WH
INNERS AT ST. JOHNS.
Shortly before 11 o'cloclc last night
the complete returns from the mu
nicipal election In the new City of St.
Johns showed that the following; of
floors had been chosen to serve for the
ensuing two years:

ond Ward: J. H. Shield (Good Gov
ernment) and" H. W. Brlce (on all
tickets).
Following announcement of the result,
Mr. King was congratulated by the other
candidates on his election as Mayor. He
has lived in St Johns for two years, is
a large property owner and one o the
foremost members of the St. Johns Com
mercial Club. He is a careful and yet
progressive citizen, and the people of
St. Johns could hardly have selected a
better man for the office of Mayor at this
time.
At a late hour last night the streets
were thronged wltii people. The band
played a few selections and fish horns
made the air ring with discordant noises,
and very few people in SL Johns retired
until after midnight. The contest was
close, but was distinguished by the ab
sence of unpleasant feeling. S. IT.Green.

the votes were counted that he should re

CITY OF ST. JOHNS ON
ITS ELECTION DAY
MURPHY and I have discovered the
City of St. Johns, and it ie up to the
Gedgraphical Society to put it on the map.
When we dropped, in on. St. Johns yester
day it was not wjth pencils poised in air
and note books apon and ready for busi
ness. Theja- would be no. business, said
Murphy, .because St. Johnsne had heard,
was slumbering peacefully near the rip-pllngwa-Ves
oC the Willamette and hated
to be disturbed. Never again will I be
lieve tho statements of Murphy.
When we reached St. Johns we alighted
with the firm intention of viewing the
scenery; taking a short nap and returning
to civilization by the route we had come.
Two seconds later fair Portland was but
a memory, we were making frantic grabs
for our pencils and our note books were
by far too thin. There was something
doing in St. Johns. We Immediately die
covered that natives surrounded us with
glaring banners, upon which we read
such touching things as "Vote for Blank."
and "Unto Us This Day a City is Born."
"What's doing?" idlurphy asked a na
tive. "Speak it lowly," he answered, "and
come wjth me.
I followed along in the roar with sev
eral natives imploring me to give them
attention. I saw. Murphy's friend, lead,
him to one side, button-hole "him care-

