COUNCIL MEETS
Hatters of Importance
Receive Attention
All members wore present qt
the regular meeting of the city
council Tuesday evening, with
the exception ot Councilman
Cornell: Mayor Vincent presided
as usual.
Eleven out of sixteen property
owners invo ved on Charleston
Btreet between Hayes and Wil
lamette boulevard in a pntition
asking the council to proceed
with the improvement of this
section of the street waived all
irregularities that might exist
in so doing. The contract for
the improvement had been
awarded to Cochran-Nutting Co.
two weeks ago. Later it waB
discovered that the proceedings
were irregular owing to the fact
that the improvement was pro.
cccding on a now grade without
first changing by due process
the old grade. The proceedings
were stayed by action of the
council last week. Attorney
Geo. J. Perkins, representing
Cochran-Nutting Co., was pres
ent at the session Tuesday eve
ning and .stated that his clients
were willing to drop the contract
if reimbursed to the extent of
ton per cent of the contract
price, deeming that amount due
them on account of other work
thoy lost in preparing to start
on this improvement. Attorney
Parker agreed with Mr. Perkins
that the work could proceed and
the grado bo changed in regular
form after the work had been
started as well as previously,
and the only thing dissatisfied
proporty owners could do in any
ovont was to put in a claim for
damages on account of the
change in grade, and according
to the charter, any damages that
bo established from this causo
would have to bo provided for
by tho property bonofitcd by the
change Finally a motion was
made by Councilman Munson
that tho city attorney prepare a
resolution providing for the
change in grade. Aldermen
Davis, Garlick and Graden voted
mo; Waldrof, Chadwick and
Munson yes. Mayor Vincent
cast tho deciding vote in tho
afQrmativo. A motion was then
made that the contractors pro
ceed with tho work, which re
sulted in identically tho samo
vote, tho deciding affirmative
vote being again cast by the
mayor.
Mr. Wyblo desired to know
what if any action tho council
anticipated making toward side
walking Ivanhoo street south of
Burlington. Tho walk in front
of his property had become so
dilapidated that he had it re
moved, and he was uncertain
whether to place a walk in a
temporary manner, or whether
the city decided to order now
walks along the street. Alder
man Munson then mado tho mo
tion that a resolution be ordered
drawn directing tho engineer to
prepare plans and specifications
for a cement sidewalk on Ivan
hoe street between Burlington
and Leavitt streets. Again the
voto resulted in Councilmen
Davis, Garlick and Graden vot
ing no, and Waldref, Chadwick
and Munson yes. Upon the
mayor voting in the negative
the motion was lost, and Mr.
Wyble was advised to construct
a temporary walk. A movement
is on foot to sidewalk and hard
surface the street between Fes
senden and Richmond streets
next year. J
A communication from the
Warren Construction company
stated that it would hard surface
Columbia boulevard between Jer
sey ana Dawson streets at a
rate of $1.45 per square yard,
and the matter was held over for
consideration by the council.
The fire department asked
for a contribution in the sum of
$100 to go toward defraying ex
penses of the Firemen's Tourna
ment here on Labor Day. On
motion of Alderman Garlick the
reauaet was granted, although
Alderman Graden said he believ-
ed it better o save the money
to the taxpayers, and conse-
nuentlv he voted against the
amironriation. All the others
voted in the affimative.
Bills amounting to $588.61
werer allowed, which included
the July water bill and $183.80
nn weed cuttiner expense.
The engineer was directed to
have the aon tractor proceed with
the sidewalking of Willamette
boulevard. The work had been
delayed in the hope that it might
Better Babies Contest
The Better Babies Contest in
St. Johns promises to be n moat
interesting event. It will bo
held in the auditorium of the
hinh school building Tuesday,
September 1st, beginning at 9
n. m. From present prospects
considerably over one hundred
babies will ue entered. At least
fifteen physicians will assist in
making the tests, and" it will
nrobablv consu'mo the entire
day. All mothers are requested
to enter their babies at the St.
Johns Sanitarium. It is import
ant that mothers be at the high
school auditorium at time des
ignated on September 1st, in or
der that they may not lose their
turn. It is also desired that
each mother bring a blanket and
photo of the child or children.
