PERSONAL differences have nc
righ, Of display in body chosen &c
legisla,e for a community. This u
indispu,able. every member Of tn,
council Of the city Of ST. Johns con
cedcs this. Yet personal differences
have crep, in--and to the disad
vantage Of the entire community
This point, also, is conceded.
Wha, THg REVIEW persists In
pleading for is that all these minor
differences and personalities be
settled outside the council body: the
council, in the meantime, conduct.
ing the affairs Of the city in al
impartial manner. Such course
can in no way harm those who are
antagonistic--nor lessen any weigh,
Of evidence to be brought up, later,
in the legal settlement of private
affairs.
Whatever may be the differences
of any factions or what may be
the outcome-bears no weight upon
the public acts of the public officials
of the city for the public good: and
it is along these lines that THE RE-
VIEW insists the council should act.
This body of men was chosen be-
cause the majority had faith in
their business ability to ably con-
duct public affairs it was not to
sulk with the air of an injured
child nor to act boldly in defiance
Of the public's desires.
For couple of months the city
council, as a body, has been dere-
lict in its duties. Whatever may
have led TO the commencement is not
at this time matter of argument.
II is enough to assert that a blocked
condition has been maintained. II
must not longer continue. The tax
payers are indignant; yea, they are
aroused TO a condition where they
sturdily demand council that can
be- as Of old--a body of men work
ing, planning, laboring hard for the
advancement of every individual
within the city.
Let the council act-do business
and settle all personal difficulties
in the proper place!

Anent the Gravel,

There is some kick over the
gravel used to top Jersey street
and two or three declare that it will
not pack we'll because it is fine.
THE REVIEW has called upon
several men who are in position to
know what this gravel is and in
their opinion no fault can be found
with this topping being used.
Contractor Windle says There
can be no fault found with this
gravel. Should the street be prop.
erly cared for when it is completed
the surface will remain for years in
hrstclass condition. The frmness
OF the gravel We are using will be
all the better for a lasting road: we
rake the coarser of it to the bottom
and thus allow the fine to sift into
every crevice and bury itself in
every vacancy, | guess the majority
OF people are satisfied with the
stuff. "
Thus far about eighteen out of a
score questioned are of Mr.. Windle's 5
opinion.

LAWBREAKERS.

THERE has been for the pas'
two weeks a ruthless slaughter oI
Chinese phcasants all over the
pcninsula-and IL seems as If the
game wardcns were either inten'
tionally shutting their eyes to the
fragrant breakers Of the law OF
were dcnscly ignorant.
Every day hunters are out on the
sly bagging these birds and the
return of these hunters is usually
by as thinly populated route as can
be found. When the season legally
opens there will be but a limited
killing because of the illegal shoot
ing which has been and still is
going on.
No real sportsman will pursue
this sort of practice: he will wait
till he may legally shoot-till all
those who love the sport can stand
OH an equal footing. II is only the
man who cares naught about fair
play who goes OH the sneak hunt:
and he is the one who should he
apprehended and fined to the full
extent OF the law.
In all fairness there should bc no
open season for Chinese pheasants
for at least three years-bccause
their numbers are limited. Let
them multiply for ,ha, length OF
time and then all hunters could
have a large supply. The next
legislature should see to this.

A GREAT AID.

THAT the people of ~. Johns
appreciate the aid of the Portland
fire department, last Friday morning
is an assured fact. Had il not been
ior the prompt action OF the fire
boat there would have certainly
been loss fully double the $50, 600
now laid AT the door of the fire
hend for the breeze which unfor-
tunatcly spTang up and Was
augmented 10y the flames was
bound Ia create havoc il an i'm
mense volume of water had not
been convenient
The east side fire patrol which
showed up as quickly as a good
team could bring II was of use IN
keeping back the crowds of useless
spectators who were ayerse To work
overtime or with their muscles.
There was no effort or desire on
the part of the people to loot OF
commit deprelatlons; yet il is very
essential that order be always pre-.
served.
The people of 81, Johns and the
business men especially are high in
their praise and appreciation OF the
services 81 gallantly rendered,

Errors Somewhere.

Down at Long Beach, Washing
ton, G. X. Organ is kicking because
Of the non.receipt Of THE REVIEW
sent to his address. Each week
since he left here this paper has
been carefully addressed to him, in
care of another party to facilitate
accurate delivery, yet he has failed
to receive any copy. He registered
kick a week or so since and we
did up three separate issues and
mailed to him: these he received
but none others.
There seems to be something lax
in the department down there: yet
here in Portland there fails to be
the swiftness usually connected with
metropolitan Office. THE REVIEW
leaves here every Friday afternoon
at FIVE o clock-and one hour later
should be in the Portland Office:
yet very few Of Our subscribers at
that point receive their papers be-
fore Monday. II would be mighty
nice thing If the postal department
could wiggle bit faster and thus
aid THE REVIEW and its half
million patrons.

STILL IN DOUBT.
Agreement Is Made ; Then Begins
The Hedging On Points.

