COUNCL MEETS
Matters of Importance
Receive Attention
All members were present nt
the regular meeting of the city
council Tuesday evening, with
Mayor Vincent presiding.
A petition for the installation
of a fire hydrant at the corner
of Powers street and Oregonian
avenue was referred to the
water and light committee.
The committee on securing
nrices on a motorcycle or auto
mobile that may be installed for
use of tho police department was
not ready to make report, and
on- motion of Councilman Wal-
dref they were given indefinite
time to rcnort.
Councilman Graden of the
water and light committee
recommended the installation
of an arc light at tho corner of
Scott avenue and East Rich
mond street, but tho matter
was held over for further inves
tigation. Councilman Davis reported
that the approach to tho city
dock needed renewing, and tho
engineer was directed to have
samo placed in proper condition.
Tho recorder was directed to
advertiso for bids on rewiring
at tho ferry slip.
Reports of tho city recorder,
city treasurer and chief of police
were read and accepted. The
treasurer's report showed over
$8,000 in thafcenernl fund.
Bills amounting to $1097.03
wore allowed, all voting yes
with tho exception of Council
man Graden, who objected to
paying $35 for destroying bees
belonging to S. II. Greene by a
weed fire several weeks ago.
He contended that tho amount
was exorbitant. Four scaps of
bees, a couple of empty hives,
some . fonco and a shed over the
hives, besides tho'honoy con
tained therein wore tho items
for which pay was asked. Tho
bill presented was for $G1, and
tho council allowed the sum of
$85.
The following bids were re
ceived on installing bathing ap
paratus in tho firemen's room:
J. B. Fletcher, $91.55: J. J. Mc
Cari, $114; Gilbort Overstreet,
$87.50. Tho bid of tho latter be-
Ing tho lowest, ho was awarded
the contract.
Improvement bonds totalling
$26,016.9-1 were bid for at par
and accrued interest by tho First
National and Peninsula National
Banks of St. Johns, each bidding
for a portion of tho bonds. Tho
bids were accepted.
An ordinanco requiring regis
ters, to be kept at hotels, room
ing houses, etc., for the purpose
of V keeping records of guests,
was passed, as was also an or
dinance prohibiting tho removnl
of dead bodies from St. Johns
without tho consent of relatives
or friends.
?An ordinance prohibiting pub
lie work on the streets on Sun
day without the consent of the
city council passed first and sec
ond readings and was held over
for slight alteration.
A resolution providing for tho
improvement of Columbia boule
vard between Jersey and Daw
son streets with standard con
crete paving was adopted.
Tho matter of rebate on water
rates was discussed to some ex
tent, and tho city attorney re
marked that ho had had a con
ference with Commissioner
Atchison in this regard, and he
stated that the matter of rebate
was not embodied in the Com
mission's ruling; that it was a
matter between the consumer
and the water company to solve.
All teachers in Multnomah
county have been offered assist
ance from the University of Ore
gon in covering the required
work from the new State Read
ing List, the offer having just
been received at the office of
County Supt. of Schools, A. P.
Armstrong, The superintend
ent, under section 24 of the school
laws of Oregon for 1913, may
not register any teacher until he
is satisfied that at least one of
the State Reading List books
has been covered. The state
university suggests that because
of pressure of other work,
county superintendents may find
supervision of this sort difficult.
It has therefore prepared study
helps, and is ready to assist the
superintendent and the teachers
in any of several ways.

He knows that there are kiddos
in every town. He meets them

Dangerous Amendment
Among tho dangerous amend
ments to the constitution that
are found among the 29 meas
ures on the Oregon ballot is one
proposing to take over in the
name of the state all lands be
tween high and low water on
navigable streams. The amend
ment proposes to take over the
beds of navigable streams at
"bankfull stage" or the llood
stage of all such streamB or tidal
estuaries, on which dro now
erected many industries and log
ging booms.
That this amendment would
unsettle the titles to some of the
crcatest and most valuable in
dustrial properties in the state
is easy to be seen. It would in
volve such properties in litiga
tion nnd create another commiB
Bion in every county and city to
whom all industries on nnvlg
able streams would bo under
obligation for their existence.
An immense amount of litiga
tion would follow and in the
meantime capital would not in
vest in industries thus affected.
This is ono of many political
devices to create positions nnd
make business for tho unem
ployed lawyers in all cities on
navigable streams.
Capital seeking investment in
industries on navigable waters
would simply bo diverted from
Oregon to the north banks of
the Columbia river or elsewhere
to avoid the entanglements of
tho law and get more secure
basis for investment.
The amendment not only des
troys tho right of access to the
navigable streams on tho part
of tho upland owner which he
now has, but it would compel
tho promoters of any industry
seeing a location on such wntcrs
to open negotiations with a local
body of politicians boforo pur
chasing a site for an industry.
This amendment should go into
the ruck with others that are
all calculated to make it difficult
and dangerous to establish now
industries at tho very place
where wo should have tliem,
whero rail and water transporta
tion meet.-- Industrial Ncwh
Bureau.
Marks for Schemers
Oregon Industry nnd thrlft.lt
seems, are tho particular mnrks
against which tlio schemers and
tho tinkercrs are directing their
shafts this Fall. Tho man who
Is trying to mnko n living for
himself and his family and to
put a little money by in the bank
for n rainy doy iB threatened
with a universal, eight hour law
that will not permit even his
children to work more than eight
hours out of tho twenty-four. If
he is a farmer this law, if It is
approved by the people In No
vember, will mean that ho will
either have to quit business or
reduco his operations to tho
point whero ho can do every
thing himself.
As if this were not enough,
we aro asked to vote on a law to
provide work at state expense
for all tho unemployed of every
state and of every clime. If it
should bo enacted tho brake
beams and the bumpers and the
car tops of every train coming
into tho state would bo jammed
with floaters rushing in to get a
nice, soft job at the state's ex
pense. The word would go out
far and wide that all that was
necessary to tide over tho win
ter was to get to Oregon, wero
tho state furnised a job for
everybody. The problem of the
unemployed of all tho other
states would be solved, and Ore
gon would be the goat. Eugene

