Subscription prlco $1,00 per year. f - . .X This week witnessed almost an ontirc change in municipal gvommonl. The old oIHciala took a back scat and the now ones wore placed in the harness. There is little to condemn in the work of the old council find much to commend. It was not that they had made a failure of the duty entrusted in their hands that they were displaced, but because of a spirit of unrest among the people. Things wore going along too smoothly and too monotonously, and a change waB dusirod apparently that the mo notony be uroken, anil also a de sire to see what a now council manic body can do. Tho new council looks good. Thoy are all good citizens, earn ust and show a disposition to re alize and appreciate the heavy rosnonsibi tv t need unon the shoulders. There is much to hope for and little to fear from tho body now representing tho citizens of St. Johns. In missing from the old to the now, we would say a few words concerning tho new Mayor. Wc havo known Charles Hredcson moro or less intimately during tho past seven years, and we can attest to ins sterling qualities There is an utter absence ol tie coption and hypocrisy in his makeup that is truly refreshing Fear nor favor will never stunt in the way of Mr. Hredcson per forming his duty as he sees it. One cannot help but like tin man, and those who have known him the longest like him the best. Ho came to St. Johns when was young in growth ami oxnor iouco, and he realizes as well as any one its further needs and re quircmoiils. He believes in be ing open and aboveboard in al public matters, ami there .will be no star cliainiier sessions witl his consent during his rogim Wo havo faith to believe that Charles Hredeson would novel have sought the high olncc to which he has attained did he not fool within himself that he woulti mako good, that bo would couv mand the respect and the ulti mate confidence of all, and hit administration j-eflecl credit up on the city and himself as well. With his many manly attributes to assist him, there is good rea son to believe that he will make good in every sense of the term, arid that city alVaiiu under his guiding hand will be taken care of in a manner never oxcelled. Honoit, courageous. u true friend and a public spirited man, we predict that lie and the adminis tration over which he presides will redound to the honor and bottormont of the city of St. Johns. Tho now city attorimv 0. J. GatKinyor, is a rising ami popu lar young attorney with a ftituri full of promise. He has dwelt tiuiully among us for the past row years, pursuing his choson vocation and establishing him- sou in the rospect and confldonce of our citixens. He is ambitious, onorgotit', thorough, it perfect goutleman nt all times, and has acquired a fluent knowledge of law. Tlmt lie will guide the city aright in a legal way past the shoals ami obntHcle that occa sionally besot u nuiniripnlity all nro willing to concede. Wo ahull not nt this time nt tompt to enumerate the good qtmlUlos of Ute new couueilnion. but sulllce to say that in each ami every instance they are men to bo dopendod uihid and relied upon to do their duty to the tit torniOJt It is safe to sav that all will receive a square (leal nt taoir hands, and that every pub lic matter will receive the fullest and most careful consideration hofore notion is taken thoreon. With tho "ship of state" still in good and safe hands, it is up to us as citizens of St. Johns to uaalst in every way possible in making the new administration tho success we believe it is des-, tin ad to be. He slow to condemn ; bo brand enough to view both fiidos of n controversy boforo criticising; .exercise jmtionco, and do not expect too much: and. above all. bo fair, lonsit orat ami holpful, und the new admin istration wil! do the rest. t a rank AmovNT till '' r ' - t Wo tho wninon ol ronnoot I'nllv sollolt tllO llOOUUlltH of it" r lil ii tm in ii ii 1 1 )' vita I titmltninl linn mil tlmtiirht )' mittliiir ntonov In ll'io hnnle for .vol, tintl irlvliiir von ii hnnle hoole, u rigo lilm to (o.HO today.

IntoroHtoii unylnfrs First National Bank, St. Johns, Oregon SCHOOL NOTES Happenings Told In An Interesting Way Last Thursday morning a very onthiiBiHtic booster meeting was held. Mr. Hoyd, the faculty and different members of the stud ent body expressed themselves in regard to the importance of the coming contests in debate and track. The debate of Saturday even ing was well attended and no small part of the audience was made up of St. Johns people. The debate proved interesting from the opening to the closing speech. Although wo wore de feated in tins semi-final debate, we may justly fool proud of what we havo done in this first year's attempt at debate. Last baturday afternoon J. J. II. S. wiih represented at Colum bia's annual open indoor meet by Smith. Thurmond and Magone. Thurmond ami Magone had a lit tle hard luck. Thurmond was running a good race when he was thrown by a couple of runners who stumbled in front of him. Magone sprained his knee in the pole vault, thus being put out of further competition. bmith. however, won second In the In-ond jump, coming within two inches of first place, thus making three points for 111111103 John. l'liis made moro points than all the Portland high schools taken together wore capable of in tho open ovonls. .1. J. II. will not atteinnt to have a baso ball team this year. but will devote all their time to track and field athletics.
