ST. JOHNS, OREGON, FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1912.
NO. 2!
Have Made Good
It is but fitting, ns the present
city council is about to relinquish
the reins of city government, that
something be said concerning the
individuals that have taken part in
making history for St. Johns, and
a brief review of the work they
nave accomplished.
At the very outset momentous
questions had to be settled, most
delicate of which was the paving of
Jersey street and the acceptance or
rejection of the Maple street sewer.
The former was amicably adjusted
by permitting the property owners
to make their owu selection as to
the kind of hard surface. The
sewer problem was more intricate.
Councilman I'erritic inaugurated a
desperate Tight against its accept
auce that grew quite bitter at times.
While it was conceded that the
specifications were not strictly ad
hered to, council was pretty evenly
divided between acceptance and
non-acceptance. The outcome was
that several defects were remedied,
and a heavy maintenance bond ex
acted of the contractor. Despite
pessimistic predictions to the con
trary, the sewer system weathered
au unusually severe winter without
showing a "yellow streak," and, in
fact, could not have worked better
were it one continuous pipe without
a break, liven the strongest ob
jectors are coming to the conclusion
that it is not such a bad sewer, af
ter nil.
More street work, and of a better
grade, was accomplished the past
year than in any two years pre
viotisly. More Arc apparatus has
been added, public fountains erect
ed and a crematory provided. The
latter institution was a problem nil
former councils failed to solve. The
record made by the present council
will go down in the annuls as the
most progressive and successful of
all St. Johns city history.
Mayor Couch was largely respon
sible for this most satisfactory rec
ord. As a presiding officer he was
most admiruble. Tactful, resource
ful and full of vigor and energy, he
always knew what to do and how
to do it. No couucilmanic body
ever had a better adviser. No
matter what problem faced the
council, Couch could always be de
pended ujxjn to point the surest and
safest way out. lie well knew how
to pour oil upon the troubled waters
when dlssention arose, ami his keen
insight and helpful suggestions
were fully appreciated. The great
budget of business he could dispose
of in a minimum of time was a rev
elation to all who were familiar
with municipal business. It was
through his personal efforts that a
method was worked out whereby a
roadway was accomplished to the
woolen mills, and his method was
quickly adopted and carried out by
council. This was a feat all for
mer councils gave up in despair.
He gave his time to the city with
out stint, in fact to such a degree
that he was unable to give his own
business the attention it demanded.
It was solely ott account of his pri
vate business that he resisted the
earnest solicitation of many of his
friends that he again become a can
didate. It may be that there are
men who would have made as good
mayor as Mr. Couch, but we much
doubt if there are any that would
have made a better one.
Frank A. Rice took charge of
the recorder's office without any
previous experience in municipal
affairs whatever. But in spite of
his inexperience, vastly more work
was accomplished in the recorder's
office the post year than iu any pre
vious year. And the work was
done well. The recorder's office
could uot possibly be in better
bands. Pleasant, courteous, oblig
ing and scrupulously honest and
upright, the city can congratulate
itself upon the fact that Mr. Rice is
certain of re-election,
Treasurer W. Scott Kellogg has
looked after the various funds of
the city exchequer well. Au ex
pert book-keeper and accountant,
he kept everything in perfect order,
and worked out several systems of
arrangement in accounts that saved
time and labor. His two terms in
succession debarred him from be
coming a candidate for the office
this year.
City Attorney Esson safely guid
ed the "ship of state" away from
dangerous shoals aud breakers, and
was a faithful attendaut and adviser
at the council sessions. More work
devolved udou the citv atlornev the
past year than any other year, and 1
being thoroughly versed in munici
pal affairs and the city charter, he
gained a celerity and progress that
made possible the vast amount of
work done. Most city attorneys
are made the subject of severe crit
icism on the part of the populace,
but Mr. Esson was singularly free
from all odium. All bis actions
were based on the charter, which
left no room for criticism. Owing
to' his intention of moving to Cali
fornia next week, he is not a candi
date to succeed himself.
President of Council A. A. Muck
has made a good councilman, and
on several occasions when he acted
as mayor presided with dignity and
a grasp of details that proved his
worth as presiding officer. True it
is that he was subjected to some
criticism on account of his staud
upon the sewer question, he believ
ing, after considerable time spent in
investigating the sewer, that it
would do its work well and that the
city was fully safeguarded by rea
son of the the heavy tuaintaiuancc
bond exacted. Therefore, he favor
ed acceptance, and stood by it. 1
Iu the light of a hard winter's scr
vice of the sewer without n com
plaint, who shall say that he erred
in judgment? In all matters rclat
lug to city government lie ever
tried to give all a fair and square
deal. He is a firm believer in prog
rcss ami advancement, ami ever
stood ready to lend his aid aud as
sistancc in promoting any project
that had iu view the welfare aud
advancement of the city. Mr. Muck
is n candidate for mayor, aud if
elected promises good government
and a square deal to all, aud will
be uutrammclcd with any promises
of special favors.
I'. W. Valentine has ever striven
to do his full duty as a councilman,
snowing tavoritism toward none
and treating all with the same con
sideration. Intensely interested iu
St. Johns aud its welfare, he has
used his utmost endeavors in its ad
vancement. On every question
arising concerning municipal affairs
Mr. Valentine was to be found vot
ing on the right side. His genial
disposition has made him one of the
most nonular and widelv known of
our officials aud citizens. He is a
nominee for councilman of the first
ward.
D. Frank Ilorsuiau is perfectly
satisfied with the record he has
mndc ns alderman. He has ever
tried to do his duty as he saw it,
nutl has no apologies to make. He
lias exercised c ire aud considera
tion when casting his vote on any
measure, and his rccoid speaks for
itself. lie is a candidate to succeed
himself, and promises to act In the
future as iu the past if elected.
Chns. ISrcdcson has made a
straightforward alderman. He be
lieved iu hewing straight to the line,
let the chips fall wherever they
may. He believed rigorously in
showing pntiality to none, aud at
all times had the courage of his
convictions. No one was ever left
long iu doubt as to how Charley
stood upon any proposition. He is
a candidate lor mayor aud promises
to enforce all ordinances so long as
they are 011 the statute books if
elected.
G. L. Perrine, the Socialist mem
ber of council, has made things
lively in the council chamber. Lov
ing ugitutiou like a cat does milk,
he lost no opportunity in creating
it. Hut his sole purpose iu so do
ing was that good might come of it.
A stickler for contractors living
right up to the wording of specifi
cations he proceeded to make trou
ble if they failed to do so. Never
for a minute did he permit his co
workers to forget that he was a So
cialist with Socialistic ideas. He
has reason to feel satisfied with the
record he has made. Mr. Perrine
is a candidate for councilman at
large as a Socialist.
J. W. Davis, as chairman of the
street committee, found plenty of
work to do, aud he did it well. As
couucilmau his judgment was first
class aud he was a strong progres
sive iu the matter of street improve
ment. Mr. Davis has made a first
class alderman, and is a candidate
to succeed himself.
Last, but by no means least, is
Pascal Hill. We believe the city
hall records will uot disclose a bet
ter councilman than Pascal has
proven to be, Reasonable at all
times, if he found he had taken a
wrongful position on any matter he
was quick to realize and acknowl
edge it, but instances were very
rare when this became necessary.
His great hobby has been good
streets, and mauy of them. Unlike
most councilmen, he advocated
street improvement even though he
was hit harder than any other prop
erty owner in the cost of improve
ment. Possessed of sound judg
ment, plenty of good common sense
and an indomitable will, he was a
tower of strength to council and has
certainly made good. He is also a
candidate to succeed himself.
This is but a brief resume of the
of the officials aud some of the
things they accomplished, as we see
it. They have made mistakes, of
course. What council has not?
Yet we, who have sat up night af
ter night with them and carefully
uotea lueir ncwou. .uumuuauy
and collectively, pronounce their
work good and faithfully done.

