Wzvl. Vote on ths Saloon Question. The troublesome problem of disposing of the question of Issuing licenses to Jell liquor in St. Johns will be relegated to the decision of the people at the special elec tion May 22, when the bond question will be voted on. However, the vote of the people on the llquorvquestion is not at all binding on the Council, and It may grant all the applications for licenses or reject them all as it sees fit. The vote Is merely to draw out the sentiment of the people on the subject. It Is said that a majority of the present Council Is opposed to Is suing saloon licenses, and will not act favorably on any of the applications If there be any other way to obtain revenue to run the city government.

Because Candidate Merrill wrote letters to city employes asking for their votes and promising if he was elected to try' to raise their salaries, he is charged with having violated tho terms of the city charter in such a way that he has made himself liable to bribery punishment either by a fine of between $50 and $100) or by Imprisonment of from ten days to two years, or by both fine and imprison ment. The charter contains a very strict and specific prohibition against a public offi cer's seeking a nomination or appoint ment for any public office and using, or promising to .use, any official author ity (whether then possessed or merely an ticipated) in the way of conferring on any person promotion or Increase of sal ary on consideration that that person hall give his vote or political Influence in behalf of any candidate. Such person, says the charter, "shall be deemed guilty of bribery or an attempt at bribery." Merrill says that his enemies have trumped up an Imaginary charge for campaign purposes, and thfit he has the right of any citizen running for office to promise to secure city employes more ad equate salaries. Merrill's enemies have brought the mat ter to the attention of District Attorney Manning, who will look Into It today. Members of the City Council whom Mer rill grilled at last Wednesday's meeting are interested in the outcome of the Dis trict Attorney's investigation. NO DELEGATION COMING.

It will not be surpris ing, however, to those nbo know him during the 3." years since he was born on Yamhill street.

George J. Cameron, hIjo a can didate, has agreed to appoint Frank Hennessy, his clerk. If elected, and has ob tained the indorsement of the liquor organisations, and Otto Julius Kraemer has agreed to reappoint the present Police Court Clerk and has obtained the endorse ment of a factional club and the signatures of. as he says. 137 of the -130 gentle men entitled to practice law. (Why didn't the other SCO sign the petition and will the 1ST vote for him?) Mr. Ferrer circulated no petition except the one required by the primary law; has agreed to give the clerkship to no one; has made no deal ixlth any set of law yers; Is rot- tied to the liquor or any religious organization, nor to any political faction, and has In fact incc announcing his candidacy stated that he desired the endorsement of no clique or clan, as he could not and would not sacrifice his honor and violate his oath of office or do that which would be and Is necessary in order to stand in with any set of men who might endorse him. Mr. Ferrera wili receive the rusport of that vast number of the citizens that expects only a fair, courteous and decent administration of the office without considering the special interests of any set of men or organizations, and If he is elected, the Municipal Court will be looked upon no longer as a kangaroo court, but a court where Justice is at all times dUpensed. irrespective of religion, political affiliation, place of birth or the wealth or poverty of the Individual charged with the violation of an ordinance or law. the baseball dance of Leonart, the nov elty step dancer.

Cal., May L A special from HolbrHk, Ariz., says: The flood waters of the Little Colorado River reached their highest here at 3 A. M. to day, and began -slowly receding. At this hour it has fallen four feet, and all dan ger appears to be past The damage to Holbrook will be slight, but the town was saved by a very narrow margin, the river cutting to within 10 feet of the residences. The waters are still wearing away the banks next to the town, however, and all hands today are working to stop the cut ting. Wool bags are being filled witji sand and dropped over the bank into the river, forming a rip-rap. At 1 o'clock this morning the Little Col orado River, normally a stream of Insig nificant proportions, was a raging torrent four miles wide, and filled to the edges with debris of all descriptions from the valley above. The loss to the SL Johns community, where the first dam gave way. Is esti mated at from $300,000 to J250.00). The damage at Woodruff, below St. Johns, where the second dam was carried out, and the country surrounding it, is esti mated at about $100.(0). The rich valley of the Little Colorado has suffered almost irreparably. The loss will fall chiefly on farmers and ranchers of the valley, and will total several hun dred thousand dollars. It is likely that the coimtry has been so devastated that crops for the coming season will be an impossibility. So far as known, there has been no loss 'of life, with the exception of the one Mex ican. The Inhabitants of Holbrook are return ing to the city, and by noon the town re sumed its normal appearance. . "OUR ISLANDS." Several seta of "Our Islanns' for -sals cheap.