A movement has been started
by the Oregon Jersey Cattle
Club to Induce the government,
through the Bureau of Animal
Industry, to send three or four
experts into this state to assist
in tho work of inspecting the
herds as a safeguard against
tuberculosis. Under a state law
inspection of cattle for indica
tions of disease has expanded all
over the state, but the great in
crease in the size and number
of the herds is rapidly overtax
ing the state force. All the re
gistered herds of Jerseys in the
state are said to be entirely
healthy at the present time and
it is desired, by more thorough
inspection, to avoid all pos
sibility of infection.
Some men would not caro to

Fair Better Than Ever
Tho past week has seen the
wlndup of practically all the
county fairs to bo held in the
state this season. More than
three ouartors of the counties in
tho stnto have had an exhibit of
some sort "and in every instance
the quality of tho products
shown has been fully up to
grade, and the staging of same
has been better than ever. At
the state fair at Salem last week
there wns probably the most
notable collection ot Oregon
fruits, grains, vegetables, live
stock and manufactured articles
that has ever been shown at one
time in Oregon. Horses, cattle,
swine, poultry, sheep and pet
stock of all kinds were exhibited
bv practically overy community
in the state, and the quality and
finish of tho animals has never
been cqunllcd. One of tho un
usual features of the state fair
wbb the boyB' camp at which
were quartered the prize win

garden contests. Under the
direction of Prof. W. A. Bnrr,
of the Oregon Agricultural Col

Preliminary work on tho West

dock is progressing right along.
The dredging and filling hnb
taken longer than wns at first

bo two or three weeks yet be
fore this part of the work is
completed. Work is going on
night and day, and an immense
fill Is being made, and a good
doptli dredged for tho river boats
to land. Hall a dozen or moro
tennis havo been ndded this
week In placing tho fill in tho
proper condition for construc
tion. Tho work of erecting tho
buildings will begin boforo tho
month is out, nnd it will bo
pushed along ns vigorously as
possible. The new plant will bo
a most valuable acquisition to
tho city's industries, and St.

appropriately decorated with
maple leaves, corn stalks, nnd J
Full products. Each of the four
corners of the room was desig
nated by a name of one of the
four classes. This arrangement
served to divide the students
into four sections, and each class
acted as a contesting team in
the following events:
Standing brond grin.
High vocal jump.
Wheelbarrow race.
Three legged race.
Best class yell.
Peanut race.

the trophy, which wns an en
graved tin cup, decorated with
tho High School colors. Prizes
wore awarded to tho two best
costumed "fnrmers," and nlso
for tho best exhibit of farm pro

THE LIBRARY
Interesting Notes for the
Library Patrons
Hours 12-5:30: 7-9: Sundays.
2:30-5:30.
It is especially desirable in the
evenings to keen the library
quiet for adult readers and
students. For this renson chil
dren under twelve aro requested
to exchange their books in the
afternoons and not to visit the
library 111 the evcnlncs unless
nttended by their parentB or
other ndults.
Books received:
Cantlle nnd Jones Sun Ynt
Sen nnd the Awnkcning of
China.
"It was in the autumn of 1896
that the world first heard of Dr.
Sun Ynt Sen. A Chinese refu
gee had been kidnapped kid
napped in London; and English
men rubbed their eyes as they
read how ho had been seized In
broad daylight and wns being
held n prisoner in the Chinese
embassy, his liberty denied him,
his very life in danger. Who
does not remember the Bcnsation
the story caused, tho tense ex
citement us to the man's fate,
the wild conjectures as to tho
mode of Ills delivery? For a
day or bo tho town the whole
country, talked of little else.
And then, suddenly, Britain in
tervened! Within u few days
Sun wns released. Almost as
speedily, for tho excitement soon
subsided, he was forgotten.
But a decade and a half later
the public recalled tho strange
event. I'or, on December 29,
1911, they read tho message tell
ing tho world that this samu
refugee that had been hunted
out of his own land nnd pursued
even in England, had lived to
bo proclaimed First President of
tho Chinese Uepublic. What
had happened in the interval to
give him this unique author
ity? How had this man, poor,
obscure, unaided, achieved so
wonderful nswny over tho count
less millions of Ills fellow Celes
tials, usually deemed tho most
olusivo of mankind? To unswor
these questions so that tho pub
lic mny see Sun Ynt Son nnd tho
Chincso Revolution in their true
perspective, is to describe n
career that, alike for shoer ro
mance nnd historical importance,
has never been surpassed.

Houston Wonder Book of
Volcanoes and Earthquakes.
"To tho child hundreds of
occurrences nnd conditions are
just as wonderful as .the first
amazement of the Indian at tho
white man's deadly rille. Too
often tho education which teach
es tho why and tho whoroforo of
these mysteries removes at tho
same time the sense of wonder.
The purpose of this book is to
present the facts 01 tho physical
world in such a way that while
young people may understand
natural processes, they may still
be able to appreciate what Is
marvelous in them."
