JOHNS REVIEW Devoted to the Interest!. of the Peninsula, the Manufacturing Center of the Northwest VOL. to ST. JOHNS, OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL, to, 1914. NO. 20 THE ELECTION Total Vote Received By Various Candidates Tho election Monday was most interesting one in which a num ber of surprises occured. Great est interest centered around the mayorship and the ofllce of city attorney, but much interest was also displayed in the outcome of tho various other contests for political office. It seemed to bo tho general opinion that Chas. Bredoaon, tho present mayorr would win easily with three can didates in tho field, but Dr. Vin cent surprised everybody by winning out with a safe margin. The election of Thad. T. Park er to tho olllce of city attorney was a great surprise to many, especially after u decision on tho water rate nueation had been rendered a couple ot days prev ious to election, which was gen erally supposed would result in tho election of Perry G. Stroud. John W. Davis was tho only independent candidate elect ed. All the proposed bond issues mot with defeat. Tho bond issue for the purchase of a ilro engine carried by majority vote, but was far from reaching the necessary two-thirds vote. The park issues were badly beaten. Following is tho list of city candidates elected and who will take oath of office next Monday evening: Mayor Dr. A. W. Vincent. Recordor Albert E. Dunsmore Treasurer Frank A. Hico. Attorney Thad. T.

In the First Ward there were 798 votes cast and 510 in the Second Ward, with a total registration of abtut- 1500. After Big Projects II. E. Pennell gave a most lu cid explanation of how the repeal of free toils for coastwise trade would affect tho lumbering bus iness at a meeting of the board of governors of the Commercial Club, which was held during the lunch hour Monday, when a fine lunch was also enjoyed. Mr. Pennell told how under the pres ent system which has always been in vogue that foreign ves sels could not engage in coaat wiso trade in tho United States, that they cannot pick up trado on the East coast and deliver it on tho West coast, or vice versa. American ships, however, are li censed to do so. The lumber in dustry, Mr. Pennell remarked, was in such condition that cur tailment would bo necessary un less the market could be broad ened, that there was at tho pres ent timo aif over production of lumber, and that tho lumberin; interests of the Pacific coast ha 3 been looking forward to broad ening their market by shipping lumber to Eastern ports via the Panama canal. But unless the Aihericnn shippers wore given the benefit of free toils they could not compete with foreign vesse s. that while foreign ves sels could not engage in coast wise trade, they could shin from one country to another. There fore, foreign vosscls could load with lumber in British Colum bia and unload in New York city, or any other Eastern port. Having tho advantage of cheap coolie labor, the American boats could not compete, which would finally mean an abandonment ot American vessels engaged in the umber trade, and a conscaucnt decline in tho lumber 'industry of tho Pacific coast Mr. Pou nd's belief was that free tolls would mean a quickening and wider development of tho lumbor business, whilo the enactment of tolls would mean curtailment and decline of tho industry. Uon motion. Mr. Pennell wns authorized to indite a letter to tho senators from the Pacific coast in tho mi mo of the Club urging them to vote against are peal of free tolls. President Bonham was au thorized to appoint a committee to take un with the promoters of tho new street car lino pro posed for Portland tho proposi tion of extending their line down Columbia boulovard to St Johns, and also a committee to take u tho matter of financing and erecting a modern club room building in St. Johns. Committees wero appointed to devise ways and means for cir culating petitions for tho enact ment of a charter amendment whereby the Port of Portland could use funds for the develop ment of Columbia Slough, and arrange for a club danco to bo given in the near future. The matter of taking up the proposition of a high bridge to connect St Johns with the west side of the river was discussed to some extent, but definito ac tion was delayed until tho next meeting. Laundry For St. Johns St Johns is to have a new steam laundry, something that she long has needed. George Watkins, who had been conduct iwr a first class laundry for years in Salem, has secured the site of the old Churchill laundry at the foot of Pittsburg street and is having erected a modern laundry that will be a credit to this city. The latest and most approved machinery and appli ances for all kinds of laundry work will be installed, and only work of the highest and most satisfactory class will be turned out Mr. Watkins' long associa tion with the laundry business has made him fully conversant with all matters pertaining to the business, and he gives as surance that all work turned out at the new establishment will be first class in every respect, and compare favorably both in nrice and workmanship with any work done in the city of Portland. Since the new plant is local in its nature, it will behoove the people of this city to give it support and encouragement and so long as the work and price is as srood as produced m Portland, there is every reason to keen the work at home, as most of the money taken in from the busi ness will circulate here. The new plant will be ready for business about the first of June. THE LIBRARY Interesting Notes for the Library Patrons Library hours: Afternoon 12 to 5:30. Evening 7 to 9.

