REVIEW
Council Proceedings
All members were present with
Mayor Cottcti presiding at the regit
Inr meeting of the council Tuesday
night. Tltc grist of btislnsss before
the dads was somewhat less than
usual, adjournment taking place an
hour earlier than has been the rule
with the new council.
After the minutes had been tils
posed of the first matter taken up
was a petition for a hydrant at the
corner of North Hayes and Trum
bull streets, which was referred to
the water and light committee for
recommendation.
Assistant City Engineer C. A.
Vincent, asked that he be placetl
on a daily wage scale of $4 per diem
instead of monthly wage us hereto
fore, asserting that this would give
him more time off duty for which
he would tlraw no pay. The may

scaie man on a mommy, since lie
has been working full time right
along. Alderman Iiredesou want
ed to know who was to keep the
time, and Socialist Perrine statct
that this was the engineer's duty,
and that the assistant should be
docketl for all hours off. Some of
the members wondered how a man
could keep the time correctly unless
lie was on duty every minute mm
self. Socialist Perrine has been t
strong advocate 01 me daily wage
system in the engineering depart
meat, but he has not thus far ntl
vanced n system of keeping time
correctly except to advance the idea
of a time-clock, which uu employe
of the department could click off
morning, noon and night or as oft
eu us council deemed necessary, but
whether he would be busy in the
interim is the question. However,
lie made a motion that the reddest
be granted, and upon vote all voted
in the alhrmative except Alderman
wedesoti, wlio had little faith in
fie new arrangement proving more
satisfactory than the old in spite of
me tact mat it would cost more
money.

Chairman of finance committee
A. A. Muck reported that the com
mittee had gone carefully over the
rock crusher report ami found it
correct. Report accepted by the
council.
I he question of the engineer's
bonds was broached ami the record
er stated that an ordinance now in
t-lTect required a bond in the stun of
$3000 and tliut the engineer was
making provision to provide the

Muck; all yes.
A request tltat an arc light at
the corner of New York and Willis
boulevard, which had been promised
by the old council after New York
street had been improved, be in
stalled was presented by D. N.
Byerlec in behalf of the property
owners in that vicinity. The light
committee reported that it would
be installed as soon as arrange
incuts could be made.
The fire commission authorized
to investigate fire apparatus and
prices reported on same and was
authorized to provide as much as it
deemed uecessary on motion of
Alderman Muck; all yes, The new
apparatus is for the purpose of plac
ing hose stations at three of the
most important aud least protected
parts of the city.
The request for a fire hydrant at
the corner of Bradford ami Krie
streets was disapproved by the wa
ter and light committee for the rea
son that good protection is already
afforded in that section of the city.
The report was accepted on motion
of Alderman Davis; all yes.
Attorney Esson made a report on
the distance allowed by ordinance
between saloons and schools, which
gave the distance as 400 feet from
the school buildings. Alderman
Horsman called attention to a sec
tion in the charter which stated the
distance shall not be less than 400
feet from the school grounds as the
streets go. Tin attorney then stat
ed that the charter would have
preference over any ordinance that
might have been passed. Mr. Hors
man then moved that the city coun
cil and eugineer meet at 7:30 Wed
nesday evening and proceed to
measure the distance between the
high school grounds and the sa
loons. Motion carried; all yes.
The engineer's acceptance of the
improvement of Fessenden street
from Buchanan to the city limits
was accepted by the council; all
yes.
J. O. Emerson objected to the
sidewalk in front of his property on
Mohawk street, claiming it was
not up to specifications. The en
gineer reported that the contractors
had made an agreement with Mr.
Emerson in which they agreed to
relay the walk if it did not give
satisfaction. Aldermen Hill and
Perrine favored making contractors
live up to the specifications; that
they did not believe in private par
tics and contractors getting together
and coudoniug poor work. Mr.
Hill, however, said that in this in
stance he was satisfied that the con
tractors would live up to their
agreement and make the walk good
if it proved unsatisfoctory. Alder
man Davis moved that the remon
strance be filed. Aldermen Valcu
tine, Davis, Muck and Hill voted
in the affirmative and Brcdcsou,
Perrine and Horsman in the nega
tive; motion carried.
A request that the city pay $1
per week into the sprinkling fund
wus accetlcd to on motion of Alder
man Muck, although he and one or
two more believed the city should
pay more, Mr. Hill ndvauciug the
idea that the city should pay for it
all, since the people as a whole
would be beneficiaries by the laying
of the dust.
Mayor Couch tendered a telegram
which he had received from Wash
ington a few days previous which
stated that if tin infringement was
made by the Wcstrtimite company
upon 11 certain patent suit would be
at once instituted. The statement
was so natural and obvious Unit it
elicited 110 comment ami was order
ed filed by the mayor.
A resolution to improve Haiti
more street from Jersey to Edison
was adopted on motion of Alderman
Hill; all yes.
Ordinances providing the time
and manner of improving Philatlel
phia street from Hayes to Edison
and Edison street from Fesscnden

