NO. 39 Sewer Inspector's Report The Water Meeting Stockton Sees Tillamook Snow Gets Married Council Proceedings Bachelor Event The Lord of the Sabbath REVIEW Portland, Oregon, July 29, 1911 Hon. K. C. Couch, Mayor of St. Johns, St. Johns, Oregon. Dear Sir: At the request of your self and Honorable Councilman Per riue I made a careful examination on July 28th of the Mnple street sewer .system nud othex sowers on various streets in St. Johns inter cepting thereto into the aforesaid street nud I submit the following report nfter n cnreful examination of the plnus nud specifications on file in the rccoider'A office of the city of St. Johns. Prom information handed me by the committee and observations made on the ground of the work I find that the specifications us to ex cavations have been compiled with "except where the public exigen cies, require it nud by consent of the city engineer" and for which the city engineer has given the con tractor written consent which he lias in his possession. The clause covering the specifica tions of vitrified sewer pipe and ce ment mortnr, judging ft out my ob servations, in every rtttpect have been complied with. Concerning the pipe laying of this system, I unhesitatingly say, taken 11s a whole, it is an excellent piece of work; the pipe having been laid to a true gradient line as staked out by the engineer, with one ex ceptlon.nt the 22" piHf which joins the 24" pipe at Ivanhoe there is a depression of 2" here which will n'.vor affect the flow of sewage or the enrrvlut ennacitv of said sewer on nccouut of the large i of the pipe. The streets hnvc been replaced in first class shac and I nm in formed by H?ople who observed the construction that vety little diit was hauled awny from the trench, consequently showing Unit the back filling has been performed in a good manner. The excavating in this particular territory is a mixture of minil nud clay, which will in itself, paqk very good. At such points where the trench may settle during the fall rains the contractor should be required to keep it in first clasn rdinpc. The brick is of the best quality and shape such as the market HtTord and while the secification8 were not closely followed in laying the briek in the manhole, still they lire us good, as the mmibolen that were built prior to the time that we commenced building concrete man holes in the city of t'oitlnud. I can nifely commend the contractor on the construction of the manhole as to shape nud size. The catch basins, where built on the street corners for surface drain age, have been finished off in n workmanlike manner and the pipe connecting them with the manholes have leen laid in 11 straight line which can be very easily cleaned out if obstructed by any debris. During the examination of the .sewer my iittcntlon was called to several test holes on Jersey street between Maple street and tat. Johns avenue, where a number of joints were not properly cemented. In my opinion I hew joints wore ce mented by the pipe layer but in throwing the dirt over his head onto the pipe already laid some of the pipe was disturbed. Concern ing tills system as a whole, and especially this street, as it is a 20 inch sewer pipe at this point, I think this Is of small consequence to successful operation of the sower ns in my observation in the city of Portland, where I have been super intending the construction of of several million dollars of sewer work, I have had occasion at sev eral Jitnes to pas 011 a matter of this kind. RHCOMMltNlUTlON I would recommend that the con tractor be instructed by the proper authorities to at once repatr the de fects on Jersey street between Ma ple und St. Johns avenue and more thoroughly break down the tun nels at this point where they were evidently overlooked. I would also recommend that a few niore test holes be made on Hayes street at some point between Philadelphia street and the intercepting sewer. As to the flush tanks, which were built in a first class manner.I would recommend that a I4X2 inch Iron collar be shrunk upon the lower part of the bell thereby increasing the discharge of the flush tank which will allow a greater volume of water to be discharged through these various sewers which have been laid on a minimum grade. CONCLUSION Concerning the manner in which the city engineer has carefully de signed this system as to surface drainage and house drainage using Cutter's formula, I can safely say thatrwithout any unforeseen obstat. cles that this system will not clog A mnss meeting called for the purpose of discussing the advisa bility of acquiring the local water water works by the city was held in the city hall Saturday night. About half a hundred citizens res ponded to the call. G. L. Perrine called the meeting to order, and prefaced his remarks by stating that he liked agitation. Organiza tion, he contended, was necessary to correct evils, nnd he saw no ren sou why individuals should con trol the water works, that it should be a 111t111icip.il institution. II. S. Hewitt made n motion that n permanent organization be effect ed, which carried