Piece Of DeviItry

When the directors went over to
the Newport school building to see
about getting it ready to open the
school, they found that some mis-
creant or more than one had gained
an entrance into the building, car
ried off all the electric globes, all
the keys to the inside doors of the
building, plugged all the closets
aud soiled all the floors. To say
the directors are agitated is draw
ing it mildly. They offer s25.
for evidence that will convict the
guilty party or parties. 1t is hoped
that they may be apprehended and
punished for it is the vilest piece Of
deviltry that has been perpetrated
in St. Johns in years.

Just a Pointer

Among the proposed charter
amendments before the voters OF
ST. Johns last April was one allow
ing for street improvement up to
the full assessed valuation of the ad-
joining property. This proposed
measure was turned down IN a
most emphatic manner at the polls.
Aud yet this same provision is con-
tanned in the charter OF the city OF
Portland. Therefore, If annexa-
ton were to take place any prop
erty in ST. Johns could be taxed to
It's full assessed valuation for street
improvement. Thus II a man had
a lot assessed at S7oo, street inn
provement to that extent could be
inaugurated under the present
Portland charter. Also, nothing
but cement sidewalks are permissi.
ble by virtue Of an ordinance passed
by the Portland council. So il
your property would not stand for
cement walks you could have the
pleasure Of treading through the
mud or dust. Portland can tax
property for street improvement
twice as much as the city Of St.
Johns can under its charter. This
is a point that It might be we'll to
remember.

A Gusher Imminent

M. L. 10y has returned from his
visit to the Eastern states, aud
stopped off a few days at the NAL
heur oil fields. lie brought home
with him a bottle Of oil secured
there as a testimonial that a large
body Of oil is imminent. lie says
that prospects we're never brighter
aud he is firmly Of the belief that o
gusher will be struck inside the
next thirty days. Oil is brought
up with every bucket aud the air Is
heavy with the odor. The Ontario
company is now down over 1000
feet aud all the experts on the
ground agree that Il is only a ques.
ton OF few feet more until the
body Of oil is pierced. Al least 100
ST. Johns people are interested in
the Vale oil fields aud the news OF
a gusher at any time now would be
very agreeable news 10 them. The
Vale papers are full Of oil news aud
excitement runs high In that region,
Developments OF the field will be
watched with a great deal OF inter
est by local parties. A large vol
ume OF oil at any OF the wells means
a quick aud substantial rise in the
price OF stock for all.

New York, Nov. 10.-More complete

section of the entire nation where the
Republican vote did not slump notably
and, in many cases, disastrously.

The two great leaders of the Repub.
l1can party, Taft and Roosevelt, alike
met defeat in their own states, Roose-
velt's home town of Oyster Bay went
against him; his congressional dis.
trict chose a Democratic representa-
tive to replace Congressman w. w.
Cocks, Roosevelt's warm personal
friend; his state repudiated the Re-
publican candidate for governor by
over 60 $1,000 plurality. AS an additional
blow the New York state legislature
is Democratic and will elect a Demo.
cratic senator to succeed Chauncey
M. Depew.
In the Northwest Iowa and North
Dakota elected Democratic governors.
but all other states remained In the
Republican ranks.
Senator Dick to Retire.
In Ohio a Democratic legislature
has been elected, insuring a Demo-
cratic successor to Senator Dick, Re-
publican, and the plurality of Gov
ernor Harmon is increased to $1,000.
The West Virginia legislature is
Democratic and will elect a Demo-
cratic senator to succeed Senator
Scott, Republican.
In Indiana the legislature, which
chooses a successor to Senator Bev-
eridge, is in doubt, with the Demo
Gratis claiming a majority of twelve
and the Republicans maintaining that
Beverage will have a small margin.
Iowa is still uncertain, with both
sides claiming the governorship.
The Pennsylvania legislature is
safely Republican and will elect a Re-
publican to Senator Oliver.
Washington has a Republican legis-
lature and the election of Miles Poin-
dexter to the senate is assured. The
Utah legislature, which elects a Unit.
ed States senator, also is Republican.
Indications point to the election Of
the Republican candidate for gov
ernor of California, Hiram w. John
son, by a heavy plurality.
