Stearns, is to bo congratulated for the prompt and eflleient manner, with which he handles and delivers freight matter entrusted to him. The patronage giv en this company proves tho apprecia tion of tho peninsula public. But there is ono feature which might be improved, and that is the establish ment of a freight depot in St. Johns, with a resident agent. This would add very materially to the efficiency of the line.

It is ivjHirtcd that elforts nro to bu made to organlr.o n lodge of Odd Fel low in St. Johns. Their is room for such an organisation here, us this excellent order already has many mcmhurs redding heie. There Is no doubt n largo membership could bu obtained.

John White, who is wanted by tho sheriff for horsu stealing in tho east ern part of tho statu, managed to get into town Monday and get his wife and ehildivu and with them left for parts unknown, leaving the stolen sad dle la-hind. Marshul Organ telephou ed tho facts to tho sheriff's oflleo Tuesday morning but could givo no definite clue by which White eould be located. Ono cannot help but be impressed with the. lamentable condition of tho streets. If it is possiblo, temporary sidewalks should bo laid along the principal thoroughfares at least. Tho city has many attractions, industrial and otherwise, hut tho streets are not among these objects of interest to the visitor. Lot's wako up and see if wmiethinjr cannot be done to help mutters along this line. A habit practiced by hoys, one both nnnnvinc nnd daucerous, is that of jumping off the street care as they pull in and out from tiio station, u is a violation of tho rules of the com pany, and should he stopped. Ono of these days some boy will get hurt, and probably lose a limb, and perhaps get killed. It seems as though the city marshal could stop this practice, if ho would mako an example of a few of these mischievous little fellows. At tho last regular meeting of St. Johns Camp No. 773, W. O. W., nom inations and election of officers were held. The following olllccrs wens elected for the ensuing term: Past consul, F. S. Lindley; Consul com mander, 11. C. Clark; advisor lieuten ant, U.

A long-haired "Mode" from Posey county, Ind., remarked to ns the other day in pathetic tones with a nasal twang, "Thar's jist one lone real es tatu man at Portsmouth, and he's jist gone thnr from Univarsity n little ways. hi. Johns' sweet sixteen ought to give him a 'sprise. Sixteen to one. With a fair show to bo J2 afore old Sal crosses tho lino agin." Tho llevlow proposes to Hue each real estate agent who does not locato 'at least I) 'A families in the next ninety days. This means 100 fnmilics, or COO persons more for tlia lower penin sula. Now, do your duly. Ono day something will "drop" and then Tho Hevicw will demand fiOOO in 1)0 days, nnd get them, too. roBtoflko Mattors. It is not generally knows, perhaps, that n postoillce is rnted by tho num ber of stamps cancelled, nnd not by tho (tiantity of stamps sold, let it is n fact. Tho class, tho standing nnd salary' of Hi" postmaster is fixed by the number of letters which pass out ward tlirouuh thu mails, through his olllce. The postmaster may sell ten thousand dollars worth of stamps, yet If he cancels only llvo hundred dollnn1 worth of stamps, thu remaining ninu thousand llvo hundred dollars' worth of business wus done for nothing, ex cept, perhaps, what glory thero might be in it. With tho postal authorities ot Washington the character of the town Is estimated by the number of stamps cancelled, and Kistal accom modations given accordingly. The re sult is. the iK'iiili nru directly respon sible for our local ilnl facilities. If wo want them improved, see thnt ev ery letter you wrilo Is mailed nt the St. Johns iKislofflrc. We nro sure it is n mntter of thoughtlessness on the pnrt of many, that letters nro sent "down town" to bo mulled. Malls leave here morning And evening, nnd v ill reach their destination just ns quick if mailed here as if dropped In a box in Portland. Ixicnl pridu is nt stake in this mntter, and if you wnut to help get better sistnl facilities, mull all your letters fro nitlie olllce here. ' United ArtlItn, Talr. United Artisans Assembly No. .1, have announced their fifth nnuunl fair, which will bo held at Artisans Temple, Portsmouth, December M, 15, 111 and 17.

Sweetser, State Dlolo L'iut mid Professor of lHolotrv at tho statu university at Eugene, was in St. Johns last week making insjKJCtlon or. tho water works system. This is in connection with several months study which ho has been conducting1 at tho request of tho water company with tho view to finding tho causo of odors nris ing from water in the ends of tho pipes w!ire there is little circulation. Prof. Sweftser announced that so far he had been unable to find anything which would produce disease of any kind and that ho Intended to continue his search as requested by tho water company. He took cross sections of the pipe for microscopic examination. The work which Prof. Sweetser is do ing is supplemetary to investigations carried on at the request or tue water company by Dr. Woods Hutchinson of the State Board of Health. Dr. Hutchinson has made a bacteriologi cal analysis of the water, and be too has been unable to find anything in the water which is in the least harm ful The water company mow inclin ed to trace to the bottom tne cause oi the odor arising fron the water in some of the pipes.
