Oregon, ns innll inntter of the second class under the Act ol Con rfrcss of March 3, 1879. Official Hewtraptr of tho City of flt Johna, Subscription prlco $1.00 per year It is n charming tiling to keep sweet-tempered niul patient through nil tlie lnv s work mid worry. sunshiny woman in a calico dress mid white npron is the sweetest thing in tiie world. Such n woman cheery, courageous, .self-reliant mid sympathetic, will mnke poetry in her little world ns well us the poet who fills the nmKHziue with the children of his imagination. On who cnu have for her constant com pnnion pleasant tliouglits and orig mal ideas, and above all nu interest in and love for her work, will he happy in doing it. I Sweet jwaK are fragrant, henuti ful, prolific and long blooming. is a flower that thrives abundantly in this soil and climate. It is pro posed to make it the adopted (lower of St. John, and during the com intr summer, probably about th middle of July, there is to be a flo ml fete and exhibition at which it will be the brightest and most con siilcuotis feature. The Commercial club has appointed a special com inittee to take charge of the matter with C. C. Currin as chairman Seeds will be furnished free to all who will interest themselves in their care and cultivation. It is in tended as a permanent feature of St. Johns, and is a splendid idea Pas) it around and make it popular t The licst way to extend charity to persons who are in need is to give them work. Don't give any amiMKMiieu man n itcuiiy or mouthful unlet he works for it lty this the mini retains his t;elf lumped, niul the profession of the tramp is not encouraged, if a man needs help and is able to work, and you are tempted to give him some thing, don't you do it. Hut instead give him work. Odd jobs can al ways be found, and set him tit these. We do not advise refusing to relieve hunger, but we do advise that it be done in a manner that will not bleed dcH.-udcuce in men 11 uveryoue would do turn, all over the laud, this country would soon ctmse to be the paradise for tramps that it lias been. The decision of the U. S. Su prumu Court relative to the iuitia live and tefereiidum law is pleasing to thu anli-aunexHtioim whose case will bo heard by the state supreme court next Wednesday. One of the chief contentions is that the elec tiou on HiiiiexNtion was not belt under the Initiative and referendum which Iihh been on the statue hookK of Oregon for several years. Under it when the matter of consolidation ariMMi the two cities shall vote uihiii the question, and if the vote is in the affirmative in lwth cities, thu officials of both coiiKirations shall le discarded and an election onllud to elect n full set of officials to reign over the destinies of the combined coi (Miration. How the thu Oregon supreme court will han dle thu question may be known by March first. In case of an ad vurxt decision the uutis may find an incentive ly reason ot Its recent de uUiou to carry the case to the U S. supreme court. The workings of justice are some- time wierd to say the least. Abe Heuf was sentenced to 1.1 years in thu H!uiteutiuty with several other indictments hanging over his head A former mayor of San Kraucisco who seemed to work hand in glove with Ale in a number of nefaiious tinuwictions. was also wanted "pun isheri by the authorities, but proof 111 sulllclent quantities was lucking 1 heiefoie, on a bare chance that Aim would give Inn former pre Mimwl confederate away, he has Iwun iMidoucd from the (tending indictments ami made subject to jmrolu in exchange for any iuforma lion he may see fit to give. With pnanecu 01 liberty looming up Drigiiuy 111 nts way, ot course Abe will unburden himself to the fullest uxtout, except chunces are that he wont. It was not right that Abe .should Ik made subject to imrole He has been proven BtttUy and .should serve out his punishment. Wliy should one guilty man be re lMitfud from prison on the hope of incarcerating another? I'hIcm some enmity has arisen between Schmidt mid Abu, no disclosure can be ex- Htctud. A Ik- has mude 110 promis us, but the authorities are gullible enough to believe that he will tell all he knows. The chaucesare that Abu and Schmidt will, in the near futuru, lie seen uiotoriug around toguther and ixiiuted out by the populace as the shrtwtlest and most wily men of twin hraucUco. Just ice has little chance against money and intluence these days. One of the wisest and most judi oious sto taken by the Commer cial club is the proposed organiza tion of a ladies' auxiliary. It is a courteous as well as timely recog nition of woman's worth ami adapt ability, and the dub shows good judgingut in inviting lujr co-opcra-lion, Thgru arc certain 11 1113 in Stories of Success GOVERNOR JOHNSON In Ills hard dattto with un kind futr, Gov.

