R. E. Thurmond. A. M. Steams. J. N. Edlcfsen nnd K. C. Couch made remarks, besides the mayor nnd members of the coun cil, and tho city nttorney and engineer. After viewing the mntter from nil points, it was decided that half of Pierce street between Willamette bou evard and Edison street, as originally petitioned for, be vacated, and a resolution to this elfect was idoiitcd. Mayor Vincent stated that limself, J. N. Edlcfsen and eter Autzen had interviewed Mr. Mears of tho Port of Port- nnd and practical assurance had icon given that the Commission would make a generous donation toward construction of the road way between Willamette boule vard and the railroad.

A number of tho pupils wcro unnblo to attend, Charles Schauff, the local florist, is not only an expert at raising liowers, but is an adept at fruit raising as well. He brought into this ofiice Wednes day a half dozen of beautiful summer apples. The namo of the fruit is not definitely known, but he terms them the "Gatton" apples. In tho meadow of tho uatton farm an applo tree a number of years ago made its surprising appearance from the center of an old fir stump. It was gnarled and crooked in ap pearance, but it certainly de livers the goods that are good to look upon and still better for eating and cooking purposes. It is believed that in tho years gone by a bird or squirrel had dropped a seed on the stump from which the tree sprang. There is no other fruit tree any ways near this one, and the applo is different from any known variety. It has a fine color, said to be a good keeper, and we know it is good to eat. Mr. Schauff secured buds from the tree and grafted them onto a tree in his yard, the apples which he brought to this ofiice being samples raised from the grafting. r The following proposition, vol untarily executed und handed to tho city ufler tho proceedings vacating the westerly half of icrce street, has tho ring of fairness, und whatever honest differences of opinion mny hnvo existed regarding any further need of this part of the street, this agreement would seem to leave no reasonable ground for further controversy orhindranco to the road to tho cooperage plant: To tho Honorable Mayor und Council of tho City of St. Johns - ticntlemcn: in consideration of tho action of tho Council in ordering tho vacation of the westerly half of Pierco street, hereby voluntarily agree that if at any time during the iirsl six months after the completion of tho road to tho water front, nnd tho connection of Edison street therewith by tho best grade pos siblo toward Polk street a ma jority of tho property owners on said portion oi Edison street petition for and agree to pay for a road around tho comer of Block 22.

A book with tho above title has been issued In New York which contains the opinions of sixteen of the "makers of re ligious thought" on the ques tion of man's hereafter. They all support tho doctrine of the soul's immortality, nnd while ignoring the old fashioned material hell, insist that tho souls of the good will faro much better in the hereafter than tho souls of the bad. The men sub scribing to this nre nil eminent clergymen. There is nothing more strange about a future life for men thnn i3 the present life. Called from nothing; appearing hero moro helpless und dependent than any other creature; still in from twenty to sixty years ringing the world with his words or deeds and then growing still und turning back to dust; men con templating this, and remember ing the affections formed in that brief time; tho tearing of heart strings nt tho separation, revolt against the thought that this is all. They look ut the slurs in their processions nnd realize that only nn infinite wisdom could huvo framed their order nnd their splendor. They noto tho sea sons in thoir rounds nnd mark that after the exhaustion of pro ducing tho harvest, tho sun wanders further and further away and the tired earth grows wan and cold and wrapping tho winding sheet of the snow nround it sinks into a sleep that looks like that phenomenon which we cnll death. But when tho sleep is ovor tho sun re turns; tho winter's shroud melts away; even under tho snow flowers uro found; then conies the soft air; the buds appear; tho trees put on anew their robes; the birds return nnd re build their houses; tho spring advances into the summer anil that is followed by anothor har vest. Is man lost in this eter nal progression? That ho should bo would be a violation of every lesson that is taught by tho operations of nature. But tho bread wo eat Ih made from grain that at first was but wild grass that mndo pasture for animals. It had to bo cultivated to givo it value. By his discipline Luther Bur- bank has converted what was but a repellant plant into an ar ticle of food moro wonderful than was over seen before. He has pruned nnd engrafted fruit trees until ho bus doubled both tho quantity and quality of their 1 nut. in tho sumo way 10 has converted u worthless weed into a glorious flower. But ho has been able to do this by finding an original ele ment in the fruit or flower that had been dormant from the first. Wo talk of good and bad man. By that wo mean only that tho germ of good is more devolopod In tho ono than in tho other. Many good men produce only half the good that they should. Ihoy are waiting on v that tho original olomont of good within them may be more fullv nwaken- cd. Many bad inon are waiting merely for tho mngic touch that will cause them to shed their thorns and bring forth their fruit. With many this will not bo done in this life, but all thu essons that we gather make the foundation for the hope of a uglier life. And it seems to us thut we have no authority for saying that in that higher life tho degrees of happiness will bo measured by our lives here. Rather it seems moro reason able to say that in tho ceaseless upward procession a certain station will have to be reached before men on earth or souls be yond will finally receive the light to understand that real happi ness comes onlv through lovo and justice and devotion to duty. -uoouwurs weekly.
