JOHNS, OREGON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER n. 1914. 4 NO 42 REVIEW COUNCIL MEETS Matters of Importance Receive Attention All members were present at the regular meeting of the city council Tuesday evening, with Mayor Vincent presiding, A petition signed by about 75 citizens asked lhat a policeman bo appointed to serve in the East St. Johna district, the con tention being raised that con siderable crime is going on in that neighborhood owing to its nrox m ty to the railroad and tho outer border of the city. Councilman Wnldref was of the oninion that such additional ser vice was badly needed. The mnvor remarked that some com nlafnt had nlroady been made concerning tho number of police men now on duty, yet ho realiz ed that hotter service should bo supplied in tho EastSt. Johns district. Aldermen Graden and Munson said they believed tho present force was sufficient if it could bo arranged to spend more time in tho outlying districts. Upon motion of Councilman Wnl dref that an additional police- man bo appointed by the mayor to serve as night policeman at East St. Johns, Councilmen Cor nell. Garlick, Wnldref and Chad wick voted yes, and Councilmen Davis, Graden and Munson no; motion carried. Tho Portland Woolen Mills Company asked that Crawford street be repaired so that water would not remain standing on the street during tho wotweath er, and tho city engineer was directed to give tho matter his attention. A communication from tho Commercial club asked that Col umbia boulevard between Jersey and Dawson streets, which is the only remaining link in a hard surfaco thoroughfare to Portland, bo either hard sur faced or resurfaced with ma cadam. Upon motion of Alder man Wnldref tho city attorney was directd to draft a resolution directing the city engineer to preparo tho necessnry plans, specifications and estimates for improving tho streot with stand ard concrete paving. Notico of proposed improve ment by sidewalk adjacent to tho city's land used as a rock quarry at Whitwood Court was served upon tho council. R. D. Powell made complaint against a certain dog in his neighborhood that was proving of considerable annoyance, which ho claimed was running at largo without a muzzle. Ho also stated that there were a number of dogs throughout the city running at largo without muzzlos, and that he had formally entered a complaint before tho municipal judge against one dog in par ticular, on which ho desired ac tion taken by the police force. Tho mayor stated that ho would endeavor to have tho police en force the muzzling ordinnnco to a greater degree, and on motion of Councilman Garlick it was decided that dog owners should bo given notice through the St. Johns Review to the effect that tho dog muzzling ordinance would be strictly enforced, and all dogs found running at large without a muzzle would be promptly executed. The police department has been giving the dog owners full opportunity to muzzle tho dogs before taking extreme measures, but no fur ther consideration will hereafter be given. ' Bills amounting to $316.10 were allowed, the principal item of which was for water. A warrant was also ordered drawn to pay for eighty per cent of the work so far done on the Cooperage roadway. Reports from the chief of police, city treasurer and city recorder for the month of Au gust were read and accepted. The improvement of Wil lamette boulevard between Bur lington and Richmond streets was accepted. The mayor stated that himself and J. E. Hiller had made a trip to Goble last week to ascertain the condition of a ferry boat there that it was proposed by the county commissioners to use at St. Johns and remove the local ferry boat to Vancouver during this week. They found the boat entirely inadequate to take the place of the St Johns boat, and the substitution was not attempt ed. An ordinance creating a board of censorship was passed unan- Prosperity Ahead If the manufacturers and mer chants of the United States climbed into a hole and pulled the hole In after them they couldn't avoid the prosperity which is starting their way. It is being thrust upon them. It is coming to them by overy steamer that sails from South America or Asia. As every day brings tho news that the Indus try of all Eurone is falling into rack and ruin, so every day does it become more and more evi dent that American industry has to supply the place in the world's trade which European industry has held. We all feel sorry for the terrible things going on across tho Atlantic. Wo all de ploro tho closing of tho English, German and French factories. tho desertion of tho fields, tho abandonment of all tho ways of peace. But that must not make us blind or deaf to tho opportun ities, to tho duties, that liammcr at our doors. Even if tho war wore to end tomorrow, it would be months before the industries in Europe could bo nut unon a normal basis. It will take vears to recover the lost crround. no matter whether or not American trade has como In between Enirlnnd and Gcr many and France and their cus tomers. Time a one can reor ganize businesses, refit and re man tho merchant marine, re store tho routine of commerce. In tho menntimo tho foreign markets will havo to bo sup plied and fed from tho United States. And that process of supplying nnd feeding will bring millions and millions of dollars to this country. It will mako mills hum with industry. It will crowd export Jioubos with orders. It will put railroads and steamship lines at tho task of transporting moro goods than ever before they were called upon to carry. It will gtvo overy man willing to work tho means to work, with out worry or troubling as to tho next day's omploymont. It will bring such prosperity as Amer ica novcr experienced before. Toledo Blade. An Interesting Debate Tho people of St. Johns will be favored on Saturday evening by a joint debato of the proposed constitutional amendment for state wide Prohibition at tho hands of two great leaders in this fight, both men of ability and eloquence for their respec tive aide. Dr. Wilson and Col. Hofer debated this question in 1910, and are going over tho wholo stato speaking twice a day and Sundays before the largest audiences, in Portland drawing a larger crowd than Billy Sunday. Dr. Wilson is the national secretary of the M. E. church temperance society, and Col. Hofer is one of the most prominent newspaper men on the Pacific coast. Neither of these men would champion tho opposito from what they ad- vocato for pay, hence they aro absolutely sincere in their con victions. Tho debato Is one of the most exciting events in this campaign. It will be a street meeting if tho weather is pleasant.

