the long
settled at
Oregon and Washington are
again trying to agree upon the
ownership of Sand Island. A joint
commission is tracing an arbitrary
boundary line between
states for ratification by
lat tires. It is expected
disputed question will be
last.
With President Htirlbert in New-
York, vice president A. T. Boldon
in Marshficld and secretary and
treasurer Cook in Idaho, the Port
laud and St. Johns Annexation
club is shot pretty well to pieces.
Having gotten what they believed
to be sweet revenge, there was
nothing to keep them longer in St.
Johns. But while the "package"
may be signed and scaled, it has
not been delivered yet.

The IHII system of railroads has
expended during the past four
years in Oregon and Washington no
less than 80,000,000 according to
compilations just made, in exten
sious, betterments, acquisitions of
holdings and equipment, exclusive
of fixed charges and operating ex
penscs. The North Dank rond
alone cost nearly -153,000,000 and
27,ooo,ooo was spent 011 Hill
properties in this state, over half
during the past year. Construe
tion work mapped out for proper
tics in uregou in ion involves the
expenditure of 15,000,000. Con
pled with the big expenditures the
Ilarriman system Is making in
building new lines and extensions

To Place Guardrail
Acting upon the suggestion of
the Hull road Commission, the oft!
. cinls of the Portland Railway Light
& Power Company liuve decided to
install n substantial guardrail along
the dangerous edge of a cliff sup
porting the St. Johns electric line,
nud also reduce the speed while
passing around curves nt that point
Noting n news article in the hvcu
ing Tciegtnm to the effect that St.
Johns patrons of the electric line
were in fear of being dashed to the
bottom of n large cut, the coiiiiuis
siou directed its engineer, li. C.
Kurlu, to make 1111 examination of
the roadbed. Kugiuccr Ifcirlc finds
there is no danger of the batiks
sliding or giving nway itt nny point
the cars pass over, but some danger
exists where the curs strike curves,
He says some little defect in the
rails or wheels might throw train
uud passengers over the embank
tnetit, nud suggested that a guard
rail lie erected immediately,
The commission is in receipt of n
letter trout the cumin! the line, say
ing that the guardrail will be in

The Iforty Hours' Prayer of
Adoration, or as it is more com
inonly known, the "Forty Hours"
is thus called, because during forty
eight hours the Blessed Sacrament
is conspicuously exposed on the
altar in Catholic churches in order
that the faithful may come and
pray before it and adore it. After
a solemn mass and sometimes when
circumstances permit, a procession,
the Blessed Sacrament is enshrined
nud enthroned above the altar, and
around it is disposed n firmament,
as it were, of countless lights,
radiating from it, symbolical of the
ever wakeful host of heaven, the
spirits of restless life and unfading
brightness that keep watch around
the scat of glory above; and then
the faithful gather about the altar
as about n throne, nud ndore their
God in silence nud nwe.
The object of this devotion of
the Forty Hours ndorntiou of
the lllcsscd Sacrament is to offer a
solemn act of reparation to our
Divine Lord for the neglect and
abandonment to which His sacred
humanity was exposed from the
moment of His death 011 the cross
to the hour of His triumphant res
urrectlou. uy it we nlso propose
to offer to God some reparation for
the sins of bad Christians in gen
ernl, and in particular for the
heartless neglect of which so many
disloyal Catholics arc guilty towards
our Savior, who dwells with us in
the Messed Sacrament; also to atone
for profanations of the Holy Mys
teries by bad Catholics, nud for the
insults to which our Lord is ex
posed at the hands of heretics who
refuse to believe in the Real
Presence.
This devotion is said to have the
following origin: In the year A.
I. 15.17, the city of Milan, Italy,
was desolated by n plague. A siml
lar epidemic bad twelve years pre
viously destroyed one hundred and
twenty thousand of its in habitants.
It was nlso torn by 'civil discord,
and oppressed by a foreign foe,
whose legion surrounded it nud
threatened to besiege it.
1 here was nt that time preaching
the customary Lenten Instructions
in the famed cathedral of Milan
a Capuchin friar, cuuallv distill
gulshed for his holiness of life nud
solid learning, Father Joseph di
Fero. Hut what harvest could he
expeet'to gather Into the celestial
granary from n city threatened by
l lie invasion 01 n Hostile nrmyr lie
commenced his course of sermons,
and his auditory increasing each
day, he was nil at once enlightened
by it ray of divine light. He sun
gestcd to the citizens the sublime
devotion of the public ndorntiou of
our Lord JeMts Christ in the adorn
ble Sacrament of the Iiucharist, its
a propitiatory offering to avert the
dreadful scourge which was about
to fall tiiKNi the city. The people
gladly consented nud hastened to
begin the exposition of the ndora-
ble sacrament 011 Palm Sunday,
1 lie noiy hacrninent was exposed,
nud not only did the Cardinal Arch
bishop, with the entire clergy, both
secular and regular, assist at the
preparatory procession, but like
wise the senators of the city, nil
wearing sackcloth ns nit emblem of
penance. The fervent faith nud
prayers of the Milanese obtained
through this means the removal of
their enemies. The enemies ngreed
upon it truce nud the besieging
nruiy departed,
Later 011 the devotion wns nlso
introduced from time to time in
different cities ns nu offset against
the excesses of the Carnival, and
as 11 repartition to our Lord for the
scandalous conduct of those who
indulged in the license which the
occurrence of the Carnival brought
about. One bishop after another
adopted the devotion for his dio
cese until it became nu almost mil
verstu practice, rue popes gave
the devotion the seal of their ap
proval nud ns n result, the devotion
was spread throughout the Cntholic
world. It had been the instrument
in the hand of God of saving tin
told numbers of souls,

Sweet Pea Show at St. Johns
Prom the rortlnntl l'UI Box.
No other one thing could possibly have created the comment nnd
general interest as well ns have started the movement of various lines
of business ns did the Sweet Pea Show held July 14, 1910, at The North
Hank Pharmacy, St. Johns, Oregon. Mr. C. C. Ctirrin, proprietor of
the nbove Pharmacy, early last spring, informed his many patrons that
he had secured a quantity of sweet pea seeds from a large perfume man
ufacturer, which he would give away, stating that all who cared to do
so could enter d contest for which prizes would be given those successful
in growing the largest and finest specimens from these seeds.
We should have said it created various kinds of comment, first,
from the ladies (Grandmas to little misses) of pleasure, nnd mutterings
on the simple life, from those men who were induced to work the old
family spade overtime, as the wife or sweetheart would say "We want
to have the biggest and best Sweet Pea garden in St. Johns."
Then it was one of the best advertising stunts ever pulled off in
this little burg; it created business for the hardware man, by those who
needed n new hoe or srtadc! the drviioods man outsold his supply of
overalls and stinbonnets the butcher wondered why people had such
Inure armetitcs for his best steuks: even the moving picture man stated
his business was better all on account of n Sweet Pea Show.
On the day called for the exhibition of the blooms, the following gen
tlemen were announced ns nidges.: J. I'. Hendricks, Mayor; l, P
Drinker, Cashier First Nntionnl Bank; A. W. Mnrklc, Editor St. Johns
Review. These gentlemen nwarded prizes to the successful contestants
which prizes consisted of perfume and other merchandise as well as cash
During the" day soda water and ice cream was served free and the
store was crowded from early morning until late in the evening; the sue
cess of this first show was so pronounced that Mr. Ctirrin has announced
that he will hold another in 1911 and which he hopes will be better than
the first otic.
Mr. Ctirrin is what might be called progressive. He is a young
