High Bridge at St. Johns
Time was when mention of a
high bridge at St. Johns was
treated ' aa n joke by many, and
something thnt might materialize
in the far distant future. Hut
times have changed, and wiiat
was once far in the future is now
in the present. The need of such
a bridge is being pretty generally
felt. Traffic nt times is congest
cd and then the wait on the ferry
boat is oftimcs disagreeable and
tiresome. The time when the fer
ry boat is off duty for boiler
cleaning is also annoying. The
ferry boat has served its pur
pose well, but now like the old
horse car, has become inadequate
in tltc march of progress. Mod
cm times demand modern con
veniences. It is time that the
ferry boat at St. Johns be replae
cd with a bridge. The west side
of the river as well as the cast
side is building up quite rapidly
ana a connecting linage Juis
grown to bo a necessity. Not
only would it be less dangerous,
but far moro satisfactory than
the ferry system. Much com
plaint Is being made of the con
Rested condition of the present
bridges over the Willamette, and
a high bridge here would do
much toward relieving that con
gestion. It would afford a rapid
means of reaching the business
district of Portland, and would
be the connecting link of one of
the most sccmu driveways in the
Northwest. Much business from
the Tualatin valley would bo di
verted hero by means of a bridge,
and the auto travel over it would
be immense. Now is the time to
boost for this structure. Every
civic organization on thu Penin
sula should endorse and cooper
ate 'in any movement tending to
ward its accomplishment, and ev
ery citizen should boost for it.
Ah we understand the matter, the
county commissioners can put
the St. Johns bridge measuro up
on the ballot at the November
election. If they have the power
to do so there seems to bo no
real reason why they should not.
There was enough money saved
when former Commissioner Muck
won his light for repairing Morri
son street bridge instead of build
ing anew to construct n bridge at
St. Johns and have money to
spare. The proposed bridge hero
is a couple of hundred feet in
heighth high enough for the tal
lest vessel to pass underneath. As

Idols and Feet of Clay
Is there no such thing as mar
ried happiness in the real life of
movie heroes and heroines! Do
these actors and actresses fake
romance so much that, thpy have
lost their capacity for the genu
iue article? Such a conclusion is
forced upon us. Today we read
of the marriage of two screen
stars and a word picture is
painted of 'their nuptials that re
minds one of the fadeaway happy
ending of one of their thrilling
II I in dramas. Tomorrow they are
in the divorce courts with stories
of scandalous escapades, infidel t
ty and cruelty hurled back and
forth. Apparently there are few
exceptions. A few days ago it
was announced that Uloria iSwau
sou and her wealthy husband had
come to the parting of the ways.
On the same page was the story
of the estrangement of Marshall
Neilaii and Blanche Sweet, who
were married not many months
ago. Yesterday nuws was flashed
of the separation of Dig Dill Hart
hero of a thousand western dime
novel scenarios, and Winifred
westover, his bride of a few
months ago. And Winifred
shatters the heroic conception of
Uitr Hill by relatmir how he be
haved like a caveman, knocking
her down and dragging her about
the rooms by the hair of her
he.ul. Verily, one by ,oni', out-
idols are revealing their feet of
clay. Astoria Hudget.
there would bo no draw, the cost
of construction would be mater
ially reduced, as well as the
maintaiuance. If it Is up to the
County Commissioners, let us
have it on thu ballot at the No
vember election. It will not be
long until it will be necessary to
construct a Hew ferry boat if the
bridge is not built, and this sav
ing together with the cost of op-
ertiou would go far toward pay
ing the interest on thu bonds.
Certain it is that the people at
tending the 1025 Pair should
have the pleasure of. traveling
over a high bridge at St. Johns.

care much about the future, but
it seems as if she is always quite

OBSERVATIONS
(By our Unobserved Observer)
Yu mcrrie hop pickers nre now
wending their way southward
seeking henlth, wealth nnd hap
piness. St. Johns is not a good place
for pessimists, and yet it is the
very best place for anyone who
wants to worry a lot and build a
house on it.
Piles of sand, gravel and luin-
her do not add to the attractive
ness of the Ntrcets. but they furn
ish proof that we are returning to
normalcy in a way that is very
sutislactory.
Tho number of nutomobiles and
trucks carried across the river
daily by the St. Johns ferry is
aiii'in'iaiug nun nimcaics a sun
stautial increase in business ac
tivity. A great many of our city
dwellers are starting on their va
cation trips this week. Some are
going to the coast, while others
will seek rest "far from the mad
ding crowd's ignoble strife" by
sojourning for a few days among
tho mountains.
When will the high bridge be
built? This finest ion asks itself
continually and it may not be
easily answered, and yet if tho
people of the lower peniisula will
but pull together, puttintr enerirv
nnd hopefulness into the effort,
tho great structure that will span
the Willamette river at. St .Johns
may soon begin to rise. The great
benefits that come to a communi
ty nre usually secured through
persistent effort intelligently di
rected. An eastern paper tells of a man
who "named his automobile
"True Love," because it doesn't
run hiiiuci. and another who
chrisfened his ear "hotta," with
the explanation that it either was
