the recorder receive $1,000 a year
and the usual fees.
Mr.. Raser moved that the salary
of the city attorney be placed at

the old figure Of zoo per month as
proper compensation for the legal
department.

Of the council -. so for each meet
ing they attend, and that four

motion went through with a wh,rl,
which brought exc ounciman

his feet. Mr.. Peterson told the
council very plainly he thought
they were wrong. II the old coun-
Gil could work for 81 so a meeting
and meet twice a month he thought
the present one should. lie warned
them that such graft meant their
political funeral year hence. Mr..

The PEANUT ROUTE.
st Johns Carline The Bonanza Of
The Hot Roasted Peanut
Neudcr

Did you ever notice the number
of peanut chewers that make the
evening run from Portland to this
end Of the pepinsula' 1t seems I'M
probable that anyone could have
taken the ride more than once and
not been made aware of the fact
that there are more nuts eaten and
more shells distributed than upon
any other line running outside OF
Portland.
1t is an unwritten law that nc
shells shall be thrown upon the
floors of the cars and when some
of the conductors frown upon those
passengers decorating the steel mat
with the crackly shells the pas
senger usually shrinks into the
deepest recesses of the slat seat and
medtates on the irony of fate.
But now the car company is in a
dilemma-and has about concluded
that il would have been better had
the passengers who were welded to
the luscious peanut thrown the
shells in any old place rather than
do what they have been doing
On the newer cars there is a
hollow several inches wide along
the whole length on both sides
the space being left to allow the
windows to be lowered. When the
windows were closed this "slot"
appeared a very convenient recep-
tacle for the dumping of the
rubbish created by the peanut
chewers: and these places have
been used to such an extent that
there are very few of the windows
that can now be dropped more than
several inches. In fact. there are
some cars where the peanut shells
have filled all available space until
the shells are now level with the
window sill.
The matters are made the worse
because the warm weather is now
upon us when everyone desires to
have all the air in the cars possible.
II is an annoyance to drop a win.
dow and have the thing 20 a few
inches and then stop while a sound
of crushing peanut shells comes
from below. And IL is worse to
have the window drop not at all
because the venthole is completely
filled with the trash.
There Is no way 10 clean out the
rubbish -- because the company
never supposed that the cars would
be put TO such a use. II there was
a trap beneath each car capable Of
being opened aud the waste drawn
of il would be all right-but the
only way TO clean out this stuff Is
to partially remove the side Of the
car. II may be possible that a
suction pipe could be introduced
aud the trash sucked up as dust is
taken from rooms but that has
not yet been tried.
There will have to be some
method devised for abstracting this
stuff before long-as there is no
cessation OF peanut chewing upon
the part OF the passengers-and il
would require a dozen conductors
for each car 10 stop the habit of
'lot-dumping,
Aud the peanut route" seems
10 he growing in patronage with a
promise OF great increase in the
futurel

REVIVE IT.

THERE should be an immediate
revival of the Board of Trade" IN
this city. There is great need OF
such an organization - provided
that il can be made a good one.
Other cities have them-there is nc
good and sufficient reason why ST.
Johns should have the push and
pluck shown by other small com
munities.
Under the title of the CONNER
cial Club" much was done for this
city by a body of energetic men
men who saw the possibilities of
the locality. Under the manage
ment of the Commercial Club in
dustries were secured and new resi-
dents gained. II is very likely that
these same industries would not
have found ST. Johns had Il not
been for the persistent effort Of this
club-although IL Is fair To- say that
some industries would have located
here-evcn II they had not arrived
for many years.
For some reason or other a con.
demnation Of the Commercial Club
took root, nourishcd and bore fruit
lust what those causes were Il is
hard to say---but the effect was
evident. The club went To pieces.
Since then any effort To revive a
like organization under any other
name has been almost impossible.
Several efforts have been made
only TO result in disaster.
There is frequently an assertion
made that 81, Johns is only u real
estate mans graft. No statement
could he farther from the truth.
What is now necessary tobc done
is 10 show the world that such a
title is not deserved. Yet one can
but admit that had not the real
estate men stepped gallan,ly to the
fore when some needed industry
was sought OF pulled their wad"
when there was need OF cash-thc
city wonld not be what !, is today.
hut today the city is out Of that
class. !, has dropped It's knee
pants and has an air OF young man
hood, II offers excellent oppor'
tunilies ior the manufactures, the
capitalist, the investor, the home
seeker. 81. Johns is today the /
largest and most prosperous OF any |
three year-old on the coast and
there bids fair To he no Cessation Of
its opportunities and possibilities.
There is need OF a club of some
sort--or an organization II one
prefers 81 To call ito get busy,
Let this club be formed at once
and with good officers there will be
a tremendous appreciation IN all
lines aud ia every way,
