Bargains in Real Estate
The sewer question has been set
tled for tlie present at least, howev
er unsatisfactory the settlement
may be to some. The paving ques
tion has been adjusted, Westruniitc
being laid on Jersey street and Bit
tilithic arranged for on Philadelphia
street. The water company has
agreed to supply all with an abund
ance of water ns soon as it can pos
sibly get to it, and has even intimated
that the price of the water will be
reduced in the near future. There
fore, all the questions that have
been agitating the public the past
few months have been dissipated,
and it is hoped that no lasting bit
terness has been engendered. "It
is human to err and divine to for
give." Let us, then, forget and
foririve all differences that have
arisen in the past mid make an earn
est endeavor to net together am'
work for n better and more glorious
St. Johns. There is so much to do
and so few to do it unless all bear
it hand. The necessity of a good
Push Club is most apparent. Hut
it must be founded upon broad
lines -a platform upon which all
can stand onil work together for
the common good. The St. Johns
Progressive Association is an ex
cellent title for such on organlzo
t ion. but it must be conducted on
somewhat different lines than the
present organization. Personal
grievances.coudemiiatlon of officials
and local institutions and personal
spite must have no part in it 1 here
arc other and more proper ways of
deal ni! with such matters. Ail
VQiicemcut of the city's welfare
should be the oulv point aimed at
to work in conjunction or sympa
thv with the city council rather
than nt loggerheads with it. Many
other cities that could be mentioned
have found push clubs of incalcula
ble benefit to their advancement.
The same could be true of St.Johus.
With natural advantages and facili
ties that no other city in the North
west can boast of, St. Johns is pe
culiarly favored. If all the knock
ing could be transformed into boost
Imr. what an Ideal city this would
become. And why couldn't this
happen? Many things are yet need
ed here that we believe could be ac
quired with n little boosting. The
greatest thing of Importance is a
roadway and trolley line to the
Swift territory. A good, strong lo
cut organization could take this
matter up.learn the necessary steps
for Its acquirement, and proceed to
obtain It. It would mean that the
many workmen of that district nnd
the larger district adjoining soon to
he opened up would build homes
and do their trading In St. Johns.
A sidetrack to the new city dock
is second in importance. This
could be secured with but little
effort, and we believe a lease could
be secured for its occupancy be
fore nny expense is Incurred in
erectlugthe sidetrack. New In
dustries, a public park, a cemetery,
a heating plant and other Institu
tions arc badly needed. Why not
organize and take vigorous steps to
obtain them ? By reason of the Im
mense amount of street improve
ment now going on, the city is
more attractive than It has ever
leen. A little push, a little energy
rightly directed will do wonders. It
has been a difficult matter In the
past to get the people of St. Johns
together on any one proposition.buf
since the atmosphere has been
cleared of all disturbing questions
upon which public sentiment has
been divided, it now should be an
easy matter to forget past differ
ence and work together for the
common weal. Let ns try.
Bigger prices and better exhibits
than ever before are expected to
bring crowds to the annual apple
show to be held In Portland Nov.
15-17. The apple crop of the state
is excellent, and It is thought the
various fruit districts will make a
splendid showing. Big prizes will
be offered by the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern railroads
for the best district displays.a purse
of $250 being hung up by each line.
This will be open to competttion by
any fruit district of the Pacific
Northwest. Oregon communities
will get in line aud make fine dis
plays of the fruit that is making
the state famous aud a treat is in
store for those who like to see art
istic displays of beautiful apples.
Mesdames Hendricks, Valeutiue,
McKinney and Rice are spending
a few days at the joyful hop yards
near Independence, with Mrs. Mc
Kinney's mother as chief chaperou.
In the meantime the sale of paste
board plates have taken a boom at
the local stores, the four lone hop
time "wldders" deemiug it more
satisfactory to secure dishes that
will burn than to wash those that
jvill not.
Editor Review: (t) As briefly as
possible I will endeavor to answer
the review you make to my last
letter. You seem to have lost sigh
of the fact that lax payers of
sewer district No. 2 are the parties
upon whom you should bestow
your milk of human kindness and
(lowers; not upon the parties who
have heaped the burden of tax up
on tuem. 1 think your unlit o
human kindness has soured am
your flowers have faded.
(2) Your quotation of Benjamin
Franklin does not apply in the case
at all. 1 here arc cases on ream
where a theft has been committed
aud the party most Industrious to
hunt down the thief has proved
to he one of the gang that commit
ted the theft and the effort put
forth was only to mislead the om
cers aud cover up it ossinie any
clue to the recovery ot tlie stolen
goods.
