C, Picnic Site For Steel Plant Keep Your Money Here Council Proceedings May Lecture Here The Boy Scouts The St. Johns Progressive asso nation held its third meeting Inst Thursday evening in the city linll, and a set of most radical resolutions was adopted. The city engineer, mayor, recorder, niajority of the council and city water company were all severely condemned, and the water works adjudged practic ally worthless and inadequate to supply the demand forwnter. The city had acquired a had name and things as touched upon were in an exceedingly bad shape, according to the resolutions which follow: be it resolved: That the St. Johns Progressive association condemn the action of the city engineer in accepting the work on sewer No. 2, when he evidently did not know of his own knowledge, the futtlty man lier iu which the work was done. And wc also condemn the action of the majority of our city council in accepting said sewer over the re monstrance of a large number of property owners, especially when it had been repeatedly shown that the terms of the contract had been grossly violated, and that the hew er could not possibly answer the purpose for which it was intended. And that wc severely condemn the hasty action of the city mayor and recorder iu issuing and delivering some $28,000,00 worth of war rants against sewer Number 2 on July 27, 1911, when said warrants could not legally be issued until the necessary ordinance was passed, levying the assessment against the property of said sewer district No,2, in direct violation, as wc assert, of paragraph No. 10 of section 102, uud sections 109 and 1 15 of the city charter of St. Johns. And wc de mand that the mayor and recorder immediately recall said illegal and worthless warrants and destroy them. And we demand that the practice of issuing warrants against improvement districts for street im provements or against sewer dist ricts for sewer construction, before each and every provision of the city charter has been complied with iu full, be forever discontinued ,und Be it further resolved: That or dinance passed by the council some years'agcf, nli'd still iu force and t-ffeet, whereby the water company it allowed to charge and collect 10 cents per foot for lowering water mains where street improvements urc being made, is inequitable and unjust to the ubuttiug property owners, and that when tlic proper ty owners go to the expense of im proving streets, the water company should be required to put their mains down to grude.as their equit uble and just share of the street im provement, on the same basis as railroads and other public service corporations are required to put any part of their equipment occu pying public streets, down to grade, uud, Whereas: Complaint is repeat cdly lieing mude that the water company does not, iu many places, furnish an adequate supply of wa ter, on account of the small size of the mains; it is said that as many as 15 houses are supplied by a one inch main on some streets. There fore, be it Resolved: That the city council require the water company to com ply with the terms of their fran chise. Whereas: It has been suggested that the city should purchase the holdings of the present water com pany in St. Johns. Resolved: That it is not to the lest interest of the city to take over or purchase said water works, as they are deemed wholly inade quate to supply a sufficient amount of water for domestic use, and for fire protection; that much of the equipmeut is nearly worthless, and would have to be replaced almost at once; that it would be far better to coustruct a new plant, to be op erated by the city of St, Johns. Resolved: That we here express deep regret for having to assemble in mass and demand the correction of wrougs so long endured, when it is the sworn duty of the common council to correct all wrougs, and purge the city from gralt aud cor ruption. Resolved: That we commend the action of the councilmen, who so steadily opposed the acceptance of the Maple street sewer, and here aud now pledge our unqualified and hearty support to any officer who may now or hereafter endeavor to administer graft and equity to the citizens of the commonwealth. Resolved: That we greatly de plore the fact that the statemeut has gone abroad that the city govern ment of St. Johns is rotten to the core; that it shall be the purpose of this association to aid and assist all officers in the faithful discharge of duty, and to restore, if possible, a name that will be a synonym with righteousness. Respectfully sub- Kditor Review: Well, I will tell now of our picnic at Columbia Park on July 20th. I heard there were over 300, I did not count them myself, but have no doubt of it, as there were Vets and Homeguards everywhere. The old boys made mc think of my younger days, seeing boys at the Suudny school picnics, as that was the only kind we knew of iu those days, and there was smiting at the girts now, just the same as of old, and iu the outcome I believe we had an eloH.'mcnt to Ilillsboro lint tile young loiks dldn t even have to ask their pa and ma if they might come home aud lie forgiven Well, well, .what changes since ', was young I We had more than enough to eat and plenty of good coffee, nnd every one was good uuturcd. bo we know they were not hungry for