PUBLIC PARKS
Selections Made in Each
Ward by Citizens
Amass mooting of the citizens
of the First Ward was held 111
the city hall last Suturday eve
ning for the purpose of selecting
nark sites suitable to tho voters.
D. 0. Lewis was niado chairman
of the meeting. He made a pre
liminary address in which he
told of the selections made by
the park committee, and why
they . made them, and he ad
vocated the purchase of four
tracts for park purposes. A
standing vote was then taken to
decide whether or not the voters
assembled were in favor of the
city purchasing parks, and the
vote was practically unanimous
in the aflinmitive. Mrs. Surrier
uaid she favored the purchase of
play grounds for the children,
but believed they should he as
centrally located as possible.
S. 0. Cook said he believed it a
good idea to defer park purchase
for a while, six months ut least,
and he expressed doubt of any
Girk bonds carrying at his time,
non motion that the park ques
tion bo deferred for six months,"
22 voted yes, and 2o no. Daniel
Brccht then Htated that lie was
convinced that two parks or
playgrounds in St. Johns would
bo sufficient. A. W.Davis stated
that the Jaegger tract on Daw
son street had been withdrawn,
.ami that therefore.it was useless
to consider it. A motion was
made that Catlin, Caples, Cook
and Stearns-Allen tracts be
recommended. Prof. C. II. Boyd
stated that while he had no ob
jection to the Stearns-Allen tracts
and believed it desirable proper
ty, yet he believed they should
not be included in the recom
mendation, since from his mingling-
with the peoplo in general
ho had discovered a strong senti
ment against it. Chairman
Lewis took issue with the Profes
sor, and contended that the four
tracts would strengthen rather
than weaken the proposed bond
issue. Ho said the movement to
consolidato tho.county of Multno
mah under ono government was
likely to meet with success in
the not distant future, and,
therefore, believed it a good
scheme to secure us many parks
as possible. A voto was taken
upon the motion, and it was lost.
A motion was then mado that
three tracts- Catlin, Cuples and
Cookbe recommended to tho
city council, and the motion car
ried. A suggestion made by one
of the citizens that the Catlin
tract bo pared down to tho origi
nal area contemplated, aroused
the ire of G. L. Porrino, who
stated that the citizens of the
Second Ward had mado their
selection, and he did not believe
it good taste nor good form to
tamper with their selection; that
the meeting was called solely for
the purpose of selecting parks in
tho First Ward, and that it
should bo confined to that only.
It was decided to hold a public
meeting of the entiro city soon
to consider how the park proposi
tion should be placed upon tho
ballot, there being a diversity of
opinion as to whether they should
be placed in unit form or each
tract separately. Dr. A. W.
Vincent and Chas. Anderson fav
ored separation, while S. C. Cook
and G. L. Perrino advocated the
un it plan.
It Costs Something
If all the car loads of material
used annually by the Southern
Pacific Company and it requires
15,000 cars to transport this
material annuallyfor the single
items of maintenance and opera
tion, were strung out ono after
the other, they would extend
over a distance of 10 miles. This
comparison gives a fair idea of
the great quantity of supplies
required every year by the com
pany for upkeep and to insure
the safe and steady movement
of trains. Were the cars ar
ranged in trains of 50 each, 300
trains would be required. None
of this material is used for new
construction. If that item were
included, the figures wpuld be
much larger. The lumber used
for upkeep by the company every
year amounts to thirty million
feet, so that it may be readily
seen that it costs something to
run. a railroad.
We Live Too Fast
Wc live too fast in America.
We have not enough holidays
not enough resting places "not
enough intermission in our work
day world. It were better if
oftener to hnvc laid aside its
tools- traffic and trade stopped,
now and then, to consider its
aim and end.
There must be an oasis in every
desert. The black Sierra has it
sunlit valleys. There are smil
ing nooks even among the. Cor
dilleras. Halting places there
are, great rocks and their I
shadows, even in the dreariest
land. He who builds up a shelter
for the storm beaten and foot
weary pilgrim over the road
traced by the "great caravan,"
Isa benefactor to his race and
his memory should be cherished
while holidays are observed.
Holiday timet Who would
care, to know why and whence
came tun custom, enough to
know that care per force must
smooth his wrinkled front, and
fun and frolic for the lime rule
tho hour. It were folly not to
enjoy the glimpses of sunshine
that come through the cloud
rifts, short lived and evanescent
though thoy be. They provp that
there is brightness beyond- that
no clouds are so dense but stray
beams may penetrate them.
Rosy faces, wreathed and
joyous, welcomo tho festive sea
son. With its monitions, its
reminders, its regrets, and. its
hopes, comes the happy holiday.
It is well that the ancient build
ers set up mite posts on the high
ways of time, else it were a dull
nndtiresomo road. They remind
us of the vanguard, the millions
thnt huvo gone before-the great
army that has gone out and on -
who shall say whither Listen-
ng we hear the tramp of the
mighty multitude echoing"down
the corridors of time: "wo think
of n thousand holidays gone and
mil loiiB of light hearts and
love-lit oyes gone, too. with them.
Dead nolldaysi'dcad hearts, dead
bones.
Oregon Good Corn State
That tho Northwest has
be-
come the rival oi tho "corn
states" has been demonstrated
by the first Corn Show held at
Pendleton, a week ago lust l1 ri-
day. The people of Umatilla
County had their urst view oi
real Oregon field corn. There
was corn of every description;
corn on tho cob, in rows and
piles; corn on stulks soma of
them measuring 12 feet high.
Thero was corn in bulk, yellow
corn, white corn, red corn and
several shades between. Prizes
given by tho 0. W. R. & N. Co.,
and others amounted to $1000.
Entr es from 200 individual ex
hibitors were represented. The
exhibit was judged by Professors
Scudder, Hyslop and French, of
tho Oregon Agricultural College,
after which tho entiro exhibit
was shipped to Portland and dis
played for a whole week by the
railroad. In Portland, thousands
were astonished to see tho corn
exhibited in the shock, on tho
ears, in tho sack, in tho silo and
ground into meal--this being tho
product of the state of Oregon,
where nil was spread out in con
vincing profusion. And now
Oregon comes into tho ranks
of corn growing states.