(3) My statement as to the en
gineer stands unanswered. I sup
pose tlie practical sewer man you
refer to was Mr. Siebold, I don't
know of any other man that would
make such a statement or do such
11 job, aud if the Maple street sewer
proves a success I will conclude he
Is about right. You say you have
all along contended tliat tlie sewer
was not up to specifications, in that
admission you virtually udmit that
the council icrtctratcd a fraud on
the property owners of sewer ills
trlct AO. 2. Then where do you
stum) in your defense for thcm?Are
you on the right or wtoug side?
What more proof do you ask than
you have admitted f
(.1) ou say the city charter
does not prohibit issuing warrants,
etc. There are many other things
not prohibited. The council might
issue a warrant payable to yotirsclt
for your effort to screen them in
their acceptance of the Maple street
sewer, that would le lust as lawtul
and I guess with your help they
might make it stick.
(5) Now, Mr. hdilor, as you ad
mit most all I set up I think it use
less to say more, the proof is appar
cut. If you should say "the city
government ot Hood Klver was
rotten to the core and know us
you have admitted that they have
built a sewer that was not up to the
Secificatious as our council has
done, would that be proof or not?
Would you accept your own evi
dence? As to meeting the Hood
River man! it is not fighting men
that St. Johns needs, it is men who
will think, men that can reason,
that when they know they are
wrong will get right. Smart men
change their minds when they find
themselves in error, dummies go
right on and never change their
minds.
(6) You think I had better lay
down the liammer,ete.Cau a carpen
ter work without a hammer?
(7) Don't you think it would
have been fat better to have been
certain of a sidetrack to the dock
before taxing the people to build
one? We certainly do need a
sidetrack to that dock and for
every day's work the editor of the
Review will give I will give
two toward building such a
sidetrack. We should be getting
something out of it. As I under
stand the dock is costing the city
about 1 12 per day beside wear and
decay.
(81 In conclusion I have to say
that were I a member of the Pro
gressive association aud quietly sat
11 its assembly and heard the reso
lutions aud matters discussed, aud
had not raised my voice in condemn
ing of what you so industriously
aud heroically criticise as being
calumny, villiany, etc., I believe I
would forever hold my peace. You
say it is not your intention to con
done crime or defend iniquity, your
admission as to the sewer proves
that you do both. I most hear
tily commend the city council
for the good work being done on
our streets, aud if my support is
worth anything to them they shall
jave it in every good work they
are doing or may hereafter do; but
f it were not too late, I certainly
would protest against the work
now going forward on Edison street.
That street could have been made
on an even grade like Hayes and
Ivauhoe streets. The gulch at New
York street could have beeu bridged
without breaking the grade and
left room for llie traffic to pass
under in New York street. I be
lieve if I had.it in hand I would
stop the work and do it that way
yet. I suppose you will ridicule
this advance idea, so will say uo
more. Citizen.

1. Judging from this paragraph
Mr. Citizen is one of those very
few in the sewer district who wants
to get out of paying for the sewer,
whether it is good or had, and is
"sore" because council heaped this
"burden of tax" upon them. Such
men are enough to turn honey sour.
2. es, and tlterc arc many cas
es where a man cries "graft,
graft," when he imagines other par
ties arc getting graft aud he is not
in the deal, like the little pig in the
corner that docs all the squealing
because he Is crowded out of the
trough. Perhaps this DOES ap
ply. Or does he want us to believe
that he is being paid for raising the
line and cry of graft?
3. We certainly do not admit,
virtually or otherwise, that council
perpetrated a fraud In this Instance.
To get right down to the real facts
of the sewer question, what have
the property owners to do with the
scclficatious, onyhow? The en
gineer was directed to prepare them
and the wishes of the proierty own
ers were never consulted in drafting
tliem. Indeed, it is extremely
doubtful if even one of them at the
time the contract was awarded
knew the exact wording of the spe
cifications. Since it was entirely
within the power of the engineer to
prepare the specifications, ami In
these specifications he had re
served the power to modify them,
why should he be censured for
modifying them if he believed the
exigencies of the case made it ex
pedient to do so? Why was he
given this power if he was to be
censured for using it ? Time nud
again prominent procrty owners
have reiterated that the only thing
they wanted was "a good sewer."
Therefore, why harp ubout change
able specifications, since all the
sewer exerts have declared they
1 live a good sewer? Can Mr. Citl
.en, whom we believe knows uo
more annul a sewer than we do, or
any other man, prove that it is not
a good sewer until it has Ikmii in
use as a sewer? We have as much
sympathy for the projwrty owners
us any one else, if they have not
gotten a good sewer, but they
themselves do not know that (hey
lave not. If they can credit extert
testimony, they have. No, we
never consulted Mr. Seybold about
the sewer; scarcely know the man;
laveu't had any communication
whatever with him since he came
into this office over a year ngo
quite indignant because we favored
giving cement sewer ple 11 chance
on the Philadelphia street sewer; do
not know if he is a sewer expert or
not, or whether he ever tried to lay
a sewer before he came to St. Johns.
