Judging from the stnte of the nt
mosplicrc during the past month
the weather man must surely have
gotten mixed up in his dates.

Traveling men state that things
are more quiet now than has been
the case for many months. Not
only is this true of Portland, hut of
the whole United States. There
seems to be no appateut reason for
it, however.
1
Now is the time for property
owners to petition for street im
provement. The cost of the im
provement will never he any less,
and there is no good reason why
every street in the city should not
he improved or get under wny ol
improvement this year. Property
owner, if you want yonr street im
proved, get a petition bl'iik nt the
city hall and then get out nud cir
culate it. The bonding net makes
street improvement easy. Ten per
cent per year is nil it requires. It
is worth that much to stay out of
the mud.

Wonder if nil those who signet
Mayor Simon s petition to becom
n candidate will vote for mm f V
opine not. Joseph, lew-like, lias
looked nftcr his interests well, but
has made mistakes, lots of them
Other men in his position might
have done much better, but w
doubt if Rushlight would make
better record. The evening dnllie:
are rather between the "devil am
the deep sea." When it was gen
ernlly understood that Simon wotil
not ngniu be a candidate, they he
gau to belittle his administration
nud advertise for "n man" for ma
yor. Rushlight they considered
worse even than Simon. Since
appears that these two will be the
only candidates for mayor that will
have n ghost of n show of winning
the evening papers nrc wondering
where they are nt. The chnncc
are, however, that they will fall in
line nil right lor cither one or the
other, but it will be a rather bitte
pill to swallow.
t
The tree on Philadelphia street
near the city linll lull a victim
the axeman yesterday. We have
heard n murmur of discontent he
cause this nctiou was tnken by the
council, hut there nre several goot
reasons why it wns done. In the
first place it wns erected ns n sort
of hand stand, but the band bov
never showed any inclination to use
it tor that iniriKe. The tree wn
dying rnpidly, Proiwrty owners
west of it strenuously objected
to
its remaining, claiming the city lux'
110 right to violate the ordinance re
garding street obstruction, nud that
it obstructed their view. That
petition will be presented next week
for the Improvement ol f hiladelplilu
street with bitulithie hard surfac
iug, and ns the "fortress" cuts off
the gutter, a perimtual mud hoi
would be created during wet weath
cr. That the cost of fixing up the
steps and cutting a gutter course
through would equal the exiwiiKe 0
removing it altogether. Hence
the man with the nxe.
t
In regard to the article elsewhere
in this issue relative to the necessl
ly of u cemetery in St. Johns, wouli1
state that we do nud have for some
time heartily favored nil institution
of this nature. While the death
rute in St. Johns is very low, yet
some ol (lie iiiualmtuits do die oe
casioually. When such an event
occurs, the relative! nud near
friends greatly dislike to journey
20 miles or more in making the
round trip to the place of interment.
The cost of n funeral iu St. Johns is
no small item and is .something the
great majority of people are not pre
pared for. It is estimated that
SM50 is the very least it can be
done for, and that price only pro
vides for a couple of funeral
carriages, which do not make the
return trip to this city. Besides
the cost, it is more satisfactory to
have one s relatives ami friends 111
tcrred nearby, so that floral offer
ings may be taken to the graveyard
una visits made thereto frequently
If a cemetery was provided within
or close to the city limits the ex
ponse of n funeral would be cut iu
half nud would be much more agree
able all around. We hope the dny
will not be far distant when n burial
ground shall be had iu close proxim
ity to the city limits. Of course
none of us e.jcct to die soon, but
we may. One exception we desire
to take to the communication, how
ever. It endorses the "seeming de
termination" of our citizens to se
cure a public park. The fact of
the matter is that they have no such
intention, but have evinced n "de
termination" not to secure one.
The argument might be advanced
that since they do not want a park,
perhaps they do want n cemetery
a fitting place for "dead ones."
