Wriht. ml. Shoes at Handsome Savings Clean-up for winter stocks, to make way for Spring Weights offer many inducements to those who need these necessities. I herewith take the privilege of announcing that I will ho a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the odicc of City Attorney of St. Johns, Oregon. THAD. T. PARKER. Prospective candidates are on the anxious scat, with their ear to the ground to discover if any one else is about to announce as a candidate for the office which they have a hankering for. Don't be bashful, gentlemen. An nounce yourself if you have any political aspirations, and the vot ers will soon let you know if you are wanted. Oh! Woman, woman! Where is tho consistency? Just think of it! The women of Oregon fought and worked like all possessed to gain the right to vote in this state, and now alter winning the battle, they do not scorn to care a darn whether they vote or not. Tho population of Port land is not far from being pretty evenly divided, and yet the rug istration hooks wiiicn ononct there January fith show that three males have registered to every one female. What on earth did they want the franchise for. anyhow, Hill? Oh, yes. we have it! They merely wished to show these, mere men that they couldn't keep them from it if they wanted to vote, that's all. In following out this line of reason ing it is apropos to believe that if the women of England wore by law obliged to vote that they would nroiiK an me windows in London and horsewhip the king just to show the male tyrants they could not lie forced to do so. . Our attention has been called to the fact that Stanford street, which runs through the Jaeger tract of land on Dawson street. is only 50 feet in width, while through the Caplcs tract this street is feet wide, also that a waiver petition was signed by tho owner of tho Jaeger tract for the improvement of Dawson street, while Mrs. Caples did not sign such a document, 'vjueh makes the cost proportionately heavier on tho part of Mr. Jaeg er than upon Mrs. Caplen. It has also been suggested that tho fact should not be overlooked that a reduction of $ 100 has been made on tho Jaeger tract. To remove any erroneous impres sions that might twist, the Re view wants it understood that it has not the slightest objection to the Jeagor tract, only it be lieves the Caples tract is tho more valuable of tho two, as it is situated nearer to where tho great majority of citizens make their homes. In fact, our idea of parks would bo to include the Cuples and the Jaeger tracts and the tract intervening in one cen tral park, with as many other smaller parks as the citizens de sire to acquire. While the peo plo may not yet bo prepared for such a move, yet in the event that the consolidation of Port land and St. Johns becomes im minent, St, Johns should un doubtedly secure all the narks it needs, regardless of the tact the bond issue might mount well up in figures. If wo do not, Colum bia Park is all that tho lower peninsula can hope for. because Portland would not likely give us something that we bad not gump tion enougn to secure J or our solves. Howover, the Review cannot warm up properly on tho subject of parks until some wav is provided to equip parks prop- eriy wunoui taking tno money tiieroior trom tno general lund. It should bo provided for in the bond issuo. To buy parks and let them remain in their virgin condition is not very appealing, auu wouiu reauy mean only change in ownership, with the city owning tho land and actually having no parks. The city's ex perience with the city dock should prove that it is best to provide for the "trimmings" in tho bond issue. Rut as there is still u possibility that the nark question will.be laid on the shelf to cool oil for awhile, further discussion along this line would no doubt tend to weary rather than interest tho average citizen.

That is the reason for the price reductions that prevail in our shoe section, now when the need for winter goods is keenest. While wooirQ of winter weather remain, we must clean up our stocks of shoe and this ckin up means unsurpassing savings to all those who take advantage of it ft the prices are little short of sensational.

Worjc for a Qraator St, Jouai, Iidilor Keview: I when a hoy of shooting Hock ol DliieklnnlH, and it may seem strange to you, hut do you know that 1 believe to this day that 1 hit the bird that fluttered. Mr. A. W. Davis grows elo quent, Harcastic. etc., etc., over a little Hiiil) I put in the Keview last week. Now, Mr. Kditor, Mr. Davis either got mad, or he is not as logical a man as 1 sup nosed he was. Let's review a little. Ho says "It was the sense of the South Knd meeting that the Caples tract was to he selected, and that the Jaeger tract was to he laid aside and not considered. Now Mr. Da vis, Why was this laid aside? In that meeting when Mr. Lewis was talking about the Jaeger tract you. as agent for Jaeger. withdrew said tract and tho meet- ng could not consider it. He speaks of my making an ....,r..l I. ,...!" ..Iw.nl Cull. IP.,, I lit I III HIM. I IllfWIII. kjlftllll 1JIIII interfering in North Kndall'airs, and now I am taking excep tions to South Kiid nilairs. Will say. Mr. Davis, that I have a right to, since the third meet- ng. which united the two meet ings, and they agreed to vote as a "unit." 1 4iti say tltat I understood that there would ho some "juggling." I understood it from hearsay, so I did. and that is true, whether you believe it, or not. Now tho funny part: "I want narku, Air. rerrine, and 1 would like to have just what wo can afford consistently with our nec essities and means, hut believe mo, that unless we got down to a thorough business proposition. now after all this agitation and grandstand 'saving the country' tactics, which is your usual method, we are going to end it all in smoke." Now what does w mean by a "thorough busi- ness." etc.? Now read: "lam still of the opinion that tho Jaeg er tract is the most valuable and at the same time cheapest of any tract that has yet been olfered. Now. Mr. Davis, what would thorough business man do in a case 01 tins Kind: When you withdrew the Jaeger tract from the market were you using your thorough business methods in the interest of the city, or in tho interest of Mr. Jaeger, or in the interest of Mm. Caples? The city wants to buy. You have the most "valuable and cheap est." You withdraw it in the interest of " peace and harmony. " To whose interest are you using your nest business t acuities: I tion. Then you speak of "patri- 1 wvioiii 4ii(4 in vwiiiiiiiaoiiru 1 1 etc. The city mayor advertised ' for competitive bids. You fought remember competitive bids by withdrawing into a the Jaeger tract. Your love is too deep for my comprehension. Oh, "peace and harmony! "Hut what is the use? The aims of the article has been accomplish ed. Through the light of pub licity you have hung back the Jaeger tract in the interest of "peace and harmony" between you and Mr. Jaeger. 1 will prom ise you faithfully that whenever the city is going to buy any thing, and any one is keepm back the most "valuable" an the "cheapest," that if I know it I will "hob up serenely and attack ulterior motives to such actions." Mr. Davis, you occu py a double position- that of salesman and purchaser; I only one. that of purchaser. I want to buy tho best, and if you sell, you should have your commis sion. I don't believe in a dollar and cents patriotism, because that kind of patriotism depends on which side the most dollars lay. I want parks, Mr. Davis. If the people want parks, they should have them. If they don't want them, and so express them selves, I shall acquiesce in tho arrangements and be happy. One more statement, then am done: "It is a well known fact that an argument with Mr. rerrine Is never ending and al together useless." Now, Mr. Kditor, I hardly know how to take this statement. Whether he intends to call me an exceed ingiy origin man or an idiot, or whether ho intends to say that he is tho exceedingly bright man or jdiot. or both. So in conclu sion, will say. look out for tho machine, for if yon don't it will Sure-lock your "homes" against yon. G. L. PERRINE. CutTrs COUPON and we will glv you 1 0 S. & H.
