NO. 29 Burial Ground Wanted Editor Review: It is n self evi dent fact that the people of St. Johns are wide nwnke ntul ready to res pond to the wants of her people, This fact is established in the mat tcr of public free ferry and ilsseeni' ing determination to furnish the people with u public park, which I heartily endorse nuu use my inllii encc to obtain that which the pub lie actually needs. While I make this confession I cannot but say that the people of St. Johns seem to be blind or nave overlooked the most important enterprise that now con fronts the city. We must have a burial place for our dead, for it seems almost impossible for men under existing circumstances to even modestly bury their dead. I, the writer of this article, do not wish to appear stingy or even little when I spcuk the truth as I now speak it. I, when compelled to bury my dead, went first to a cemetery of my choice nud proposed to buy a resting pluce for my dead; they seemed to sympathize with me nnd led me to believe that they were dealing with mc kindly and charged me, or offered to charge me only $55 tor a space of ground 8 feet square. I thought but n mo ment and saw that it would be but 11 little over -1220 11 block 16 feet square, and ns there arc eighty such blocks in one acre I saw at a glance that they were charging me over $17. Goo per acre. I could not stand that and took a space four by eight feet in n less expeiitdve place nnd paid for the same at the rate of S120 per block 16 feet square being 9600 per acre. What I have said is absolutely true as my neighbors were with me nt the time I made the purchase mid I hold a receipt therefor. Now Mr. Editor, if we, os the people of St. Johns, who expect to live and die and be buried here, will give this matter our attention we can save our'lvcs more than 50 per cent by organizing a cemetery asso elation under tiie law as nude nnd provided and how in effect in the state of Oregon. It seems to me that it N fitting for each of us to favor the organization of this asso ciation, and I believe that full 90 per cent of the people of our fair t ity will endorse the sentiments I have advanced. I shall use my best endeavor and all my force to the accomplishment of this cuter prise, and when it has become n fact I will transfer my dead nud pluce them in the cemetery where I expect finally to rest, as St. Johns is my home now and forever. Again Mr. Editor, if these thoughts meet your approval I ask 011 as the mouth-piece of the peo ple of St. Johns to speak plainly on this subject that we all may know your exact position in the matter. Your friend, H. I. Snow. To Boost the West Representing ten western states, the executive committee of the Western Development League met nt the commercial club last week and mapped out a plan that prom ises to be of great benefit to the whole West. The purpose is to at tract people from the crowded East to the vacant lands of the West where there is room for millions to build happy homes. The big draw ing card proposed by the league is a special train of exhibit cars that will tour the East next fall and will give the people of that part of the couutry an object lesson of the op portunities to be found here. In this movement the commercial bod ies, railroads, state officials and the Panama-Pacific Exposition will co operate and share the expense. Prominent westerners will accom pauy the train and they plan to call on the governors of the states visit ed and other leading men, interest ing them in the campaign, which will be of such magnitude as to be free from auy selfish boosting by auy uarrow section, At least five cars of exhibits will be taken along, showing the products of the West in a comprehensive maimer. This will be the biggest showing ever attempted along this line and is cer tain to attract much attention. The exhibits will later be placed at the Eastern land shows during the win ter. Oregon Pioneers will hold their annual reunion and banquet at the Masonic temple in Portland, June 21, Arrangements are now being made for this gathering by the Or eeon Pioneer association. Secre tary George H. Hitnes is arranging a program of unusual interest and a large number of the sturdy pioneers who laid the foundations ot our state will meet and recall the inci dents of the past. Indian War veterans will meet here ou June 20. Cure for Dandelions There is an unfailing cure for dandelions oil the lawn. To exter minate the plant, grasp it firmly at the point where it emerges from the ground, otter a silent prayer and pull steadily upward. Should the root break off five or six inches in the ground, wait patiently a day or two, remaining in a prayerful mood and you will probably have a chance to tackle it again. To make success doubly sure on the second attempt, carciully re frain from the use of all words re sembling profanity. Uefore grasping- the weed for a last and deadly pull, moisten the hand carefully with the tongue and take a deep breath. Also be insistent thnt your wife remain in the basement, prudently out of sight and out of mind so she will not interfere with foolish and confusing directions at the psychco logical moment. It is also for the salety of the household to have her beyond reach of the explosion to follow, in case the second nttempt should end in failure. When all is finally ready, exert pressure 011 the weed about a quar ter of an inch above the ground, gradually increasing the intensity until something yields, keeping all profanity and worldly thoughts in the back ground. If the weed breaks the cccond time send for n gardener or sell the place. Ex. Looks Very Bad The lntecltv council overlooked n bet" when 'It did not nass an ordinance, immediately after grant- . vi a. lug the Mount nocxi iigiu ami Power company n franchise, com ivlllnrr It mid other cornorations to place their wires tinder ground .espe cially along Jersey and Philadelphia. As a result these streets win iook like n stockade on each side. Holes are being drilled through the ce ment sidewalks and tinsignuy poies are being erected. It is said to la the rule in most cities to cause all electric poles to be erected on one side ot the various streets, owing to the fact that telephone compan ies are very loath to place their wires within 30 feet of electric light wires 011 account of induction, cor rosion and liability to become crossed. Here, however, poles nr permitted where it is most conven ient to the company "planting" the same. A regulating ordinance might Mill do some good. Peninsula National U'nsliitii'ion. Mnv 30.