unanimously. .Mr. Hewitt men placed tlie name of G. L. Perrine in nomination for permanent cliairmnii. Charles Hredesou advocated the name of V. H. King, but Mr. King demur red, stating that he expected to be in Southern Oregon most of the time during the next several mouths. He declared the nominations closed and when he nut the motion Mr. Perrine was elected unanimously. Chits. Hredesou placed the name of A. V. Markle in nomination for secretary: Chns. Anderson's name was advanced Dy II. h. Hewitt, but he declined. Nominations closed and Markle duly elected. l ite name of J. I. bhurts was placed in nomination for trcsurcr by Mr. Hewitt, but he declined to serve. v. .M niimomisnti men placed the name of Chns Hredesou icfore the meeting, nud lie was unanimously elected. Mr. King then made ti motion thnt the title "St. Johns Protective Association" he bestowed u hjii tin organization. Meeting universal favor, it was unanimously adopted. Mr. King said that it was not necessary to purchase the present wnter system, although 11 fair pi ice must first be offered. Randolph Gtadeii told of his cr sonal experience in Alameda, Cnl., where the flat rate was one dollar per month for water. Lafayette Capleii didn't favor buying the water works, as he fell positive that we would annex with Portland within n few more moons Mr. Hewitt moved that the chair man appoint n committee on con stitution and by-laws, which car ried unanimously. Messrs. Hew itt. Grndeu nud Markle were then duly appointed. Mr. Hewitt moved that a com mittee on resolutions be appointed likewise; curried. Mew. Chillier. Anderson and Cnnright were up pointed. Meeting then ndjourucd to Sat urday night, August 5th. at any place where contention lim arisen. I understand the contract or is under a maintenance bond for n period of two years nud thnt re liable citizens of your community have gone his bond, which said bond U one year longer than we require in Portland and if breakage, .stoppage or other obstacles should occur they would certainly arise during the fall rains, as I have uo-ticed-in my experience in Portland that all such matters show up dur ing the heavy fall rains, nnd with due diligence on the part of the contractor, assisted by the watch ful officers of your city, there will be none. After carefully perusing the spe cifications and plans drawn up by the city engineer I will at this time highly compliment him upon his ability as an engineer, his neat workmanship upon his plans and also his zeal in superintending this kind of work in the city of St. Johns. Thanking the Honorable Coun cilman Perrine and yourself for the valuable assistance rendered me during the examination of the Ma ple street sewer and assuring them that I will be only too glad to be of assistance to them at any future time, I am yours very truly, Walter K. Wilhelm. The following letter from the city engineer of Portland to Mayor Couch introducing Inspector Wil helm, gives that gentleman's stand ing with the engineering department at home: Dear Sir: This will introduce to you W. R. Wilhelm in charge of inspection work of sewers in this city. Mr. Wilhelm is thoroughly informed on the construction of the various kinds of sewers as well as the proper refilling of trenches and any matter pertaining there with. I regard very highly bis opinion regarding work performed by the sewer contractors of this city. Very respectfully, " T. M. Hurlburt, City Engineer. New fr.uit and vegetable market.

While now in a measure inacccssa blc, next year they will, with the rest of Tillamook county, be easily reached by way of the P. R. & N. railroad now practically completed, and which follows the coast line from Wheeler, the first station oil salt water on Nehalcm bay,to Tilla mook city, a distaucc of 25 miles. Almost every foot of this distance is platted into lots, from n few hundred feet to n mile back from the ocean. Some of the additions ate beautifully located on ground that rises gently from the sea to elevations averaging 600 feet. Usually there is n sand dune var ying in height, cutting off the beach from the meadows and small lakes, long, tiatrow nud full of fish nud wnter lillies, nud back of these are hilts covered with trees. Among the best of these are Garibaldi, Lake Lyttle, Rockaway, Manhattan and the widely advertised but poorly patronized Hny Ocean. The one which seemed to the writer, however, to be entitled to first place is "Neah-Knh-Nie" bench, located 2 miles from the town of Nehalcm at the base of Neahkahuic nioun tain, which is the highest elevation found between Mount Tamalpnls in California and the coast of Hrlt- ish Columbia. Located just south of this mountain and protected from the winds by its heights, lies a magnificent meadow of several bundled ncres, the rich, black soil of which extends down the gentle slope to high tide mark. Probably because of the protection afforded by the mountain, the wonderful view of the beach and old ocean is here unobstructed by the usual ill shaped, ugly sand dunes which usually pteveut one from taking in the full beauty of the scene. When tired of