NO. 30 The Sewer Meeting A meeting was called at the, city hall Momlny evening by Council limn Geo. L. Perrine of the second ward, its order to get the views and expressions of his constituents in regard to the manner of laying the Maple street sewer system. The meeting was attended by a fair rep rcscutation of property owners in tercsted in the proceedings. Mr, Perrine opened the meeting by tell ing the object of it, and prcliminat cd his remarks by stating that he had 110 iersoual feeling against any man. He then took up the spcciu catious under which the contractor was supposed to lay the sewer, and invited any one in the audience to hold tin his hand when he read any section that luttl been complied with by the contractors. This invitii tion was repeated at several inter vols but no hands were raised. The parts of the specifications he culled particular attention to were the manholes, tunnels, tamping, water and the length of open trench permitted. He statel from his owu personal knowledge that the man holes were luid by incompetent help, very poorly constructed and were in no wise up to specifications The tunnels were flagrant violations and tatunitm and the use of water were almost entirely dispensed with, while the specifications distinctly specified that this omission should not be made. Open trenches were only allowed for 200 feet, but he knew that they were left open for double that distance, and in one instance 1 200 feet. He believed it no more than fair that a rebate of one-third of the cost to the property owners should be made by the con tractor if the work was to be ac ccnted. as that much would be saved to the contractor by reason of not living tip to thcspccificutiotis. He then asked for an expression of r-cutimcut on the part of the prop crty owners affected. Iix-Counclhuau Downey respond cd and told n few incidents that be had noted in regard to the sewer, lie told of a bell being broken en tirely off and a long sliver of the pipe split off that the contractor was attempting to fasten together with a piece of old rusty tin in the main sewer. After strenuous ob- j ctiou it was removed, however. He said the cement was skimped mid of poor quality. A fifty-foot tunnel, he said, bad been laid along the main sewer, the pipe 01 which was laid crooked and erratic, and was laid on mud sills which would decay in a short time inevitably causing the pipe to sink and break ut the joints. Tamping, he con tended, was conspicuous for its ab sence. He told how the contractor had received the bid in the first place through the tampering and juggling of the same by the city engineer, that it waiv irregular should not have beeti let. He how he had fought against manner of laylnK while on and told the the council and has never been satisfied with it since. He said he was go ing home late one night from lodge when he disco vereil workmen lay ing manholes by lautern light, which did not look good to him. Mr. Downey wound up by declar ing that he would not pay his as sessment until the rest of the peo ple were satisfied. Chairman Perrine then made a few additional remarks in which he cited an instance of a team belong ing to the St. Johns Lumber Co. falling luto Bradford street sewer and having to be derricked out. He asked that those opposed to the method in vogue of laying the sew er to make their objections, aud unless they were made he would vote to pay the bill in Its entirety when presented, J. S. Downey then made a mo tion that their representative be In structed to refuse to pay the sewer bill until all irregularities had been remedied. This was promptly sec onded and' a standing vote was unanimous in its favor. Several other citizens mude a few remarks pertiueut to the subject, after which the meeting adjourned sine die.

