cussed, upon which topic Messrs.
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.

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. I will thereupon im
mediately release und dedicato
a portion of the wosteiiy half of
Pierco street, measuring 20 teet

street, and leaving the same at

hereby agree to accopt tho im
provement of said westerly half
of Pierce stroot by grading a

described, by building a retuin-

such road, and building a side

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.