The great cr portion of the time was devoted to street work, which as n rule is rather dry proceedings on account of its routine propensities. All members had their feet under the table nt roll call, with Mayor Couch presiding us usual. The first matter to attract the at tention of the city guardians was u petition by Rev. E. J. Kcttcnhofcu asking thnt Hurr street be opened up from Portland boulevard to Dawson street. Mayor referred the matter to the street committee to investigate its advisability in conjunction with the city engineer. A petition to widen Hank street from Oswego to Allegheny street was also referred to the street com mittee. A petition to improve Willamette boulevard from Richmond to Bit chamiti street by six foot cement sidewalk six feet from the property line with eighteen foot curb was read. Alderman Bredesou stronuly objected to the six foot between the projwrty Hue and the sidewalk, be lieving two feet was plenty. Aid. Valentine also could sec no reason why the city should practically do nate six feet of the street to length en out the lots of the property owners, and therefore moved that n resolution be. ordered drawn direct ing the engineer to prepare the nec essary data for the improvement with two feet between the sidewalk nud the property line Instead of six us renin sted, so that it would con form with all other streets of the city. On vote all favored its adop tion except Aldermen Muck and Davis. A petition requesting the good offices of the council in having the property owners in the vicinity of Tioga and Ecssemlcu streets trim out the tangled brush and clean up the rubbish abounding thereabouts was read and the mayor referred the matter to the city attorney to ascertain if there was auy ordinance in existence compelling n clcuti tip iu such cases. Dills amounting to $769.11, in cluding the bill for experting the city books, were allowed ou motion of Alderman Muck, An ordinance amending an ordi nance in rcga'rd to vacation of laud iu the Weyerhaeuser tract in ex change for sewer privileges, a por tion of the description of which had been inadvertently omitted iu the original ordinance, reached final passu ge and then on motion of A I dcrmati Muck was laid on the table for one week In order that the coun- cilmeti might further familiarize themselves regarding its provisions, Aldermen Valentine and Davis vot ing in the negative, however. The Burlington street sidewalk, Ivanhoe to Hayes, which was ac cepted by the engineer, approved by the street committee, was ac cepted by the council, The (ire commission wns directed to examine into the matter of addi tional fire apparatus and to report later. The auditors' report on the finan cial condition, which cost over $500 to obtain, was referred to the finance committee for recommendation. Ordinances adopting the engin eer's report ou the opening up of Iulison and Decatur streets between Richmond and Tyler which had reached third reading were again laid on the table on motion of Aid. Valentine. An ordinance adopting the en gineer's report on the opening of Kellogg street from uurliugtou to Chicago was passed on motion of Alderman Valentine. Ati ordinance authorizing the mayor to enter Into a contract with the St.Johns Transportation Co for the conveyance of the slips and approaches to the city was passed on motion of Alderman Muck. An ordinance assessing the cost of the improvement of North Jer sey street from St, Johns avenue to the Weyerhaeuser tract was like wise passed. An ordinance providing the tjme aud manner of improving Macrum avenue from the 0-W. R. & N. tracks to the eastern city limits was passed ou motion of Alderman Muck. An ordinance authorizing the sale of 20,000 improvement bonds was passed ou motion of Alderman Muck. Resolutions appointing I, R.Mar tin, T. H. Cochran and Roy Ingle due viewers on theopeniugof Brad ford and Crawford streets between Richmond and Tyler streets were adopted on motion of Aldermen Valentine and Muck respectively. A resolution authorizing an ex change of water end of Charleston street for a similar tract of land ad joiuing the Richmond street dock and empowering the city attorney to Institute suit to clear the city's title thereto if negotiations for ex change fail was unanimously adopt ed on motion -of Alderman Muck. J. E. Wright, the Evening Jour nal reporter, told of the dangers and inconveniences of permitting the Mount Hood Light & Power co'nipany to erect their poles on op posite sides of the streets from the poles of the competing company, and believed if said company offi cials were interviewed the incon venience could be amicably adjust ed. The city attorney and street committee were instructed to ascer tain if any agreement to this effect might be arrived nt. The select men deplored the fact that their j franchise had not been more speci fic iu regard to where and how the polcs.should be erected, but feared it was rather late to attempt to remedy the evil. On motion of Alderman Hill fne plugs were ordered installed 011 Jer sey street nt Cntlin nud Trumbull, although there was considerable ob jection thereto, most of which tie veloed after the motion had passed. Alderman Bredesou moved that the fountain be installed at the cen ter of ground where five roads iniet iu front of the city hall pint. Mo. lion enrried with only Alderman Valentine objecting. Alderman Bredesou then said he wanted to reconsider the motion to remove the tree nud "fortref-s" on Philadelphia street nt the city hall, that he had made a thorough bi section of the tree aud found that it was rtipldly approaching dissilu tiou. Therefore, he made 11 mo tion that it be removed, which was ordered done by the building and grounds committee.

When coming across, while leaning over the steamer rail she dropped the letter into the ocean. Ou her arrival iu New York, she didn't Icnow how to proceed to find work without her recommendation, so she appealed to Pat Raflerty, n fel low passenger.aud he wrote the fol lowing letter for her: "To the gin- era! public: Bridget O'Elarity had a good reputation iu Ireland, but lost It on the way over."