The weather was ideal and a large concourse of people gathered on the streets in the morning to witness the march of the old voter ans to Hill's cherry orchard, where appropriate services were held. Pre paratory to the march Prof. C. H. Boyd, on behalf of the school chit dreti ot St. Johns, presented to the old warriors of Gen. Compsou Post a beautiful silk flag as a token of their esteem aud their appreciation of the lessons in patriotism taught them during the past school year Commander Miller responded on behalf of the Post thanking the children for the beautiful emblem, for their kind remembrance and as sured them that as long as Compsou Post existed the (lag would be cher ished as one of its most valued pos sessions and when "tups" was sounded for the last one of the old heroes, the banner should be re turned to the loyal donors to be kept a perpetual reminder of the .'rizzlcd old veterans who endured the privations and braved the dan gers of war that these should ever have a free country and free edu cational advantages. The W. K. C. and hundreds of rchool children were in the line of march. In his first Inaugural address, says Goodwin's Weekly, Mr. Lincoln said: "We arc not enemies but friends, We must not be enemies. Though passions may have strained it must not break the bonds ot af fection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to ev ery living heart aud hearthstone over all this broad land, will yet swell the chords of the Union when n tru in touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our na tion." In all history cannot be found more beautiful words than these. It was just 50 years ago that those words words were spoken. Have "the better angels of our nature"ut ast asserted themselves and forced aside all the dark thoughts of the past, until we can realize at last that what happened then had to be, mid the men who stiugglcd then were each but acting his role as ate culled the mighty nets of tre mendous tragedy? Twenty-five years ago there were not many graves to decorate save tlie graves ot tuose who went down under the canopy of battle, aud the steps of the veterans who marched to perform that duty Had much of the old elastic spring of the marchers of the immortal four years of war. Today they are well liuli all goue.aud it is wltu nailing and feeble steps that those who re main struggle on to perform that abor of love. lint the hands that are held down to them from above iave grown to a host, and we may not shake off the belief that on dec orotion day they are not ludiffer ent to what Is done here; that the shining ranks are all filled; with the old commanders at their head; the old flags, cleansed of every stain are above them; that silver bugles are sounding the calls, min gled with the roll of muffled phan tom drums; for the spectacle of a great nation stopping to.strew flow ers upon the graves of their heroic dead Is splendid enough to arrest the attention of the universe. Mason is Busy V. W. Mason, the hustling local cement manipulator, has secured the contract for erecting the Farm ers' National exchange bank build- ng at Scappoose with reinforced concrete. It will be a two-story structure and Mason put a force of men to work upon it this week. He also has the contract for building Willumbia Hall ut Portsmouth, work upon which will now be pushed right along. He expects to complete the siaewaiic ot ressen- den street next week. Owing to having his hands full ot work, he was compelled to refuse a contract for constructing oo leet ot con crete sidewalk at Vancouver. Mr. Mason is adding an automatic ce ment mixer to his equipment. Wilder s male chorus of Portland spent a very pleasant day at Ridge- field, Washington, uecoration aay. We were given a royal welcome by Mayor Smith, and after a feast of good things, prepared by our girls, we gave the good people an open air concert.

Valuable Invention Luther Badger of this city is the inventor of a ball-bearing hub which far excels anything of its kind ever before devised. Mr. Bad ger has been working on his inven tion for thirty years, and is to be congratulated on the success of his efforts. It is termed "Uadgcr's Universal Hall Bearing Hub," ca pacity unlimited. A hub made from the scale of draft will contain two hundred aud eighty-four, one half inch balls which will carry 500 pounds each and have no in bear ing all the time, niving it a capacity of 32;$ tons. Twelve of them nn- der a passenger coach will carry 190 tons, which is more than double the capacity required. This hub applies to all kinds of whccls.shafts or uses that may he required. It can be reduced to two or four ways for light work or increased to any number or size to do the work re quired, will stand as much lateral strain as direct pressure and ap plies to the drive wheels of a loco motive the same as any other wheel and to n stationary engine. To Be Better than Ever Portland will be pretty much glv en up to the Rose festival for the next ten days. Business affairs will be relegated to the background Suite extensively aud the queen ower will rule with undisputed sway. This year's spectacle prom ises to set a mark with better dis plays, more gorgeous pageants aud better decorations of city streets and buildings than ever before. Other Oregon cities will participate to a larger extent than formerly aud out of town people have announced their intention of coming in large numbers. The city elections will distract uttentiou to some extent, it Is thought, from the festival on June 5th, opening day, but with that out of the way, the remainder of the week will be giveu up to en joyment. Portland rose gardens promise to produce d weattli ot per fect bloom next week.

