NO. 52 Council Proceedings The Library HIGH SCHOOL LYCEUM COURSE Contracts Closed Hewitt's Hallowe'en Threw His Cane Away The shortest session of the pres ent city council took place Tuesday night, Utisincss before the house wns slight and for the most part un important. All members were pres ent with Mayor Couch, fiesh and triumphant from his recent deer hunt, presiding. 1 he first matter to be disposed of was a petition from the water company asking for permission to pile wood on the street opposite their pumping sta tion, which was granted. A re monstrance against this permission, filed by R. li. Mclntirc on behalf of J. J. Randall, was read and re ferred to the street committee. A fire hydnut was ordeied in stalled at the comer of South Jer sey and Hurr streets. A portion of Macrtuu avenue and South Jersey street from Mohawk to Huchanau street was accepted by the council. Councilman I Iorsmau stated that he did not believe in removing in spectors from one street and plac ing them upon another before the first contract had been done; that he knew of instances whete this had been done; that all street in spectors should be compelled to stay on the streets assigned them ' until they had completed them satis factorily; that it was hatd to keep track of their time otherwise. Al derman I'erriue believed that it was the duty of the engineer and the various street insccUrs to meet with the council every evening, so that any desired information could be obtained first hand. He made a motion that they be demanded to attend every week, which carried unanimously. The viewers' reports on the pro posed oeuing of Crawford and Hrudford streets were received and November 14th was designated as the time for hearing any objections t hut might be made thereto, on mo tion ot Alderman 1 1 ill, wlucli car ried unanimously. An ordinance prohibiting smok ing on the city (locks was passed on -motion of Aldermnu Horsiiau; nil yes. A plat of Wilnier addition, lying letwccu Olympin and Fesseudcu streets, was accepted 011 motion of Alderman Valentine. Mr. Hill, however, vigorously opposed the acceptance, owing to the fact that provisions had been made for 40 foot street only; he stated that he would never favor less than u Go foot street. Mr. Hill believed that the city should have the dirt removed from the Kdison street sidewalk at Pitts burg street, and that the bank should be beveled off. He made a motion to this effect, which car ried unanimously. Complaint having reached the council that a stngnaut pool had formed at the rear of the St. Johns luttudry, matter was referred to the health committee to have same ubated, Caught Big Ones Dan Williamson and Lewis Mil ler sjwiit last week with V. L.Mar kle on his ranch on the White Sal mon river, Washington state. Sto ries of the large trout that had been captured in that vicinity made their Izak Walton blood reach a fe ver heat, and they decided to try their luck. They spent almost the entire week with a rod in hand, and the result was far beyond their fondest expectations. Dan cap tured the largest trout of the Rainbow variety, measuring 30" inches in length and weighing 73-4 pounds. Lew succeeded in getting two a tri fle smaller than this one. Resides the large trout they captured huu dmls of smaller ones, ranging in si from six to 14 inches. They lth claim that part of the country to be a veritable sportsman's par adise, aud say they never enjoyed themselves so much in their lives. The large fish was on exhibition at the Review office Saturday morn ing, and attracted considerable at tention. It took the boys half an hour's hard struggle to land the big ones, but they do not begrudge the time it took to get their victims out of the water Dan presented I the editor with a couple of nice slabs of the large trout, aud we found it mast delicious. M. W. Vaughn and family have returned from a three mouths' stay at their old home in Redding, Mich. Mr. Vaughn reports times rather slow in the Kast, especially so in Southern Kansas, where he made a short visit. Here a four years' drouth has occurred, the oiie of the past year being the worst of all, and the corn crop is an utter failure. They were glad to return to St. Johns.

The twrson who prides himself on his good memory often makes a storehouse or garret of his mind, stullmg it with all kinds of curious and unwieldy pieces of knowledge, painfully acquired nud rarely used. Set your mind nt work at more useful pursuits and let the library be your storehouse of facts and figures. Its reference collection has this week been strengthened by the addition of Nelson s hucyclopcdia in 12 vol times. It is an up to date work, unusually well illustrated, with manv colored plates, aud will give ex celleul service both to the student ami the inuti of affairs.

Onre, "the blind man eloquent" of Oklahoma, Is booked as one number on the High school Lyceum course. Senator Gore is undoubtedly the most interesting figure in American public Hie. His position is unique. When he first ran for senator iu Oklahoma, he was very little known and had less thuu $io0 on which , to make his campaign. Pitted 1 against him iu the preliminaries 1 was a wide v known nol it eian. a out the state, made n canipaiun.and j by straight-forward, systematic ed. He is, with one exception, the youngest man iu the senate, but no man on the democratic side ranks higher iu influence. A great many people are of the opinion that should a deadlock occur iu the national convention, Senator Gore will be the democratic nominee for the presidency. As orator, Senator Gore ranks liilClt.

Good leaders nud good meetings, Come. Better Car Service It i reported on what is con sidered goal authority that the xiy aa you mlr earn will be put on the I St. Johua run in a few days. Single 1 corn take the plmt of the pres lent tmiUr system and the service made every 10 untunes, witli n 40 minute schedule. Color Is given to the rejwrt by the facts that the pruseut St. Jonns cars are badly 1 e ded for the Vancouver service, and that many new St. Johns signs are be ing made iu the shops. If true the change will be very acceptable to St. Johns residents, especially those who have to take the cars early and late because of being employed in Portland, A io-minute service will give these people a much better chance to get to work 011 time. Credence is ulso given to the report because improvements have been made 011 practically every line iu the city except St. Johns Telegram, It's "back to nature" with Geo. Simmons. You can no more keep him off the farm than you can keep the chickens from scratching, The place where George caught it this time is over iu Washington, about 18 miles from Vancouver, four miles from Ridgefield aud about three blocks from the boat lauding 1 where there is a daily boat. He has a peach of a little ranch, he I says. This year, from five acres of I spuds they took 784 sacks of fine ' tubers. And tlie l.ewts Kiver 011 which his ranch is located is a ver itable sportsman's paradise. If Geo. doesn't become iuocculated with the fever of the sports aud go hunting and fishing every day he will be coming back to St. Johns in a few years for an occasional visit, trav eling iu his own whiz wagon. He will take possession of his new home at once. For Rent Furnishud Flat three rooms besidos hall and bath Fur nished At. See Caluf IJroj. oppo site postofiice.

A bump on a log is good to hang 011 to if you can't swim, but a knocker isn't worth n tinker's dam anywhere for anything. The devil won't have him, because he's so green he won't burn, and he can't get into the other place, be cause nothing that is evil may enter there. Darn a knocker anyway, he always will be u maverick Dad. "Him," one of the jolly llache lor boys.writes to "Foxy" from his old home in Iron wood, Mich., send ing greetings to his friends here.

Tltls is not n medicnl ad vertisement, but n statement of fact. Southern Oregon coast country has a unique sport found nowhere else in the state.