Clean Up
Mayor K. C. Couch, having
promptly acquiesced iu the request
made by the Commercial club aud
Ladies' Auxiliary to issue a procla
mution for a general clean-up day,
the exact date, as per Mayor's
Proclamation in this issue, being
Saturday, April 13th, and the city
council also acting iu hearty ac
cord iu the matter of providing n
place to put the garbage aud refuse
is a sure guarantee that St. Johns
will before long get rid of the ac
cumulations of debris, tin cans,
rubbish aud the like, wliicli are
uot only unsightly but a positive
aud constant menace to health
1 here should be no hesitation on
the part of any one to aid iu bring
ing ubout this most desirable result.
The first great consideration should
be a hcalthv city: aud upon these
two sure aud essential foundations
of health and wealth, there is ab
solutcly certain to follow assured
and permanent prosperity. So that
the triple combination is health,
wealth aud prosperity. Surely that
should appeal to all of us, and there
can be no doubt that it docs. Now
let everybody get busy and each
get ready to do their part to bring
it about. It is n proposition in
which we nrc nil interested, nud
therefore we should take a personal
pride in it.
I here is no surer method of be
ing infested with mosqiiitos than
tin cans iu which some water has
accumulated even though it be
little, aud the mosquito is the most
dangerous distributor of deadly
germs aud poison known to the
scientific world. Let us, therefore,
in due time remove the cause, not
wait nud then vainly try to remedy
it nud the effect. Aside from this,
the city's appearance will be
benefited. You will be better
pleased with yourself, surroundings
aud those of your neighbors after
the city has been given a genuine
spring clean-up. The visitor will
take notice and he will get n good
impression and be more likely to
want to live in our community.
Remember there will be a number
of visitors here during the summer,
especially in July, and we want
them to become favorably im
pressed with the present aud future
of St. Johns. They will take the
present as a criterion for the future.
But why attempt to argue further
on what is clearly a self-evident
proposition f There is only one
side to this whole question,
aud
that is to clean up, ci.it an

