Extract from Mondays Daily
Abstract, Portland's official
newspaper:
City Engineer Dater is plan.
ming TO add 8 per cent to the
usual estimates of the cost of
street and sewer improvements
in view of the recent passage
of the ordinance requiring that
the wages to be paid on all mu-
nicipal contracts shall be the pre-
vailing wage paid by the city.
1t is believed that this ordinance
will increase the total cost of an
improvement to this extent.
St. Johns review. (Saint Johns, Or.) 1904-current, 1915-03-26

One potent reason why St.
Johns is desirable in the eyes
of the Portland city officials is
because an outlet through st.
Johns would thus be afforded
for the Big East side sewer.
While st. Johns remains st.
Johns the sewer cannot be run
it. it is said.
St. Johns review. (Saint Johns, Or.) 1904-current, 1915-03-26

According to Portland ordi-
nances all stables within the city
must have cement floors with
drain in cesspool. So if st.
Johns merges with Portland all
stables in st. Johns will have to
be cemented. This is the law,
so it is said.
St. Johns review. (Saint Johns, Or.) 1904-current, 1915-03-26

A prominent citizen from Port
land stated the other day that
Portland would be glad to get
st. Johns but that they would
not be proud of ST. Johns peo-
Pile if they We're so foolish as to
turn this city over to Portland.

A FATAL QUESTION

Everybodys tells how a trav-
cling salesman, newly wed, was
killing two birds with one
stone" by taking his bride over
his territory" on a honeymoon
trip. He had boasted of his pop
ularity, particularly at the ho-
tells, to his wife. ''My DEAR" he
said at one place, "they not only
reserve room for me, without
notice, but, knowing my fond
ness for honey, they always have
a plate Of it on my table, even
when it is not on the regular bill
Of fare" When they entered
the dining room, however, lie
was much embarrassed to find
that for the first time in months,
no honey had been placed on his
table. Noticing his wife's smile,
he turned to a waiter and said:
s'Look here, boy, where is my
honey?" The waiter looked en-
barassed and, leaning over the
bridegroom, he whispered in a
tone that could be heard three
tables away: "Why, boss, she
don't work here no more; we has

given us what resembles the
straw paper of other days, the
public had better pretend that it
likes the change, as it will do no
good to protest. Soon, we fear,
all the newspapers and maya
zines will have to follow suit and
become in fact yellow journals. :"
"The supply Of coloring mat
ter now on hand in the industry
will, it is stated, not last more
than another fortnight, except
ing in case of those forehanded
or fortunate concerns that hap
pen to have a big lot in storage.
The mills, however, that have a
lot of colors on hand are very
few indeed. AS general propo-
sition it can therefore, be said
that the paper industry will be
colorless before the end of the
month. Those concerns that
have a supply will no doubt hus-
band their store, using them
grudgingly only in the higher
priced grades"

STICK TO THE JOB

Anything you may get with
out struggle is worth while.
Keep this in mind when you
are engaged in some difficult
task and see if it doesn't help
you to stick.
Things easy to do are the
things sought by the easy-going
kind Of man who never climbs
to any height. Perhaps he puts
up a good bluff Of doing hard
work, but the deception hurts
himself the most, and sooner or
later he has to pay the piper.
Natural ability helps some
folk to gain prominence, but
without hard work it will not
go far. It is not the pupil who
learns his lesson the easiest or
in the shortest time who
amounts to the most in after
