The following is taken from
tho Daily Gazette of Burlington.
Iowa, and handed, to us for pub-
lication:
All the unmarried women in
Burlington are to be given a
chance to exchange their lonely
state to a condition of unalloyed
joy: that is, if married life con
tains such a degree of hap
piness. Mayor f rank Norton
this morning received a letter
from an Oregon rancher in which
it was stated that the writer has
seen several "ads." from young
women of this city wishing to
engage in a correspondence with
matrimony the final outcome.
He asks the mayor to help him
out in his hour of need and assist
him in starting n correspondence
with some nice young lady with
matrimony as the object.
Ever willing to do nil in his
power to help the needy, whether
the need bo food or a. wife, tho
mayor decided to do ail in his
power to aid tho young rancher
when it was called to his atten
tion that there wore several of
the men in the city hall who evi
dently need assistance in launch
ing their craft on the sea of
matrimony and that it might be
a good idea if he would help them
out before giving any outside
assistance. There is some jus
tice to this request, too, so Mr.
Norton turned the letter over to
the Gazette and hopes that
through its columns some young
woman will he enabled to find
her life's partner.
Tho letter was written on line
stationery and was penned with
one of the neatest and most
careful hands that is ever seen.
That the writer is a man of good
education and habits is indicated
by the writing and the neatness
of tho epistle. The letter fol

St. Johns Now lias Such
An Institution
St. Johns has now what it has
needed for a number of years,
and which at various times
efforts were made to establish,
and that is a general hospital or
sanitarium. It .is beautifully
located on the corner of Chicago
street and Smith avenue, in the
large residence built by E. C.
Hurlbert and now owned by
Calef Bros, of Portland. E. U.
Sully has taken a long lease of
the building and converted it in
to a hospital with Mrs. E. R.
Sully, who has had a long and
most successful experience as
hospital nurse.ua superintendent.
Dr. C. O. Boyer. formerly dean
of the medical department of
Wi amettc university, is in
churge, with office hours daily
from 10 to 12 a. m. Tho title of
the new institution is the St.
Johns Sanitarium. It is equip
ped throughout with brand new
furniture and fixtures, and pre
sents a most attractive appear
ance. An abundance of light is
found in every room, and every
convenience needed for caring
for patients is at hand. There
arc ample and pleasant accom
modations for twelve patients at
one time. The operating room
is snlendidlv eaulnncd with one
of the latest and most expensive
operating chairs, is pleasantly
situated on the north side of the
buildimr. und contains ull the
appliances that go with a first
class operating room, rue ward
and bed rooms nrc handsomely
, -i .i i ,, i r i
lurnisneu, anu uu ruics ior uumi
tntion and cleanliness are strictly
observed. A lurgo und well
equipped kitchen and pretty din
ing room are situated in me
basement, which has a susbtan
tial cement floor, and tho build
in tr throughout is kept at the
right temperature by n fine heat
ing 8yst"m. Although tho form
al opening was not intended be
fore November first, yet a num
ber of cases have already been
taken caro of, and there arc now
five or six cases at tho institu
tion. "No deaths at the St.
JoluiB Sanitarium" is a slogan
that every effort will bo put for
ward to live up to. Mr. Sully
has spent a largo sum of money
in fitting up tho institution, and
ho expects to spend much more
before he gets everything in
exactly the shape he had plan
ned. Mr. Unlet has also given
assurance that it the demand
justifies so doing, tho building
will be materially enlarged.
It is gratifying to know that
St. Johns now has a hospital
which can take caro of emer
gency cases and others, without
making necessary the long trip
to Portland. And it is situated
in a quiet neighborhood not far
from tho business section with
good roadways leading to it.
Who May Vote Tuesday
Those who can vote at the
special referendum election of
November 4th aro as follows:
Men and women who have reg
istered under the new permanent
registration law: men who have
not registered under this law but
who did vote at the last general
ejection, when Woodrow Wilson
was chosen president; men or
women who have not registered
under the new law but who will
sign "Blank-A" at the polls and
be sworn in by the clerk of
election. Six freeholders must
act as witnesses in such event.
This will be the first election
at which women will have op
portunity to voto upon state
measures. The registration of
women is not great. So little
campaign has been made in con
nection with any of the five
measures under consideration
that thousands of women failed
to register.
