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.

A box of Mammoth Hlackljerriea

There will be service at the

minded can help to establish Gods
cause among men by their pres

Jopling. Pastor.
Last Saturday Joe Haggin and
Vliss Phyllis Van Ness, both of
Clatskanie. were married in St.
Helens by Rev. A, A, Heist. 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.
