TOO MANY FAKES
TO SUIT CROWD

New York, Dec. "a series Of
spills tonight robbed Rutt and Clark
and Root and Fogler of two hard
earned laps and slowed down the pace

leader of his advantage. These spills
brought forth cries OF fake when

smash-up directly in front OF the

out. but pluckily got up again and
rushed into the race.
Five minutes later Clark. Of the re-
construction team OF Clark and Rutt
shot out from the bunch In furious
Eprint that lasted six minutes When
the riders strung out in file again It
was found that the Judges had
awarded Clark and Rutt the lap they

Hardly had the riders rested from
the last sprint when another team,

ground that he could step into the

that he was a patron of the Port

While the people of Portland are

proposition, II would be well for our
people TO look to the quality of meat
they are using. II is OF just as vital
Importance that the meat used should
be pure as the milk, and II Is likely
that as many deaths are caused by
diseased meats as from impure milk
only It is more difficult to trace.
Therefore, why buy your meat where
any question might be raised as to
It's purity? Go where II has been
proven beyond peradventure OF a
doubt that only good, wholesome
meats are sold. You owe II to your
family and you owe II to yourself
There Is now more sickness in this

The servant girl problem is a
subject Of great importance to the
busy mistress of the house in St.
Johns these days. Girls who are
willing to accept positions as do
mestics are as scarce as hairs on
J. d. Rockefeller head. The
wages being received and offered ser
want girls in this section, and, in
fact, on all parts of the Peninsula,
would make W. SO per week east
ern domestic dizzy were she to be
offered the same. The lowest wages
accepted by some queens of the
kitchen in this city is as cents per
hour with emphatic objections to
washing and ironing. The reason
for this servant famine lies in the
comparative newness Of the country
and in the fact that the girls can
secure more dignifed positions in
the Portland department stores and
similar places at substantial salaries.

Annexation OF ST. Johns with
Portland was the principal subjec,
under discussion at the meeting OF
the Portland Realty Board at the
Portland Commercial club Tuesday
night. The speakers told of the
great benefits Portland would de
rive from such union and would
make better showing when the
census is taken for that city. But
no statement was given showing
where the people of ST. Johns would
benefit by such an alliance. They,
apparently, were only looking to
their own interests instead of ours.
We could hold the empty sack
while Portland secured the con
tents for all they care. Whether
we would have one lone patrolman
to guard the interests of the public
between here and Albina as is the
case now from the city limits to Al
bina, whether one councilman to
represent the same territory will
continue to be the case, whether we
would have the same fire protection
which Portsmouth and University
now enjoys-which is none what
ever, whether like these places we
would be compelled to use strong
threats in order to secure street inn
provement-these towns a couple OF
years ago, after making strenuous
efforts to obtain action upon their
streets petitions for which had been
pigeon-holed for years, took steps
toward seeding from Portland and |
joining forces with St. Johns; it
was only when the authorities real
lied that they were in earnest in
their intention that partial relief
was rendered them; two or three
streets were improved and improve
