COUNCIL MEETS
Matters of Importance
Receive Attention
Owing to the absence of
Mayor Vincent, President of the
Council Gnrlick presided nt Tues
day evening's meeting of the
city council. All members were
present with the exception of
Councilman Chndwick.
An agreement was entered in
to with the water company
whereby nil patrons having
meters installed must make n
deposit of $3, and that the com
pany would begin paying back
all excess charges paid for water
beginning December 1st, street
by street, until nil shall have
bean remitted.
T,he quarterly report of the
city. recorder was read nnd ac
. cepted.
The report of the committee
on adjustment of remonstrances
against the weed cutting penal
ties was considered and nftcr a
few alterations had been made
was accepted. The committee
consisted of S. C. Cook nnd J.
E. Tnnch.
The recorder waB directed to
notify tho Pacific States Tele
phone Company to clevato its
wires over tho Chicago Rooming
House, where they had begun to
sag too low.
A strong remonstrance was
filed against tho proposed im
provement of Columbia boule
vard, which was referred to tho
city engineer to ascertain the
amount of property represented
In the remonstrance.
Councilman Wnldref made n
motion that tho city engineer
secure an cstimato of tho phy
sical vnluo of tho plant of tho St.
Johns Water Company, nnd that
-a committco ol three bo appoint
ed to, ascertain tho lowest prico
tho company-vwould bo willing to
dispoao of sumo to tho city.
The motion carried, Councilman
Graden being tho only dissent
ing member. His contention
was that St. Johns would pos
sibly soon become n part of Port
land, and that Portland could
then deal with tho proposition.
Tho city attorney pointed out
tho fact that tho water com
pany's frnnchiso hold good oven
If Portland absorbed this city,
and thnt St. Johns could as

Nor ever failed to do his part,
Amid the fray's alarms.
The clash of steel on armored

The thunder voice of x Mars,
But called each Knight to meet
his fate,
And glory in his scars.
But, Knightly Sir, this call to
you
Is not to war or battle,
"But just to prove what you can
do
To make the dishes rattle.

Consider It Well
The neonlc will have to detcr-

November 3rd, where Oregon
will pause on this side 01 com

swarm of new public docks and
wurciiouau cuiiimiaaiuua.
The beds of navigable waters,
such as rivers, harbors, chan
nels, bays, sloughs or inlets at
bankfull stage are to no ap
propriated for public use.
P.itln.q. inwns. counties or the
state or commissions named by

nfrnnma nr tiflnl writers is to bo
revoked and taken over by tho
state. , ,
This right has been exercised
bv owners of the upland under
present laws, but in future, if
tho new amendment is auopieu
tho upland owner is cut off by
the state or city.
Tho new bankfull or tidcland
amendment will conflict with
the present port commission law,
mill in nil pities nnd five miles
on cither side of such city on
nnvignbic waters, wnarvcs.uocKs
or warehouses can only be erect
ed by leasing the land between
tho upland nnd the harbor line
or navigable channel.
Tho enactment of this tidcland
or bankfull amendment nnd the
law initiated with it would stop
m a. II
all procedures in tno puonc or
private improvement of" rivers
and harbors in Oregon.
It would cloud tlio title or in
vnlvn in Hticratlon all property
now held for wharves, docks,
warehouses and logging uooms
In this state, both in the local
and federal courts.
This new system authorizes
Mm InfriRlntnrfls of cities or the
state to lease such waterfront
property to pnvato parties to
erect docks, etc., which leaso
may bo terminated nt tho end of
ten yenrs, nnd tho lessee shall
bo under public carrier regula

Tlinsft InwH. if enacted bv the
people, attempt to destroy tho
right of access to navigablo
water and the richt of wharfage
heretofore exercised by the
owner of upland waterfront.
No wharves can bo constructed
fivo miles outside of any city
if these laws are enacted.
No wharves inside of any city
will hn rnnstrncrerl. hoenuso the
nrivato owner of upland loses
nis right of access, and the
lessee from the city must nrst
buy tho upland right.
Between tho two ownerships
and the conflicting rights no
docks, wharves, warehouses or
industries on waterfronts would
be possible.
The one net result or adopting
this "bankfull" legislation will
be to -drive all industries seek
ing new locations in tho Pacific
Mnrthwpst to tho north bank of
the Columbia river and to tho
rivers and harbors ot washing
ton, and to Puget Sound and its
northern tributaries. Do the
voters of Oregon desire such a
policy? Under the proposed
system public ownership would
ultimately displace all private
enterprises of this character.

Death of Margaret Nelson
Mnrrraret Elenore Nelson died
at her home at 81G North Edi
son street Sunday, October 25th,
at about 10:30, aged 4 years, 11
months and 15 days. She had
been ill for some time with
tubercular meningitis. About
three weeks ago she was taken
to the Good Samaritan hospital
where five specialists did all in
their power to relieve the little
girl of her illness,- but without
avail, and she was brought home
where the end came as above
stated. She was the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Nelson.
The funeral took place from the

