The Free Ferry

AT the last meeting of the COM
mercial club the question of a free
ferry was discussed and committee
appointed to confer with the county
commissioners. The commissioners
virtually agreed to operate the
ferry provided the city purchased
the same. That leaves it up to the
enterprise of the citizens interested
to buy the ferry and turn it over to
the county. We understand that
this is the way the ferry at Sell
wood was provided.
There is no question about the
desirability of free ferry here. 1t
is almost as much necessity as a
dock. Not only is st. Johns inter
ested, but the entire peninsula
north and west of Albina, Linnton
and the Tualitin valley. Every
man presented with the proposition
is most heartily in favor of the
move and many from the peninsula
outside of St. Johns have expressed
to the committee a willingness to
assist in securing the ferry to the
best of their ability. We do not
know whether or not il would be
advisable to vote OH bonds for the
ferry, or If it might not be better to
buy the boat by popular subscrip-
ton. We believe it would be an
easy mateer to raise the necessary
funds by popular subscriptions
among the citizens of University
Park, Portsmouth, Woodlawn, St.
Johns, Linnton and the Tualitin
valley and others who would be
interested. This would avoid the
loading so much upon the taxpay-
ers, and those most deeply inter-
ested In the ferry would be able to
do more toward the purchase Of it,
and those who might not be inter-
ested at all would not be obliged to
pay for that which would not bene-
fit them so much. There is hardly
man, woman or child in the en-
tire territory enumerated above
who would not be benefited either
directly or indirectly by a tree
ferry and every one should do his
utmost to achieve this end. A
meeting will probably be held be-
fore the meeting Of the council next
Tuesday to formulate some manner
Of presenting the matter to the
council and secure their assistance
in the matter.

A Home Made Happy by
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy

About two months ago our baby
girl had measles which settled on
her lungs and at last resulted in a
severe attack of bronchitis. We
had two doctors but no relief was
obtained. Everybody thought she
would die. I went to eight differ
ent stores to find a certain remedy
which had been recommended to
me and failed to get it, when one
of the storekeepers insisted that |
try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

How Diptheria is Contracted

One often hears the expression,
MY child cought a severe cold
which developed into diphteria,
when the truth was that the cold
had simply left the little one partic-
ularly susceptible to the wandering
diptheria germ. When Chandler
lain's Cough Remedy is given it
quickly cures the cold and lessons
the danger of diptheria or any other
germ disease being contracted. For

The council of the city of Port
land is considering the advisability
OF passing an ordinance TO keep

many cases have come To light in
which young girls have been ruined
IN the saloons that drastic measures

The Thaw trial is again occupy
ing the judicial stage in New York
City, and once more the story of
Evelyn Thaw's wrongs has RECALLED
the public in all its nauseous de
tails, Prosecutor Jerome is as
vicious and brutal as ever in his
examination OF Mrs. Thaw, aud
the people are again wondering
why his vicious tactics are permit
ted in the conduct OF this or any
other case. Witnesses have no
right to endure the abuse and dog
like treatment accorded them at
the hands OF ferocious and unprin-
cipled prosecuting attorneys, but il
seems there is no escape, and the
witnesses in many cases have a
harder time than the criminals. In
the Thaw case the interest does
not run nearly SO high as in the
former trial, and il is the coneensus
of opinion that the defendant will
at least escape the electric chair,

our people can do better than to