Following is the committee on
entry and enrollment, which.will
a so act as reception committee
and assist the equipment com
mittee on contest day: Mes
dames Hall, chairman; Harring
ton. Thayer. Rambo, McLean,
Stroud, Kcclcr, Shaw. Parker
and Kellogg of St. Johns, and
Mrs. Bennett and Mrs. Whoit
of University Park.
The equipment committee con
sists of Mrs. Ed. Monahan, chair
man, and Dr. L. E. Graves.
Mrs. A. W. Marklo has charge
of the publicity work, and will
be assisted by the Mothers' club.
M ss Perk ns is chairman or
tho entertainment committee.
Great interest is being taken
in the contest, and it is safe to
say that St. Johns will, make a
splendid showing in tho baby
line, us in everything else.
It's Different Here
The city charges $10 per quar
ter. $40 a vcar. for u license to
distribute dodgers or bills, and
if a person distributes his own
bills tho police stop him or nut
him under arrest becauso he has
no 1'ccnso to do such work. The
downtown largo bill poster firms
chnrgo $3 per thousand to dis
tribute bills in seilwood.
Tho"$10 per quarter licenso
fee was made to give tho down
town firms a monopoly of tho
business, knowing that no one
in suburbs could afford to pay
that license fee. It is a steal
tniro and simnlo. and a rank
discrimination against the pco
plo and favorablo to grafters,
and wo wonder if tho present
city government will allow this
discrimination to continue. The
distribution of bills is an import
ant matter with suburban busi
ness men. churches and societies,
who, under present conditions,
must either submit to being

Of late years our government
has not hesitated to mix direct
ly in the affairs of tho people.
It is regulating the finances and
business of the great trunk rail
roads, at least so far as to try to
unearth their stealings and to
limit rates.
It has spread its sheltering
blanket over tens of millions of
frontier acres to see that tho
men of tho frontier arc shut out
from trying to mukc a living
from any dormant resource that
they may contain.
It passes laws to kill many pros
perous enterprises in our country,
that the men who work half
naked serfs in foreign countries
may do well. It digs a canal to
connect the world's two great
est oceans for the benefit of the
outsido world's commerce and
to accentuate the benefit to out
siders aims a body blow at our
own coast shipping.
I'or the benefit of foreign ship
owners it has caused tho people
of this country to pay a sum an
nually to those foreigners which
has annually for the past forty
years been sufficient to buy a
Dutch republic.
'iho excuso haB been cither
that we inust protect our own
pcoplo or do nothing to tarnish
our national honor.
Now Great Britain and nearly
all continental Europe is in
volved in a devastating war and
tho world's commerce has prac
tically gone into retirement. In
tho meantime whilo the har
vests of Europe aro trodden
down, our harvest is growing
musty in tho country's gran
aries and warehouses, and the
furmcrs and Iho wholo country
aro suttoring lor tho money.
The thing needed first is ships.
and second, that tho ships if ob
tained, may bo able to sail tho
seas undisturbed.
Why docs not the government
go a step further, buy and sail
tho ships. That would prevent
dangcr-irom encounter with .for
eign warships. Tho knowledge
that tho United states had
bought and was sailing tho ships
would make them immune
acainst attack. It would not
only insure tho tho moving crops,
but it would demonstrate to tho
government the cost of running
ships engaged in commerce. It
would, moreover, restoro tho old
(lag to tho seas. Tho cost of
buying tho ships could easily bo
arranged. All that would bo
needed would bo to issue a few
millions more bonds. That is
what is always done when tho
government needs largo money.
Thero would bo no troublo about
securing commanders for the
ships, the fleet- that is lying in
the roadstead or vera uruz wait
incr to see which Mexican mur
derer and robber shall get tho
best of all tho other murderers
and robbers down there, could
send up officers and engineers
enough to handle the merchant
ships.
And tho need is urgent, lius
iness is congested all over tho
country, tho money for tho
wheat and cotton is wanted; the
extraordinary issue of emerg
ency money will not help those
who have not sufficient means to
supply the needed security.
Prompt work is in order and it
must bo in a way so open and
fair and conclusive that there
should be no delays and no un
certainty about the work when
done.