The suffrage leaders, like Mrs.
Abigail Scott Duniway of Port
land, the club women of practi
cally all Oregon towns, and
mothers of children generally
have all been urging upon their
voting sisters to stand behind
the University of Oregon bills
as a means of demonstrating
women's desire for that improve
ment in social and general living
conditions that follows advance
ment of general education in a
state.
Work (or k Qr&Ur SU Jofeai.
The editor of the State Wide
Democrat, a ncw paper recently
started in Seattle, is a woman.
In a late issue of the Democrat
appeared an article from her pen
which ought to bo of interest to
every woman in the land. We
reproduce it with the 'hope that
it may at least set some ot our
women to thinking:
Waken up, wise women of the
state of Washington! Waken
up! The chance of centuries is
in your hands, improve thoi
golden opportunity ere it is lost.
If you fail, other women will act
and the glory will not be yours, i
Think of it, free women of
washingioni MBteau ot ueing
leaders in , sensible styles, you
are blind followers of unknown
men and women in corrupt Paris
who tell you the kind of dresses
and hats and shoes you must
wear; and, like slaves, you do us
you arc told.
You properly refuse at the
marriage altar to promise to obey
the man you huvc chosen for your
husband, but with inconsistency
you do worse infinitely worse
you obey somo unknown man
in Puris who tells you what you
must wear.
Is the theory of evolution truo7
Is it because women are descend
ed from monkeys that they must
wear horrid and expensive hats;
senseless high heeled or low
heeled shoes, and giddy, gaudy
garments? What is the unswer7
Simply this: Because it is the
fashion: because somo unknown
queen or king of fashion lias
issued the edict and we, like
sycophants, like slaves, must
follow. Wo muBt obey the in
sane decree. Hats, for which
the material actually co3ts less
than five dollars at wholesale, arc
sold to us for forty-five dollars;
wo diBlike tho slavery; wo pro
test, but wc oboy.
Tho Democrat realizes how
much women disliko to look
freakish how thoy long to bo
fashionable. Is there in our sex
a weakness, a lack of moral fiber
which makes us go to extremes
in our desire to conform to
fashion and to do as others do?
Are we like tho boys of tender
years who want to smoke und
drink and swear becuuso some
men do so? Aro wo better than
the boys than children, if you
please when wc bedeck our
selves in fashionablo and some
times scandalous attire simply
because others do? Is it becauso
wo want to attract, to bo admired
by somo brainless fops somo
worthless whelps, somo parasites
who call themselves men but aro
not?
Tho trouble in the past has
been thnt women, like boys,
have not been forced to grapple
with big questions with the
vast problems of humun life.
Men alone have tried to solve
theso difficulties. Tho active
feminine mind has therefore
drifted into society und fashion
to rellovo it from tho ennui tho
Baiety the slow passing of the
impracticable hours of existence.
But women, listen: Times have
changed. Our sex is now in
business. Wo frequently lead
in politics. Great reforms are
pressing for solution on tho cul
tured feminine mind. Men sec
retly und justly ridicule our sub
serviency to fashion. Some,
even in this state, have
remarked:
"Tho way women, like oxen.
bow their necks to the ignomin
ious yoke of fashion in sinful
Puris, and pour out their hus
band's earnings in willing tri
bute to the false French god,
demonstrates their ability to
grapple with the great problems
of life."
Sisters, this masculine arraign
ment of our sex would not hurt
if it were not largely true. Let
us, instead of snapping back,
instead of sulking, take tho harsh
criticism in a kindly spirit and
free ourselves from the domina
tion of pagan Paris. Let the
women of Seattle lead in what
will be the greatest economic
revolution of modern times.
The women of this city aro cap
able of being the leaders of Bane
and sensible fashions which will
be followed by sane and sensible
women all over the world.
Let women and by that word
I mean women, not toadies
sveonhants not feminine mon
keys-but women with all the
trrandeur that word implies
take tho lead women with well
balanced minds women of ar
tistic tastes women of original
ity women of economic and
women of sound sense women
who are conscious of a sense of
responsibility for the welfare of
Matters of Importance
Receive Attention
All members were present at
the regular meeting of the city
council Tuesday evening, with
Mayor Bredeson presiding.
