Another Brick Block Morgut and Son Completing Modern Two Story Building i Another busin.-s b.ck is near- j ing completion in St. Helens and is: .credit to the city. H. Morgu & j Son have erected a two story eon- j rrete and brick building with office rooms above and two large ur.d commodious store rooms on the ground floor. One of these lower floor rooms will lie occupied by the Morgus firm with a complete and up-to-date stock of clothing, dry K'hxU, txots, sIhh'S, also furniture and hardware. The other room w ill be occupied by the A. S. Harrison Grocery store. The upper rooms will he offices and house keeping rooms. The completion of this large business block by Morgus & Son marks a htep in the progress of the city. Only a few yeaia ago, something like 12, Henry Morgus arrived in St. Helens w ith a pack on his back, a ped,ller. He was im pressed with the location of the city and decided to locate and establish permanent businehii. He purchas ed one of the very choice locations for a business in tho city und erect" ed a smull building ami secured a small stock of goods. His most es timable wife arrived and together they went to work, with full confi dence that some day they would ac cumulate a competency by sticking to St. Helens. From this small lc ginning the Morgus firm has grown until it is now one of the largest and most prosperous mercantile in Columbia County. Such people as Mr. and Mrs. Mor gus and Fred are a ciedit to the community and St. Helens is proud to nutnlier them among the 1nost progressive citizens of tho city.

Mr. Haggin is well known all over Columbia County where he has lived nearly all his life while Mrs. Haggin is the city editor of the Clatskanie Chief which posi tion she has held for about two years. We extend congratula tions. The body of a man was picked up in the River a few miles above St Helens last Monday by a fisherman and brought here. Coroner Sher wood was notified and came up, called a jury and held an inquest but it was impossible to identify the body. There was a watch and knife in the pockets but nothing else could give any clew as to who the man might have been. The body was taken to the Warren cemetery and buried. An article in the Mi3t last week concerning the actions of the So cialist party who were having a pic nic at Oasis Tark, in tearing down the fence at the ball park, seems to have been exaggerated to some ex tent. In the first place there were only about 12 people on the fence at the time the manager asked them to get off, and only one board was torn ofT the fence. The leaders of the socialist party disclaim any knowledge of the affair and we make this correction in justice to them. The article in question also contained the statement that by this action of tearing down the fence when they were ordered off, the tenets of socialism were demonstrat ed and exception is taken to that statement also. It is not the inten tion of th' Mist to offend anyone, be he Socialist, Republican or Demo crat and if we have done so through any misstatement of fact we are glad to make the correction.
