A place lias been provided now for dumping of the garbage, the draymen have been relieved if license so that any party with 0 horse nnd wogon may be pressed into service, and there is no further reason for nou-euforcemcut of the cleansing ordinance. There is noth ing to do but get busy, lest the chief pay you something more than 11 social call. , We believe the people of St. Johns made no mistake when they elected Al Muck mayor. We have not the slightest doubt but thnt he will make good in the fullest sense. Affable, courteous nnd possessed of plenty of good solid sense, wc have every reason to believe that he will give every one a Miniire deal. In fact the entire new set of officials apparently give general satisfaction nnd the public feels that the gov eminent is safe in their hands. I). C. Lewis strikes the keynote in a communication this week. Read it and follow his advice. it now nppvars mat tnc nnnexn (ion case is not entirely dead. City Attorney (.Jrnnt of I'ortliiud, in in .sHicting the worn out body closely, nun niM tue instrument mat was presumed to send it into iiiocuoux desuetude, in a column nnd a half article in Sunday's Oregoiiian, (lis- closed the startling intelligence that lie had detected signs of life. Mr. urn 111 claims mat the supreme judges were erroneous in their opinions; that they misconstrued the law; misconstrued the intention of the fnimers of the law, nnd thnt the spirit of the law instead of the letter should have been heeded. Of course Mr. Grant pointed out this salient feature when the case was tried before the supreme court and when he was representing the city of I'ortliiud.

Henderson, "must be determined by the skill, dexterity and judgment with which its labor is applied, and by the rel ative number of men employed in useful lubor and those not so em ployed. I believe that the schools should educate in those things that pertain to 'I.iving'nnd to'ninkitiga Living.' Wc should educate away from lux ury and idleness to plain living and usefulness ns a means of happiness. The superintendent of schools should be a practical school man, and should have 110 business, pri vate school or literary relations to interfere with his work. I have been identified with pub lic education, in both high school and grammar work, for 20 years. My policy is is: Closer orgnniza tioii and closer supervision of school work. If nominated and elected to this office it shall be my study so to con duct affairs of the office as to unite the highest degree of economy to the tax payer with the greatest efficiency and energy 011 the part of the teachers and pupils. I shall devote alt of my time nnd energy to educational work. Words for ballot: "Kconomy, efficiency, energy, progress. Ire qiient visits to schools.

Hut it Is safe to conclude that all tlio iu flueuce nnd power that Portland can muster will lie brought to bear upon the supreme court to have it change iu opinion. And who can blame Portland? St. Johns is 11 ricli prize and well worth the pick iug. It is extremely doubtful if the cttsu will be reopened.

May the supreme juuges Maud ml. t Sound Advice company sent a representative to Hen helling to see about the contract and Mr. Selling refused to consider it because he was a member of the Oregon legislature. Another time I call to mind when the police tie partment of Portland had a large order for uniforms. Selling auuin relused to consider it, telling the party carrying the message that, ns long as he was 11 member of the legislature he would not think of taking the business, Hut the case that nppealed to me most ot all was one time when Gov ernor llensoii, deceased, personally went to Selling and Mated there were 300 suits of clothes needed for a state institution that it was nu emergency order ami there was no time to advertise ami the governor jcct had been thoroughly cauvashed, n.imvii rk'iiiiiK 111 miiiumi mc ciuill. m,c f0 ,)VV HIT TCSO lit Oil WOS III OI)t Company CASH or CREDIT ler winch delicious re- px ii r a freshnunts were smcd and all JI JOIinS rUni lUrC weni inline, naiimer ior olivine. made others happy.
