! MANY HARD WORKERS
Opposition Says, the Reforms
- Proposed by It Would Aid in
.-A; Building Up the Town. . '
' The coming election at 8t Johna, ac
cording to the. political prophets of that
bustling suburb, bids fair to be closely
contested .and productive of decided
changes' In the municipal management
The prlmarlea are It days distant and
political activity ao far baa been - un
der the surface, but -the factions and
elans are beginning to come from cover
and declare themselves, - .- . -.
. There are two wards In- the town of
t Johns and - seven councilman two
from each ward and three at large; a
mayor and recorder wlu also be chosen.
Each voter ' has apparently an Idea
different from that of his neighbor's re
garding the tickets and the possible re-'
suit , of the .' election.'- It Is probable
that there will be two ticketa placed
and that two of the four following will
head these tickets as candidates for the
mayoralty: A. 8, Douglas, T. J. Mana
nan, C. A. Cook and O. V. Jobea. Mr.
Cook Is the present mayor; he and Mr,
Jobea are known aa" the leaders of the
conservatives. Adherents of the admin
1st ration say that present prosperity
should not be changed for rosy dreams,
and that aa far as possible the officials
should be re-elected. The opposition I

stituted there would be need- for' T
real estate dealers In town Instead of 17,

meri and mayor and Install progressive"
cltlsens. --. i.
Two questions loom large om the horl
son. They are cows and liquor. Whether
the St Johns oow shall be allowed to
wander at her own sweet will where
cabbages bloom and radishes blossom
and whether the gentle "bar-keep" ahalT
above the foaming lager over the bar,
or St- Johns gardens shall be 'free
from the browsing kins and St Johns'
streets Innocent of the beer saloon, are
the problems. " The : vote on tnese win
probably be close aa the saloon was In
stalled, theoretically, at the last eleo-
tloa by a majority of- eight and oa the
cow Issue the tows Is even more slightly,
divided. .- , -
a it Is Intimated that by the time the
municipal reform question, the oow
problem and the liquor dilemma get en
tangled with the, two ticketa . there
will be com plications that will probably
result in a mixed ticket .being . elected

Those who have been la both places
declare , that Portland's climate far sur
passes that of eouthern California; In
deed, they Bay there la not the slightest
reason for a comparison. . .
Mrs.' O. M. Plummar, wife of the seo-retary-treasurer

this statement She , has Just returned
from a .visit to southern Calif oral.
Mrs. Plupuner saya: -. '
. "Southern California Is much over
rated. The climate there doea not com
pare with 1 what ' we have here all the
year,, and if it ware not for the adver
tising there would be no such city as
Los Angeles.
"They ' certainly know bow to . take
care of the strangers that visit that
oountry. . In every, city that I visited
there were numerous sighs telling of tbe
attraction -.v
"They speak so much of the beauti
ful lawns and gardens that they have In
Los Angeles, and of course to the east
enters who have never been In Portland
they are quite a treat . A visit to this
city would aoon dispel the belief that
Los Angeles has any fine places at all.
Any neighborhood la Portland can ahow
their' equal and many can ahow some
thing better. If It wasn't for the tour
ists, thara-would be nothing to that coun

"While I was over to Catalina island.
a prominent man there told me that peo

"All of the committees are taking hold
of the movement for clvlo Improvement
with tremendous energy,", said W. D.
Wheelwright of the clvir Improvement
board of tbe Chamber of Commerce this
morning. "Tbey are all working bard to
get the city officials Interested In the
movement, and we hope to aooomplteh
all we have started to do."
A date for the mass meeting ot tne
cltlsens has not been - set, - but ' It wll)
be held as soon ss proper arrange
ments can be made. Work Is being done
by tha committees which mast be fin
ished before tbe mass meeting. Tbe
most appropriate- night ' will also have
to ba taken Into consideration. -
- An attempt will be made br the civic
improvement board to-have the council
pass an ordinance prohibiting wood saw-
lag - machines from operating tn the
business part of the city. - Portland la
tbe only dt,y In tbe country, it Is said.
th-WAoM talerala a atraua wood saw
ing machine-to take a stand on its most
prominent business corner and operate
for -an hour -or longer at th busiest
time of the day. Business men have
been .protesting against tbe smoke from
the engines and the sawdust from the
machines, aa.lt Is aot only troublesome
to pedestrians, bat Is damaging to goods
In the stores. There la a likelihood that
the proposed ordinance win prevent .the
wood saware from operating their ma
chines within the fire limits otthe
city. - '
sun
Among other utoasesea wbiob may be
proposed are a billboard erdlnacnoe and
an ordinance to compel property own
ers ta out weeds and brash front vacant
lots. . .. . -
Many complaints hare been leuetreg
by tbe secretary of the clvlo Improve
ment board of the unsightly and on
savory condition of the gulch at Seven
teenth and Alder streets.
Siaoe the edict - went forth from the
city englueer's ofBoe that all violations
of tbe ordinance prohibiting the promis
cuous pdlng of building material in the
streets would be strictly enforced, there
has. been a notice W change, but there
la still much to be dona, and the officials
will force the contractors aad builders
to strictly observe the law.
The police depextment has been en
forcing tbe ordinance prohibiting depos
iting goods oa the sidewalks. ,Th ar-
rt of some who refused to obey the
ordinance baa caused others to take th