Mrs. Julius Markvvart, TOURNAMENT Of Firemen on Labor Day Was a Big Success Tho Firemen's Tournament held in St. Johns on Labor Day, despite threatening weather and intermittent Bhower, was a hicrhly interesting ovent. It was unfortunate that tho weather man. after 74 days of dry weath er should finally decide that Labor Day would be a good one with which to terminate tho ex tended dry spell. It is behoved that the crowd in St. Johns was reduced by several thousand on account of the weather. As It was. however, a good time hap pencd in St. Johns, and a large crowd of visitors were within our gates. The city was most beautifully decorated for the oc casion nnd many complimentary remarks were made unon its an pearance. Tho races were all In teresting and exciting, and the crowd remained with them all the afternoon. Tho dancing in tho evening was most enjoyable. and participated in by n large number of lovers of dancing. Tho streets, however, were quite slippery from the min, and In consequence mnny who would have availed themselves of the opportunity refrained from par ticipating. Tho parade, headed by Muyor Vincent. Chief of Police Poff and C. S. Currln, president of the St. Johns fire department, in an nutomobilo started at about 10:30 a. m. and proceeded through the principnl streets of tho city. Tho order of tho marchers was as follows: City officials of St. Johns in auto. Members of St. Johns fire de partment in aulos, headed by Leo Cormany, chief.

Oregon City firo department. St. Johna Fraternnl Brother hood. St. Johns Bachelor club. Gresham girls' hose team gave an exhibition drill following tho parade that was exceedingly in teresting. Tho girls ran 100 yards with 150 feet of hose, broke tho coupling, made two connections and got water in tho fast time of 227 seconds. In a second trial their time was 29 seconds. Tho contests in tho afternoon were judged uy waiter dine, Fred Fortuno and L. Runich. Battalion Chief Holden of Port land was starter, and several other Portland firemen assisted.

