CLEAN UP.

There are more people coming t
ST. Johns now than there has beer
at any time since we made ouI
home here. They are coming te
see, some to buy. others to trade
property in other localities for St.
Johns realty. II we would but
clean up our town as we should In
order to keep in line with the other
progressive towns Of the valley,
there would be a greater percentage
OF these visitors stop with US.
People used to living in a neat,
clean trim little city do not take
kindly to our Queen Anne fronts
and Mary Ann back yards. We
have called attention to the article
by MI. Rogers. Read il again.
We do not know anything about
the way the finances Of the city
were handled prior to our coming
here but since our arrival. so far as
we have been able to learn from
attendance at every council meet
ing save one the city monies have
been handled in judicious manner
and none OF it wasted. We do
think, however. that more money
should be spent in cleaning up the
streets and back lots of properties
along Jersey aud other streets, on
which are many places having the
of some Chinatown
Joint, We are glad our citizens are
taking an interest in the city aud
bringing these things up. II we
keep yelping alone. with apparently
no one else saying anything most
people will think we are the only
kickers in the city. The municipal
association suggested by Mr.. Rog- |
srs has worked wonders in other |
'ities where we have lived aud we
have no doubt il would do well
or st. Johns, The only way to
know is to try il. Let some one
who has the time start the move
nent aud We have no doubt il will
Don carry everything before il.
or We believe we have as good q
lass OF citizens in St. Johns as
ives upon the earth. All they
iced is some one to take the lead in
ny good work.

Samuel Hill, president of the
good roads commission for the
state Of Washington, declares the
Panama canal will have about as
much bearing OH commerce as the
second kink in pigs tail will on
the price Of pork. He admits that
II will greatly facilitate the trans
mission of war ships from the At.
lantic TO the Pacific in time of war,
aud then tries to prove that the
route via the isthmus is too long
for the vessels to compete with the
railroads, Indeed, IL is so much
shorter all the way around Cape
Horn, the route over which the
vessels are now successfully COM
peting with the railroads on many
commodities. He concludes: "All
in all, | should say that the Pana-
INA canal is a fake" That settles
II. When this concentrated hunk
of double distilled wisdom has SO
declared, we would better pull the
big ditch up by the roots and dump
Il into the Gulf of Mexico. II we

as freely of Mr.. Hill as he has of

YALE MAY QUIT BASKET BALL.
Manager Of New Haven Team Says
That Is Likely to Happen.


NEW YORK, March 25-There is more
than little chance that the meeting Of
the intercollegiate Basket Ball Associa-
ton in this city Friday next will have to
consider the resignation OF Yale as well
as that of Princeton from the league.
This statement is based on the receipt
here of a letter from the manager of the
Yale basket ball team, in which 1t is re-
marked the consensus at New Haven is
that the faculty is intending to limit par
ticipation in basket ball the coming sea-
son. and may. indeed. take steps to have
the game dropped from the minor sports
list. At any event the best that is hoped
Is that the game may be retained at the
expense of dropping from the league.
Such an action will mean that Columbia,
Cornell and Pennsylvania will be the sur
viving members.
Furthermore. it is reported that these
colleges will withdraw from the league if
some action is not taken to limit rough
play. The college basket ball players are
unanimous that the last season was more
than usually spoiled by rough play. for
1t is declared that as a sign of dispeasur
and of desire for the reform, that the
three colleges named will quit the league
unless IT is guaranteed to them that bet
ter and more competent officials are en-
ployed.
If Chicago fails to defeat PENNSYLVANIA
tonight i'm the second east agt. west basket
ball game the third game will be played
in some Philadelphia armory, on a neutral
floor. instead of in this city, as at first
reported.