who ever saw or Heard of a good natured, hungry man? I never did. An other thing that made the Vets good natured was that besides fur nishing the coffre.cteuui uud sugar, they furnished some ladies to wash dishes, set the tables aud so on, uud their consciences were clear, hence the good nature. "Us .sisters" had only to furnish different kinds of cuke and pies uud pickles uud silnds uud meats anil jellies uud fruits and baked beans uud sandwiches and (lougimuts and cookies. I believe that was all we had to furnish (and smiles for the old boys, eh? Hd.) The dnv was perfect, so it was well with us all. May wc have many returns of such times iu the future all except the surprise of the elopement -we wuut an invite here after. Press Cor. mitted, S. W. Childers, C. J. Anderson, J. II. Cunright, Committee. City Attorney Esson asked that 11 committee be uppoiutcd to assist him iu drafting nu ordinance rela tive to the relnweriug of mains that would be satisfactory to the major ity of people at least. Chas. An derson, while willing to kick uguinst conditions, was unwilling that uid should be extended to Mr Ksson' He believed that the water works should be confiscated if the company did not lower their mains at their own excuse nnd provide the required pressure. J. 11. Can right, S W. Chil-lers, S. C Cook, and W. S panthers also spoke up on the subject. 11. S. Hewitt be lieved that since the council uud the city attorney hud shown 11 dis position to treat with the ussoeia ion it was not moie than fair that a committee be upnoiuted to make suggestions in drafting an ordinance. S. W. Childers moved that a committee be selected, which was done by the audience, S. C Cook, S. W. Childers and C. I,. Perrine being chosen. J. H. Haggerty believed the wa ter company had council by the nose and that the latter would do the bidding of the former at any time. That he had bought influence him self in the past, and knew that it paid. S. C. Cook reported that when the committee brought the question of illegal issuance of sewer warrants before Ihe district attorney lie treated the matter as a joke; that they could be easily exchanged for good ones without trouble. D. C. Lewis stated that St.Johns would have a population of 50,000 in ten years, and believed the wa ter mains oil Jersey street should be much larger than they are. S. C. Cook made a motion that a committee of four be appointed to circulate petitions for free mail delivery and P. A. Bredeen, R. D. Powell, W. J, Chaney and H. S. Hewitt were appointed by the chair man. Owing to Chairman Perrine's absence on account of illuess.W.H. King was made temporary chairman and had charge of the meeting.

A couple of church deacons were reported to have tried to get into a a row with a woman iu the north end last week. She slipped out of the room and turned the key, keep ing the two captive until their ar dor cooled and they agreed to de part without further discussion. With a deal virtually closed for 2000 feet of water front on Hayden Island, across the Columbia river from Vancouver, Wash., upon which the new million-dollar steel works will be erected, plans which mean the ultimate utilization of the entire island for manufacturing plants have assumed definite form. The Staddard-Hrcuucr company, which owns the controlling inter est iu the island, reports that the steel plant has taken an option aud practically closed negotiations for a location pu the island uud that three other factories arc assured for the island iu the immediate future. A force of workmen has started the work of clearing off the timber and extensive dretjgiug work on the Oregon slough is now under way aud will be hurried within the next two weeks by the addition to the dredging force of two big gov ernment machines. The new fac tories will include the steel works, n woodenwure works, a lumber mill and a shingle mill, all of which are said to be certuin fur the near fu ture. According to E. A. Dunlop, of the Stoddard-Breuner company, the steel company has taken utt option on n strip of land extending en tirely across the island from north to south nnd near the Vancouver ferry. The north water front tukes iu 1000 feet on the Columbia river white the south front takes iu a like amount 011 Oregon slough or Col umbia harlor. Between the two fronts the company has optioned a strip of laud three-eighths of a mile iu length. The intentions ure to unload the raw materials for the mill 011 the Columbia river side, make it up iu the long factory nnd turn out the finished product at the Oregon slough side. To do this, docks will have to be built 011 the two water fronts. Huvdeii island furnishes unusual ndviiutugcs for factories, because of its location and the facilities already on the eround. The entire seven miles of water front is in easy reach of the Columbia river uud the Wil lamette, furnishing the best advan tages for water transportation. The Columbia river bridge crosses the laud aud can easily be tuped with spur for steam transportation. The electric power lines which feed Vancouver pass across the Islam! and the Vancouver Hue of the Port land Railway, Light and Power Company cuds on the island. Foreseeing tlie growth nt me dis trict, because of the facilities, the owners, including the Stoddard- Breuner company and others, have started the clearing of the timber and the building of roadways. A camp has been established on the island and three streets built from the streetcar line to the Columbia river bridge. The island is $j miles iu length and half a mile wide, and is several feet above the high water line of the Colum bia. Iu one part of the center is a slough which will be drained nnd filled In with the dredging of the laud from Oregon slough as devel opment progresses. This work will be comparatively easy. The district about Hayden island is rapidly being opened up lor man ufacturing purposes. Directly across Oregon slough is the packing plant of the Union Meat company, and the site of the $500,000 Schwartz.