St. Johns Beware
Councilman Ralph C. Clyde yes
terday afternoon filed in the office
of the city auditor an ordinance
I lie measure prohibits the in
itiating of hard surface improve
ments that may result in the con
fiscation of property assessed for
the pavements. There is a ques
tion as to the legality of the pro
posed ordinance, but Councilman
Clyde declares he will submit the
measure to a vote of the people if
the law-making body falls to pass
it. - - - "If the council does not
wish to assume the responsibility
of passing this ordiuance, eveu tho'
admitting it may be legal." said
Clyde. "I will make an effort to
have it placed upon the ballot so
that the people may have their say
on the same. In St. Johns only 50
percent, of the assessed value of the
property is allowed on street im
provements. An effort was made
to chauge this, but the people voted
against it. If the people of St.
Johns are to become a part and par
cel of Portland, the paving com
bines will sure have some juicy
pickings out of St. Johns, as their
restriction clause will no longer ap
ply. They have my sympathy.

interest manifested in the show, not
only by breedcrsof the entire North

Portland last week was the most
successful event of the kind ever
held on the Pacific coast. Weath
er conditions were Ideal aud the
attendance was estimated to exceed
6000 people during the three days.
The quality of the stock was so
far superior to that of last year
that oflicials nud stockmen were
positive that the grand champions
of former shows would not have
been eligible even for the smallest
prizes tliis year. The champion
carload consisting of fifteen head of
magnificent Herefords, was proba
blv never surpassed, if cmialled. at
at any show fu the United States.
This car load was sold at auction,
bringing $10. 10 per 100 pounds, al
most $1 per too more than was
paid for the champion last year.
The grand champion steer, also a
Iereford, entered by the Unlver
sity of Idaho, was a beautiful two-year-old
of almost faultless propor
tions, and was sold for i.2oper
pound, ou foot, a price which has
been exceeded but once in the
United States for a single meat an-
Dial. The second prize steer sold
for 50 cents per pound.
A prominent feature of the show
was a splendid exhibit of hogs from
from Central aud Eastern Oregon,
alfalfa-fed aud wheat-finished in
every instance, equalling in size aud

for hogs averaged nearly 8 cent per
