Jonathan Bourne's term as U S Senator from Orepon will expire next year and he has already be gun an active campaign for re election. So many things have been said about him through the press and by orators during the past two or three campaigns that it is useless to say any more at this time other than to say that the Mist is of the opinion that Oregon is not represented in the U S Senate as it should be and that Senator Bourne is not the right man for the place. There is a very earnest desire to displace him at the next election. but from present appearences he I necting win again go sailing into omce town is without much trouble. There can be no question but that he is a very astute politician, and with his money and his clever ma nipulations he will see to it that the opposition to him is not con centrated, and the result will be his own re-e'.ection. If those persons in Oregon who are really in earnest in their desire to de feat him will use the good judg ment to concentrate their efforts upon some one good clean, capa ble man, he will not be hard to displace, but unless some such action takes place he will hold the job. During the pflSt. $tc--vmonths the merchants SL jlelens have observed Sutulay cowing and the experiment has 'worked so well the niosfrttf- them are very anxious to continue. However it is rumoredvthat there is apt to be a breaking over of this rule by onor two of them, As a matter of right and justice to the mer chants and their employes this rule should be strictly observed. TWhoursof work in a store are jjufricieritly long during the week days to entitle everybody con nected with one to have at least one day of the week away from his or her work. The customers of the various stores have be come accustomed to do their trading during the week ana the only persons who would do any shopping on Sunday are the negligent and careless. A merchant wko refuses to close on Sunday in a city like this is not doing himself justice nor is he doig the fair thing by the others; it is a pretty good indica tion that he is not getting his share of the business and when such is the case there must be some cause for it.x By all means close the store on Sunday. The people in the Town of Deer Island have made up their minds to do a little in the way of City Improvements and have commenced the construction of good sidewalks around the busi ness portion of the city and con- with the depot. The not ir.coriorated and there is no way of improving the city other than by mutual co operation of the citizens. In thi3 way great things may beac-1 complished.

Matter of aid for John Anderson. On this 7th day of iJecember, ERBFO It has been said a great many times that St. Helens is too close to Portland to ever become much of a city; that trading can be done in Portland, where there is a larger assortment of goods to select from, as cheap as can be .done in St. Helens. All of which can not be verified and is very easi ly disproven. If any person will take the trouble to investigate they will find that our merchants can and do sell their goods at practically the same prices as do the Portland merchants, and in many instances much less. Their assortment of goods is amply sufficient to satisfy the most particular. The stocks of Christ mas goods now on display in the various stores of this city do credit to the city and, outside of two or three big department stores where prices are really higher than in the smaller places, our stocks are as large as are the Portland stocks. To any person who thinks he or she can go to Portland, pay car or boat fare, buy his dinner and save money, a trial shopping tour around St. Helens and Houlton will convince him of his mistake.
