COUNCIL MEET
Matters of Importance
Receive Attention
All members were present at
the regit! in meeting of the city
council Tuesday evening with
Mnyor Vincent presiding.
Reports of the chief of police,
citv recorder nnd city treasurer
for the month of March were
read and accented.
The canvassers' report of the

Appreciation
I desire at this time to public
ly express my appreciation and
thanks to the people of this city
for the splendid vote that I re
ceived at the recent election,
nnd am especially grateful to
thoso who supported mi who fa
vored merging with the city of
Portland, as I fool that under
tho intonscness of the issuo and
rumors that woro circulated
questioning what I would do
should 1 bo elected and morgcr
carried I feel more than doubly
grnti(ed as it required no little
amount of courage and faith in
mo to vote to merge and at the
same time vote for a candidate
who was opposed to tho issue.
It indicates that no little degree
of confidence was therein repos
ed and that your wishes would
bo carried out irrespective of
my personal feelings in tho mat
ter. And now sinco tho smoko
of battle has cleared away let us
all bo friends and come together
on a common piano and strivo to
work for our common interest.
If you hnvo a chip on our shoul
der remove it yourself. Don't
ask some one to knock it off.
It looks better to remove it and
you will feel better about it. My
principal hobby was that we
could do a3 a people that which
no others could or would do, and
I was and am yet ambitious to
have n part and reap the reward
of universal public and private
approval in the development of
a great commonwealth. Thnd.

Charles Bredeson Dead
A death that caused universal
regret in our city was that of
Chrales Bredeson, who was found
dead in bed last Saturday morn
ing. The evening previously he
had spent in working about his
garden in which he always took
particular pride, and seemed to
be in his usual good health, but
some time during the night he
passed to the world beyond, from
heart failure.
Charles Brcdcaon was born at
Mount Jlorob, Wisconsin, Jan
uary 29,1805, hence was 60 years
2 months and 3 days old at the
time of his death. Ho came to
St. Johns eight or nine years
ago, and has resided hero ever
since, his death taking place at
Iiis home, 522 Buchanan street.
Charles Bredeson wns a man
whom it was a pleasure to know.
The editor has Known htm per
sonally for the past eight years,
and were the nest of friends.
Ho was a man of strong convic
tions, which he had the courage
to express at any and all times.
Ho was a faithful friend and a
good citizen. Like all mankind
lie was not without his faults,
yet we believe no man can say
that Charles Bredeson overwent
back on a friend or did any man
a wilful Injustice. Ho has serv
ed his city both as mayor and
councilman, and served honora
bly and well. For a number of
years he was also a member of
tho local fire department, nnd
aided in making it the effective
!.. I., il
m e iigiiung uriKwiu u wiuuiiy.
He was also chief of police for
some time, and wns particularly
fearless in the discharge of his
duty. Ho was witty, genial and
thoroughly good fc ow. By
profession he followed the trnde
of blacksmithing, and wns an
artist at his work. Ho had
been employed at the dry docks
for a number of years, and was
considered to bo tho best man
that over did tho .blacksmith
work there. It is with tho most
sincere regret that wo chronicle
niH passing away.
'lho docensed is survived by
his widow, one son, Richard,
and three daughters, Misses
Gladys, Marie, and Inez. The
funeral took plnce from the
Evnngelienl church Tuesday af
ternoon at 1 o'clock, Rev. Ches

Give Oregon a Chance
The State of Oregon will erect
now buildings at Pendleton nnd
Monmouth, and other places
this year. In tho past these
buildings hnvo been erected
largely of imported material.
They have been finished nnd
equipped with products of for
eign industries.
It has been impossible to get
architects and state officials to
consider Oregon building stone.
Terra cotta and woods, metals
and marbles, have been import
ed from the ends of tho world,
Oregon has scattered public
money to help tho industries of
other states very lavishly and
left our own resourses undevel
oped. The time has come for a
show down and let us give Ore
gon clay and stone industries a
chance. Oregon has fine build-
intr stone, granites, sandstones
and basalts, and without public
contracts quarries languish. We
tmnort eastern terra cotta and
allow our own clay industries to
stagnate. We spend millions
for eastern rooting and building
paper and allow these homo in
dustries to perish. We import
hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of paints and stains and
Oregon fnctories of this sort go
broke. Wo ship in steel lor
bridcres and buildings and water
and gas pipe from tho east and
allow our steel and iron works
to stand idle with smokeless
chimneys and starving em
ployes. Pacific Coast Manufac
turer. During the coming summer
an important meeting of finan
ciers and engineers interested in
water power development will
be held in Portland.
Delegates from all the Pacific
Northwest states will be in at
tendance as well as from North
and South Dakota, Montana and
California. It is expected that
the action taken at that meet
ing will have an important bear

M. E. Church Notes
Easter Sunday was a moat de
lightful and blessed day to the
people of tho Methodist church
and to all who worshiped with
them on that day. The first ser
vice of the day was a union ser
vice of tho young people's so
cieties of all tho churches at
7:30 n. m., nnd wns led by Mr.
Baker of Portland, and was it
splendid service.
At 9:50 Sundny School, and at
11:00 turn, public service and
sermon, followed by a commun
ion service conducted by the pas
tor, Rev. Ingnlls. The evening
wiih given over 10 mo regular
Easter program given by the
several classes of the Sunday
School and was greatly enjoyed
by everyone present.
Regular services next Sunday
as usual. Tho regular official
board meeting for the month
will be held next Wednesday
eve. at 8 o'clock. Some import
ant matters need attention and
the full board should be present.
Remembor the day and the hour.
A farewell reception was ten
dored Dr. nnd Mrs. II. O. Brown
nnd daughter Alice at the church
last Tuesday evening, who are
moving uwny to near University
Park. Tho Browns are held In
highest esteem by all who know
them. They have beon most
faithful and efficient in all de
partments of the church work
and their going is a serious loss
to our working force and mem
bership. A short program was
rendered, one feature of which
was u post card shower by all
nrosont. Mrs. Brown's class of
boys were thoro in a body and
gave some class yells composed
especially for her benefit, and
it takes tho boys to give those
with a .est. One of the very
pleasing features of the program
was u poem written especially for
tho occasion by Miss Margarite
Nelson, and given in her delight
ful way. Wo are proud of our
nootosH and she has consented to
let. us publish it herewith, and JW
follows:
THE BROWNIES EVERY
WHERE. Once there was a fairy race,
Small of stature, dark of hue.
Gay of spirit, bright of smile.
Happy, loyal, kind and true.
Deeds of gladness works of love
Wrought they aa the hours
wont by,
"Givo is better than receive,"
Sang tho Brownies to the sky.
Long ago these little folk
Disappeared from off the
onrth.
No ono knows to whore they went
wnore titey enme or whence
their birth.
Fairy brownies now are gone.
Mortal brownies still we find.
Throe I'm sure you ail must
know
if you'll only lest your mind.
First is tall with smiling face,
bo co ml wears a chestnut cur
Third is quite a breesy elf.
Singer too a little girl.
Ever, ovor ready they,
