Sunday Evening Lecture.
"The Spring Klection and its I5f-
fect upon the future of St. Johns"
was the theme of a very earnest
talk by Rev. McVikcer.at theKvan
gelical church Sunday evening.
Hie subject was very creditably
treated and some plain truths were
brought out. 1 he saloon and its at
tendant evils received the most at
tention, und while no attempt was
made to bring out new facts, the
most effective argument was that
lis admitted evil was a noor invest
ment from a business point of view;
it would cast more to properly pa
ce the city if saloons were permit
ted than the license paid would
amount to, which is a self-evident
fact. The speaker dwelt upon the
evil as being more serious at this
particular time than at auv other.
because the cleaning up process at
Portland is driving a mast undesir
able class to seek other fields for
plying their nefarious practices, and
if saloons were licensed here St.
Johns would receive its share of
them. They follow saloons. Take
a town without saloons and you
find few of the sporting element.
A large audience listened atten
tively to a very interesting talk.

ST. JOHNS LUMBER C0A1PANY.
A Practically New Enterprise That
is Doing a Big Business.
A Stroll in (he South End.
One may form some idea of the
rapid advance St. Johns is making
taking a stroll over the city. Out
on Columbia boulevard just east of
the school house, A. A. Muck and
L. R. French have each a building
undar construction. The buildings
tire te be brick veneered in front,
five double doors, and two single
doors in front. Mr. Muck's build
ing is to have three flats, and Mr.
French's two, with all modern im
provements. The two buildings
have a total frontage of about 200
feet with a cement side walk in front
which the workmen are now pre
paring to by. The buildings will
contain five storerooms, and Messrs.
Kelley and Plummer, the contract
ors,' say the structures will be corn-
It is the policy of The Review to
let the world know what the people
of St. Johns arc doing and how they
do it. It is by far the busiest little
city in Multnomah County, and its
people arc proud of the fact that
within its municipal boundaries some
of the ablest and most progressive
business men in the Northwest arc civ
gaged in extensive industrial enter
prises. Many ot these institutions
have already been briefly mentioned in
these columns and there is abundant
space herein for a more extended de
scription later on.
I he St. Johns Lumber Company,
practically a new enterprise, for it
wits established here only eighteen
months ago, is doing an excellent
business under the careful mamit'c-
incut of Mr. A. S. Douglass. It
employs from thirty to thirty-five
men ten hours a day, who turn out
about 25,000 'feet of fine lumber be
tween breakfast and supper time each
lay. 1 lie capacity of the null is
about 40,000 feet per day, and it cost
about saa.ooo to "plant it." I he
market for the output of this mill
i both local and "foreign" that is,
a coixiilcrahlc portion of its product
is shipped by rail and river outside
of Multnomah County.
Manager Douglass, who is a man
of mature age nnd extended experience
in the sawmill business, is much
pleased with the volume of business
the company has so far done, and
gratified with the promise of a steady
increase. A rumor was current to
the effect that the mill would soon
c enlarged, but the report could not
e verified this week.
An excellent force of experienced
mill men do splendid work with this
ittle nlnnr, under the direction of n
very competent and progressive man
ager. Many larger mills turn out a
smaller output than the mill of the
St. Johns Lumber Company.
A visit to bt. Johns by imynne in
terested in the phenomenal growth
of this little city will convince the ob
serving skeptic that it enjoys the pres
ence nnd stimulous of a greater num
ber of active industrial enterprises
than any other city of its population
in the Northwest. And they arc ac-
na tl A I
tivc. nicy arc an ousy. nn an-
ithcr item upon which they should be
congratulated is found in the fact
that they arc all prosperous. I his, in
a measure, accounts for the extraor
dinary progress St. Johns has madr
during the last two or three years.
Wc Certainly Will Have One.
That the dock question is a vital
one is not questioned. The steamboat
men appreciate the importance ol n
dock. Here is a letter received by
President Douclass, of the Commer
cial Association, in regard to the mat
ter, from the agent of the Vancou
ver Transportation Co., which oper
ates the steamers Lurline and Un
dine. It reads:
Portland, Or., Feb, 27, 1Q05.
Mr. A. S. Douglass, St. Johns, Or.
Dear Sir: I am prone to see that
the Commercial Club has taken hold
of the matter of better dock facilities
at St. Johns. I consider this one
of the most helpful moves to your
cruwing city. There is scarcely
day that wc do not have to refuse
freight or passengers for your city.
because you have no dock. You can
never have a prosperous city on the
water front without proper dock ac
comirodations.
Dry Dock Motes,
The schooner S. T. Alexander is
on the dry dock having her hull
cleaned and painted. Immediately
thereafter she will proceed to Port
land, where she will load lumber
f r the return trip to San Pedro.
The barkentine Koko Head, from
the Hawaiian islands will be dry
docked as soon as she arrives for
a general overhauling, after which
she will proceed to Portland, to take
on a cargo of Oregon hr tor the
orient. She is under charter to the
Pacific Export Lumber Co.
The steamer John McCracken, a
tender for the Port of Portland was
taken off the dock this week. She
was raised to have her propeller
tightened and to permit of other
minor work being done.
Last Sunday was an ideal spring
day, and St. Johns was thronged
with visitors I he real estate of
ficers were besiged, but to no pur
pose, the dealers were doing a little
"recreating" themselves.

A MIDNIGHT BURGLARY.
St. Johns not Outdone But Has a
Burglary.
It has Ln quite fashionable
among our sister cities to have bur
glaries, nnd St. Johns began to des
pair of ever being able to compete
with them, but at last the expected
happened.
It occurred last Sunday night and
the postofficc was the scene of the
crime, and the reason the festive
burglar did not secure 300 was
that it was not there. 1 he post
mistress, Mrs. Clark sends the
money to Portland every afternoon
and has it deposited in a safety dc.
posit vault. The burglar secured
only ss orG, mostly in pennies.
hntrance was effected by boring
out the lock In the rear door. The
whole place was ransacked but, Mrs,
Clark having taken the precaution
to remove the stamps nothing was
secured but ikmiuics.
The robbery was not discovered
until Mrs. Clark otieneil the oflice
Monday morning; although Mrs.
Tyner. of the Central hotel over the
postoflice. heard some strange noises
during the night but had no suspic
ion of what it really meant.
This still further emphasizes the
need of n local bank, which we
hope to have in the near future.