Making Rapid Progress Of great interest and import ance to tho entire Columbia Bas in is tho prediction made recent ly by Major J. J. Morrow, engi neer in charge of this district, that river steamers would be passed through the Celilo Canal beforo the first of next January. Tho past month of March was notable in that more actual progress was made on tho. canal than in any other single month. From end to ond the great ditch is the scene of ceaseless and effec tive activity. Locks are being constructed, gates installed, the bottom of the canal is being floor ed with steel bars over which is poured thousands of tons of concrete, tho sloping sides are being riprapped in one place with reinforced concrete, in another with rubble masonry and still another with great blocks of lava rock, according to the character of the backing mater ial. At tho head of Five Mile Rapids a little band of men is at work boring holes into the rocky walls of the gorge, care fully examining tne material brought up by the drills and care fully recording their observa tions.

A Few Observations By An Unobserved Observer. Tho election is past, the agony is over and all is well. Rise and sing. But the park bonds proposi tions were all defeated. Ouch! Of course the city election brought disappointment to some, and yet the average citizen looks Bcdntc nnd happy. The people have expressed thJlr will and all seem willing to accept the results without complaint. This is as it should be. Let all join in tho hope that the new city ad ministration will be successful. Signs of Spring are multiply ing. Cherry trees are in full bloom, birds aroainglng and new Spring hats in endless variety nre displayed in tho windows of the millincrystorcs.i And now the names of more good citizens havcbcen placed in 'the list of those! who "also ran." Tho pleasant-huni (or tho an noying rattle) of the lawn mow er is heard again in till parts of tho city. Some of our unnaved streets have been In such bad condition recently that in some places they were but Httlo used. But at that they are as good as many of tho streets in Portland. St. Johns is hemmed in on three sides by deep water and on tho other side by a big city. If any old croaker can find comfort in that situation, let him enjoy It Down along tho water front there aro some . indications of Srosporous conditions. Tho Star and Co. has erected a largo new building, and the Portland Manufacturing Co. is building a substantial addition to its bas ket shop. It has been discovered that a young girl's hands can be mudo soft and pretty by soaking them thrco times u day in disn water. Perhaps Una la one -K-'ason why so many St. Johns girls have beautiful hnnds. Newcomers from tho East are arriving in our city almost daily. Why not buid a high bridgo to connect this city with the scenic highway to bo built along the hillside on tho west sido of tho Willnmetto river? All In favor of tho motion, hold up your right hands. Tho ico man's smilo !b begin ning to broaden.

The entire exhibit will be made up of tho various industries in the manufacture of tho finished pro duct but will bo combined so that to the public it will appear as one exhioit arranged in se quential order. First will bo snown tno worms in their cases actually spinning tho cocoons and then the method of killing them bo that they will not break a strand. In tho next booth workers will catch up tho filaments of tho cocoon on a fino brush and wind them through an eyelet into reels of continuous thread from buu to l.uuu yards in length. These ske ns will then be pass ed along to the next booth in which tho weavers make tho silk fabric and the cloth will bo shown in its various stages of develonment The finished product will bo given to a department of Amer ica's most famous modistes who will measure, cut and fit upon young women in full sight oi uiu puuuc. At the end of the exhibit will bo a long promenade, the floor of which will be covered with ex pensive carpets and the walls of tapestry with hangings of rare velvet Here will promenade scores of models wearing tho latest modish gowns.

