Jack Johnson has boon sen
tenced to one year in the peni
tentiary. It should have been
for Hfo.
T
The St. Johns school board is
to be congratulated upon the en
terprise and public spiritedness
displayed in securing more play
ground for the pupils at the Cen
tral school. It was an aupsicious
time to make the purchase of
another block of ground, and it
was wisdom to acquire it. Now
if the public would manifest the
same interest in securing a pub
lie park or playground, it wouh
bo another act of wisdom. We
understand that the school boan
will lit Die new addition up in
first class stylo for utlilctie pur
poses and recreation as woll.
The width of Willamette boul
evard will bu definitely decided
by the Supremo Court, Whether
it is decided to bo 100 or 80 feet
wide, the probabilities are that
the city of St. Johns will novel
use over 80 feet of it for street
purposes. If it is made 100 feet
wide it is extremely likely that
the property owners may lie per
mittod to enjoy the use of 20 foe
of it for many years to come ami
yet do relieved oi taxation on
that much ground. Eighty fee
is fully as much as can bu im
proved and utilized. The Su
promo Court decision will only
decide what width the city can
claim for street purposes.
Working, it is said, behind a
cunningly laid scheme of deceit
Ktistorn disutility insurance com
panius are attempting to invoke
tho referendum on the Wot
men's Compensation Measure
passed by the last Legislature
This measure was passed in the
interests of the working men o
Oregon and for tho betterment
of their condition in case of per
sonul injury while engaged in
their daily occupation, Under
its operation the casualty insur
unco company and the ambulance
chasing lawyor are put out of
husinosM, therefore the howl mu
the attempt to invoke tho refer
enduiii on tho bill,
1
A matter that the Commercia
Club should push with vigor is a
roadway encircling the lower
puuitwula. Nothing prettier in
a actinic highway could bo imag
mod limn would Do a hard sui
faced thorough fare connecting
Willamette boulevard with tho
blougli road via the lower peniu
sum. Poets have raved over less
attractive beauty spoU.And its
accomplishment is ontiroiv fens
iblo. The right of way has boon
secured, and it is up to the coun
ty to construct the highway
Hut unless the matter is insist
diitly urged it will be given lit
tlo heed. An activo committoo
should be appointed to take tho
projact in hand, and push it
through. It is woll worth the
trouble, and would be something
that tho city would over point to
wmi pride. The matter slioult
not bo further delayed.
a lease oi at least a generous
portion ot the c ty dock has II
nally boon ell'ected, and at a good
rental, partly though the ell'orts
of Mayor Hrodoson, Tho sum of
vdW per month is equivalent to

storage purposes will not fill'ord
umployniont for many hands, yet
It lift quite a bunion from the
taxpayers. In conversation with
tho roprosontatives.thoy inform
ed us of tho possibility of tho

tiou of its plant to St. Johns
later on, belioving thoy could do
o to advantage. Tho dock has
boon somowhat of a white olo
nhant for several years and the
butt of considerable ridicule,
but it will undoubtedly prove its
worth and tho wisdom of the
city in acquiring it boforo many
more years. Tho land alono is
worth double what it cost. But
it is imperative that sidetracks
bo connected with it. Tho Paper
Co. roprosontatives assort that
the dock would have boon leased
long ago at an advantageous fig
uro had it been equipped with
an outlet to. the railroad, and
thoy would have boon wiling to
givonmuch lunror sum for its I
use. Tho matter of sidetracks I
, should bo takon up oilhor by the'
city council or Commercial club i
and a feasible mannor of con-'
necting rail facilities thoreto
worked out. Thon a special
election should bo called for vot
ing upon bonding tho city for
construction of same. As it now
stands, tho dock is somowhat
similar to a house with only a
front door to it.
