Greetings of the Season and
wishes all its readers a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New-Year.
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. Already a dance hasj
beei given and some funds raised
in that manner. Others will;
follow and then the boosters will I

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. Try it.