? ' -- -'
fully, poise an emphatic finger in the air
and state his case. I saw Murphy's face
grow white, and I hastened to the rescue.
"What's doing?" I asked in turn.
In Throes of Election.
Murphy's reply gave me a twinge of
sudden realization. He murmured weak
ly that SL Johns was in the throes of a
first municipal election.
Then the pencils came .out. and my ar
tistic friend and myself proceeded to get
busy. An obliging resident steered us
past the City Hall and made us acquaint
ed with a gentleman who was running
for the lucrative office of City Treasurer.
I asked to be shown.
"We're a. city," aaid the candidate. "St.
Johns may look small on the map, but the
mape are not up to date. St. Johns Is in
the race to stay. Of course we haven't
anything against Portland, but business
comes before pleasure, and If Portland
is so foolish as to locate so close to St.
Johns we can't help it If her growth is
stunted. We didn't tell her to locate
where she did."
"You're wrong," said Murphy. "Port
land is the thing; she has an Exposition."
Is a City Now.
"Yes," whispered the candjdate. "You
see, we didn't care to have the Exposition
right in the business center of St. Johns
because it might interfere with traffic,
and so we caused it to be located in our
most promising suburb. You see. St.
Johns is all riant, all right. We are a clty
now; - we've graduated from the list of
hamlets. If you don't believe it we can
show you the charter. We are having
our first municipal election. We are
choosing men. to run our affairs, and they
wil be good and excellent men. Come with
me." '
Wc followed back to the City Hall.
There were groups of men standing about
the fountain and leaning over the stone
fence discussing the state of affairs. Lines
of voters were making their way to the
booths and as they returned they helped
to swell the crowds on the outside. It was
election day for St. Johns. Murphy dis
covered that as soon as he alighted- from
the car They're closed, you know on
election days.
"Come with me." said the would-be
City Treasurer again, and we hurried to
another precinct. We were met flalf way
by a delegation.
Candidate for Mayor.
"This gentleman." said the candidate,
"is running for Mayor. He will be the
first Mayor of St. Johns."
We looked at him with due reverence.
He was a striking example of the Ameri
can patriot. Men were slinking him by
the hand and wishing him good luck.
Others slipped up on him from behind
with a knife. In some things Portland
andvSt. Johns are kin.
But the candidate for Mayor was speak
ing to us.
"When I am elected." he said, "I shall
send an ambassador to Portland and shall
endeavor always to keep the bonds of
friendship tight between that village and
St. Johns. I shall do my best, through
my ambassador, to aid Portland In get
ting for herself a few of the Army trans
ports which are to make the port of St.
Johns in the near future. We have al
ready given Portland railway commnni--cation
and in time we shall give you a
steamship line. Wc have a friendly feel
ing for Portland. You may tell your
people when you return that there will
be no strained relations between Port
land and ourselves. Portland, it is plain
to be seen, is a coming town, and while
it may never roach the prestige SL Johns
enjoys, we are sure that Portland will
bocome a credit to the state. I am glad
to sen that many of our business men
have purchased suburban homes in Port
land. It tends to bring the two places
eloper together in bonds of pure friend
ship." Hive of Industry.
And so saying the candidate for Mayor
walked majestically away. Murphy and
I escaped during the excitement caused
"by the advent of another voter, and pres
ently found ourselves on the bank of the
river. After a few minutes we were able
to look about us and make an estimation.
The estimation was such that Murphy an
nounced he was immediately going to in
vest in a building block In SL Johns. For,
in truth; St. Johns Is a place. Her inns
are all that could be "desired; her homes
are the homes of a contented and pros
perous people; her docks are scenes of
activity, and the smoke from her indus
tries obscures the opposite" hllls. Her
stores are places where clerks are not
idle, and her peopleMier people are the
best type 'of American citizen, loyal, in
dustrious, patriotic, a type that-won the
Revolution, that crossed the treelas
plains, that built cities and railroads
where naught but sagebrush and-cactus
grew before. .--
Murphy and I feel proud of th fact
that we discovered SL J6hns. It Is a cits
that will never shame the state. Her fu
ture is assured, as a glance will show,
hae is destined to grow and grow, and
this first election, held yesterday, where
there were only two voting preclnctE,
when the voters were easily numbered .by
hundreds, and the candidates were
known of all men as "Tom" or "Bill" or
"Dick," may In time give way to an
other election where the voters will be
counted by- thousands and the precincts
will be numerous. But the- candidates
who have a sho.w will always be known
of all men. because it is the .SL Johns
way. SL Johns is a beehive of industry
with the city's honor as the queen bee.
Drones have no place.
The citizens wore alive to the fact that
this first election was a most auspicious
occasion, and they turned out en masse
to do homage to the day. All newcomers
were made acquainted with the fact,
there was really something doing In St.
Johns.
Campaign of Principle.
Presently Murphy and I finished our
reveries and made our way back to the
heart of the city again. We asked an
other native the name of the next Mayor.
He told us that there were three candi
dates; that all were respected by the
people, and that the race was run on
principles. This was a species of elec
tion Murphy and I had never encoun
tered before one run on principles. I
asked Murphy what -was a principle, and
whether he would make a sketch of one.
"If you made a sketch of the man
who is elected Mayor, no matter which

"Twin" Sullivan Bests Port
lander With Jolt to Jaw.
NINE ROUNDS IS r ENOUGH
Outsider Enters Ring During Mix
Up and Grabs Sullivan, and Gen
eral Fight Inside the Ropes
Almost Results.
TACOMA. Wash., April 3. In the ninth
round of what was to have been a twenty
round fight, young Fitzsimmons (Charles
Jost). of Portland, was defeated by Jack
"Twin" Sullivan. A loft to the jaw sent
Fitzsimmons to the floor.
Throughout the bout Sullivan had the
better of the argument, although the
youngster showed good form in the fifth,
sixth and seventh, when he landed sev
eral hard punches. However. Sullivan's
greater ring experience stood him in good
stead and he was effective at critical
periods, while Fitzsimmons lowered his
guard, which gave Sullivan opportunity
to get at his jaw.
In the eighth round a free-for-all fight
almost resulted. Fitzsimmons wont down
l to the count of nine and claimed a foul.
Upon regaining his feet he rushed Sulli
van to the ropes, the latter falling. An
outsider rushed into the ring, sbizlng
Fitzsimmons, and a general mixup was
! narrowly avoided. Sullivan fouled his
opponent twice in the first two rounds,
and was warned by Referee Carroll that
a repetition would lose him the fighL
YOUNG CORBETT HITS THE AIR
Bout With Erne Cannot Receive De
cision According to Law.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 3. Young
Corbett. of Denver, and Young Erne, of
this city, sparred six rounds at the West
"Washington Sporting Club tonight. Cor
bett was fat and fought wildly, frequent
ly misjudging his distance. Many of his
blows landed on the back of his op
ponent's head. Erne, while. active, was
timid, and much of the time was wasted
in clinches and hugging.
In the third round Erne was cut over
the eye, and in the sixth Corbett's mouth
was bleeding. In the same round Cor
bett rushed Erne through the ropes. Erne
landed the greater number of blows. He
jabbed Corbett frequently and ran away
from the swings of his opponenL Cor
bett tried to stop Erne repeatedly and
several times countered, on Erne's jaw,
but his blows lacked strength. Under the
law no decision can be given In this
city, but the spectators appeared to be
of the opinion that the fight was a
dra"w.
Burns-Barry Fight Called Off.
The positive stand taken by the Clacka
mas County officials against any fighting,
and the spirit of antagonism shown on
the part of other local fistic promoters,
have discouraged Tommy Burns and Man
ager McKenna. and the proposed fight
with Dave Barry has been called off.
For a time it seemed that Portland sport3
were to be gratified in their long de
sired pleasure, but tho chances have
again gone glimmering and prospects for
an early battle between any of the fight
ers are decidedly glum, in fact, there
are none.
Burns has gone to Tacoma to see what
can be done toward securing another
match with Sullivan, and strong efforts
will be made to have a return bout In
Tacoma.

