The Grip.

Before we can sympathize with

selves" No one can realize the
suffering attendant npon an attack
OF the grip, unless he has had the
actual experience. There is prob.
ably no disease that causes SO much
physical and mental agony, or
which SO successfully deties medical
aid, All danger from the grip,
however may be avoided by the
prompt use of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Among the tens of

ported that has resulted in pneu-
monia or that has not recovered.

He Worked Us.

Every day there are more and
more regrets that the city officials
were led away BY the specious pal
aver of Gar Killingsworth and
seduced into making a tax levy OF
so low rate as to be dangerous.
1t was the intention of the city
council to have made an eight-mill
levy which would have been suffi-
cient for all practical purposes-but
Billee Killingsworth, the Toffee
King. put up a plea in so seductive
a language that the enthusiasm
spread-and all were happy at S.
mill levy.
Now the question comes up
WAS it right" Sober second
thought comes upon us and asks If
st. Johns is under the velvet hand
of Killingsworth and his consorts ?
While there is no remedy for the
complaint and kicks will prove flu
tile, IL is conceded that the extra
three mills needed would have been
a mere bagatelle for all taxpayers
but would have been a great aid for
the city.
NJ. l.. Holbrook would have
been satisfied with an eight-mill
levy--and he is possibly the largest
taxpayer in the city. But Killings
worth, who, with the aid of his
associates, is endeavoring to build
up other communities at the pos
sible expense of St. Johns, comes
and puts up the baby act: imbues
all with his magnetic spiel; and we
are his.
After this we should all shy at
Billee.

ADJOURNED MEETING.
City Council Figures That Deputy
Recorder Must BE Appointed.

At an adjourned meeting of the
council held Wednesday evening
Mayor King presided all members
were present except Messrs. Shields
and Brice.
The bid of I. N. Tomlinson hav-
ing been found to be much lower
than that OF Bechel Brothers it was
moved by Councilman Leggett and
seconded by Councilman Thompson
that the contract for the improve
ment of John street be awarded to
I n. Tomlinson. The question
was unanimously carried.
The matter of making payment
for the city hall site was discussed
at length-and il was decided to
await the result of the interview
between Councilman Leggett and
w. NJ. Killingsworth before taking
farther steps.
Plumbing ordinance was reported
not complete.
Clerk was ordered to have the
city engineer post proper notices OIL
improvement of Monteith street in
order to receive any remonstrances:
while the matter of Chicago street
extension was carried over to next
meeting.
Councilman Lindquist reported
that no contract could be secured
from the General Electric Company
for less term than five years, and
much discussion followed. The
light committee reported the follow
ing points as proper places for the
street lamps:
Ivanhoe and Chicago.
Burlington and Hayes.
Richmond and Willamette Boule-
ward.
Oswego and Willis Boulevard.
Pittsburg and Bradford.
Fessenden and Fillmore.
Bradford and Richmond.
Allegheny and Portland Boule-
ward.
This will make the best division
of the eight new ones placed by the
city. The car-line has placed one
at Point View, an Cedar Park, at
the Heights, and at the French
Block, on fessenden aud Jersey
and at Jersey aud Richmond: and,
with the two previously in use,
there will be 10 in the city. The
city attorney was instructed TO
draw the necessary contract.

To Improve Streets.

M. L. Holbrook has no superior
as an energetec pusher for public
good. Since his advent into this
locality he has done more in this
line than any halfdozen men. 1t is
true that he is largely benefited by
this workout many would prefer
to shove the brunt OF the work on
someone else.
He has now bought the property
of Mrs. p. T. Smith lying between
Burlington and East Chicago in
order that he might open up the
latter street to the legal width, 60
feet. Through the plat he will ex-
tend Willis Boulevard which will
open the property in nice shape.
The old wire hen-yard that has for
a long time occupied portion of
Harriet street will be at once re-
moved which will be a needed i'm
provement. This will increase the
width of Harriet street to the
necessary extent
Nearly all lots in Court Place
have been sold by Mr.. Holbrook
within the past three weeks. Some
of them were sold upon the agree
ment that Chicago street should be
extended and made 90 feet wide
and Mr.. Holbrook has now made
good his word.
1t is all understood fact that
when' Holbrook says so-it will be
so.

THE WEATHER..
Weather Man Forgets His Locality
And Orders Wrong VARIETY.

1t was with much difficulty tha
the city fathers succeeded in get
ting to their homes Monday nigh,
the snow almost causing several
deaths along the road. In fact,
during the council meeting mum.
Der of them had cold feet-and
didn't tlaw out enough to even get
hot about anything
Tuesday morning with eighteen
inches of snow locomotion was in
deed difficult. Many groups OF
boys and even men were taking
magnificent toboggan rides down
Tacoma, Philadelphia, Burlington
and such other streets as yet had a
clear throughfare to the river, and
so great was the impe,us Of the
hastily-constructed vehicles of travel
that the opposite bank of the Villa
mette was reached ere stop was
made.
Along the banks were tied the
many launches and the ferry.boats
put out of requisition by the
vagaries of Dame Nature and the
weather bureau: while the distant
grumble of the "t-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-t,
t-o-o-o-t. too o.t' of the river
boats indicated full we'll the troubles
those vessels were having in break
ing the ice before them. They
foundered about like a four-bit
lawyer explaining the workings of
a sawmill.
The street railway was attempt
ing no service. The early car to
town was stalled this side Of the
Heights-wbile the first car down
was buried to the bise Of the trolley
between Point View and Cedar
Park-snow having drifted at that
point to the depth of about twelve
feet AT nine o clock three search
ing parties went in pursuit of the
milkman and at noon he was found
in the quagmire near Harriet and
Chicago streets-unconscious and
with a milk-leg. Ready hands dug
him from the mud aud snow--and
he is believed to have rallied
enough to talk.
Everything was changed from its
accustomed garb. But for the
signs at the street corners most of
the the few who dared to venture
out would have sadly lost their
bearings-all old land marks hav-
ing been obliterated. Fuel was at
a premium-when in the houses:
and the paths TO woodsheds were
drear and dangersome. Trouble
lurked at every point and fear
showed around every corner: and
all because the weather bureau had
miscalculated the weather district!
