Subscription prlco $1.00 par year ANNOUNCEMENT I herewith announce myself nti independent candidate for the office of comic lman at large at tuc eicc tion to be held April 3d, 1911. D. FRANK IIORSMAN. To the voters of St. Johns: I ntn n candidate for the office o city attorney; believing that my knowledge of city business would enable mc to render efficient service in that capacity. And if elected my promise is, fairness to all, spe cial wivilcEcs to none. A. M. IiSSON Kcmember to vote for the par bonds Monday. Situated so close to the ice nlnnt the location should be a cool one in the summer time. . The total number of voters to register was 536, just about half ( the legal voters of the city. If w were n gambler we would bet a against the hole in a doughnut that there will be a lot of blooming chumps around castigating them selves because they did not register and discommoding their friends order to be enabled to vote. 1 Some of the street contractors St. Johns are making themselves liable for suits for damages on oc count of depositing old slumps 011 private property without pcrniis siou from the owners. A party from Portland, who was injured in this manner, is getting ready to make trouble. Contractors should exercise n little more care in this regard In the future. They hav no more right to deposit debris on private grounds than has the dray man. t The city engineer has waived hi objections to having West ru mil laid on Jersev street. This was wise move on his part. While it would have been better to have done this sooner, the delay occa stoned by his rebellion is not dan gerous. Westrumite will be laid in accordance with tlie wishes n the property owners. Mr. Andrew is to be congratulated upon chaug ing liis mind upon the proposition and acceding to the will of the two tile. His reputation will not suffer in the least whether Westrumite is good or bud. This city is making a grave mis take in not having a sewur inspec tor constantly on tha job. Five years ago it cost the procrty own ers more than $ 3000 because a com intent instructor was not in evidence, That was 11 small job, and the pres cut one is a big one. Witli 1111 skilled laborers laying pipe under tunnels, where it is easier to lay pipe a little out of line than it is to lay it .straight, who knows wnat we are getting and how soon it will have to be torn up? It would not be surprising if nil or n greater por tion of it will have to be rclaiil within the next few years. Kvery thing is left to the honesty of the contractor. Surely an iusiiector is needed right NOW. Gentlemen o the council, don't allow another meeting to pass by without making arrangements for one. Don't let the sewer be laid 011 Jersey street until this is done, f We believe the council acted has tily and without due consideration when they passed nu ordinance Tuesday night compelling till prop erty owners to connect with the sewers laid within 60 days from date of notice, The time is too short. To connect all property with the sewer pipe in 60 days would mean to lay more sewer pipe in 60 days thnii has been laid all winter and last fall. Those eu gaged in laying sewer here could form u trust and boost the price to fi per foot, There would be more work than all could do, because most people, 011 account of the low state of their finances, would put the laying oil until the last minute. The bonding act cannot be taken on connections. Portland gives only a short time to connect after a sewer is completed, but in that city couietitioii is greater and the whole city does not have to connect at one time as is the case here we ueneve councilman uotiie was right when he held out for six mounts instead of two, out he was alone in the contention. It will take an average of about 60 feet of pipe per lot to connect tip, uud it costs money to fill the old cesspools. Can the people make arrangements for this in two mouths? We can not very well see how discrimina tion can be made in giving notice to connect. At least n very little difference cati be made in time. Perhaps we do not look at this from the right point of view, ami our views may be wrong, but it seems to us that it is giving the sewer layers too much power, and the property owners too little chance to raise the money. Since it seems apparent that no further steps will be taken to clear Bradford street, why not grant the franchise for sidetrack for Mr. Latithcrs? r Because a laboring man found the body of a young girl who had committed suicide in Portland mid notified the authorities of the fact he was held at the city jail as a wit ness. Next time he will likely sneak off without saying a word rather than iro to tail for doing an act of common humanity. , Elsewhere in tills paper will be found a communication derogatory to Westrumite. Of course it does not reflect our position, but as tli Review is ever open for discussion of any public question we give it place. The argument it advances has been threshed out and it is waste of space to refute it. Wc do not blame the BltuHthic people for making the fight of their lives for the business supremacy they now cntoy, particularly since it was while experimenting with Hittilith that Mr. VanWcstrtim discovered the happy combination whic makes Westrumite so much stt iwrlor, it Is claimed, to Bitulitliic and endangers if properly promoted the business prosperity of the lat ter. Anyhow Westrumite lias won out and the time for argument is past. It doesn't take many dollars to secure testimonials and statements from some people. Wc nave more confidence in our own citizens than in any letters that might be written by eastern parties at a competing company s dictation or otherwise 1 Rev. Owen Retires Conrad h. Owen, who has been pastor of the llaptist church in St Johns for nlmost two years, has re tired from this position to enter the evangelistic field. Mr. Uwcu is a speaker of more than ordinary ability, very pleasing personality, actuated at all times by the spirit of his Master, and he leaves very many friends both and out of his own congregation who sincerely regret his going am! who will heartily join us in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Owen abundant pros pcrily and a happy life wherever their lot may be cast. They go to live for the .summer near McMitiu ville 011 Mr. Owen's farm, Arrest! The police department is quietly collecting evidence so ns to identify the parties who are dumping cans or other refuse 011 public highways or on private ground, and especially along Willamette boulevard, where it disfigures the view from the river and from the boulevard, The cowardly inirpitrators, usually net fug tinder cover of darkness, thus show that they know it to le crim mil and arrests are likely to follow CARD OF THANKS.