After that we concluded to hold our

We left St. Johns before the fata of the

Tennessee Derby at a mile and an eighth

the Ellison candidate, and Jack Lory, rep
resenting the stable of John' W. Carr, by
five lengths. Rams' Horn and Whlppoor

the betting.
Today's Derby was probably the richest
stake ever offered In the South, the gross
value being 510,535. of which $5,300 went
to the winner. The second race at a mile

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3.-(Special.
"My arm is in very had shape," said Joe
Corbett today, "and I don't know what is
I the matter with it. I don't know whether
it is rheumatism in the elbow or whether
I strained it. I know it hurts me every
time I throw a ball. I don't believe I
will be able to pitch a gamo against Port
land, but I hope to get in harness the
following week."
Corbett's being disabled weakens the
Seals pitching staff considerably. The
way things are now, the bulk of the work
will fall on Whalen and Wheeler. Roscoe

Arrives After Stormy Passage From

the Shipments of Rus
sian Supplies.
The British steamship Sandhurst will
be in port next Saturday to load a cargo
of hay for Tsingtau. China. She has ar
rived at Seattle from the Orient and after
taking on 13C9 tons of oats will come
around to the Columbia River. At Albers
dock are 2300 tons of double compressced
baled hay awaiting shipment on her.
The Sandhurst reached Seattle Satur
day morning after a stormy trip from
Moji. Bad weather was encountered
nearly all the way across, but no dam
age was done. It was a most uncom
fortable one for officers and crow, how
ever, as on ten of the nineteen days of
tne passage, the vessel steamed through
dense snowstorms. While skirting the
Aleutian Islands the snow was three feet
deep on the steamer's decks. The cap
tain began to think he had a "hoodoo"
on aboard, for he remembered that It was
on the 13th that he left Moji and then
he was reminded of the fact that his crew
was composed of thirteen Chinese, thir
teen Japanese and thirteen Lascars.
Nothing serious was brought on by this
unlucky number, but he will try to break
the combination by getting .away from
Portland before the 13th of the present
month.

go to a German-Chinese port, it is the

can make the connections. It was the in

ments from the coast on this account.

go and the mission of the vessel a secret.
but the capUiln made the mistake of
hoisting the red ensign to indicate that
the vessel carried explosives. The result
was that a more careful inquiry about
the steamer was made. The strange
thing about her was that she carried no
manifest. According to statements made
by members of the. crew, she had a quan
tity of explosives, small guns and other
munitions of war aboard and was bound
to Japanese ports. The United States au
thorities took up the matter and an
nounced to the master that he would not
be allowed to leave the port it he was
taking arms and ammunition to Manila,
as the importation of such articles into
the Philippines was forbidden. The cap
tain finally made affidavit before the
British Consul that the explosives in the
cargo consisted of picric acid and carbide

their first taste of this year's practice

goodly bunch present, and before darkness
settled four or five crews had been given
the preliminary instruction. Most of the

to allow Murphy constantly to overset

on the practice will be kept up dally and
all candidates for crews are urged to get
out immediately.