trampiiiU along the beach or bathing in the surf, which bete is absolutely free from the deadly undertow, one can turn to the beautiful nlder and spruce here and there along the groves gently within rising hill sides, and find their grateful shade many lovely which glens and ripliug streams, well repay one for the slight exer tion caused in reaching them, or open meadows may be visited and many happy Hours spent tn picking and ndiniriug the too or more va rieties of wild flowers which here bloom in n wonderful profusion of colors nud shades. The fact that Neah-Knh-Nie bench was formerly an old Indian camp.nud also nn old resort of early day pirates ami boasts of many stories of buried treasure, lends an added charm which is lacking in other localities. The old Indian trail over the moun tain is fast being converted into one of the most scenic automobile roads to be found any place and when finished, as it will be next year, will open up a large reach of coast heretofore inaccessible to this kind of travel. It will allow one to leave Portland by way of Forest Grove nnd the famous Wil son river road to Tillamook; then follow the coast line around via Nehalcm, over Neahkahnie moun tain to Cannon beach, thence to Seaside and back by way of Astor ia, making a circle of about 400 miles, every foot of which is attract ive as to defy description, and which cannot begin to be apprecia ted until seen. One can pick his own stopping places and be able al ways to have lish andgame in allium- m w t f t auce. xsean-nau-me oeacu is onty a small portion of Neah-Kah-Nie farm, most of the 1100 acres iu the tract being used by its owner S. 6. Reed for stock raising purposes. He has a line herd ot Ayershire cattle, some good horses and a flue band of sheep. . With the excep tion of the cows at milking time the stock practically takes care of itself. Mr. Reed is setting the rest of Tillamook county farmers a fine example in road building, having arranged to beautify and gravel a large stretch of county road at his own expense. It will surprise many to learn that Nehalem valley aud bay has as much or more standtug timber tributary to it than Tillamook bay and the five rivejs flowing itito it, while the area of farm laud is nearly or quite as large; also that all indi cations point to the fact that it is much more feasible and less ex pensive to open up Nehalem bay so that large vessels can enter than Tillamook and that vessels will be much better protected from the the southwest winds. That the people of this valley have the cour age of their convictions is shown by the fact that they have formed the "Port of Nehalem, and speut 50,000 of their own money in the beginning of the construction ot a jetty which will open up the chau- Kditor Review: Again I drop in upon you aud nsk permission on this n special occasion for the purpose of making an explanation. It is n well known fact thnt there is n great number of persons who seem to take n very deep interest ill my business nnd welfntc It is n well known fnct thnt I am n born soldier, hnving participated in the Kansas tree state war, and also iu the rebellion nud took an active part iu the Spanish-American war, through nil of which I passed com paratively without being seriously crippled. Thnt .same spirit prompt ed me to enlist in n fourth, but plensnnt warfare, nnd on July the 27th, 1911, I mustered my forces and entered into an engagement til Hlllsboro, Oregon. The battle seemed fierce for awhile but I emerged from it without 11 scratch. I captured the opposing jmrty nnd led them captive to my home in St. Johns. They promised to be loyal hereafter nnd expected to be a rol led, but I found 011 closer acquaint once that there wns .sonic ri.sk in so doing, nud to make sure I h ive them corralled nl my foil in St. Jolins.and she will henccfotth draw her daily rations, she promising never to fight ngniu in opposition tositpetior force.

Much more mon ey is needed, however, nnd congress has ordered n survey nnd estimate of the cost of the improve ment nud It Is likely that the vnrt will be given substantial assistance iy uncle bam. 110111 iNeiimem and Tillamook valleys nre ideal for dairying aud while they derive con siderable revenue from this indus try nt present it is only in its infan cy ami will increase ny leaps and bounds ns the timber is cleared awny. What is really needed, how ever, is more new blood. A living is secured with so little exertion that the ureotcr our t ion of the old er settlers nre conlout lo milk 11 few cows, sell the product to the cheese fnctories and stop at thnt. Many of them even buy butter for their own use instead of making it. With the coming of rniboads nud prom ised opening of the harliors bus come the realization that good roads nie absolutely necessary and SH0.000 was set aside by Tillamook county for road purposes this year. It is also proimsed to set iiiwrl 1 150,000 per year for three or four years for building and improving roads iu the country. 1 his work will be let by contract ns it has been found that n saving of nearly 50 per cent. is made by so doing.

