St. Johns review. (Saint Johns, Or.) 1904-current, 1907-08-09

commendation of series of articles
exposing a number of quack medi-
cines the composition of which was
principally alcohol in some form,
and the temperance people were es-
pecially delighted. Now the laugh
seems TO be OIL the other side how
ever, because of an extended article
from the pen of Samuel Hopkins
Adams expo ing to criticism some
of the leading religious journals OF
the nation for printing advertise
ments of quack doctors and fake
remedies, among them the Central
Christian Advocate, Christian En-
deavor World, the Cumberland
Presbyterian, Baptist and Reflector
and others. The only safe way to
do is TO cut all such ads from our
lists, and this will be the policy OF
this paper as soon as present con-
tracts expire.
One of the most imperative tie.
ccssitics to the successful business
life OF a city is good streets. This
is more emphatically the case with
reference to the main streets lead.
ing into the city from the territory
tributary thereto. There are two
OF three of our streets which need
attention very badly, and none
more than does Philadelphia street.
We have been told that the grade
will bc too steep for the transporta-
ton of heavy loads. which might
be true II the street should be SIM
ply smoothcd over. but II the grade
be made even from near the city hall
to the top of the o. X. * n. grade,
the surplus soil removed from the
city hall park and higher places
along the street and dropped in the
low places, we are positively OF the
opinion that a 7 per cent grade or
better may be obtained. Then
substantial dock should be erected
the full width of the street, even il
a small dockagc charge became nee.
cssary IN order 10 pay interest. but
II should not. With this dock Civ.
ing easy access To the city. the in.
crease 10 the business of our mer-
chants, the shipping facilities, the
prestige Of ST, Johns as business
point would cause the most pessi.
mislic knockcr in the city to wonder
why Il was not done years ago Now
that our city engineer has resigned,
his successor should be named at
the earliest possible moment SO
that when these matters come
mp there may be no delay in putting
them through, Let us have this
fine avenue connecting the heart of
the city with the outside world i'm
proved as quickly as possible aud |
thus remove one of the worst han. /
liclps for doing business in st. |
lohns-poor facilities for handling .
merchandise in large quantities.