A petition signed by a number
of jiroperty owners protested
against removal of an arc light
on the corner of Pork and Seneca
streets. The councilmen de
clared that no such move had
even been contemplated. Be
cuuso the light was ueing repair
ed by the company, the property
owners evidently took alarm,
believing it to be a move on the
part of the city dads to remove
the light elsewhere.
A petition signed by a goodly
number of voters asked that the
Vennum tract on Willamette
boulevard with 20 feet facing on
Richmond street and containing
about three acres at $9,000 be
placed on the ballot at the park
election. Petition ordered filed.
A petition for an arc light at
the corner of Trumbull and Kel
logg streets was referred to tho
water and light committee.
Tho Crown Pulp Paper Com
pany, lessees of the city dock,
asked for permission to install a
device for raising and lowering
the slip, which was granted.
A communication from the
Commercial club sought permis
sion to use a portion of thecity's
decorations at the Interstate
Bridge parade and banquet Sat
urday: granted.
M. L. Holbrook asked the as
sistance of the city authorities
in clearing the titlo to land on
Swift street and McCrum ave.,
which' was formerly laid out as
a cemetery. Matter referred to
the city attorney.
D. C. Lewis of the park com
mittee submitted a lengthy com
munication in which ho urged
prompt action and "parliamen
tary consideration" of the com
mittee's report; accepted and or
dered filed.
A communication from lite
Fire Commission and a commit
t(o from tho fire department ask
ed that a combination chemical
and motor hoso truck bo provid
ed for the department. Upon
motion of Alderman Vincent the
Fire Commission was directed to
make a thorough investigation
of tho practical working of alike
machine in other cities and re
port back to Council, after which
bids would be solicited.
An ordinance assessing the
cost of improving Fox street be
tween Charleston and Uswogo
was passed.
An ordinance granting tho (J.
W. It. and N. Company a fran
chise to lay a sidetrack on the
north line ol Bradford street
between Alta and Philadelphia
streets was read and held over
for one week in order to secure
a pledge from the company that
said sidetrack would be utilized
for public purposes as well as
private, upon recommendation of
their sex. Let them organize at
first into a club. After thoy
have organized, they should
weed out those who simply go
into the organization for tho sake
of getting their names in print
or for somo little passing powor,
and especially wood out tho super
critical and the dominating, and
utlimately form a corporation
for carrying theso purposes
into effect.
Anv legislation necessary to
promote such a laudable and
praiseworthy undertaking, es
pecially if it promises to savo
the huge milliner and dressmak
ers' bills, will be gladly support
ed by all sensible men all over
the country. It is true, this
great reform may be opposed by
some dandy dudes and flippant
fools in the masculine sex, but
such things in male attire are
despised by sensible women
everywhere.
Our shrewd dry goods mon
will at once grasp the idea. It
will mean an enormous increase
in their business and a tremen
dous advantage and advertise
ment to them. They can be re
lied upon to support the move
ment if the right women have
charge of it.
Finally, sisters, this question
has its moral side its sad side.
Thousands of girls have been
ruined in a vain attempt to keep
up the impossible pace set by
the idiotic fashions of today.
Let us hear from women's clubs
and ladies' leagues, and from
individuals.
Hammed in n collision with the
towboat Shaver, the steamer
LaCcntur was nearly cut in two
amidships at 12 o'clock last Fri
day night in the Willamette river
ofr St. Johns. As she as going
down two passengers and the
five members of tho crow of the
LaContcr scurried onto tho bow
of the Shaver. Several of the
men lost their hats and shoes,
as they were lying down when
tho craft crashed together.
After disengaging herself the
Shaver quicky made fast to the
sinking vessel and towed her
ashore near the plant of the St.
Johns Shipbuilding Company,
where she will bo hauled out for
repairs. When beached she was
half full of water. Her damage
is just ahead of the engine room,
the sharp prow of the Shaver
cutting into the hull for a dis
tance of four or five feet.
Confusion of signals is assign
ed as the cause of the accident.