THE LIBRARY
Interesting-Notes for the
Library Patrons
Library hours:
Afternoon 12 to 5:30.
Evening 7 to 9.
Sunday--2:30 to 5:30 (or read
ing only.
Would you use the library be
tween the hours of five thirty
and seven in the evening? The
library is now closed for that
time, but it is desired to hold It
open through the supper hour, if
by so doing any number of pat
rons would be benefited. 41 you
arc one to whose convenience
the change of hours would work,
please speak of it at the librury
during tho coming week.
Children under twelve are re
quested not to come to tho library
after seven o'clock, unless ac
companied by their parents.
Special attention is given the
children in the afternoon, and it
IS
thought only fair to give up
tho room in the evening to adults
who wish to do quiet rouding
and studying.
Oregon law:
It evidently Is not generally
known that the Oregon laws can
bo secured through tho library.
Tho Oregon code is too expen
sive to be placed in each brunch
library, but it copy is kept at the
disposal of tho branches and can
be had on short notice.
Questions:
If you fail in finding a satis
factory answer to your question
on your first visit to tho librury,
leave tho question with your ad
dress and you will be notified by
telephono or card when tho tins
werls found. Donothesitato in
asking for any useful informa
tion. The only justification of
tho library is its service of tho
public, . . . .
Tho bulletin boiird to tho left
of tho entrance will bo devoted
to town notices. Look thero for
meetings and items of interest
to St. Johns citizens.

