KEEP ON THE MAP Itebition of a Live, Lnergetic Itody to Development til u Comiiiuoily What makes a town, anyway? Is it tho wealth evidenced by the fine homes, or its splendid store buildings well supplied with merchandise? These may show the stability and thrift of certain people and their ability to thrive In their various lines but ono can certainly see that these offer no great Inducement to com mercal and moral progress. That is a factor only. Tho sleepiest old ham lets that dot the map most often display this spirit in rank abund imco. Ia it tlio lodges, education and religious institutions? We trust their number may ever increase, but they don't make a town only cul luro It. Ib It the geographical loca tion, the shipping facilities, the natu ral advantages? We readiy admit any or all of these are valuable acquisitions to any town so possessed, but they are not actual necessities. Well, whnt Is it makes a town any way? Well, Just one thing the unity of Its people; the existence of a common bond which causes busi ness and social enemies to cast aside all petty differences when it comes to boosting the town, and no place ever made real progress to substan tial success without the get-together spirit to be fostered by all. This has been tried several times in our beau tiful little town by a few who en deavored to show tho true spirit and has been ruthlessly disregarded by the vast majority, fearing to give fin ancial and moral support to any or ganization having in view the good of St. Helens, first, last and all the time. There will bo an election for offi cers to man our commercial club af fairs Friday night, June 9, 1916, In tho club room at rear of the City Hall, and it Is the duty of all who have our Interests at heart to Tie there and elect such men as are best fitted for this work; assits them not street-corner oratory, but place your shoulder to the wheel. and with your moral and financial support aid honest, legitimate boosting, thus aiding ourselves and our town. FIRE DEPARTMENT ELECTS NEW CHIEF At tho meeting of tho St. Helens Volunteer Fire Department held on May 27, the following officers were elected : Firo Chief Fred Watkins. President J. H. McKie. Secretary D. McDonald. Treasurer Mat McKie. Trustees Mace, Urown, Conway. Mr. Watkins, tho new chief, buc cecds L. E. Allen, who has been chief for the paat several years and lias dono much toward bringing the de partment to its present high state of efficiency. When he took charge of tho department there was little equipment, and little Interest, and gradually ho has worked out mat ters until now St. Helens has a volun teer fire department of which it may well feel proud. Much credit to Mr. Allen and to those who served under him. Mr. Watklua has been identi fied with the department for some timo and all who know him are r.itlsfied ho wil make good in his present responsible position. Tho appointments were ratified by tho city council ut its meeting Mon day night. CLATSKANIE ROSE SHOW Clntskanie's tenth annual rose show will bo held at Miller's audttorlum on Juno 17. The committee had originally decided to hold tho show on Juno 3, but owing to lack of warm weather the dato waB changed. In addition to the rose display, field events and a baseball game will prob ably bo featured. Entries aro ex pected from all noarby towns. I LONGSHOREMEN TIE UP SHIPPING AFFECTS ST. HELENS Work at Standstill Until I'nderstantl in Is Reached. Rather than meet the demands of tho Longshoremen's Union, owners of Pacific Coast deep water craft have decided, to tie up their crafts until negotiations which aro now pending with the union have come to some definito understanding. This strike affects St. Helens to a con siderable extent, inasmuch a3 many vessels load here and the output of the two mills aro mostly water borne shipments. The steamer Neha lem arrived Wednesday night and the longshoremen worked cargo until midnight, but beforo working timo Thursduy morning they had orders- to work na moro cargo until further orders. Consequently the twelve men who were working on tho steamer did not report for work. Cargo was being taken aboard by tho sailors and the vessel will probably leave out Saturday night, one day behind her schedule. The. strike of the longshoremen reaches from Alaska to San Diego, and thousands of men are out. The longshoremen demand a flat rate of 60 cents per hour for working lumber and $1 nor hour overtime. The former rates were 50 cents per hour and 75 cents per hour overtime. They also do not favor the open ports of Grays Harbor and Raymond, where non-union men aro- employed along with union men In loading vessels. Two of the McCor- mick boats r-re expected here In tho next several days, and it is hoped the matter will be settled before their arrival. R. S. HATTAN NOW JUDGE When Judge Robert S. Hattan took the oath of office administered by the county clerk on Saturday and entered Into the discharge of his du ties as judge, he took up a work with which no man in Columbia county is more familiar.

Tho Interior of the church was nicely decorated and spe cial music was provided for the occa sion. The bishop, before delivering his address, promised that he would try to arrange matters so that Christ's church would have a resident clergy man in the near future. The sermon was a masterly one and was listened to with much interest. The bishop spoke very highly of Oregon's two educational institutions the State University and Oregon Agricultural College. He said the per cent of high school graduates In Oregon who entered college was much above many of the old eastern states. We sin cerely hope the bishop will again fa vor us with a visit.' ST.
