THE RESULT
Summary of the Votes
Cast Saturday
More interest than was expect
ed was taken in the primary
election held last Saturday. Out
of 1171 voters registered, about
740 uyailed themselves of the op
portunity to vote. This is a far
greater percentage than is usu
ally the case at primary elec
tions. 25 to 110 per cent being the
rule in lute years. The beauti
ful weather, coupled with the
fact that the polls kept open an
hour longer in the evening than
previously, wore strong factors
in getting the vote out. As is
invariably the case where full
tickets are not in the Held, nu
merous citizens received compli
mentary votes for the various
olllces. The ladies who served
on the election boards performed
their new duties as well as the
men. Everything passed oir in
a smooth and pleasant manner,
with no friction of any kind.
The following nominations of
the various parties were made:

studied the situation closely.
and says tho improvement in
conditions is genuine. Mr. Gill
more reports that:he has recent
ly made four cash sales which
uggregate $5000.
"The most significant feature
of these sales is that they wero
all cash. Two were for lots and
houses and the others were for
vacant lots. I hnVo made more
sales during the months of Jan
uary and February of this year
than any corresponding months
for the Inst eight years since I
have been in business in St.
Johns. Several new stores have
been opened in St. Johns recent
ly. Wo hope to have another
large woolen mill in St. Johns

from the East has been investi
gating conditions here, and was
favorably impressed. He has in
view a two acre site here. He
left for tho East to take up the
money end of the plan to erect
tho woolen mill. The more fac

skilled men. Tho St. Johns Com

up tho matter with the County
Commissioner. Also the club
has taken up the mntter of a
roadway to tho Union Meat Com
nany's plant, for which there is
a right of way along the North
Hank railway, bt. Johns should
have an entrance to tho inter
state .bridge, at
"Work has been started on the
improvement of tho Willamette
boulevard. The gas company is
laving its mains on the street in
advance of the paving of the
street. Other utllites will bo
laid also in advance of the im
provement. Tho cost of this im
provement will be $18,000."

The Panama Tolls
Editor Review: After due
thought and careful considcra
, tion and having been importuned
I by njargo number of men for an
opinion as to the justness of the
message placed before Congress
upon the Panama Canal toll, I
I enter upon this subject with tlo
I liberation and thought, nnd offer
I what follows as an opinion of
! mine written from a law point
I of view.
I It is a well known fact in 1901
j there was a treaty made nnd en
tered into between the United
States and Great Britain settling
the question of toll, called the
canal toll, as between these two
great contracting parties and all
other nations who would pledge
tncmseives to respect and obey
tho treaty made between the
nbove named parties. The word
ing of satd treaty I quote word
for word, that till who mny read
this letter may read and judge
for themselves as to thu menn-
ing of the text of said treaty,
which reads as follows, to wit:
"The government of tho Unit
ed States and Grout Britain, hav
ing not only desired in entering
into this convention to nccom-
piish a particular object, but al
so to establish a general princi
ple, thoy hereby agree to extend
their protection, by treaty stip
ulations, to any other practica
ble communications, whether by
canal or railway, across the isth
mus which connects North and
South America, and especially
to tho inter-ocean communica
tions, should thu same nrovo to
be practicable, whether by canal
or railway, which are now pro
posed to be established by the
way of Tehauntepec or Panama.
In granting, however, the r
joint protection to any canal or
ruilways us are by this act snec
ified, it is always understood by
tho United States and Great
Britain that tho parties con
structing or owning tho sumo
shall impose no other charges or
conditions of truffle thereupon
than the aforesaid governments
shall approve of as just and
equitable, and that the samo ca
nals or railways being open to
the citizens and subjects of tho
United States and Great Britain
on equal tonus, snail also bo
opon on like terms to the citi
zens and subjects of every other
statu which is willing to grant
thereto such protection as tho
United Status and Great Britain
engage to afford."
1 bus you seo, or can see. that
under this Article VIII. called
tho Clayton-Bulwer treaty, was
made and entered into in 1901.
Remoinber this treaty was made
and signed by Theodore Roose-
volt, or whilo ho was Pros dent
of the United States.
To make it plain to tho read
ers ot tins article, i now suy
while this treaty above quoted
was in full force nnd effect, Con
gress passed the so-called Canal
Act in rJl2, an act exempting
United States coastwiso traders
from paying toll in passing over.
across or through by way of ca
nal or railway, the toll exemp
tion, which is a violation of the
treaty of 1901 between tho
United States and Great Brituin.
It is scon clearly that the act
of 1912 wus and is a violation of
the troaty mado and enterod in
to between tho United States
nnd Great Brituin. which is now
in full forco and effect. It is
also apparent that the canal
treaty exempting coastwiso
tradors should bo repealed for
the reasons nbovo set forth. It
is also well known that there are
thoso who uro eager to criticise
the present administration and
charge that the administration
is catering to tho good graces of
England, when tho facts are that
Congress should repeal said uct,
which is in violation of the
treaty of 1901. I hold that Con
gross should do right because it
is right, and not through fear;
and it seems fitting that tho
President of tho United States,
seeing the violution of the treaty
of 1901 by the act of 1912, should
use his whole influence as the
head of the nation to show to
tho world that the nation which
lie represents cannot afford, if it
is a powerful nation to insist up
on unfair doa'ing.

It was the fastest game of the
season.
Six of tho basket ball girls,
nccompanied by Mr. and Mrs.

enough to defeat any team. The
day was extremely beautiful and

boding before their arrival. Tho
Silvcrton girls played a fino game
but J. J. II. S. girls managed to
carry off n score of 6 to 19. Tho
results of the game kept a num
ber of the giris awake a good
share of the night, but they
were all ready bright and early
to catch the morning train homo.
The Silvcrton girls proved to bo
ns hospitable as they were good
