ried to petlUon the legislature that the
city of St. Johns might be empowered
to build, operate and maintain -. free

Another motion was also carried au
thorizing the circulation of a second
petition, asking, for subscriptions to
cover the expense of bringing the mat
ter before the legislature and the In
cidental expenses ; connected with the
transmission of such a petition. II Is
to be hoped that now that publld In
terest has been aroused that the matter
will not be allowed to drop, ' - v(

It is expected that the eltlaens will
pull together towards endeavoring to
acquire what 'will be a tremendously
valuable asset to the city and that they
will thereafter not rest content until
they have made the municipal docks
and warehouses second only in. import
ance to those of Portland to which
their geographical position must make
them eventually not only a valuable
adjunct, but the keynote of the pen
insula. w '':.:: .; ''j"'.(:';ff"V:' ''"'
The Mount Hood Railway company is

Considerable speculation Is rife as
to the position of J. C Couch and his
chance of succeeding to the legislature
without further election in the event
that Rushlight resigns Ws position in
the very near future. Mr. Couch headed
the Ust of the unsuccessful candidates
and it is thought only Just that he
should succeed to Rushlight's vacancy
without the annoyance and expense of
a future election, v
