Regarding Hawkers' License.

The Review has had several in
quiries in regard to the ordinance
licensing hawkers, ETC., and pro-
hibting peddling in the CITY. Sew
eral supposed it included the vege-
table peddlers. 1t does not. Any
one raising their own produce can
sell it from house to house or in the
open market. But any one buying
from a wholesale house and then
peddling it about town will come
under the ban of the ordinance.
The banana and orange and fish
peddlers are the ones who will have
to obtain a license. As heretofore
the economical housewife may con-
tinue her inning with the shrewd
Dago or the smiling Chink over
the purchase of the family supply
of vegetables. And it is a hundred
to one she will get the hot end Of
the deal, as usual.

The chair stated the object of the
meeting, aud asked for any infor-
nation that would throw light on
the subject None was offered. The
chair then stated that a committee
d. G. Rogers, {. w. Potter and
X. w. McKeon-had interviewed
Francis I McKenna in his Office in
Portland and called upon the writer
to make statement of what Mr.
McKenna said. II was given sub
stantially as written above.
Willis Moxon. who had been to
see Mr.. McKenna previous to the
committee above named, was asked
to make a statement and to corrob-
/ the remarks OF the previous speaker.
This Mr.. MoNon did, but added
that Mr. Valentine, when the Office
was offered him declared i'll favor
of Mrs. Clark, and then, when told
that it was impossible for her TO re-
tain the place. Mr.. Valentine con-
scnled to take it. "Some persons
have made remarks here tonight, I"
said Mr.. Moxon that they will be
sorry for later on.
c.. J. Perkin, made some very
pointed remarks, scoring roundly
the methods and means resorted to
to depose Mrs Clark. He CON
demned the appointment of Mr..
Valentine because of the Under
handed and sccretive manner in
which it was obtained.
y. 5. Southmayd told of his long
acquaintance with Mrs. Clark and
of the time when the office went,
begging, only TO be taken by her al
the earnest solicitation of many citi-
zcns, and lie had positive knowledge
that frequently her pay was as low
as eight cents q day. Mrs. Clark
had given her services 10 st. Johns
when the people wanted a postofiice,
and it was the duty of every fair
minded citizen To stand by her now
when there wa, a chance for her to
be reimbursed Tor the sacrifices she
had made.

THE FOURTH
A Ripsnorting Celebration and Bully
Good Time.

The celebration of the Fourth at
St. Johns was peach
The young boy and the old boy
were here, together with their
wives and mothers and sisters and
cousins and their aunts.
And every last one of them said
they had a good time.
They did. They couldn't help
it. They were all kinds of amuse-
ments and enough of each to satisfy
everybody.
About 10000 visitors were in
town during the day, and every one
of them went home satisfied.
St. Johns advertised a good old
fashioned celebration-and St. Johns
made good.
The weather was ideal. 1t could
not have been better if it had been
made to order.
The parade led by Marshal of the
Day ID. S. Southmayd was the fea-
ture OF the celebration. Every
thing moved Ike clockwork, not a
hitch occurring from beginning to
end.
The procession was in line at the
appointed hour. The St. Johns band
led the way. With Old Glory furl-
cd to the breeze, the G.. A. R., the
remnant of the grandest army the
world ever saw, followed the band.
Immediately behind came the float
bearing the Goddess of Liberty and
Uncle Sam, the characters admira-
bly, taken by Miss Alma Nillineve
and Ray Bulls. Beneath them
were seated a bevy of little girls
waving flags. Next followed the
float containing Martha and George
Washington, who were imperson-
ated by Miss Anna Perrine and Bar
ney Noonan. They, too, were sur

tive to III /, juveniles on account OF
the packages that were tossed over
board.
The orator of the day and others
followed in carriages.
The procession ended at the pa
vilion near the city hall. Rev. F.
l.. Young had charge of the exer-
cises. my country, 'Tis Of Thee"
was sang with beautiful effect by
Mrs. Holland. A drill by white
clad little girls from the public
school brought forth merited APP
plause. Chairman Young then in
troduced Rev. Fred J. Warren as
orator of the day.
Rev. Warren address was a COM
bination of patriotic sentiment and
humor that caught the audience at
the start and held it to the end. 1t
was a happily conceived and well
arranged Fourth of July grafton.
Capt. Snow OH behalf of the G..
A. X. then made few patriotic re-
marks.
In the afternoon the crown were
entertained by races on Ivanhoe
street.
In running 72o yards and laying
so feet of hose the rival teams tied.

Mrs. Clark could not have the

on. He did not say whether any
one in St. Johns had been consulted

Several present volunteered adj
vice to Mr. Valentine. 1t was Civ
eli in friendly spirit and was re-
ceivcd in the same manner Not a
cross word or look marred the in
terview and the best of nature pre-
vailed. Mr.. Valentine was urged
to consult with his friends, and his
enemies, too, is he had any, weigh
their opinions carefully and act ac-
cordngly TO a man, all urged
him TO withdraw and recommend
that Mrs. Clark be allowed to serv,
another term.
The result of the interview put
every one at sea. Nothing new dc.

MRS. CLARK
Removed as Postmistrcss Of the
Local Office.

If bomb had exploded in the
middle of the Cochran block it
would not have created more sur
prise than the two-linc announce
ment in the Oregonian last Satur-
day morning that Mayor Valentine
had been appointed and confirmed
as postmaster of St Johns.
No one was prepared for such an
announcement. The excellent ser
vice given by Postmistress Clark
and the fact that the Office had only
recently been advanced from a
fourth class to third class, or a
presidential office, led all to believe
that the sacrifices made and the eX
cellcnt service rendered by Postmis-
tress Clark would be rewarded by
an appointment for another term Of
four years.
The surprise occasioned by the
Oregonian' S telegram was mingled
with Indignation. Many expressed
their disapproval of the appoint
ment of Mayor Valentine. All com
mcnted OH the fact that postmistrcss
Clark had taken the office at the
solicitation of friends when the
office was practically worthless.
Now that she was about 20 be re-
warded, il was nothing more than
right that She should be appointed
for another term.
No one had an inkling that Mrs.
Clark was to he dcposcd. Ques-
tions were asked rs to how she was
removed What was the reason
Who was dissatisfied Who ap-
pointed Mayor Valentine Why
was the change made 50 sccretively 2