Strange as it may sound, there is
not enough money In the whole sew
er contract to buy us not until the
;oor house looms a whole lot closer
than it does just now. Why not
raise a howl, while Mr. Citizen Is in
lowliug business, about the Burl-
tigtou aud Philadelphia street sew
ers? They were laid by the same
contractor and we understand in
the same manner as Maple street.
Mr. Citizen aud his Progressive
resolutions were strangely silent
about them, Aud it is also strange
that after about a year's usage no
complaint has been made that they
are not performing their functions.
Yet there are mauy who will de
clare that they are laid in a worse
manner than Maple street, where
nspectiou was in vogue.
4. Baby twaddle or vaporing of
a disgruntled or diseased mind.
5. Funny that Hood River man
knew all about the "rotten" con
dition of the sewer last spring and
that the council and engineer would
accept It. Citizen here argues that
he is a dummy, and not the kind of
man that bt. Johns needs, and we
are quite willing to take his word
for it.
6. It Is all right for a carpenter
to have a hammer, but it isn't the
projer thing for him to knock the
men at work instead of driving
nails into the building he does
more harm than good with it.
(7) In regard to the dock, we
might cite the facts in the case, for
the benefit of newcomers. First a
petition numerously signed was
presented to council asking it to
call a special election to vote bonds
for a city dock, This was done
aud a verbal promise from the O,
R. & N, Co. secured to lay side
track to connect therewith after the
dock was completed. The matter
came up for vote and an ample ma
jority of the citizens voted to build
the dock. They knew that no
written promise of a sidetrack had
been secured, and also knew they
could vote more bonds for sidetrack
if the company failed to do so. Who
is at fault here the council that
acceded to the request of the peti
tioners, or the large majority of the
property owuers who voted the
bouds?
(8) We held our peace at the
Steps have been taken by Cen
tral Oregon people to exploit one of
the greatest resources of that region
that has heretofore been neglected.
This is the useful horse. To stim
ulate the breeding of fine animals,
the Central Oregon Livestock Sales
Association has been formed, with
headquarters nt Redmond, nud heie
after sales oi horses will be held on
the third Monday of each month at
that point. The object Is to estab
lish a big horse market, where
breeders will come in touch with
buyers and find fair prices for their
stock. The organization is not for
the benefit of Redmond alone, nor
is it intended for the profit of asso
ciation members, but it will help
every section nud community of
Central Oregon, even to the ranch
er in the foothills. The outside
buyer, it is believed, will come to
a sale where he can pick up a bunch
of 400 or 500 head, when if he has
to travel from ranch to ranch, he is
not attracted. All classes ol horses
from bronchos to the finest of rid
ing and draft horses, will be offered
for sale. Central Oregon has ex
ploited its alfalfa, sheep, wool and
cattle, but little has been said about
its horses. Yet it produces thou--
amis of fine animals, climate aud
all conditions- being favoiulilc to
the best development of the horse,
and the new plan will probably add
to the Importance of the industry,
How to Avoid Divorce
My advice to wives who wish to
avoid divorce is: Don't quote fa
ther. Pet your husband; he is no'
thing but n big kid. Meet him nt
the door with a smile. Dress ns
you did when he came courting.
Don't monopolize nil his spare time;
give him a chance to mingle with
his male associates occasionally.
Wear the color he likes you in nud
the style of gown. Have some
thing in the way of a surprise dish
for dinu.-r. Rend the papers nud
magazines nud be your husband's
intellectual equal. Keep up with
him Itrnnyjtpeclnninijot'work. En
courage his hobby. Be sympathet
ic and do not tell him all the troub
les of the day; he has had his own,
more sigiilflicaut and iuiortant in
divtdually than all yours put to
gether. Keep his clothes in order,
11 clean house nud good food. Your
husband is yours forever nud ever.
No chorus girl or pretty stenogra
pher can take him away from you.
But keep him or somebody else will
snap him up aud make him think
she and she alone ever did or will
understand him. -Judge Petit of
Chicago.
t rue for you, Judge, but when
a girl has been bamboozled into
marrying a lazy skunk, who spends
more lime sucking a stinking old
pipe around the cigar dives aud
pool halls than he does at honest
labor.how will she be able to follow
your recljK! after she has had her
eyes opened ?
meeting because we realized it
would have been like waving a red
rag iu front of a mad bull to at
tempt to remonstrate, as we were
overwhelmingly In the minority.