But on both coasts wo have
many shipyards. In every one the
hammer should bo ringing
night and day in building ships
of largo carrying capacity with
arrangements for only a few
passengers in each for sea travel
will be much abngded tor a year
or two.
When ocean commerce stops,
the world is practically stopped,
that is the business world upon
which men depend for not only
prosperity but for a living.
Our country needs it less than
the others, but harvests must be
moved or indutriee on a thousand
lines will be forced to close down,
and a nation filled with idlo
and desperate men is worse off
than a nation at war.
Europe wants our bread, and
all manner of foods that can be
transported, the world needs
our cotton and many forms of
manufactured wares in which
bur artisans excel in making.
We have a vast army of idle
men who need work. The build
ing and sailing of the ships
would engage a full million of
these, in the mines, in the re
duction works, in the rolling
mills, in the shipyards and out
at sea navigating the ships.

Was a Big Success
Buyers' Week is a thing of
tho past, but it was a week that
will bo vividly remembered for
a long time, probably until next
year's "Week." which from all
indications will bo attended by
n greater number of buyers thnn
tlio one just past. The registra
tion at Portland Commercial
Club reached nearly COO and tho
visitors represented practically
overy town of any importance
in tho Pacific Northwest. It is
estimated that goods purchased
from Portlaridnfcmifacturor8
and jobbers during the week
amounted to approximately $1,-
000,000. The visitors wero
hardly allowed sufficient timo to
do tlieir buying, certainly no
timo to get homesick or lone
some, for entertainment of some
kind was on tap nearly every
minute. Receptions, smokers,
theatres, banquets, luncheons
and automobile rides followed
each other in rapid succession
during tho cntiro week. If any
ono had a complaint to mako ho
did not make it public, and most
of the visitors departed with a
hearty: ' See you again next
year," and expressions ot deep
satisfaction with tho business
and social events of their short
vacation.

War 100 Years Ago
A hundred years havo pusscd
since the great nations of Eu
rope gathered on battlefields in
titanic struggle, combining their
hatreds and their men to curb
the genius of Napoleon.
.That century has changed
every method of warfare, bring
ing new implements of death
and increasing tho power of
each soldier as a killer many
fold.
Napoleon gathered 200,000
man at Lcipsic in October. 1813.
to stand against the armies
raised by Austria. Russia.
Sweden and Prussia. The al
lies had a total of 350,000 men.
Ihero were mixtures of races
on each side. To the eagles of
Napoleon rallied not only his
own Frenchmen, but Italians,
Spaniards, Portuguese, Belgians,
Dutch, Swiss, Poles anu Ger
mans. Ago nst him wero nittcd
Slavs, Englishmen, Germans,
Swedes, Hungarians and savage
Bashkirs, a mixed lartn tribe
from Northern Russia, who
fought with bowB and arrows.
It was fighting at c oso range.
Tlio infantry carried flintlock
muskets. To reload was a mat
ter of minutes. Their sharp
bayonets wore often more deadly
an their bullets.
Tho artillery of tho period was
primitive. Tho guns wero muzzle-loading
fired with fuse or
match. Thn round ballBchrapncl
of chained carried but short dis
tances. The clash was between
men who could look into each
others eyes, who rode down each
other with circling sabers.
In that battlo, tho first import
ant battloficld defeat of Na
poleon, 54,000 of tho allies lost
tlieir lives. Of Nnpolcon's
army, 40,000 doad and wounded
wero loft behind when tho retreat
begun towards Paris. Tho battlo
lasted from October 14 to October
20, 1813.
Now with millions of men
under arms tho chances, of .car
nago are multiplied not only by
tho nubmer engaged but by tho
new weapons of warfare which
turns each soldier into a platoon.
Bombs, capablo of killing
hundreds or tearing down great
fortifications, may bo dropped
from airships in tho night.
Tlio cannons havo grown to
mechanical monsters. Tho flint
lock has become a repeater, send
ing not ono bullet; but a volley.
Tho gatling guns speak a
hundrcud death sentences u sec
ond. Tho machino guns multi
ply tho man behind into a squad,
while upon tho sea. tho great
ships of death carry tho means
of wiping out cities from dis
tances almost beyond tho range
of vision.