Every member of the council was
looking for trouble of some kind
when Mayor King called TO order
last evening and the rollcall showed
all members present.
Mayor King then asked If they
were ready for the minutes and
Recorder Hanks commenced to read
the records of the meetings begin
ming with August 2I. AT the con-
clusion Mr.. Brice said that all at
tempt had been made TO transact
business since the night of August
2o, although the adjournment had
then been made to September 4: he
therefore moved that all minutes
subsequent to that meeting be ex-
plunged from the records. Sec
onded by Mr.. Shields. Ayes
Leggett, Shields, Edwards, Brice:
nays--Peterson, Lindquist, Thomp-
son. Mayor King decided il tie
vote-stating that as he had pre-
viously decided Edwards not a
member of the council he could not
now count his vote.
Mr.. Leggett objected to this-but
Mr.. Brice desired to go right ahead
and do business, and moved that the
balance of the records be accepted.
This met with a second-but the
chair declared the motion out of or
der. Mr.. Shields demanded the
question-and Mr.. Leggett said he
should demand the room cleared by
the marshal if those debating
(meaning the attorneys did not
cease their work. There was much
discussion over the minutes but II
was finally agreed to bar that topic
till next regular meeting.
Attorneys Vaughn and Young
then submitted a proposition TO At
torney McGarry of allowing the case
of Mr.. Edwards to be carried into
the circuit court upon an agreed
statement of fact--the decision to
he final At first McGarry agreed
to this. Then he desired To see his
clients-and short recess was
taken.
When called back il was found
that he desired to ring in other mat
ters OH this decision matters wholly
irrelevant, but Vaughn and Young
were willing to agree to most any.
thing. Here is the agreement
ITO submit the question of Ed
wards right to participate in the
deliberations Of the. council, upon
an agreed statement of facts.
ITO submit the question of Pc.
terson's right to participate in the .
deliberations Of the council. upon
AN agreed statement of facts.
ITO recognize Edwards as legal
member of the council pending this
decision.
The second item was deemed ir-
relevant. and the third was yielded
To by an adjournment To a date be-
yond the expected verdict. AT the
last moment McGarry refused to
acquiesce until today at five o'clock.
Should he then refuse il will show
a determination to do the city an
injury.
Daniel Brecht was given the
right to store lumber in a seldom
used street until the mill could be
gotten under way.
Some logs near the river were
declared a nuisance. and Marshal
Hanks was ordered to advertise and

Is That True Socialism?

come but is beer going to bring il

rule will be practiced under social

poor start. Socialism only Is
the true religion, they say. Ac-
cordlng to my view il was poor

Some men devote time and money
to socialism and love to do it, they
say; but that love don't amount TO
to much when key of beer is in

socialists as individuals should take
part IN such proceedings, but as a
party It is disgrace to the cause
they try to further, as well as to
themselves.

A Lawsuit On.

1t is now shown that w. II.
King and p. J. Peterson do not
intend to allow the charges filed
against them to be dropped. Sub
ppnas have been served upon J.
II. Shields and J. II. Black and
they were called before the district
attorney, who is to investigate.
The affair seems rather complex
insofar as Shields name was signed
to what purported to be a sworn
statement in the Telegram-while
Blacks name was appended to an
unsworn statement, precisely like
the one published. Mr.. Black S
name was read when the statement
was made public at the council
meeting. Mr.. Shields name was
not read as was promised by the
Telegram: hence the Telegram may
expect trouble from Shields on the
one hand-or from King aud Peter
son on the other.
The outcome OF the whole affair
will be eagerly looked for by all
citizens of St. Johns.

Fruits Replace Flowers.

Fruits are replacing flowers as deco for the table, and for this pur, pose are used not fruit bought by the pound, but fruit OH its branches. These branches are entwined in the hanging lamps, forming a sort of cradle whence hang fresh entrants, shining cherries, pluIns with the bloom on them, golden apricots, etc. On the table, in little flat glass dishes shaped like leaves. are ar, ranged cherries, entrants and other fruit in season. These cut glass dishes are made in a very practical form, with a second compartmeht in which are placed powdered sugar and a little spoon. There may be four or six of

FOUND UNCONSCIOUS.
James Williams Found Near His Home in Pine Bluff in an Uncon-
 sCiOus Condition.

Pine Bluff, Oct. 24.- James Williams, a son of Thomas Will Hams, who lives at Fifteenth and Linden streets, was found in a clump of trees near his home early yesterday. morning in an unconscious condition. He was removed at once to his fathers home, but is still unconscious and can give no statement of what has happened to him. The young man, who is about 19 years of age, left home last night to attend the services at Hawley Memorial church, in the southwestern part of the city. He did not return home during the night, and his par ents were much worried over his absence.
 Monday morning about 6 o'clock some negro women were passing through the clump of trees near the home of the young man and found him lying on the ground, They tried to arouse him, but he was uncon- scious. His father was notified, and the young man was removed to his home.