She is the ackiiowl edited (iiieeu of the home, and in her high domestic estate can wielt a powerful influence, that is bourn to tell immeasurably lor good. M Johns should be pre-eminently citv of homes, not only for those whose vocation and employment is here, but also for others who seek a congenial clime with restful eu vironmeiits. No one can do more nay, nor as much as woman in making St. Johns an attractive city to thu homeseeker. Shu knows how to keep her home ami its sup rotindings neat and attractive, am if this spirit shall become general all over our city, it will mean miicl in thu way of beautifying as well as sanitary conditions. 1 here arc many ways in which her alert, dis criminating judgment, her keen insight and her consummate skill can be made of incalculable bene fit niul value to our city. It shoult be leuiembered that there is the civic as well as the commercia side of thu business. In thu latter the men will naturally predomi uate, but in the former thu ladies can find abundant opportunity for Judicious and eflicient service cnl dilated to promote the general wel fare of the city. Thu concensus of opinion is that thu ladies' mix iliary will undoubtedly prove to be a valuable adjunct to our progrcs .live Commercial club. Success to it. f flie free ferry is being delayer owiiiK to the fact that the approach es or shim have to be widened to accommodate the new boat that I being constructed, and on account of some difficulty being experienced in securing 11 commodious lauding place on the W est side. New pil uig is being driven, and we under stand the lumber has been ordered for enlarging nnd placing the ap pt ouches and slitw in first class con ditiou. According to the city pa pers the county court believes it was handed a lemon or gold brick by St. Johns, but such . is not the case. It is true that it ttid not re ceive much, but the court knew, or should have known, just what it would teceive hciorc the bill be came a law. it it tlhlu t It was lacking in intelligence. The fact of the matter is that the county should have been compelled to pro vide a ferry at ht. Johns without this city spending a single cent. It is the business of the county to irovide bridges and ferries where ueccsMiry, just as it is incumbent upon it to keep up the roads. That is what the county taxes are levied for. St. Johns has been paying thousands ot dollars intotlie county coffeis and receiving nothing in re turn. Now that the law has been nought about forcing them to do a ittle for St. Johns the howl goes up that the county has been gold iricked. The citieus of this citv knew exactly what they were get ting for the $6000 expended, and only 16 voted against the expendi ture. The county may fume and squirm and pour out a tale of woe, but theie is nothing to do b it to follow the law. Its provisions are too plain and unmistakable to hedge or disregard. According to the city papers ConiinKsioner Hart, who was elected from the Penin sula, and from whom the greatest fforts should be existed ta sc enic the terry, is doing the great est knocking. lit spite of all the bickering, St. Johns will get the free ferry, or the aid of the courts will be invoked for the enforcement of the law.

Calico Carnival Thu Calico Carnival given by Philo Christo class of Kvaugclical church Wednesday evening was decidetl success. It is seldom such a large mid good humored crowd, gathers to a class entertainment of that kind. Most of the numbers 011 thu program responded to hearty encore, which lengthened that part of the entertainment to such a degree that sewing ot carpet rags and other games, which had been planned, as suited to 11 calico carnival, were of necessity omitted Those admitted numbered slightly more than 175. hrom the sale o calico articles and thu proceeds from the refreshments sold, the class netted a tidy, sum, which will be used to meet the pledge of the church building fund, The class desires to thank those who so geu erously helped with their talents and attendance, crowning its offorts with success.
