The bill allowing merger of adjoining cities and abolishment of charters has passed ooth houses. Sneaker Sol ing, how ever, refused to favor the bill because he did no: like the emergency clause attached and knew that the emergency as signed did not exist. D. C. Lewis introduced and champion ed the bill. Of course Mr. Lewis is not in favor of consul idating Portland and St. Johns. because he has repeatedly stuted that a commission form of gov' erment is not successful, and surely he would not have us abolish our ideal form of goV' erment for one that he so strong ly condemns. If the matter of consolidation comes to u vote we shall expect to see Air. Lewis tako off his coat and devote his spare time in convincing the people of St. Johns that they should let well enough alone.nnd keep our own government rather than accept the unsatisfying commission form of Portland. Of course ho only introduced tho bill upon request of somo of his constituents, and he really does not believe the public health of St. Johns would have been menaced if tho emergency clause had been omitted. The peoplo of St. Johns cannot help but ndmiro the "boost" our representative in the Legisla ture bus given the city when he udded an emergency clause to ttio bill declaring that public health demanded that it become a law upon passage. Hut then. perhaps, he did not realize the reflection it might cast upon the city of St. Johns. 1 n 11 UN WL-F8THIC obbbbbbbw 1 rrn- 1 ir ir - 1 1 11 t. ;k walls a. fxj n Strong locks is the: safe: place to hide YOUR MONEY PUT YOUR MONEY IN OUR.

Although Mr. G. W. Munson carefully sidesteps these questions and statement of fact, yet in a sophistical jumble of words he presumes to criticise yours truly. The crux of my contention on the subject of this roadway is tho stretching of a legal point by tho council in diverting city funds for the building of tuc, That I nm correct in residents of St. Johns or of Portland. I admit I have often differed with the city dads, but I did not know until I read you paper, that one of their functions or powers was to say whether the citizens of St. Johns should re main citizens of St. Johns in a government by themselves, or whether they might determine by the ballot at a fair election.

Tho home newspaper is a social and intellectual thing as well as a medium of business. One can not serve tho community better than by seeing that interesting items get to the editor. The editor is no mind render: call hfcn up and tell him. To do so is the neighborly thing, tho kindly thing a courtesy not to tho publisher alono but to every one in tho district who might bo interested in your little item." Whonevor Eric W.

Hy a sue cessful community," Mr. Allen means not merely tho community whoso businoss men nro Miros poring, nnd whoso laborers are nil nt work, but tho community that is n real social and into lectunl center. Ho looks to the homo paper as tho most power ful means within reach of bring ing about this kind of "sue cess." it you can once get nil your peoplo into tho way of volun tarily pouring these interesting scraps of news into tho weekly paper, you will add immensely to tho go n oral friendliness of tho community," snys Mr. Al Ion.