The F,uisance FILTH LURKS' EM IN ENORMOUS SWARMS A strong campaign has been inaugurated in St Johns against the deadly fly, and it is expect ed that before the summer clos es that flics in this city will have become almost obsolete. Mr. Houchs and Miss Williams of Reed College were here Mon day and spoke at the various schools on the fly nuisance and means for its abatement. On Tuesday evening Dr. Bean of the Pacific University at Forest Grove, gave a splendid and most instructive illustrated lecture on Flies at the Central school build ing, which was well attended. He told and depicted how Hies are a menace to tho health and well being of any community, and gave instruction as to how they could be exterminated. Tho boys in tho manual training de partments are now busily engag ed in constructing traps that are expected to bo of material aid in reducing tho number of Hies in St. Johns. The fly nuiHanco is a matter that deserves most serious con sideration. It is a matter that should be taken up by every cit izen, who should lend his ener gies in extermination. The fol lowing taken from tho Health Bulletin of Portland is right to the point: If you see a fly kill it There is nothing cruel or brutal about doing so; for the fly is a useless little pest and very dangerous. If you don't kill it it may kill you, or kill little baby brother or sister. It is very dangerous to the little tads. No, it doesn't look dangerous. Neither does a live wire lying on tho sidewalk. But when it comes to killing, tho fly has probably killed more people than the combined armies of tho world. It Ib more deadly than a machine gun. Of course the danger it enrries ia a very subtle one. You don't sue it. The fly looks so small and helpless and harmless that you may look upon it as a mere littlo nuisance that sometimes tickles your hands when you nre trying to study or sleep. It carries its weapons on its tiny, liair-hko legs and feet. Ihey take tho form ol disenso germs. There is no disease tho poBt can't carry with it-and worse- -it is always to bo lound in tho breeding places of these diseases. Whore there is filth, there you will find tho house fly. It thrives on filth and when it has filled its stomach and smeared its logs in disease-laden filth it will lly along to greener fields; pausing to inspect mother's pics if they aro oxposed, or to take a sip from baby s milk jug. Wherever it alights it lays its trade mark filth, More often than not, danger ous gorms ol disenso are lound in this deposit Ui course, this doesn't ofton kill you; it doesn't always make you sick. Hut noither does every bullet in battle kill some one. In fact, tho figures show that in tho nv- crago battle moro than 1500 shots aro firod for ovory soldier that Is struck. Yet the fatalities in battle run into the thousands, and tho fat- alitios in a fly ridden district will mount up in the course of a vear. You may have your food poisoned by the dangerous littlo houso lly a thousand times with out serious results, but you can never toll when tho poison will strike home; it is too risky to take chances. So tho thing to do is to get rid of theso busy little grave fillers. Tho way to do that is kill a fly when you seo it Kill the flies in the house first Every time you seo one of them in the house, run it down. Don't let them stay in the house. Then keep them out of tho yard. Of course you can't al ways run a fly down in tho open. But you can remove his food supply from tho open. You can keep refuse matter from his reach and clean up your place so that it will have no attractions for the pest. This is tho most important part of tho fight against the fly. Starve it It doesn't do well unless there is plenty of nourish ment such as slops, dirty barn yards and tho like for breeding placoa. Tho average fly loathes cleanliness as deeply as the av erage human being loathes filth. When you have killed a fly HIGH SCHOOL litems of Interest Regard ing School Doings Monday afternoon Mr. Hnuck of Reed College gave us a very interesting and instructive talk on fly swatting. He is boosting tho Fly "Swatting" Campaign. Tho littlo yellow packages con veyed from school last Wednes day contained a small loaf of light bread. Tho girls are rapid ly improving in the Culinary Art Tho girls just can't forget basketball and the boys, too, still enjoy the game, regardless of tho fine weather outside. Friday evening, April JJ, tho boys played a game with tho Ori ent spund. The score at the end of the first half was 18 to 17 in favor of tho J. J. boys. In tho second period however with a little more team work the local boys picked up cloven points whilo Orient secured eight, thru making tho final scoro twenty nine to twenty-five. Our boys wera very hospitably entertain ed tf their hosts and came home well pleased with the trip. Next Friday evening there will bo a return game played in our Gym. Whilo tho boys wero thus oc ccupied, the girls went to Forest Grove to play tho return game with that team. Tlioy won by a score of 10 to 3, tho thrco points gained by Forest Grove being secured on fouls. Tho trip was of necessity a hurried one because of tho car service, but every one who went enjoyed every minute. In response to an appeal by way of the bulletin board a num ber of boys started the good work of getting tho tennis court into good shape. Tho German classes gavo a German Party to tho rest of tho. school, Saturday evening, April 1. One of the interest ng fea tures was a German play which was very laughable and very In teresting. When refreshments wore served a bill of faro, writ ten in Dutch was given to each one. Uf course no ono Know what 10 was order ng and hence curiosity ns well as good humor served to whet tho appetites of tho iruests. The party was most ably planned and most gracefully carried out in every detail. ono solitary uy- -you nave ciono . 1 1 much. For the fly multiplies rapidly. Mr. and Mrs. Fly will have a family running into the count less billions in tho course of their short Uvea. So when you kill ono lly you prevent a great cloud of them. When you clean up your place and keep it clean you prevent moro files than you could count in a dozen lifetimes. Tho subject of flies is a big one. Books have been written about it, To exhaust the subject would take many issues of much larger bulletin than this one. Hence on y a lew essontini points can be touched on here. The most important tact ot an Is that wo must do away witlt the fly and with the filthy p'acea that beget Hies, This is a worK in which ovcryono should take a part; children and grown ups. The campaign which is now opening in Portland is designed to make Portland a iiyiess city. It may make business a trifle dull for tho grave diggers and undertakers: but thoy will hardly grumble. So when you seo a fly breeding placo, cither do away with it or report tho matter to tho City Health Ofiicer. When you see a fly kill it. Clean lip! Clean Up! I would urge that all our citi zens clean up all rubbish lying on and around their premises, placo same in boxes or barrels and placo on the curbs so that it may readily bo removed by tho teamsters on April 20th, the day sot aside by the city council ns "Cleanup Day." It is hoped that all citizens will lend their efforts in thus making our city a cleaner and moro inviting abode. Now is the timo to get busy. ChaB. Bredeson. Mayor of St. Johns.