tiou of Aldermen Muck and Valen

Ordinances assessing the cost of
improving Mohawk street from

socialist Perrine believed Hint
better care should le taken of the
road roller and that it should be
kept when not in use in the shed
provided for it, but from wlitcli it
had been ousted to make room for
the sprinkling wagon when it had
been purchased. He said the rol
ler was more valuable than the
sprinkler, uud therefore he movul
that it be placed in its shed at the
completion of every job upon which
it was used by a contractor; car
rial unanimously.
The sale of tlie ferry bonds tlieu
became an active subject. Alder
man Hill thought the bond buying
company had "played horse as long
as it should be permitted to do."
The mayor stated that he was as
sured by Morris Bros, that the sale
would be consummated as soon as
more affidavits had been seut east
to be scanned ouce more by the
wiseacres there, aud that every
thing was apparently satisfactory
with the company in Portland, but
the eastern attorneys had
to be 1
thoroughly satisfied, and

would be notified here by wire
soon as possible. Mr. Couch also
stated that he had tried to get a
member of the bond buying com
pany to come before the council
and explain matters; that he could
not arrange it for Tuesday uight,
but thought he could for Wednes
day night. It was decided to ad
journ the meeting to Wednesday
uight to hear wliat lie lias to say.
While the mayor is vexed by the
unexpected delay, he could not see
how any time could be gained by
withdrawing the sale from Morris
Bros, and awarding it elsewhere, as
trie same amount of red tape would
110 doubt have to be again unwound,
Why the bond buyers are apparent
ly playing for time on the proposi
tion is hard to understand, but it

will have to make haste now in or

diately after a harmonica saved the
life of Wannebo last Thursday
night the druggists secured the
mouth organ and bullet and placed
them in their show window togeth
er with a clipping from the evening
papers relative to the atiray. The
entire window was devoted to var
ious kinds of harmonicas, and the
intimation was quite obvious.
Shooting Affray
William H. Wannebo, a resident
of St. Johns, the hero of an cticouu
tcr with two rowdies who last uight
who insulted two women com
pauious, owes his life to a small
harmonica which he carried in his
upper left side pocket.
Wannebo, Joe Lewis and the two
women had just stepped off the car
near the St. Johns Heights bridge
when tt matt who later gave his
name as Ed Long aud a companion
whose name Long refuses to divulge
made insulting remarks about the
women. Wannebo, incensed at
the remarks, turned on the rowdies
and started to fight. Both drew
revolvers and bullets flew fast for a
minute. One bullet struck the har
monica, aud but for its presence
mere would have entered Wanne
bo's heart. Another bullet plowed
through Watmcbo's check, making
a wound that will always show.
But in spite of the two shots that
struck the man, he fought both
rowdies, finally knocking Lone tin
conscious. Turning his attention
to the other man, he fought until
Long showed signs of coming to
At this Wannebo turned on Lone
and succeeded in holding him but
theothcr man succeeded iu escaping
11 tlie urtisli.
I'atroiiuan u. i. blicrwood was
summoned and brought the man to
the station, where he was charged
with assault with intent to kill.
This morning Deputy District At
toruey Hennessey, in spite of the
fact that only the harmonica saved
Wannebo from death, reduced the
charge to simply assault and battery,
but Judge Tazwell gave him the
limit on that charge, 90 days mid a
tine of $300.
Wannebo has taken the liarmou
lea for a treasured keepsake, also
the bullet which was ilattcned
against it. A description of the
other assailant has been furnished
to the jKilice and they are looking
for him. Friday's Journal.
Wouldn't it be Nice
If one could get a party 011 the