- child & Sulzberger packing plant. The big Monarch lumber company plant is located near there. The slough is about a quarter of a mile wide aud is spanned by the Columbia river bridge, which is a "common user" bridge for all rail roads. A draw permits the passage of vessels from the Columbia river nto Oregon slough, or, as it is now called, Columbia harbor. The harbor is formed by the govern ment dike which crosses the river east of Hayden island, The slougli is now oetug dredged by the Peninsula Industrial com pany aud the government will as sist in the work within a short time. Across the Columbia from Hay- den island north is Vancouver, which has a long water front for factories. Iu a residence line the district is experiencing great growth Paved streets and sidewalks have beeu put iu and hundreds of mod ern homes have been built. On Ilaydeu island at present there are a number of owners, all of whom consider their property much more valuable now with the assurance of the steel plant. Among these are p. A. Doty of Seattle, N. B. Coffmau of Chehalis, Joe Duerst of Portland, B. Hoffman of Port laud, Mr. Veltuer of Portland, the Portland Railway, Light and Pow er company. Mr. uuerst lias planned a shingle mill. The Mich igan people will begiu work soon ou the new lumber mill and other Following is a HtUe lesson iu fin ance which illustrntes very aptly the principle involved in the slogan, "Keep Your Money nt Home:" Mr. Brown keeps a boarding house in n certain Oregon town. Around the dining table one even ing sat Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Andrews a milliner, Mr. White the baker, Mr. Jordan the carpenter, and Mr. I.nidlnw a flour, feed uud lumber dealer. Mr. Brown took nS 10 gold piece from his pocket and handed it to Mrs. Brown with the tetunrk that there was $10 of the $20 he had promised her. Mrs. Brown then handed the money to Mrs. Andrews, remarking: That pays for my new bonnet." Mrs. An- draws in turn passed it to .Mr. Jor dan, saying it would pay for the carpenter work he had done for her. Mr. Jordan handed it to Mr. I.nid lnw, requesting a receipt for 11 bill of lumber. Mr. I.uidlaw leturned the money to Mr. Brown in settle inent for his boa id bill. Mr. Blown passed the gold to his wife saying that he hud now paid tlte 2o h had promised her, mid she iu turn paid it to Mr. White to settle her bread nnd pastry account. Mr. White hnuded it back to Mr. Laid lnw, requesting credit on his flour bill, ami Mr. I.nidlnw again return ed the money to Mr. Brown, say ng that it settled for His mouth s board. Brown but it in his pocket and remarked that he had nut sup posed n 10 gold piece would go so far. I'o illustrate the purpose of the above narration iu these columns, et us suppose that Mrs. Brown hud sent to nu Kustcru mail order house for the bonnet. The Sto would have gone out of circulation so far as Mrs. Brown's town was concern ed. No better illustration of the power of money could be had, ami a better argument for buying the "Made iu Oregon" goods and keep ing the money in the home state, instead of buying mail order goods from Ivasteru states, could hardly be advanced. The dealer must educate his own town's people along' these lines. Residents of small cities and towns must le taught how it is Hint the life of the town dermis ukii how much money is kept iu circulation in their own individual community: that for every dollar any resident spends so much is returned to him, sometimes all, as in the foregoing. Sending money nway from home serves to build up other communi ties ut the exiKjuse of your own, which is not altogether a bad thing. Help neighboring states when you can; it is n laudable thing, but Or egon should come first, ami your own community first iu all things. One way to build up Oregon insti tutions and Oregon factories is to buy "Oregon Mude Goods" of your home merchants, thus keeping the money at home. Oregon may very likely be given first choice in locating its state building 011 the grounds of the Panama-Pacific Imposition at San Francisco. Due to the good feel ing that prevails between the two Pacific coast states and the help given San Francisco by Oregon iu being made the Panama Exposition city, a .sentiment favorable to letting Oregon place its state buildings any where it wishes 011 the entire tract has deve!ojed and will probably de velop into a definite promise. Or egon commissioners expect to score a big hit at the coming exposition and assert it will be as much an Oregon affair ns un exploitation of California. Exhibits to be shown from this