(Mr. Citizen s persistence iu spite
of the criticism later has fully prov
en this.) No criticism would have
been made by the editor had not
tlie resolutions been published at
the request of prominent members
of the organization. Then we
could not let them go to nearly ev
ry state in the union, which the
Review reaches, unchallenged. We
have no ajwlogy to offer. Since
the district attorney could find uo
evidence of crime in the sewer pro
position, when it was brought be
fore him, how could we do it? If
crime has been committed, as Citi
zen alleges, It Is his duty as a citi
zen and aggrieved party to prose
cute. Why doesn't he do so nud
quit his belly-aching?
Council might well le glad to
have such an "advanced" adviser
always provided that his wisdom
is on a par with his splendid ego
tism. His idea might well be term
ed "advanced" were It not for the
fact that it has been in vogue for
over half a century, aud that the
city council considered the same
proposition several weeks ago -and
rejected it. No, we have no ridi
cule to offer iu the face of such a
brilliant burst of second-handed
wisdom.

We left St Johns August 4, nt 8
n. in. and arrived at Seattle at 4 p.
m., where we spent two days with
Dr. W. B. Scott and family. Leav
ing Monday morning on the steam
er Princess Charlotte for Vnucoii-
! ver, u. L, arriving tliere at seven
o'clock after a beautiful day on the
bound. I nut sure 1 Have never
before seen such beautiful, bright,
blue sky bordered with such white
billowy clouds.
Leaving Vancouver at nine
o'clock Tuesday morning over the
Canadian Pacific, we saw nothiiu!
of special Interest all that day, and
ns we wanted to rise early the next
morning, we retired at 9:30. At
four o'clock Wednesday morning
we were in tlie observation car
viewing the grandeur of the Rocky
mountains, and almost immediately
we came In full view of the great
glacier. Oh I but It was grand, nud
then In n few moments we, were at
the summit oi the Selkirks, nud
then we came dashing down thro'
the tunnels, passes and gorges, iu
and out among the showy peaks
At three in (lie afternoon we hnd
our Inst glimpse of the Rockies.
After such nn exciting day we
were ready to retire at 0:30. Thurs
day there was not so much of inter
est until we arrived nt Winnipeg nt
6 p. m. Our train stopped here
three hours and we went hastily
over the city. There were tlouie
very nice buildings nud n fine
depot,
Friday morning at 10:20 we ar
rived nt Fort Williams, Out., where
we took passage on the lame new
steamship Keewatln, which was
our home until 8 o'clock Sunday
morning, when we arrived at Owen
Sound. A few hours' ride by train
brought us to Toronto. We had
several hours there nud enjoved
the beautiful city very much. Leav
ing lorouto nt s o clock wenrrlved
iu Buffalo at 8:30 p. m. After a
restful night nt the new Statler ho
tel we felt rested nud refreshed and
saw Buffalo from n touring cnr.
Some of the places of Interest: the
spot where McKinley was shot at
the Pail-American exposition, the
house in which he died, tlie house
iu which Ex-President Roosevelt
took the oath of office after the
death of McKinley and the beniitl
fill McKinley monument erected iu
loving memory by the state of New
York. At noon Monday we took
the trolley car for Niagara falls,
where we witnessed one of the
greatest natural beauties of the
world, taking a car ride over tlie
gorge and enjoyed every moment of
it. One of the most thrilling ex
periences was when we went down
behind the falls and watched the
great cataract rolling over us, while
we were over 100 feet underground
or rather, under rocks nud water.
iucsday morning after a walk
around Goat island we returned to
Buffalo nud at 1 o'clock took the
train for Ashland, Ohio, where we
arrived at 10: is. And now for the
real object of this trip; the Stouer
family reunion.
Stouer was my mother's maid
en name nud Ashland the home of
the Stouer family for many years,
It was just three mouths and six
days before the declaration of inde
pendence, while our forefathers
were fighting the battles and en
during the labor that gave birth to
our republic, our graudfatherjacob
Stouer was born, and now we were
gathered 011 the lann of the old
Stouer homestead iu a reunion.
There were 65 present, but only 13
full cousins, ages ranging from 78
years of age down to 52. Our on
ly living uncle of West Grove, la.,
was also with us, the others pres
ent were children, aud grand child
ren of the cousins. A long table
was spread and 60 of us were seat
ed around it while five of the young
ladies served us with all tlie good
things that could be supplied by
both farm and city. A little way
from where our dinner was spread
stood the same large farm house
built by my grandfather aud where
my mother was married 60 years
ago. l lie next morning eight ot
us drove over to the old country
church yard and read the inscrip
tion on the monument above the
graves of our grand parents: he
died iu 1856, the year I was born,
she two years before.
After visiting a few days we
boarded the train for Washington,

lin, Pa. There I had the privilege
of rambling all over another large
farm house where my mother was