If the Bittilithlc Paving Co. would

Point Well Taken
An Eastern friend and subscrib
er to the Review, iu a letter to the
editor has the following to say up
on the annexation question: "As
1 und.rstand the laws of Oreeou. if
the state grants a charter to iucor-
to a!,.. . I . ........ ........... .. ..
t law alter mat wnicti coullicts with
I the charter, or it it does the charter
stands and not the law. If this
point is well taken, then the state
could not order an election contra
ry to the provisions made to hold
elections in your charter, and if the
state could not, how could the city
of Portland do so? Portland ordered
an election not only contrary to the
provisous made it your charter for
holding elections, but such an ele
tion.if it standstill wipe the char
acter and name of St. Johns off the

Leads to Sorrow
This is the pathetic story of one
misguided man. He was employed
as janitor iu a large office building,
and as sucit drew wages ot -f 75 per
month and was given a comfortable
and .light room iu which to live.
Aside from this he did many "odd
jobs" for the tenants iu the build
ing wlicrc lie was worktnir. aud iu
this way added considerable to his
income, averaging probably ti total
revenue of $100 a mouth.
One evening the janitor stopped
to listen to tlie speech of n street
orator holding forth oil the West
Side. A placard announced that
the speaker was employed bv the
socialist party, and the remarks of
the man showed that he was enene-
cd to give his auditors "hot stuff"
of the most radical kind. The speak
er fulfilled his job to the best of
his ability, and be it said to his
credit that his talents were far from
mean.
The janitor listened to the har
angue, and npsorutti 1 11c ideas
hurled forth so vehemently by
the street orator. He cheered when
the crowd cheered, and he laughed
when the crowd laughed, and then
he solemnly nodded his head and
said that it was surely so, Then
he returned to his room iu thcnllkc
building, packed together his few
belongings, ntul wailed for tlie
morning.
Morning came mid the janitor
made the rounds of the offices mid
told the tenants that he was going
to ci ti It. In most of the offices the
janitor announced wliy lie was
go
tale ing to give up his job. His
ran something as follows:
"I listened to this fellow 011 the
street last night, and he taught me
a wuole lot. He made me realize
that I am a MAN and that I had a
man's right to luxury, the same us
these millionaires. I know that
this job is beneath me,' mid I'm
through. I am not going to do
any more menial work, I am no
body's slave. Let somebody else
empty the cuspidors and sweep the
Hoars. I am a man, I am. and I
am going to demand the rights of
a man. If I want tolivc!lu.Mirious-
ly I'm going to do it- I'm now
through with this job,aud I am go
ing out and be a man and live as u
man should." Then the janitor
quit his job.
All of which is pathetic. Iu the
first place the janitor has lost a good
job, n job much bette, than the av
erage man of his training can get.
1 11 the second place he has no pros
pects, and very little money. And
in the third place he is sadly mis
guided. All the street orator told
him is true- -he hits 11 man's right
to get the most he can out of life,
aud to live as luxuriously as possi
ble. But and this the street ora
tor did not tell him he must earn
this living by his own efforts. When
he gets money he may live iu the
lap of luxury, but he must get the
money himself. Even the socialist
party will not give it to him. That
is the tragedy of the street cam
paign waged iu this city; men ate
told what they have a right to
guin.but they are not told how they
must work to get it.
Socialism has some good points,
But the socalled socialism preached
by demagogues hired at $4 a day to
harangue street crowds only plants
seeds of discontent aud tin-rest; it
causes men to expect something for
nothing, it causes them to lose
good positions, it makes them out
casts and helpless beggars iu the
bread line aud tlie soup kitchens.

Somewhat of a Surprise
T. J. Motialllltl. nn?tmni:W of
Johns, who tendered his resigna
tion the other day, is one of the
leading citizens of the Peninsula,
nt.,1 I.Xm ....... .
...... ma uiiuuuiiccmcut was some
what of a surprise to most of our
people.
He resigned to accept the posi
tion of local manager of the St.
Johns and Pcuinsula districts of
the Portlaud Railway, Light and
Power company. Prior to his ap
pointment as postmaster, he was
with the company for three venrs
as general agent for this district,
anu tor 20 years prior to that time
was connected with the City and
Suburban Railway, which was ab
sorbed by the Portland Railway,
Light and Power company.
Mr. Monahau is better known
probably than any other citizen
within our district and his popular
ity has been attested by the fact
that during his service as postmas
ter he conducted the affairs of that
Institution to the entire satisfaction
of every one.
The Portland Railway, Light and
Power company could not have
made a wiser move than in selecting
one so well acquainted with the two
pie of the district, uud we will pre
dict for him a splendid association
with the patrons of the company.