Stock Confessions of u Ten
derfoot. Tho tenderfoot of this narra
tivo landed at Maplo Creek in
1901 with a full Canadian outfit,
including a six shooter, comina
tion pocket knife and a youthful
idea of his own importance with
which ho had escaped fromtucity
office. He learned his first
lesson when he offered a tip
to a "pnrd" who gave him a
hand with his luggage, and his
education continues to tho end
of tho story, by which time he
has traveled over a largo part of
tho world, and settled down as
a pineapple farmer in Queens
land. Bennett-Tho Old Adam.
Tho story of a Five Towns'
man tho calmness of whoso wife
endangered tho audacity of his
youth. She took his successes
for granted and rofused to be
surprised at him. But tho Old
Adam revives. 4 Ho rebels against
being unspectacular and sets out
at forty-three to prove that ho
still has it in him to be a comet
instead of a provincial sky
rocket. Ho startles London
largely by tho aid of an Ameri
can, men he dashes on New
York, takes it by assault and
sums up his impressions in a
breath. So, having won applause
from the world, ho receives a
glance of loving astonishment
from his wife and returns to
domesticity, a weary conqueror,
no longer a captive.
Cather 0 Pioneers.
A brilliantly dramatic story of
the Scandinavian and Bohemian
pioneers of the Nebraska of
thirty years ago. It is evident
that tho author has lived with
the people of her story. With a
pen so reserved as to be almost
austero she sketches her charac
ters and they stand before us
startingly real. The story is on
the whole depressing many will
think unnecessarily so but to
those who have lived in the Mid
dle West, the book will seem well
worth while, if only for the
spirit of the prairie, their charm
and almost tragic, withal glor
ious, bigness with which the
book is permeated.

The Park Selections
The park or playground project
in St. Johns has finally simmered
down to something definite. The
citizens of tho Second Ward, in
mass meeting assembled, have
declared in favor1 of the Catlin
tract, nt a stipulated price of
$10,500, and, as wc understand
it, comprises two tracts lying
side by side, one tract being sub
mitted by J. F. Gillmore, agent,
for $3,000, and containing ubout
five-eighths of an acre; the other
owned by Mr. Ma'rkwart at $7,-
500, nnd containing about one
and one-(iuarter acres of irround.
The tracts are bounded by Edi
son, St. Johns avenue nnd Wil
lamette boulevard, although the
latter street along the cast side
of tho tructs, it is undersi.-.'l,
has not yet boon' dedicated its
full width to tho city. The citi
zens of tho First Ward last Sat
urday evening ratified the
choice of their Second Ward
brethren, and also recommended
that the Caples and what is
known as tho Cook tract be
secured for purk purposes. The
Caples tract is situated on Daw
son street, adjoining tho ice
plant, and excluding Stanford
street, which is said to be deeded
to the city through the tract,
contains a little less than three
acres; tho price asked is $10,000.
The Cook tract contains ubout
three acres and is situated on
Tyler street east of the trolley
line loop on FeBsenden street;
the price asked is $0,000. Thus,
unless a decrease in price can
subsequently be obtained, the
total bond issue that the people
will be given an opportunity to
vote upon will in all probability
be $20,500.
The tracts selected arc well lo
cated to serve tho different por
tions of the city, and it is ex
pected thnt a strong enmpaign
will bo lnunchcd for ncquirancc
of same if the city council deems
it ndvisablo to place them upon
the.-lwlIot. " lt iethe -general
opinion that tho timo of voting
on a park bond issue will bo at
either the primary or general
city election next year, to avoid
tho expense of a special election.
It must bo patent to all that the
unit plan would be tho most cer
tain of success, since it requires
a two-third vote to corry tho
bonds.

Attorney Gatzmyer replied that
according to tho city charter
whero property owners were
notified to repair their walks that
tho city was exempt from dam

upon tho property owners.
Fire Monday Night
Fire broko out at tho homo of
Robert Rostowski, at 1022 North
EdiBon street, Monday night nt
about 11:30, and tho residence
nnd all the clothing of the family
and furniture were destroyed.
Mr. Rostowski also claims, it is
said, that $72 which was loft in
the house, was also dostroyod.
Tho family was spending tho
night with friends in Portland
at tho time, and there was no
ono in tho house when the fire
broko out. Tho fire was first
noticed on the front porch ad
joining tho house, and is be
lieved to be of incendiary origin.
Tho fire department arrived on
the scene promptly, but the resi
dence being so far away from
tho nearest hydrant, they were
unable to render very efficient
service.outsido of saving nearby
houses. Tho house was valued
at $800, insurance $000. The
contents of tho house were valued
at $1200, insurance $120.

