1(1 THE HIBHT
East Side Thief, Not-Satisfied
; With Blooms, Took Entire

YARDS DESECRATED
.l: i BY BOLD ROBBER
Citizens Awmk to Find Ugly Holes
in Ground and . Mutilated Lawns
Where Kose Bushes and Flowers
Had Been Bcf5ra.
. Tb aat. aid hu produoad a motley
collection of crlmlnala. from the sancti
monioaa thief who stol a pryer-boolt
from an Mat alda choreh to tha hobo
', that tried to set a war with a Southern
Pacific locomotlva. But It fall to tha
- anbarb of North IrrlngtOB to product
the moat unique apaelmen of tha pilfer
ing gantry ret reported. A number of
Irvitifton reatdenta awoke reaterday
. Riornlnr to find thctr yarde atrlpped of
their flnaat apaclmena of roeebuahea.
'Tha planta had been pulled up by the
roota. . One. man reported the loaa of
laereral handaomo American Beautlea.
another miaaed a pair of Marechal Nella.
In all a half dosen yarda ' had been
raided by the roae-lovlna; thief.
A number of Inatancea of roae ateal
ln hare been reported In tha paat few
montha on tha aaat aide, but tha thief
waa alwaya eonalderata enough to leara
tha buah, taking only the flowera.
"It la bad enough to loae our flow
era," aald one of the eufferera, "bat te
have our flower garden! literally de
atroyed In thla way la too much."
It la aald that the realdenta ofthat
portion of tha aaat aide will probably
employ a, guard to protect their flower
gardena of auch depredatlona.
Tha tangle between tha city council
of Bt Johna and the Pacific SUtei
Telephone company oyer the franchlaa
queatlon aeeme In a fair way to be aet
tied next Tueaday evening at the meet
ing of the council. The St. Johna Com
mercial club met laat night and decided
to recommend to the council that a
franchlaa be granted tha company for
11 years, that a charge of 1 centa per
month per phone be paid by the tele
phone company Into tha city treasury,
and that tha company be required to
eatabllah a central atatlon In St. Johna
within a reaaonable length Of time, to
be determined hereafter.
At tha laat meeting of tha council
It-waa -voted to requeat the Commercial
club to hold an open meeting for the
purpose of dlaouaalng tha telephone
franchlaa . queatlon with a view to as
certaining the aenthnent of the people.
The flrat motion made In the Commer
cial club meeting laat night waa that
charge of 10 centa per month per
phone be charged for tha franchlaa.
Manager Hickman of the company, who
waa present, frankly told the club that
the charge waa prepoeteroua. that the
company could not stand It Tha propo
altlon waa then made to giro the fran
chlaa without charge. Thla motion waa
oppoaed by Mayor" Valentine and other
members of the city government 11'
nally. Councilman King moved that a
charge of 2 H centa per phone per month
be recommended to the council as a
proper charge. Mayor Valentine and
Willie - Moxon spoke in favor of thla
motion,' which waa almost unanimously
adopted.
Thla controversy, which has been on
for several montha, will probably be Bat
tled now In a manner entirely satlafao
tory to all parties concerned. .
Vancouver, Washington,, the largeat
and one of the moat epterprlalng of tha
east alde'a suburbs, is wrestling with
the problem, whether it 'la batter to
have a "Queen of the Day" or "Miss
Columbia," aa tha chief attraction of
the Fourth of July celebration. : The
committee appointed to maka tha nec
essary arrangements for the celebration
announced that tha queen waa the cor
rect thing. - In accordance with thla de
cision one of the .popular young ladlea
was choaen for the part - An allowance
waa made to her by the committee with
which to provide the royal gown' and
other necessary arrangements were
made to celebrate the nation's natal day
with a stage aetting of royalty. But
auch waa not to be. The patrlotlo aoul
of one of Vancouver's editors flamed
with 1 Indignation at the thought - Double-leaded
editorials, denouncing . - the
treaaonaMS committee,- came thick and
faat "Vox PopulL" "Old Subscriber"
and "Constant Reader" got In their work
by holding the- committee up to tha
acorn of patriotic Vancouver, 1
The announcement waa made laat
night that tha editor had won; that tha
committee waa in full retreat ' Today
Vancouver la quieting down with the
prospect of an old-faahloned celebration
with the time-honored "Ooddeea of Lib
erty", and the, "aoreamlng eagle" as the
principal attractions.
Tha attorneys for Morris Brothers,
bond brokers, who bought the 110,000
Issue of St Johns bonds, discovered that
the ordinance authorising the sale of
tha bonds was defective. In that the
word "maintenance'' was used, where
the word "equipment" was Intended. It
will not be neceaaary .to hold another
bond election, aa that part of the pro
cedure waa found to be correct but It
will be necessary to draft a new ordl
nance authorising a new advertisement
of the bonds. New bida will have to be
submitted.- There -will- be -a - delay ef
several weeka in - getting the money
with which to begin the erection of the
Bt Johna lty hau.
Tha bond a were bid In by Morria
Brathera of Portland 'at a premium of
11,100. , Tha existence of the error waa
explained to the council at the Tues
day evening meeting. That the bonds
wars not to be taken and paid for at
once was a disappointment to the coun
ell, alnoe the purchasing firm had pro
nounced everything etratght and legal.
No serious trouble Is apprehended be
yond , an annoying . delay. Plana for
the city hall are ready and bids will
be called for In a short time. . -
