Open Sunday. March l8.
All ri G Free.

As promised by THE REVIEW
some months ago there is to b. a
free opening of the ferry-asd the
date has now been fixed as Sunday
March IS. Remember that date
and tell all your acquaintance
about it. No doubt there will Le
a large crowd from out of town,

largely represented.
1t may be remembered that
when the ferry franchise was be-
fore the city council THE REVIEW
promised that as soon as the ferry
was in proper running shape this
paper would see to il that there
was an "opening day." Through
the courtesy of Manager J. l..
Brink this matter has been arranged
showing that what THE REVIEW
says may always be counted upon.
Everybody and their acquain-
tances should see to it that this free
trip is enjoyed. There will be no
change in date-whether it be
stormy or not: it has been set for
Sunday, March rS-and on that
day the ferry boats will be thrown
open for the conservative use of the
public.
Remember the affair-and make

DID WE'LL

THAT the decision of the Port
of Portland in affirmatively deciding
the application of the Northern
Pacific railway to bridge the Villa
mette near the drydock gave salts
faction to large number Of in
terested people cannot be disputed
For weeks the matter has been
hanging fire till it seemed as if the
decision was merely awaiting the
long green hand of the manipulation
and people commenced to rise in
their just indignation and say
things to and about the commission
that were unpleasant to hear.
But those who are so strongly in
favor of the new road should not
be too optimistic over its advent.
II will not reduce the rate of trans
portation nor will it give Portland
any better freight rate than now
exists. There are frequently those
who imagine tina, another road"
will always bring about those
things-but in actual life comes the
Combination" which prevents all
rate-lessening-and things go on
about as before To be sure II
will make the city of Portland more
OF a railway city--more Of a rail
way centre: and II will open up a
vast amount of good country which
will make Portland its trading cen
tire.
Farther than that there seems to
be no great need of booming" a
second railroad in any city. In
deed, history fails to show any case
Of where IL cost the public less to
do BUSINESS where a multiplicity of
railroads seem to indicate low
rates.
We are glad, however, that at
last the road is now assured: and
we trust that the highest hopes Of
the most imaginative may be fully
realized

SHOULD VOTE THEM.
BY All Means Bonds For The City
Hall Should Be Voted For
BY All Residents.

1t will soon be up to the people
of the city of St. Johns to say
whether or not the bonds to the ex-
tent of $ro.oo shall or shall not be
issued by this city for the purpose
Of erecting a decent city hall.
There is crying need of such a
building-and the need of some
place wherein all the records of the
city can be stored in safety was
made very apparent by last Sun
days fire. Then, too, the little
shack now in Use as a city hall'
reflects largely against the judg-
ment of the citizens of the city,
even though the city be a new one.
The site for a hall has been pur-
chased-and is now ready for the
builders. 1t is slightly, of sufficient
size to contain a building large
enough for all purposes, and this
growing city needs an edifice that
will favorably impress the visitor as
we'll as for the convenience of all
the city officials. The amount
asked, ten thousand dollars, may
seem at first glance to be excessive.
Some will say that there is a graft
in the job: while there are yet
others who assert that the sum de-
sired for the building is not large
enough.
Ten thousand dollars will not
provide very building when all
the extras are figured into the
account. But il will put up hall
that will be a credit to the city
and one that will serve the COM
munity for dozen years. The
vault which II will contain will be
one of the necessities of the build
ing-for there are records which,
should they be lost, could never be
replaced.
As tax payer and as a citizen
who is interested in the community
each person should 20 to polls
with his mind made up to vote for
the bonds. II Is matter IN which
all are interested--and none can
afford to pass II by.

on the eight % clock car but when
that car was between Portsmouth

learned of the FIRE and had also
been told that the whole business

WE NEED THE BRIDGE.

WITHOUT a doubt the people
of the Peninsula-as well as of the
entire east side-need a roadway
over the new bridge which is to be
built by the Northern Pacific people
near the dry dock. So far as Inter
viewed every citizen Is anxious that
such a roadway be built when the
bridge is constructed-and, If il is
to be done at all, then will be the
proper time to build it.
The Board of Trade of the city
took up the matter at its meeting
last Monday highland there was
strong desire that body of cit
izens 20 eli masse to the Port of
Portland Commission and plead
against the granting of the bridge
right-unlcss II was agreed that all
overhead passageway should DC
constructed. Possibly that wonld
have been the better way-but
there are many other things to be
considered aud IL was finally con.
cluded that set Of resolutions
would have as good, II not better,
effect upon that body.
Consequently, the following res.
olutions were drawn and presented
to the meeting for approval OF re-
lection:
WHEREAS: The Port OF Portland
Commission, backed by unanimous
public sentiment, has wisely granted
TO the Hill railroads the right to
cross the Willamette River at the
poin, desired by that system; aud,
WHEREAS: Under this permit /,
will be necessary for the said rail.
roads 10 construct and maintain u
swing drawbridgc across the said
Willamette River. aud,
WHEREAS: The capacity Of the
"Stccl Bridge" Is at the present
time greatly over-taxcd in the hand
ling Of the traffic Of the cas-, side,
which traffic is increasing at very
rapid pace, aud II now promises 10
continue, IN which case an OF th,
east side and Peninsula districts
must suffer. therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED: That Il II. in
the opinion Of the ST. Johns Board
ot Trade, IN convention assembled,
the imperative duty Of the Port oi
Portland Commission 10 insist upon
the construction Of an upper deck
on the railroad bridge abou, To be
constructed by this system of rail
roads, and that the same bc given
over To the use OF the general pub
lic-and 10 this end does the ST,
Johns Board of Trade aud all the
residents OF the Peninsula earnestly
petition.
These resolutions went through
without dissenting voice; In fact,
the majority OF those present dc
sired to incorporate some stronger
matters IN the same II was
shown that such a roadway would
LESSEN the distance To the city Of
Portland fully three miles--a mat
ter oi no small account when th, |
amount OF travel from this east
side is considered. II would make
the property OF the entire Peninsula
of far more value than il now pos
sesses-and would largely increase
the residence portion oi this suburb.
IL will facilitate the marketing OF
produce, make pleasant drive for
those who enjoy evening outings,
give this part OF the peninsula a
more direct outlet for all purposes.
by all means, the plan should be
urged and insisted upon by the
Port OF Portland Commissioners.

The choice finally fell upon S. l..
Dobie and s. c. Norton-who re-
ceived respectively IS and rs votes.
There were also four names
placed In nomination in the second
ward from which two nominees
were to be selected. These were