Horskey box test Oregon Citv 16 seconds; St. Johns 6; Cor- yallis 7 seconds, Prize, trumpet After the Storm . Once in a while a great elec tric storm comes up, as it were out of the lake, and passes over the city. It comes heralded by a fierce galo of wind and with the blaze of lightnings and tho clamors of the thunder the rain comes down as though another flood was upon, us and for the moment it would almost seem as though tho world was re solved, back Into chaos. Then tho storm passes on and raves and roars against the fortresses of the great Wasatch range, ex hausting its fury upon them. But in the meantime the sun comes out in tho west, turns every bit of metal its beams striko in tho,. city, into gold, and in tho. east above the bank of clouds nndtho fury of tho storm, paints a, glorified rain bow on tho eastern sky. Just now attiar more terrible htorm is raging over half of Europe. In Italpath arc dpvast- smoking cltlcs,.dlsmiintled forts, overfilled hospitals nnd long windrows of dead men tho strength and glory of half a dozen nntions. i Whcro the storm is raging, all is chaos, but as it passes will any bow of promise shino out on the shuddering sky? It is too soon to nrcdict.jbut we believe uiuru win. s, Wo bellevo it will shino out over The naguo and give the comrrcss gathered there a solemnity, a dignity nnd a power that it never possessed before; that tho final result will bo thnt no future war lean be, as the present one was, precipitated upon tho world as this ono was almost in n day.? It is idlo to discuss which gov ernment was toblamo for bring ing it on, uecauso tno govern ments involved hnd all been for years prenaringfor and expect ing it. They had been enlarg ing and training their armies, building more'ktndtmoro fighting ships and forts and all had been busy in seeking and making alliances with tho oxcuse thnt such means wero necessary to maintain tho balanco of power. Then there havo been ambitions Erompting rulers; there havo een nnclent wrongs nursed. raco prejudices appealed to and over all the lust of power has been a most potent f actor. To this we may add tho lust of money through commercialism. Wo believe that one of thollrst articles in the now codo will bo the prohibiting of offensive and dofonsivo alliances among na tions. Another will be that all in ternational differences must be submitted to arbitration and the Eenalty for volating this will e the forced union of other nations against tho offender. Thero will bo another clauBO imiting tho world's arnamcnts and when tho codo is completed and ratified, international wars will have been mado impossible. Goodwin's Weekly, from A. G. Long. In a special water fight exhibi tion for a first prize of $25 and a second prize of $15, St. Helens defeated a picked team from tho other departments. Tho bt. Johns nremen wero victims of unfortunate circum stances. In the New York test they made the run in 1:20 with a perfect connection, according to the unofficial timo kept by four or five gentlemen, but the judges decided that they did not lear the report of the pistol. and no official time was given. A second and third run was made by the locals, but owing to the couplings becoming ob durate did not make perfect con nections. Cecil Magone, one of their best men, slipped in the first attempt and the hose cart ran over his leg. breaking one of the bones near the ankle. In spite of the terrific strain of making three runs in tho New York test, the local firemen made splendid showings in the other contests, although some of tho decisions made seemed discrima tory against St. Johns. After the contests were con cluded, a delightful banquet was served the visiting firemen in the rooms of the Commercial club. The day was a decided success and all the visitors apparently had a fine time. The event caused an immense amount of work to fall upon the shoulders of the local firemen, but they all performed their work faithfully apd well. . NsU the Ubl en yeur papst. The Twilight Sleep The Ladles' Home Journal and many other live periodicals aro making much of the new treat ment for mothers called by romantic physicians "Twilight Sleep." A mother under the influence of this treatment ex periences no birth pains and re members nothing of the dreadful experience through which she has passed. It exerts all the beneficial effects of the old fashioned anesthetics without their dangers and their unpleas ant consequences, During tho ordeal tho drugs employed des troy all sensitiveness to pain. They even seem to do more than that. Chloroform destroys tho. sense of pain, but it does not prevent its disastrous effects on the system. Ihcse etlects ap pear ater in the form of sur gicnl shock." It is said that no surgical shock follows upon recovery from the twilight sleep. Among it blessed influences is a complete amnesia or loss of memory for the whole period of tho suffering. Tho twilight sleep, which promises to bo ono of the greatest boons ever con ferred upon womankind. Is pro duced by hypodermic injections. First there is an injection of nnrkonhen. a preparation of opium. Half an hour later tho mysician begins injecting scopn nmino and continues to admin ister this drug until tho desired anesthetic effect is obtained. Tho new trcntmcnt as first tried at Freiburg University, where it has been applied to moro than 5000 cases, all of which have been scientifically observed. Ac cording to tho reports there havo been no nccidonts nnd no bad consequences. The patients feel no pain and experience no subsequent exhaustion. Tho birth of tho child is greatly facilitated by tho absenco of thoso frightful agonies which aro the usual accompaniment of motherhood. Wo need not point out tho infiuenco of these acts upon race suicido in the years to como. should tho now treat ment stand tho test of scientific investigation it will bo of tho greatest boncfit not only to mothers, but to the whole hu man race. Oregon Inn. A Tragic Death Death camo to Mrs. Rosa Strcupcls of Seattle, Wash., on Monday in a tragic and unex pected way when, as she held out her arms toembraco her son, Edward, 12 years old, a shotgun he held was accidentally dis charged. Sho died where she fell a few moments after, tho charge striking her in the chest. Edward and his brother, Felix, 10 years old, had spent the day in tho vicinity of Lako Bal llnger, hunting and fishing. Mrs. Streupels had prepared supper for nor family, consist ing of her husband and seven children, and was wnitlng for the boys. Hearing their voices ns they approached tho homo through an alloy, she ran to meet them. When about 50 feet from her, Edward swung his gun from ono hand to tho other. Tho trigger snapped and Mrs. Streupels toppled to the ground, Tho kindly greeting with which sho had hailed her boys was changed to nn agonized cry of "I'm dying." Neighbors heard tho report of the gun and medical aid was quickly sum moned. Dr. C. W. Knudsen reached the scene two minutes after the shot, but Mrs. Streupels was dead three minutes after she fell. Edward and Felix, overwhelm ed with grief, had to be cared for by neighbors, and Isaac Streupels, their father, who was in the house, was led away by friends. Mrs. Streupels was 83 years old. The family had been in Seattle but two weeks, coming there from Lacrosse, Whitman County. The youngest child of the seven is 2 years old.

Donnelly, Ignntius Atlantis: tho antediluvian world. Is Mr. Donnelly's prophecy that future investigations would confirm his conclusions, coming truo? From tho dnys of Plato there has como down to us the tradition of a vast continent once bridging tho ocean between tho Old and tho Now World. Tho magazines this week aro discussing tho recent investiga tions of a French zoologist whoso conclusion is that tho fabled continent actually existed, that it was connected on ono side with Morocco and Portugal and on tho other at somo point on tho American continent probably Venezuela.

It is said that it was Japan that ended tho days when war correspondents were Bo's nnd not simply would-Be's. How ever that may be, Turkey had learned tho lesson by 1913 ns Mr. Farnsworth learned to his chagrin. "Next morning I presented my letter nt tho Sub lime Porte nnd was granted an interview. Tho aged minister was polite and appeared interest ed, and pleased by the protesta tions of my love for the Turks, but nothing that I could think of would move him. Jt was impossible to get to the fighting under any pretext. Even conversion to Moliamme dians would do no good."

Judson.H. P. Caesar's Army. A study of the military art of the Romans in the last days of the Republic. How much has the world learned about military science since the days of ancient Rome? "This little book is an attempt to reconstruct Caesar's army so as to give a clear idea of its composition and evolutions. War is barbarism. But the story of man has no epoch in which war has not existed. The military science of each ago is almost tho exact reflex of the civilization of that age, and no study of tho achievements of man can be complete unless we understand tho method of tho hostile collision of nations."