Edison St. 37tfc, Memorial Address Editor Review: Having been im portuned by n number of friends to have a speech delivered by me on Decoration day iu the city of bt. Johns, Multnomah county, Oregon, published in some paper. I have selected yours and the speech fol - lows: Worthy Commander, citizens and children: We have met on this occasion on this beautiful spot of ground iu our beloved city of St. Johns, to recall the brave deeds of the soldiers of the North, in that mighty struggle that lasted from port. He accordingly spoke of cd i86t to 1865, being more than .i6'ucation aud Its true meaning, dis years ago, nut sun trcsn as ever in the minds of those living then who remain to this day. I see standing ou this beautiful spot a monument aud I know there is not a grave within miles of this place. What means this? I will answer: On April 12. 1861. the South declared war anainst the North and fired on Ft. Similiter, and the reverberations o those cautions vibrated from the Atlantic to the Pacific ntid the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes the North, aud on aud ou to the ends of the earth and war was made known to exist iu America between the North and the South. I cannot iu detail mention nit that did occur or the battles that were fought, but this I do know, that the loyal men and women iu every city, village and hamlet arose and suid in their might "treason must die," and in the South they said iu Ilk manner "we must have and will have extension of slave territory;" suffice it to say that the armies of the North and the armies of the South met and the battle was fierce. The Toar of our artillery and nuts ctry seemed to make the very earth tremble aud when the smoke of buttle had blown away, the North gathered up its wounded and dylnir, the dead were buried where they fell, and their vlctoripus army returned home with colors living. It is also well known that soldiers all aloni: the line of battle were buried where they fell, be that 011 mountain side or in the rich valley elow, after the dead of the battle lad been removed there remained the torn aud shattered and even shredded whose Identity could not be known aud these remains were gathered as with a rake and placed n sraves and your speaker knows of his own personal knowledge of the right bunds of three men being itirled In one gruve. How can I call that grave other thitit the grave of the unknown dead? aud thous ands of graves like this today are unknown. Soldiers, we are too apt In steak- ng of that great war to speak in praise of ourselves, but I us one am modest in speaking of any itct of mine during that terrible struggle except that I did at all times and under all circumstances as far as 1 could to obey my superior. Here I must diverge and place true patriot- sin where it belongs, and in order to do so I must call your attention to the gray haired mother of the North, who, with silent prayer con sented that her four sons might go and take the uncertainties of war. again call your attention to a young wife and n three-year-old child at her knee saying: "Go.John and do your duty and I will care for our child," Again let me call your attention to an only sister who in like manner btd her broth ers go aud defend their country, aud again the gentle maiden who gave the one who was dearer to her thau father 01 mother or sister or brother. Now, when the uews of battle Is teard that gray haired mother with fear aud trembling dares not read the papers for fear her loved ones iave fallen aud sue is informed that John, Joseph aud Clark are among the dead, and she weeps as only mothers can weep, And now the young wife, whose child at tins time is 5 years old, steps to his mother's knee and and says:"nioth- er are you sick, you look so pale and white?" and the mother re plies: "My child, your father has fallen aud you will see him no more," and the paper iu her hand wet with weeping. The sister is weeping for her brothers, aud the maiden whose betrothed went away in his strong, manly vigor, only to fill a southern grave, dons the garb of widowhood and mourns her soul-male and naught can com fort for none can understand. Soldiers, can we afford to speak of our loyal acts as compared with those noble, loyal, patriotic mothers, wives, sisters, sweathearts, who outrivalled the famous mothers of ancient Sparta? To the women of 1 86 1 to 1 86s, if this country were placed iu your hands it would be come invincible to all advancing toes. Women I can say no more. May God protect you while you live.' Amen and amen. Capt. B. L. Snow. High School Notes Celia I tunkins, Editor. A delegation of G. A. R. vetcr ans visited the high school Friday, , and addressed the students. When Mr. Nolaud, the first speaker. j learned that his was the first speech icver given in the new auditorium, t he seemed Impressed aud said that I he could not bring himself to tell of the terrors and tragedies of war as he had at first Intended, for he I wished the first message from that platform to be of far different im- cussing the comparative advantag cs of the present educational system and that of the time of Lincoln, asking iu conclusion: "What would Lincoln have thought if he could have gone to school iu a building like this?". Mr. McCollum then related scv crat personal extierlences incidental to the war, although not pertaining directly to it. Au impromptu pro gram was presented, consisting of songs by the school, recitations by Luetic Whelan and Joyce Winslow, and a reading by Miss Rttudalt.