"un,!i,. .. i..ni introducing tho bill. point may have been stretched I ,,ad on'.10 do with the hnsto he in building tho roadway." etc. Had this gentleman been a man of logic instead of words ho would not lmvo let tho cat out of the bag in this manner. If tho council can stretch n legal point for n $0,000 roadway to a (proposed) coopornge, what guarantee havo tho taxpayers that they will not stretch nn- other point for a SGO.OOO road- way to a proposed skating rink for old maids Hero is what 1 said about tho 0,000 roadway under discussion: Question No. 1 "Gentlemen, would you kind ly inform tho public whero you got authority to spend $0,000 for tho road to tho (proposed) cooperagoV" Question No. 2 "Aro wo not paying interest on this moneyV" Question No. a "Does the council possess security or assurance that this (proposed) cooperage will ever materialize?" Will you please answer these questions, Mr, G. W. Munson? When you get through answer my statement of fact which was, "as I read the city charter tho taxpayers are to bo consulted before city fund nro spent." As to tho Munsonie bunclits that aro toj accruo to bt. Johns from tins $0,000 rondwny may this not be lmvo not agreed exercised, and more particularly with tho emergency clause at tached to the consolidation bill. Wo do not criticise Mr. Lewis for introducing tho bill, because if it follows out the meaning of tho measuro voted upon by the peoplo last Fall, no ono could well object to it. But wo do question the reason assigned for tho emergency clause, which is, as wo understand irom press reports, in tho interest of pub lie health. As a matter of fact, no emergency exists. Tho pub lie health of no pluco in tho state is menaced by tho bill not becoming n luw immediately upon its passage, and assuredly not bt. Johns. Mr. Lewis says: "I have often di lie red with tho city dads, but I did not know until I read your paper that one of their functions or powers was to say whether the citizens of bt. Johns should remain citizens of St. Johns." No, nnd ho never knew such to bo tho case after ho read tho paper, for it con tained no such allusion or infer ence. It merely remarked, "Hut then Mr. Lewis and city council havo not always agreed, perhaps." Mr. Lowis says they MULTNOMAH THEATRE TO GIVE PRIZES Bluest Voting Contest Ever Inaugurated In It Johns Will Commence Monday, Jin. 2S .1. i. mi t nnouier pipe ureauu ncruis this Western Cooperage Corn- plant that you writo so glibly about located, Mr. Mun son, and how many men does it omploy? Did you not havo a committee pipe dream that tho Port of Portland was going to pay n large part of this $0,000?, Did they do it? A frog onco spit on a block of ice and said that will make a fine ire when it lights. Tho frog in question is Mr. 'Munson'8 Western Co operago Company's plant. As to mo not having tho welfare of St. Johns nt heart, Mr. G. W. Munson is welcome to his opinion. Although I nm not, nor havo I any ntention of be coming n member of tho Com-" mercinl Club, yet my record of over ten years working for the upbuilding of tho city will nt least equal that of ono Mr. G. W. Munson. C. J. Andorson. is correct. willing to Mr, Lowis. So the remark Wo nro perfectly let tho peoplo rule, BUYITT-Q-DAY Anderson Makes Reply Pleased With Criticism Editor Review: In your issue of tho 15th mst. Mr. U. W. Munson assumes two roles. In ono he appears as defender of tho city council, spending $0,000 on tho roadway to tho (pro posed) cooperage, and in the other ho holds the stage as critic of tho writer. The gentle man's letter in tho aforesaid issue is as long on words us it is short on logic. On tho sub ject of tho Gatton tract it is true that I attacked the city council. That said attack was justified was proven by said body refusing to purchase this property. On the subject of Editor Review: With pleas ure 1 havo just finished your criticism of my conduct in that I havo introduced a measuro permitting cities to merge. Ono would naturally concludo from reading your paper that I had a measuro compelling St. Johns to become a part of Port land, and tho very opposite is tho case. My measuro is simply ono to carry muo etlect tho pro visions of tho constitution per mitting tho peoplo themselves to say what they want. Aro you afraid of peoplo rulo?

A trip to Cali fornia is another of the prizes that will bo givon to tho lucky girl or lady that wins it. Whnt lady or girl in bt. Johns would not liko to mnko this trip to tho big Exposition. Three dia mond rings will also be in tho list of prizes. Three scholar ships are amongst tho prizes that will bo given. Theso scholarships will bo in Tho Holmes Business College, tho leading Business College of tho Coast,1 and will be probably the best prizes that will be given in tho contest, ns a business education is tho best thing that a young lady can possibly se cure as she is nt nil times in dependent of lifo's vicissitudes. A watch is also ono of the prizes to be given. A hand some brooch is also on tho list and is n beauty. Three gem set lavaliers with gold chains nro nmongst the smaller prizes. At present wo are announcing fif teen prizes. If more candidates enter the contest than we havo prizes wo will add more prizes so that each and every active candidate will positively get a prize. ORGANIZATION PRIZE.

Tho candidate may select any lodge, church, school, club, or union as her choice to give tho Kimball piano to in case sho should win the grand prize. Any lodge, church or other organization will give you their support in this contest as in case you should win the player they will get a Kimball for their organization. All they hnvo to do to get the piano is to give you their support in tho contest. livery ono in bt. Johns goes to the Multnomah Theatre.
