Kor the first time since the passage of the i. lU'iiutv SheritT Lake last Saturday niorninir arrested a man by the name of Burns at Houl tun and broiitclit him to St Helens to answer the eharice. He was placed in jail ahere lie took a do'inhtful sleep for the greater part of the day and was then taken before Justice of the Peace Watkins where he entered aoleaof jruilty and received (Ine. This law is U-injr violated nearly every day in nearly every county in the state and should be more strictly enforced, mere it n.) more disRustintr siuht to be imagined than that of a drunken man or crowd of men in a crowded ear where people must see them dnnkinif and hear them using rile lanjrunKe. Railroad com panies should instruct their con ductors to see that the law is en forced so that resectable people may ride on their trains without being insulted and having to as lociate with drunken rowdies. Next Monday evening there will assemble at the school house a crowd of people. A crowd con- in the school district. A nomin ation will be made for director, perhaps two or possibly three nominations; a ballot will be taken and Bomebody will be elected as director for the" coming three years. Then a nomination will be make for clerk, not very apt to bo more than one nomin ation, although it is possible that two persons will te nominated, a ballot w ill be taken and a clerk will be elected. A motion will be made that the meeting adjourn, which motion will promptly carry ami the annual school meeting is over. With the annual meeting over, a great majority of those people who attended and voted will go home with a clear con science, nappy in thought that a full duty has been performed. That is a fair example of a school meeting in a majority of the dis tricts, especially in this one at St. Helens. Year after year the same routine is carried out. with the possible exception of a con tested election more for politic! 1 effect than for any other pur pose, and very few people really ow anything about the school affairs of the district. Let us offer a suggestion to the school hoard for a programme next Monday: Open the school house at 8 o'clock in the morning and let some member of the board, or clerk or other person acting for them be at the building all day; have all the rooms open for inspection, all day; have the hooks of the clerk with a com plete report in charge of the per son there so that electors may see the exact condition of affairs; show the people through the huilding, let them see the library; explain to them the value of the modern sanitary heating and ventilating system; make it a point to let the people) see what is being done in school matter?. Then it is up to every person, or at least a representative from every family, to go there and rnake an inspection so that when the meeting is called to order in the evening intelligent sugges tions can bo made. The people f lain over with the directors the needs and improvements that could or should be made. Ity doing this a much more satis factory meeting citn be had. The officers and people will have a better understanding with each other. There will not be so many kicks Without foundation ; is a well known fact that a large majority of the kickers do not kick from any knowledge, but from a fancied grievance. There would be s(j much more marmony in school matters and abetter school would reHult. Let us make' tho meeting next Monday a get-! together-meeting and see if we can't have more harmony in mat ters pertaining to the school.

That flag on the St. Helens school house might easily pass for a relic of the Hattle of Bull Run. - St. Helens is a progressive town. The population has in creased at a rapid rate during the past few years. There is a pay roll far above the average pay rolls in towns of this size. There are industries here employ ing many hundreds of men. New buildings are going up; streets are being improved; sewers are being constructed, and there is an air of prosperity and prog ress in all lines in the city. It is just the natural advantages of location and transportation that makes us grow. The city is doing no advertisingand is doing nothing to induce other indus tries to locate here. There is ab solutely nothing like a commer cial organization. The business men of the city Beem to have adopted as their slogan "Hoot Hog or Die" and a spirit of selfishness seems to predomi nate. There are opportunities for gettirg other factories to lo cate here; to increase the already large pay roll; to stimulate the building of more and better homes. We have everything to offer, but nobody to offer it to. We are just drifting along allow ing all these opportunities 10 pass w hile other towns are using every eltort to grow, umer places are spending money, real money, to jret in touch with pros pective settlers and manufac turers. The Mist has harped on the necessity for the organization of a good club for several years without result. Nobody has the time nor the inclination to join a club, offer suggestions, pay 50 cents or do anything elso toward boosting the city. Everything seems to be all right; everybody i making a living; we don't need anything else here. Let well enough alone. IasI Sunday the Portland Tress Club, a club con sisting of newspaper men, ar rived in St. Helens on a trip oi nspection, and when they go? lere there w us no official meet ing by an organization, but just a few private citizens in a private capacity took it upon themselves to see that the Press Club was shown over the city and properly entertained. When any proposi tion comes up foradvertising th city, attending meetings of de velopment clubs, etc., St. Helen is never there. Nothing is evei attempted in the way of putting St. Helens on the map. For goodness sake let us wake up so that w e mav be in a posi tion to take advantage of the op portunities' that come anyway, whether we go out for them or not. Let us have a live com mercial organization in the city. A meeting of the business in terests once in a w hile. A place fitted up where visitors can be properly taken care of. Start b Booster Club consisting of every property owner and business man in the city and then boast all the time and you will see that it v 1 1 be the bost paying investment you have made in the city. Have your pictures taken now at tli photo tent west of court house. Wo will remain here till June 12 Have the farm residence hrto- g-raphed. We go Into the countrj . Photographer Welch.