Abolish the Senate
Portland, Oregon, Oct. 27.
Editor St. Johns Koview: As
an employe of the Legislature
and later on as a member of the
state legislative body, and be
fore that as n newspaper report
er in attendance upon numerous
sessions of the legislature, I feel
that I speak from experience
when I say that it is for the best
interests of tho people of the
state that the senate, be abolish
ed. Tho , abolishment of the state
senate will not only bo a saving
of expense, but it will create
greater efficiency in state gov
ernment. My personal opinion,
publicly expressed, is that it has
seemed to me that the chief
i'unction of the senate waa to
throttle legislation desired by
the people for the benefit of the
privilege seeking concerns.
Clubbing the members of tho
House was also a part of tho
dutieB of tho Senate. A mem
ber of tho House would get a
bill into the Senate and then was
tipped off by tho professional
lobbyists that unless ho laid
down on other measures and be
came a "good dog" thut his bill
would be killed in the Senate.
I hud a personal experience of
thnt sort myself. My bill to pro
Vide frco text books had passed
tho House and went into the
Senate. I was busily engaged
in fighting u bunch of Senate
graft bills that came into tho
House, when I was told if I did
not lny down nnd become u good
doggie, my free school book bill
would bo hamstrung.
I hnto to tell the readers of the
Review what I told this mnn.
bccmiBO they might bo shocked
nt the choice of my language.
To cut my story short, Senator
Turner Oliver whom I asked to
look after my offspring, rushed
in one day and whispered in my
ear: "They have carried out
their threat: they killed tho bill
by having it indefinitely post
poned, so no record would bo
kept of the senators killing it."
Thcro aro numerous incidents
of this kind, hnrdly worth re
peating, and it is going to con
tinue, too, unless the state sen
ate Is abolished. Have one legis
lative body so you can fix tho
responsibility, avoid duplication
of work, cut down tho expenses
nnd get better government by
voting No. 350, "Yes." "You
havo everything to gain nnd
nothing to lose. Ralph C. Clyde,
Member 1911 Legislature.
"Just ChaIR it Down"
"Just chalk it down," the poor
man said, when he had bought
some boneless bread, and many
costly things, his wifo and brood
of brains to feed- the moat of
which they didn't need as much
as you need wings. Ho buys
tho richest things in town and a
always says, "just chalk it
down, I'll pay you soon, you
bet," and payday evenings finds
him broke, his hard earned
plunks gone up in smoke, and
still ho is in debt. The man
who doesn't buy for cash lays
in all kinds of costly trash that
ho could do without; he spends
his coin before it's earned and
roars about it when it's burned
is that your way, old scout?
When comes tho day of evil luck,
the war bag does not hold a
buck to keep the wolf away; tho
"charge it" plan will work no
more at any market, shop or
store; no goods unless you pay.
The poor man for his money
sweats and he should pay for
what he gets, just when he gets
the same; then, when ho goes
his prunes to buy, and sees how
fast the nickels fly he'll dodge
the spendthrift game. If you
begin to save your stamps, some
day, with teardrops m your
lamps this writer you will thank;

A Flourishing Institution
An institution which has con

were all brought-in fromthoout
side. Its organization shortly
after tho financial flurry of 1907,
and before the country had re
covered from tho effects of the
monetary excesses that produced
that flurry, speaks well for the
confidence its promoters had in
tho future of St. Johns. It is
gratifying to note that their con
fidence has not been misplaced,
and a proof of thair. satisfaction
was shown in tho later increase
of the capital to $50,000.00, to
Which has been added an earned
surplus of $10,000.00, and both
this capital and surplus arc
working und aiding in tho devel
opment of tho city.
The business of the bank has
steadily grown.until at the pres
ent time tho institution nnd its
allied interests represent nn in
vestment of half a million dol
lars, nil of which is loaned out
in this community. The pres
ent management of tho bank, in
addition to experience of several
years in thosamo lino elsewhere,
has now hnd six years exper
ience in this city, and is well
qualified to bo of service to its
customers and friends who need
asBistanco in the enrq and devel

The bank is housed 111 a sub

Another foot ball victory is
credited to James John, Tho
gnmo won from Franklin II. S.
was a fast and interesting one.
Owing to tho fine work of our
bovs. a touchdown was mndo by
Wesley Wrinkle early in tho first
quarter. In tho next quarter
Franklin H. S. did good work,
and brought their score up to
12. while ours did not increase.
Through tho third quarter the
score remained 12 to 7, and it
looked as though the gnmo would
go to Franklin H. S. Then John
McGregor, who had been kept
out by a sprained ankle, resolv
ed to do or die, and wont into
tho game. By his spectacular
dush over the goal lino, our team
was given another touchdown.
This decision counterbalanced
tho mistake tho referee had
made earlier in the game. Bert
Sundstrom did his usual good
work by kicking tho ball straight
and sure over tho goal both
times. Both teams played a
clean, good game. The Frank
lin boys slightly outweighed the
home team.
An enthusiastic rally was held
just before the game Friday
afternoon. Mr, Fry promised a
watch fob to tho boy who re
covers the most fumbles during
this season of foot ball. From
the game with Franklin II. S.
it seems there will be many com
petitors for that watch fob.

In the middle of the summer
when manufacturers did not
know where to turn, they were
confronted with the dislocations
duo to the remade tariff, com
bined with the upward price of
wool. Where they were to get
off they didn't know. They
were obliged to make provision
for business that was six months
and more away and even the
most optimistic of them wore
fearful of the outcome. Now
every woolen mill in the country
in Oregon ns well ns elsewhere
Is running day and night and
tho problem is not how to secure
orders to keep them open but
how to command men. ma
chinery and facilities to meet
the demand which is over
whelming them. The demand
is due to tho war.
Take tho case of England. All
coloniul troops land there. They
must bo outfitted. It is utterly
impossible for England to meet
the demands thus made upon it.
It must seek help outside, and
tho only place it can go is to
America. And here it is com
ing with such overwhelming or
ders thnt it will strain this coun
try's manufacturing resources
to the uttermost to meet them.
In this prosperity Oregon is al
ready sharing nnd its share will
bo proportioned to its capacity
to produce.