Even with the primitive
weapons, waste, sorrow, starva
tion and unspeakablo sutloring
blighted the cities and countries
these armies visited.
Each contested city became a
group of hospitals, Livestock
and crops wero swept away tak
ing tho result or years ot indus
try in an hour.
Following tho beaten nrmy ot
Napoleon, tho allies entered
fans and lorced mm to abdicate,
Ho was bandished to Elba, but
within a year had escaped and
gathered an army of 300,000.
England, Russia, Austria anu
Prussia gathered an army of G00,-
000 and England and Prussia en
ded the lust wur in which all
great nations wero involved nt
Waterloo.
In men involved in tho pres
ent war. tho armies have in
creased nearly ten times. In
addition the armament of battle
ships brings to the contest
greater death power than exist
ed in tho entire equipment of a
century past,
The greatest drama of death
of all ages, impends, say the
military experts.
Tho clash of battleships at

Duty to Happiness
Paper by Mrs. J. Vinton
Scott read at tho Mothers' meet
ing in the Library Monday al'ter
noon :
As the Old Year goes out
slowly with life's joys and sor
rows, nnd tho Now Year comes
along, the first greetings we
hear people say are "Happy
New Year." I wonder if wo
know the full xlepth of this
greeting. "Happy New Year."
As tho New Year enters it is
welcomed by numerous resolu
tions. Mine is always to be
hiippy just for today; sufficient
unto tho day is evil thereof.
Tomorrow can take care of itself.
One can acquire a habit of
happiness just as ono can fall
into that dreadfully bad habit
of being sorry for oneself, and
it is astonishing how many
happy people, also happy homes
aro sought and appreciated.
To ho happy one muat first
get right with the Lord by not
neglecting Him in prayer; must
bo unselfish, and live to servo
others; thereby being a blessing
each day to some one you are
made happy as well as they.
True happiness is found in
sorving and helping' others.
Happiness can be cultivated just
liko vegetation by striving each
day to keep tho weeds plucked
up. The homes can be made
happy by all being temperate.
"Whatsoever you do, whether
you cat or drink . do all to tho
glory of God." I need not stop
to call your attention to tho un
happy homes of the saloon fre
quenter, for you already know
what exists; starvation, euro
worn mothers and ragged chil
dren. O, what a sad picture of
unhappincss! But you take a
Christian home, whore temper
ance in all things is practiced,
what a benutiful picture! Each
ono trying to bo a blessing to
tho other, which is, indeed, true
happiness. And these aro the
homes whore tho Saviour loves .
to dwell, yet He looks with.conH.'
passion on tho unhappy homes,
Wo often near this expression:
O. what a bright and happy
face she has." And is it not
beautiful to look into such a
face? Happiness in the face is
ike the sun in a landscape or a
firo in a living room, ns it at
tracts tho attention as tho prin
cipal thing, and warms and
cheers all those who see it.
Happiness, like good humor, is
very contagious. Perhaps you
invo watched some people laugh-
ng. and unconsciously you would
begin to smile. Just so with
us; wo unconsciously begin to
feel happy when wo aro in tho
company of genuinely happy
pcoplo.
If peoplo wero only tnught tho
duty of true hoppinosa tho world
would bo mtinjtoiy bettor nnu
brighter, and the individual
would have the satisfying hap
piness of work well done. True
happiness is also health. "A
merry heart dooth good liko n
medicine. Genuine happiness
is being happy through good
report and through evil times;
being culm and serono under all
circumstances, nnd every soul
that touches ours, though it be
tho s uhtest contact, that soul
gets some helpful good, shnroa
tho blessing and feels liko mnk-
inur another e tort lor tho nnzu
of tho high calling which is in
Christ Jesus."
"True Ilnppinoss" is only nn
othor torm for grntitudo to tho
Giver of all good, and there is
wonderful help in counting tha
blessings that wo havo. largo or
spinll, and hunting thorn up
determinedly.
Practice happiness, eultivato
hanniness. radiate hunpinuss
upd you will bo happy and will
meet happiness on overy hand.
A health unto tho happy,
A fig for him who frots;
It isn't ruining rain to me,
It's mining violets."