WOODLAWN WORRIES'
OVER STREETCAR PLANS
Remarkable Growth of Highland,

: Districts i In Few Years.
Besldents of Wood! awn. i Highland,
Piedmont aad, Multnomah dlstrlota are
Tfflityg for betar fir protection. ' la this
large, section, which since' the promotion
of new-ear lines and the building of the
large barn on Killings-worth avenue, has
been more rapidly bunt up than any
dlatrlct of tne city, there la but on
chemical company, located at Highland
on Union avenue. This company has
charge of a district containing several
thousand population, hundreds of new
h oases erected within the last 11 months,
and business Interests and property In
cluding all of Woodlawn and Highland,
upper Williams avenue aad the various
antra rha between the city limits oa the
east aad the Willamette river.
-Firemen say that only unusual good
fortune- has saved thla large district
from disastrous fires.
'. Ia any serious fire tha Russell street
engine Would' le oalled. but It would
have a long run and a araaa cnance or
being affective. " - i ' '-
More than a year ago It was planned
to - establish . aa angina . company at
H?sti"t aad to place the - chemical
either at Woodlawn or oa Wll llama ave
nue. "To thla end Ore plugs were placed
thxourhout the Piedmont . district and
arrangements were started for an ef
ficient system of alarms, bat lacs: or
funds stopped the work, aad the lonely
chemical with.' two firemen still haa the
field. - ". ' "
,, In this entire, district there are only
six fire alarm boxes; - and aa tbe ma
jority of the telephones are party liars
tbe delay mcldant to calling ue eosa
pany Is often oonsaderable.
In this section more than 10 booses
are being boll t. each ooattng snore than
ll.SvQ, and many smaller residences
The majority of these will hare praette

individually many are mveartlgnrtlng.

WOODUWB ANXIOUS. .
Woodlawn people are. anxious to know
what the street oar oompany wUI do for
them. .
Tbey 'fear they will ba left eat la the
general abakeup, and that th car barns
wUl .be taken away. Instead of being
added to, aad this has had a serious ef
fect oa the growth of tha suburb. , 1
Wben Union avenue . waa broadened
aad lengthened last year Woodlawn took
a leap ahead ami i new b
erected there, later when the cotiaoalda
tlon came, and the big baf waa erastod
at the head of Michigan avenue the
bulkUng stopped and the departure of
the carmen to new Piedmont homes In
creased the panic.
As yet th outcome is uncertain, but
some of -the residents of th suburb.
who have taken tbe question ap . with
conrpaay ofnciala, havs been in
formed that for tbe present- no Chang
win be made, that th place wfll be the
chief point on th Vancouver line, and
that tbe last crews off for th night will
report then. Tha mat point waa the
one which most affected th tesldenta.
and which determined th abiding place
of the company's employes, who form a
large proportion of Woodlawn a popula
tion.. :t "I . .V .".'-
Those who has their hopes on con
stant and through ear traXCIo on BUI'
llngsworth. avenue, between Williams
and Union avenues, ar doomed to disap
pointment despite the fact that a line
has been laid oa the street and la ready
for operation. The only use of th line.
according to company officials, will be to
enable Union avenae cars to reach the
new barn at tbe head of Mlohlgan ave
nue, , The line ia a single track affair;
light rails were used and evidently there
was no intention on the part of the com
pany to use It to send 8C Johns cars
over Union avenue as was at first sup
posed. ;
The grading and macadam bung of the
section between Union avenue and Wll-
a venue- and Russell and Morris
streets Is being carried forward rapidly.
