilincn arc a posltlv
detriment, n public disgruce.as wel
as the laughing stock of those who
deal with them. All Improvements
nre vetoed, any man who objects
called a crank. Instead of ciicour
nuing new mauufacturies the offi
cials constantly embarrass the few
that are left there.
Our new sewer system Is a joke
although it has n titeep down grade
directly to the river everything
goes through this sower but sew
age. Streets have been destroyed
by laying these sewers, but the
council accepted the job and
the streets to be repaired by
team traffic. It is useless to
ploy ordinary language on
couiicilmeu for they wouldn't
dcrstand it. Their vernacular
of the "Mutt" brand.
If St. Johns wants to be anything
she must get rid of her lazy, misfit,
ignorant couiicilmeu. Until tills is
done this towu will be a joke. Give
us a chance to breathe and the
the town a chance to live and grow,
us it has not had since it passed tin
der the control of these weak, nnr
rowmlnded, petty, blatant, blather
bkite irnntr of despoilers, retarders
uud destroyers. Yours truly.
A Taxpayer.
St. Johns Is not going backward,
nuy one with a thimbleful oi brains
will admit. Point to a city of its
hlze doing better or growing faster.
"All Improvements nre vetoed."
Will the writer kindly cite one in-
Mance, just ONE? No, the shyster
cuuuot, because not one improve
went proposed that the property
would stand for has been vetoed.
Read the article from Suuday's
Journal iu another column, which
fucts were takeu from the records.
If the improvements mentioned
were vetoed, how were they accom
plished ?
No streets will have been de
stroyed by the laying of sewers.
No sewer was accepted without the
proviso that the streets be left ill
good condition. Enough money
has been held back from the con
tractor to pay for this work If he
fails to do so.
As to the calumny heaped upon
the councilmen, It all comes from
the disordered aud diseased mind
of the "Taxpayer." The couucil
may have made mistakes, of course,
but they do not deserve the abuse the
article contaius. We have seen five
different sets of councilmen in St.
Johns and we believe the records
will bear is out when we state that
none have done more or made bet
ter progress than the present one.
A Great Record
left
the
tin
Is
People who have not visited St
Johns for some months cannot fai
to be surprised at the large amount
of street work now in progress in
that citv, and au inspection of the
records Iu the city engineer's dc
partmcnt will disclose that the ag
gregate of these improvements is
dwarfed by the amount of street
construction that Is before the couu
cil to be brought up for action iu
the immediate future.
The city engineer's force Is
swamped with estimates, profiles
and specifications for projected Itu
provemcuts aud iu attempting to
cone with this work, they nre at
the same time kept busy giving
grades aud setting stakes for the
number of contractors at work in
various parts of the city.
The city has been by no means
idle during the winter mouths as the
following figures snow:
Since September 1,1910, property
owners on 27.M1 blocks nave been
assessed for f .10,780 for work
which hns been completed aud fi
nally accepted by the council. This
total includes $941 for it blocks on
Midway avenue I606 for seven
blocks on Tyler street, $7341 for
three blocks on Edison street. The
other items that go to swell
this totul arc 10 single blocks on
Leonard street, the Hhort length on
Portland boulevard and the three
blocks on Thompson street com
pleted lust fall at n cost of $5364.
Iu ench of these cases tue streets
have been graded and improved
and cement sidewalks laid down
The street work at present under
way consists of the Jersey street
sidewalk, three blocks ol wim.li
will cost the property owners $2222
the Improvement of Oswego street
where 4 Yi blocks are to be pa vet
aud improved nt a cost of about
$.1000. A solid mile of hcsscntlcn
street is to be Improved for $28,000
A good part of this work is com
Ietcd and the contractors arc rush
ntr the remuiutlcr with as much
speed ns they can. The contrac
tors are also busy on three blocks
of Philadelphia street, which is cs
tlmated to cost 12,041, while worth
Jersey street and Mohawk street
are both ill the hands of the con
tractors.
The list by 110 means ends here.
as there are nearly as many streets
which are scheduled for improve
incuts iu the immediate future
Some of these are iu the hands of
the city engineer, while others are
11 var 011s stones ot progress in the
council or awaiting projer present
ntlon nt the hands of the property
owners nterested. T he work on
Macrtim avenue will be commenced
in a few davs. Other streets in
elude Olympia street and Chicago
street, which the council passed on
the city engineer; Charleston,
Burllueton and Bradford streets.
Jven tills does not include all the
improvements coutcmplated, for
the proposal to improve Dawson
street will be iu the hands of the
couucil iu a few days whilst Deca
tur Crawford nnd South Edison
nnd Willamette boulevnrd have nil
passed the Initial stages of negotia-
ous and will be Improved the
coming summer. To enumerate all
the streets where property owners
are getting petitions up would occu
py too much space.
The city engineer estimates wai
$40,000 will be spent the coming
year on crushed rock aloue, and
now that the free ferry project Is
well under way, this amount will
n all probability be iucreased. It
is no wonder that street contractors
nd paving contractors are turniug
an inquiring eye on the fast grow-
ug city. Sunday journal.
Mrs.S.H. Greene, Eulalia Greeue
and Georgia Perrlne have been rus
ticating on the Greene's ranch at
Castle Rock, Washington. They
were preceeded to that lovely coun
try home some six weeks by Miss
Jennie Greene, After a stay of
two weeks by the first mentioned
ladies all returned except Miss I4a
lia, who remains for a more extend
ed outing. Miss Jennie comes
home brown as a berry and 7 lbs.
heavier for her eight weeks of the
simple life. Mrs. Greene says the
Judge and her hens must have
worked pvertime while she was
gone, as the Judge had gathered
and stored a whole washtubfull of
hen berries. The party reports a
most delightful outing.

