the stuff is drawn directly from the
barrels and kegs in plain sight
That there was no good IN the back
rooms anyhow except to hide dev'
ilment.
The liquor license ordinance was
read and discussed. Some amend,
ments were suggested.
Upon the recommendation oi
Hunter, w. w, Mossman was ap'
pointed special policeman at the
Portland Manufacturing company $
plant and Henry Allen at the St.
Johns Lumber company yards. On
motion OF Dobie the mayors ap-
pointment of these officers was
confirmed by the council.
The mayor presented a COM
plant made to him by Mr.. Viii
liams as to the condition Of that
part of Kellogg street being i'm
proved by Mr., Keeney and after a
full discussion ON motion of Mr..
Hunter, the mayor and entire coun-
Gil decided to visit this place Sun
day and look into the merits of the
case.
Mr.. Davis sprung a lengthy dis
cussion by remarking that he
thought the council should take
some action looking towards the
protection of the public against the
operations of Davidor with his gas
stock. The committee appointed
Monday night submitted a written
report that their inquiry into the
efficacy of the bond and the quail
hcations of the bondsmen made the
bond very unsatisfactory to them.
No further action was taken by the
council in the matter.

Poor Little Kitty.

The latest story of cruelty to
animals comes from a fraternal
source. We will tell it as We
overheard one of the interested
parties tell il, A lot OF the men,
bers of the Fraternal Brotherhood
were going home with their sisters
after the meeting and were near
Oak Park when one of them saw a
pretty little black and white kitten
on the car track and made a dive
for the pretty little thing when
something awful happened. Kitty
never mewed, but the pretty little
sister did, and she landed in the
mud beside the track and the other
brothers and sisters followed suit
because they could not bear to
trump such play and it was such
very pretty little bushy tailed,
striped kitty, and next morning
Mother" was seen burying some
of sisters wearing apparel out in
the garden, and poor little kitty
was left right there on the track
where she might get run over.
Some people are awfully cruel.

ON THE TOBOGGAN
st. Johns Hands Two Games
to the Frakes.
STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

Two games Of ball were pulled
of at the Jersey street grounds
Sunday, In which the locals came
out at the little end of the horn in
each instance. The Frakes have
the strongest aggregation Of ball
players outside Of the Coast League,
and II was no disgrace to be beaten
by them. But the playing Of the
locals was not up to the standard.
In the morning game Wakefield
was wild as a March hare. to begin
with, hitting one man and giving
three passes to first in the initial
inning. This, together with a
couple Of lucky hits gave the
Frakes FIVE runs--enough to dis
hearten most any team. However,
st. Johns played good uphill
game, the score standing hen the
last man was out 1t 7 to 9 in Port
lands favor. Had Wakefield
warmed up before the contest as he
should have done, the result would
no doubt have been different.
Clark Moore easily led the batting.

double and sipgle-out Of four
times up, besides making a splen-

Brown had an of day for the first
time this season. Eleven errors
were charged against the home
team by the official scorer.
In the afternoon Howard, the
Frake's crack twirler, made mon
keys out OF the locals. Not one Of
our players was able to land OH the
ball safely. They had no trouble
in finding the ball, but there was
always Frake under il. II was
only through the kindness of An.
tome who obligingly made a bum
throw to first that the locals scored
at all. Philhrick got to first on an
error of his grounder to short and
came home on the wild throw. St.
Johns pitching staff apparently
became exhausted in this game:
Wakefield started to do the twirl-
ing but soon gave way to Clark
Moore; McCarty, a new pitcher,
tried it next, but he was soon put
out of commission; Philbrick then
got into the box and succeeded
in preventing any more scoring for
the last three innings. Parker,
who took his place at third sur
prised the audience by his light
ming work. The score was 10 to I.

would wish to see advanced just as
fast as may be in any line she may
choose To follow. We would moi
say a word that could be construed
in any way detrimental to her oi
her ability But there are a few
things we would like to know, and
as the lady in the big stone house
would not tell us, and the directors
OF the Portland library seem "a
have an awful time getting to St,
Johns To meet with our citizens, we
will have to ask a few questions
aud send a copy OF our paper to
each one of the directors whose
address we can learn and see il this
will elicit a reply.
First, what is done with the
$40, 900 the people of Multnomah
county are taxed for the support of
the libraryl "Oh! Portland pays
$50, 600 of that and that part is
none of our businessr' Well. then