Ilottom laud adja cent to Tillamook city is held nt $600 nud $700 per ncre, nothing ex tra Iteiug charged for the stump which nre plentiful, and cost, it is said, $75 per acre to dispose of. Dairy fat ins are also held nt fancy prices. In the Nehalem country prices are more reasonable, averag ing from $100 per ncre for the best unimproved bottom land down to I50 per ncre for uplands nt a dis tance from the river. Hd, L. Stockton. Prospects Bright Hankers ami business men gener ally expect marked Improvement In business conditions throughout the Pacific Northwest as the result of the bumper crops the farms are turning out this year. It is believed the distribution of the crop money among the farmers will mean re newed activity iu all lines and none more particularly than in the lum ber industry. A reawakening of the lumber business will be widely beneficial by reason of the money it distributes among a large number of people. The grain harvest, now iu full swing, is the most satisfac tory feature of the whole situation. The yield of the Pacific Northwest states is fixed at better than 60,000,- 000 bushels and prospects are fav orable for high prices. Fruit, hops, salmon, and all the varied resources of the Norshwest states will contrib ute their share to the continued prosperity of this section of the couutry. Leo.

For Insurance see F.W.yalcnJijtc All members of the city council nnd innyor were present nt the reg ulnr meeting Tuesday night. The first mutter tnkcu up wns n remonstrance on the part of four property owners objecting to the cut contemplated in the improve ment being made in Ivdisou street near New York.clniminii thnt their! property would not strum for the assessment nnd would be lew vnlu- able by reason of said cut. Alder men Hilt nud Perrine contended that to lessen the cut would nbolinh the system of five r cent, grades on the hillside, worked out nfter much consideration by the city en gineer; that n few low-priced lots should not stnnd iu way of n good grade to Hrndlord street. While deploring the necessity and recog tiizing the hardship 011 the proerty owners, yet they declared that the owners bought the projverty with their eye on, nud probably got their lots cheaper than would oth erwise have been the ense, Ihrcnuse of the prolmbility of n big cut nt the time of improvement. Attor ney ICusou staled that the only way the cut could be abrogated would le to throw out nil proccediiiR nud liegin over again; that the procity owner had 15 days to remonstrate Iwfore bids for it improvement wen advertised for, nnd a they did not take advantage of till oc casion, it wns rather late tp object now when the contract hud leeu let nud the work win well under wsiy. If n change wns made now he did not think the botuU could lie old, nor could the property owner be held for their asacastueuls. Aid. DavIs made n motion thnt n new grade In; established, but upon the attorney's statement the mayor tilled that the motion wns out of order. Geo. J. Perkins wa Present and stated that he would take n elm nee on the ferry bond, iu the event that the council would mm an or dinance (which wn done later) providing for holding sjHicinl elec tions; the charter being rather si lent in thl regard. Therefore he would try to mirwiade Motrin Hroi. tn take the bond, aud failing to do this, would Hilvhtc the St. John Tniut)M)rtatiou coiuwuy tn take them themselves, which the comiMity hutl expressed a willing- tie to do upon the advice of I heir attorney, Mr. Perkins). StreimotiM objection wan rained to the proponed opening of Kellogg street ktwceu Burlington and Chi cago street 011 the twirl of Hick tier llro. , W. II. King ami other. It seem now that they do not want the htrect opened up at any hazaid. Hickuer llro. thought they would be damaged to the extent of &1000 nud k'liefited not at all. Mr. King stated that he would not take $1500 for the ao-loot trip proiovd to he taken from hi property, and he could see no benefit by oieuiug the street. Naturally the viewer could not see it iu that light, ami it i well for them that the assessor doe not, either. Judge Grceue, attorney for Hickuer llro., intimated that if proceeding were curried out, the aid of the circuit court would lie in voked, Ou motion of Mr. Hill the matter wo laid over for one week for fuller investigation ou the part of the council; all ye. An Introductory letter from en gineer Hurlburt of Portland, and a report from Chief Inspector Wil helm (both of which appear in thi issue) were read and ordered filed by the mayor. Socialist Perrine ridiculed the reMrt, aud stated that lie wns going to write the city coun cil of Portland exiwaiug what sort of a man they have employed for sewer inspector. Mr. Ierrine is be ginning to realize that actual mun icipal conducting of affairs aud the ory are vastly different. The following bills were allowed on motion of Alderman Muck; all yes: Thurston Johusou, $10, D. J. Horsmau $25, J. II. Sutith,$i 23.50, Kilham Stationery ami Printing Co, S36 45.

At the instance of Alderman Hredesou the chief of police was di rected to investigate the ordinance relating to docks, aud ascertain if the stove works had a right to keep the dock locked and use it for their own private purposes. As correcting of the evils of the Maple street sewer was at a stand still, Alderman Muck made a mo tion, seconded by AWerinan Val entine, that the contractor ami bondsmen be notified to get busy at once and remedy all defects, also that Mr. Seybold be notified to forthwith remove all surplus dirt from the Burlington and Philadel phia street sewur systems; all yes.