state are expected to equal fully, if not actually outshine the showing made by California itself. "Lady Killers" are still iu the land and occasionally one wanders into St. Johns, takes a promenade on Jersey street, or poses witli smil ing visage at the ladies as they pass one of the street corners. Last evening a married woman was heard complain to her Husband in this wise: "I hate the way tltat mail looked at me." "Why," said hubby, "how did he look?" "Well, he looked at me and then looked away itidiiierenuy, as inuiign 1 wasn't worth looking at," was me offended wife's reply. owners whose names have not been made known will build the wooden ware factory. The immediate plans iu the way of development call for clearing of the island ot timber, the building of a smtr to the "common user" bridge, the extension of the car service and the dredging of the har bor and the filling in of the inter ior slough. With this work done the way will be open for the com pletion of the new factories. Sun day Oregoniau. An almost ovei flawing number of citizens gathered iu the council chamber Tuesday night nt the reg ular meeting of the city council. It had been rumored upon the street previously that sensational devel opments iu regard to the sewer were anticipated, hence the large turnout. The chief pyrotechnic stunt of the evening, however, was not pulled off until a late hour, n number taking their departure be fore the subject was broached. All members were present with Mayor Couch presiding ns usual. Attorney A. M. lissou was absent, owing to a sudden attack of illness. The first matter to receive attention was n petition for an arc light at the corner of Fast Charleston street nnd Portland boulevard ( Referred to the water and light 'committee for recommendation by the mayor.

Both bids were bu low the engineer's estimate, The contention was that the price was too high notwithstanding this fact. Four bids were presented lor the improvement of Charleston street, as follows: P. J. Peterson it Co., $10,073.10; WW. Mason,$89.i7.o8; I. II . Cochran, ?io,&75-55; M. T. Swan, $10,027.51.

When your nid is solicited, give it cheerfully by signing up for one or more season tickets. Later Mr. Boyd informs us that 1 he has sold 100 season tickets. He still needs to place 100 more by the ' Kirding the sewer. I Ie stated that 1 It was not entirely satisfactory; that there was still n leakage ou Edison street. He believed defects would show up within two years if there were nny; thought $5000 maintain mice bond ample. Mr. Perkins stnted that he believed either tlte city ns u whole or the property owners nffected by the sewer were responsible for its payment since it had beeu accepted ns the charter provides; that he wanted the peo ple to have n good sewer; that he would advise the bondsmen to rem edy nil defects if they were pointed out to him. Socialist Perrine said the bondsmen had refused to ce ment 11 couple of joints where ce ment was lucking after Iwing told to by the Inspector, Gail Perrine; thut they covered the hole without applying the cement. He stated that the property owners did not want to throw t lie burden upon the whole city; thut they were willing to pay when they got their money's worth. Mr. Hill didn't take much stock iu the ideii that the city as u whole was liable iu any event; that eventually the property owners in terested would have to pay the ex pense. He took occasion to score the Portland head sewer imjuctor, claiming that his report wasufnrce. Alderman Bredesou thought it was time to call n halt to the discussion aud get down to business; that he was tired of continually hearing ubout sewer matters. Alderman Horsmau then made a motion that the ordinance have its third read ing. Upon vote Aldermen Valen tine, Brcdcsou, Perrine and Hill voted no, balance yes; motion lost. Mr. Horsmau then stated thut he had beeu fooled iu the sewer; tho't it much better than he had since found to be the case. Therefore, i... .wi.imik. n.ml.wt nnnont imr the sewer or txissltur the assessment ordinance until it bad been proven to his .satisfaction to be capable of doing that for which it had beeu constructed. His remarks and also Socialist Perrine's were greeted with vociferous applause by some of the auditors present. Mr. Perkins then asked that the matter be left with the engineer to point out the defects since he could get no tangible in structions from council, this was acceded to, aud upon Mr. Perkins query as to whether or not the proposition would meet with favor after the engineer's recommenda tions had beeu complied witli and palpable defects remedied, Socialist Perrine and others stated that it would. He was then directed to confer with the engineer uud have the weak points pointed out. The engineer agreed to make a thorough investigation at the earliest possible moment, and the discussion was brought to a harmonious close. Mayor Couch, who has been making a great effort to have au easy means ot access provided to the woolen mills,asked that the en gineer aud street committee iu con junction witli himself, look over the situation minutely and endeavor to work out some mode of providing the em ploy on nu easy grade- up the Adjutant "Piff" Butts returned Wednesday of last week from n two weeks' stay nt the beach.