As ST. Johns citizens not only

have furnished considerable of the
furniture and some of the books
and other equipment OF the library
here, is it more than just that St,
Johns people should insist that they
have something to say in regard to
these changes which are made by
the woman in the big stone house,
Is it asking too much that both
Misses in the big stone house
should either make an apology to
the people of St, Johns or be them
selves dismissed from the library
in the big stone house3 If the
Misses in the stone house are so
much in love and sympathy with
the saloons, the majority of the
people in St. Johns believe they
are not fit to handle the business
of the Multnomah county and
Portland public library.
We do not believe the board of
directors of the library will stand
for such work as this. and one of
them, DR., Eliot, we are sure will
not, for we have known him for
years to be the soul of honor, and
are sure he would not stand for any
such henpecking on the part of any
one under his control.
We tried to avoid this publicity
and would have been happy if this
matter could have been settled in
a quiet way, but until we secure
some kind of recognition for our
people here, we shall have it in for
the big stone house with the wom-
an in it in Portland.
Later-Since the foregoing was
written we have learned that the
Portland library will remove their
stuff from st, Johns and that our

The Library Controversy.

''~
We hoped last week that we
should be spared the disagreeable
task of saying anything adversely
to the management Of the public
library. We visited the Portland
library last week and endeavored
to secure some information from
the librarian and stated To her that
we did not wish TO say anything in
the matter until we had heard both
sides of the case that we might be
able to give the public an unbiased
account OF the matter. The libra
rian told us that we would be able
To meet some OF the directors who
were coming to 81. Johns to adjust
the matter. We have kept close
watch and up to the time of this
writing we have neither met one OF
the directors nor has there been a
meeting held here looking to a set
tlement of the matter and IL looks
to us as il we were being buncoed
by the lady in the big stone build
ing,
The facts SO far as we have been
able To learn them are about like
this. Up to the last visit OF the
Portland ladies everything was
lovely, One of these Portland la
dies stated to Mrs. Parker on her
last visit but one, that DIR, Eliot,
one of the directors, who had just
before visited the library here had
reported to the main librarian that
the branch library at ST. Johns was
nicely situated and the books aud
library equipment were in fine con
dition and that he was pleased with
il. We know DIR, Eliot. We
know him To be one OF the most
gentlemanly gentlemen of our ac-
quaintance. A man of honor
whose every word in matters OF
this kind can be relied upon, and
he would not make any such state
ment it II were not true.
The next time one of these ladies
came out il happened that the la
dies of some church were holding
sale in a room next door to the
one occupied by the library, and
we have been told that two or
three of these ladies stopped in for
few minutes to see Mrs. Parker,
our librarian, while the Portland
lady was there and during this
time Mrs. Parker attended the
home ladies and permitted the
Portland lady to go through her
inspection alone. After the books
were inspected this gentle lady
from the big stone house called our
little librarian down.
The women objected to the
church ladies coming in there to
see our librarian. According to
Mrs, Parker one of them stated
that the churches should be sup
pressed, that another said she
would rather have the library
placed in a saloon and the books
dispensed through the hands of
the bar keeper than have these w. |
{. 4. U, women have anything to
do with it.
Then our little Librarian was
given her congo and Miss Perkins
put in her place, Miss Perkins is

accomplished young lady, who will

Johns, speaking the impressive
words that made them husband and

were most artistic and beautiful.
The wedding march was played by
Miss Marion Brodie of Portland
who also continued playing softly
during the ceremony, At the con
clusion OF the ceremony and con
gratulations delicious refreshments
were served.
The bride, daughter OF Mr.. and
Mrs, Ii, NJ, Timms, young lady
of charming personality and many
accomplishments, was beautifully
gowned in embroidered chiffon over
silk with lull length veil. She car
ried a bouquet of lilies of the valley,

May the happiness and prosperity
that worthy and industrious young
people deserve be theirs.