In command of Captain Berry,
the Shaver as bound down the
river from Portland. The La
Center, Captain Peter Moo, was
en route up stream from Wood
land, Wash., located on the
Lewis river. Coming in the
same direction, but more over
to the St. Johns side, was the
little steamer Alarm. The Sha
ver, it is reported, gave the La
Center one whistle that she would
pass to the starboard, and it
was answered by the latter. A
few momenta afterward tho
Shaver gave two whistles to the
Alarm, which had a log raft in
tow. Following theso blasts, it
is claimed, the pilot of LaCcntor
apparently became confused,
and she started to cross tho bow
of the Shaver, when the collision
occurred. Tho Shaver lost her
jackstall. Telegram.
Mayor Bredeson.
A resolution changing the
grade of Willamette boulevard
between Burlington street and
SL Johns iivonuo was adopted.
The city engineer reported that
an excess of about $10 would
exist on tho proposed improve
ment of Ilartman street. T. F.
Lovens, one of tho largest proper
ty owners, stated that there was
a strong remonstanco against
improvement of a portion of tho
street. Further action was de
layed for two weeks.
The subject of parks was then
discussed. Mayor Bredeson in
sisted that tho council should
either adopt or reject tho park
committee's report, ami Alder
man Vincent made tho motion
that tho report be rejected, which
was unanimously carried on a
roll call voto. Alderman Martin
suggested that an election bo
hold with a proforontial ballot
upon which to bo listed at louHt
eight tracts, tho voturs to make
thoir choice, each ono voting for
not more than three or four
tracts, as tho council should
doom advisable. Also on tho
samo ballot authorizing a bond
issue in sufficient amount to
cover cost if tho highest priced
tracts should be selected. Tho
plan met with general approval,
and the probabilities are that
aftor a few details have boon
worked out that such a ballot
will bo prepared.

A Plucky Youngster
Little Clifford Koch is certain
ly endowed with an unlimited
amount of pluck, even if his
veracity might lapse a little at
times when he thinks such lapse
would prove more expedient
than tho truth might do. Ho
was on his way home from school
Wednesday afternoon of last
week with his oldor brother,
Frederick, and a companion,
Bortio Gold. Clifford, who is
only eight years of age, and
livos with his parents at tho
cornor of Polk streot and Swift
boulevard, was attending tho
East St. Johns school. Tho road
botweon tho school and his homo
is skirted with brush und trees.

that game. An effort is being
made to secure a Thanksgiving
game somewhere out of the city.
Hufford and Everett Smith
were out of Saturday's game.
These two were sadly mished, but
Bellinger and Lundstrom proved
worthy substitutes. The team
will bo intact for Saturday's
game, but one or two of the
regulars will need to hustle to
hold their places. Coach White
emphatically disapproves of last
Saturday's gamo with the so
called Jefferson High School mid
gets. There is no objection on
the part of tho Coach to tho
score 27-0. Mr. White realizes
as well as any ono that St. Johns
was outweighed and outplayed
by heavier and more experienced
players. But our Coacli consid
ers the great American college
game is above the cursing and
slugging tactics employed by this
hunch of unchapcroned High
School students. In the future
no game will be played with any
team unless a member of tho
faculty accompanies it. Neither
will we attempt a gamo again
without some competent oflicinlH.
Plans aro afoot for tho organ

connection with the work, we
hope for unusual interosl on the
part of the students. A mooting

companions screamed for help,
and in a short time he was pick
ed up and hurried to the St.
Johns Sanitarium, and Dr. Jayne
took chargo of tho case. It was
discovered that the ends of three
fingers on one of his hands had
bcon shot away and tho flesh of
his hand badly lacerated, besides
a slight wound on tho abdomen
and also on the thigh. His
wounds were dressed ami Clifford
underwent tho pain witli scarce

to tho tale that the lads had first
told: That tho boy was shot bj
somo ono in tho woods, evident
ly shooting at phoasants, and
that thoy wore vory sure that
they had seen "a tall, thin man
dressed in a gray suit" hunting
phoasants just provious to the
report. Dr. Jayne, howovor, was
suspicious, from tho nature of the
wound, and the lads were closely
questioned. Thoy stuck to the
tale for a long while, but finally
gave the thing away. Tho facts
were that Clifford hud gotten
hold of a dynamite cap, and he
was in tho act of digging out the
contents of the cap for tho pur
pose of making a whistlo of it
when it exploded, with the re
sult stated above. The lad is
getting along in fine style, and
will soon bo good as ovor when
his fingers grow on again. But
ho will have much more respect
for a dynamite cap m the years
to come.
