NO. 40 COUNCIL MEETS Matters of Importance Receive Attention All members were present at the rcRulur nicotinic of the city council Tuesday evening with tho exception of Aldermen Wal dref und Wilcox. A petition for nn arc light ut the corner of East Richmond and Seneca streets was referred to the water and light committee. County Assessor Heed directed the attention of the council to tho fact that under the provis ions of a recent law tho tax levy for the city of St. Johns, along with other districts, must be in the hands of tho Assessor not later than December 1st of each year, and for greater conven ience to his office, requested that same be placed in his hands by November 1st, if possible. A claim of $50 as retaining fee of the defense on tho Wil lamette boulevard case now pending in the Supreme Court was presented by Attorney H. E. Collier and ordered piiid by tho council. The Portland Woolen Mills Co. asked that necessary repairs be made on Crawford street north of Pittsburg street, claiming that tho same was almost impas sible during rainy weather. Matter was referred to the city engineer for recommendation. Chief of Police Allen recom mended that tho system of red light police calls bo made more Senornl throughout the city and oxes for such calls bo installed ut various places in the city. Referred to the health and police committee. Tho city engineer reported that tho rock now being taken 'from tho Whitwood quarry by the lessees was all from tho land owned by tho: city. Tho'city 'at torney, who had been directed to investigate tho status of the c'ty's interest in reference to quarry mntterB, asked for and was granted further time in which to make a more thorough investigation of conditions. An ordinanca regulating the liquor trafllc with reference to carrying samo into places of amusement, cigar stores, etc., passed first reading. A remonstrance of about 05 per cent of the property inter ested in tho improvement of East Polk street oetween Fes senden street and St. Johns Heights Addition was unani mously rejected, Considerable time of the council has been taken up each session for some time past in listening to objec tions to the improvement of this street. Alderman Vincent stat ed that in spite of the large re monstrance ho had been given to understand that only five property owners objecting really reside on tho street, and in ab sence of proof to tho contrary, ho favored pushing the improve ment through. Alderman Gar lick believed that the improve ment was highly important ow ing to the fact that several ponds of stagnant water were created in the street every year during tho rainy season, and improve ment seemed to bo tho only method to effect n permanent cure. Alderman Wright favor ed improvement becauso the street was rather thickly popu lated and that more people get off the cars at that street than any other outside the Jersay street stop, and in winter time they were compelled to travel through the mud and slush al ' most to their shoe tons in effect ing the journey to their homes. Aldermen Martin and Munson also believed the improvement vitallv necessary. An ordinance providing the time and manner 01 lis improvement, uy aiue walk and grade was unanimous ly passed. A resolution for the improve ment of Central avenue between Buchanan and John streets by sidewalk and grade was unanU mouslv adonted. as was also a resolution providing for the hard surface improvement of Craw ford street between Burlington and Pittsburg streets. The city recorder was granted a ten days' vacation. It was decided that the Port land Railway, Light and Power Co. be notified to cut down the weeds on its right of way on Fpssnnden street. Rills amounting to $540.28. the greater portion of which was for WeCU CUUinK HHU aucci, nuin, were allowed and ordered paid.

WHAT IS NEW In the World of Fashion able Dress Perhaps the prevailing fond ness for the one piece dress enn best be explained by its general becomlngness and the youthful ncss it imparts to tho wearer. Be that ns it may, however, you see these appealing.simple frocks everywhere worn by smart wo men who are known to have re fined taste in dressing. It stands to reason that during the hot and sultry days of sum mer this modoof dress is practi cal in the extreme, ns nothing is better calculated to give com fort and good service. Natural ly a great deal denonds upon the material employed, ns many nn attractive design is spoiled be yond recognition through an in judicious choice of fabrics. But selecting materials nowadays is a task of pleasuro amid the pro fusion of tho lovely stuffs shown at the shops; not a bit high pric ed, cither. Really indispensable is the casy-to-slin-in dress, during your vacation in tho country. You can don it in the morning for your walk, and bo in perfect trim for lunch hour, without having to spend those precious moments "dressing over." The first model, 7820, live sizes, 34 to 42, you can mnko effectively in tiny check voile or albatross, with whito ratino for" tho trim mimr sections, etc. Tho other, 7822, the pattern for which also comes in tlvo sizes, .51 to vi, is simply dear, in roso linen or nonlin with the tiniest pearl but- tops all the way down the front closing, alio dmerent shades ot roso color, you know, aro very strongly favored, but if ono's complexion is inclined to bo sal low, it should, of course, bo avoided.

Be of Good Cheer We cannot, of course, all be handsome, And it's html for us all to be irood: We are sure now and then to bo lonesome, And wo don't always do as we should. To be patient is not always easy, To bo cheerful is much harder still, But at least wo can always bo pleasant, If we make up our minds that we will. And it pays every time to be kindly. Although we feel worried and blue: If you smile at the world and look cheerful The world will soon smile back nt you. So try to brace up and look pleasant, No matter how low you are down: Good humor is always conta gious, But you banish your friends when you frown. Ex. Drowned Sunday Mrs. Jessie Turner, wife of II.