The Best Ever Held
The Pacific International Live
stock Exposition flung open its
portals at tho Portland Union
Stock Yards for tho third time
last week in its annual show,
with the most brilliant nnd repre
sentative field of entries in all
classes, individuals, herds and
carload lots that has ever been
assembled in this section of the
country. Stock that has never
known what it is to have their
colors lowered in defeat on this
continent or in the United King
dom, animals that have swept
everything in the way of awards
at the International Livestock
Show at Chicago, the National
Dairy Show at Chicago, at state
and district fairs without number
were represented in that mag
nificent symposium of livestock
aristocracy. Portland was the
mecca for all livestock men
last week. The eyes of all stock
men of the west were focused
on Portland. Nearly 1000 en
tries not single animals, but
individual herds of varying sizes
and on un to carload entries,
were listed with the exposition
that made the value run well up
into millions. An aggregate of
$15,000 in premiums were award
ed. No exposition of its kind
has ever attempted to do so much
for its community, for the coun
try tributary to it, or for the
industry it undertakes to foster.
Thousands visited the yards to
see the world's finest on exhibi
tion and closed last Saturday
where special entertainment had
been provided for the school
children and teachers who wit
nessed the awarding of tho prize
cups. .
Review 50c Per Year
It is tho custom of many news
papers to oiler premiums oc
cnslonnlly In order to acquire a
larger subscription list. Differ
ent articles that run the gamut
from books to household utensils
are thus held out as inducements
by various publications. Tho
Review has decided to inaugurato
a campaign for a larger subscrip
tion list in St. John. Owing to
he c1o.soiio.sk of times and a cor
responding scarcity of tho coin
of the realm, instead of offering
premiums, the Review will bo
sent to any address in St. Johns
at one-half price, or fifty cents
per year, which we believe will
be more appreciated than a pre
mium would bo. This reduction
in price will hold good only until
January first. Present subscrib
ers may avail themselves of the
bargain rate also by paving up
arrears, if any exist, and fifty
cents for ono your in advance.
Every home in St Johns should
receive tho Review each week.
It is a duty every citizen owes
to tho community, because the
larger tho subscription list tho
hotter paper, and the better tho
paper tho more benefit it will bo
to the community. Tako advan
tage of the bargain rato, and
tell your friends about it.

HIGH SCHOOL
Items of Interest Regard
ing School Doings
BiiBket boll was ushered in on
Friday, December 12th, when the
High School team played the
Alumni. The score was 2-1 to
'18, in favor of the Alumni.
The Alumni outweighed tho High
School boys, but that did not
prevent the game from being
exciting from beginning to
finish. The High School boys
were exceedingly fust and good
in the art of passing the ball.
Bill Magone starred for the
Alumni, and Kreuger for tho
High School. Those that par
ticipated in the game wore:
Brice, C. and B. Magone, Smock
and Cochran for the Alumni;
West, Kreuger, II. Smith,
Wright, Plaskett, Thayer, Hiatf.
McGregor, Bugbee, Baybrook,
Lear, Bellinger and Thurmond
for the High School. Besides
the boys' game, the coach picked
two girls' teams. Ono was
placed under tho leadership of
Ruth McGregor, and the other
under Arlinu Shaw. The team
under Ruth won by the score of
1(5 to 0. From the way tho boys
and girls played, good material
is in sight for this season.
The High School is planning
to enter the State League Debate
and we feel that wo have a totun
that is capable of doing good
work. The tryout debate was
held November 25th in the High
School auditorium, the question
debated being the district quos
tion, "Resolved, that tho U. S.
should maintain a largo navy."
Of the ten contestants who en
tered for honors, tho following
six were selected by tho judge:
Maggie Dickie and Hazol Hall,
who make our affirmative team;
Lulu Day and Cnthorino Gons
man for the negative, whilo
Drott Larson and Homer Plaskett