Council Proceedings
Communicated
Editor Review: Seeing the item
of news in the Review of March 17
saying that I had filed nomination
papers for councilman of the first
ward, and which makes it"nAenr
as though I was after the office, but
such, however, is not the case, for
I did not get out the nomination
papers. Neither did l solicit any
names thereon; but the truth of the
matter is, n good friend ap
proached mc on the subject, aud
was told who my choice for that
office was, but after some talk upon
the matter, he asked mc if papers
with required number of sigtia
tures were presented to me, if 1
would sign them and accept the
nomination and office if elected,
answered yes, for it was plain
me that it was a duty I owed as
citizen so to do, as it would be
plain case of office seeking the man
and not the man seeking the office.
Whereupon my friend departed
aud in a few days returned with
papers containing some 38 signa
tures and asked me to sign them,
which I did, and which it appears
by the item in the Keview was tueu
with the recorder by some friend of
mine, for which I most heartily
thank him and also all those that
signed the papers in my behalf, nnd
promise if elected to faithfully per
form the duties of that office, and
an effort to further the greatest
good to the greatest number.

Debonair Club
The Debonair club met at the
lonie of Mrs. Hope Learned last
week.The house was beautifully dec-
oruted with yellow daffodils. A
splendid lunch was served consist-
ng ot lettuce sandwiciies, saiau
served in daffodil cups, cake and
pineapple served together with
whipped cream, and fruit punch.
The color scheme was effectively
carried out by the hostess who
wore a pretty white gown with a
knot of yellow ribbon at the throat.
Fourteen members were present.
The boys in the neighborhood of
the Christian church have organ-
zed a company under the auspices
of the Boy Scouts of America.
The object of the organization is
the development of the boys men
tally, physically and morally. The
company is composed of some of
the best lads of that section ot bt.
ohns and will be favorably heard
from in the future if they adhere to
the guidebook of the Scouts.

The most exciting session of the
city council In its history was held
Tuesday night. Hard surfacing of
Jersey street was again the bone of
contention, and the climax was
reached when Dr. McChcsney de
manded, on behalf of the Jersey
street property owners, that the
mayor at once remove the present
engineer. This radical step was
reached after the engineer's esti
mate of the cost of layjug Westru
tuitc was rend nnd found to be 2
cents per yard less than the Wcst
rumite Paving Co. could afford to
lay it for. A written opinion of the
city attorney, iu which he stated
that the specifications could not be
legally adopted by the council with
out tue approval 01 tue city engin
eer, Was the signal for a spirited
and lively controversy in which Dr.
McChcsney, Attorney Collier, R.
W. McKcou, Councilman Downey,
C. C. Woodhouss, Win. Lintl and
Pascal Hilt took pnrt. As there
wns no other alternative, in order
that Westrutuitc could be laid ac
cording to the specifications pre
pared by the company, other than
to secure au engineer who would
approve of the same, Mr. Downey
said it was incumbent upon the
mayor to do this, nnd if he refused
that the recall be invoked upon th
mayor. Dr. McChcsney immetli
ately demanded that the mayor re
move the engineer. It wns under
stood that the recorder should noti
fy the mayor, who had asked to be
excused early iu the evening, of

had no objection to said improve
ment provided the street was made
lde enough to penult ot a drive

to pay for any part of the improve
ment outside of the ground covered
by the track. Received aud filed

A communication from the city
treasurer, asked that his salary be
raised to $50 a mouth, owing to the
argely iucreased business of that

nance was passed granting the raise

ision was made for employing the
services of an expert accountant.
A petition from 102 citizens stat
ed that they believed at present
the population of St. Johns is over
5400, basing their belief upon the
late school census, the fact that 100
residences had been erected since
the federal census was taken aud
that many of the dwellings then
vacant had become occupied, There
fore they requested that the saloon,
tcense application of Ji. o. Ma-
goou receive due consideration at
