That "Procrastination is the thio of time" lias again been verified and this time at the expense of the Citv 01 01. j onus. I he adage has been dinned into hildhood s cars since Cain first toh live to "wait a minute," I lie council contracted with To qeph Iitiglcs for a piece of property on which it was intended to build a hall. Five days were allowed for accepting it. Thc members of the council intended to take it, thc con Jtdcrnlion being Sjooo. However they let the time slip by without Iosiiiir the deal. After the'expiration of the time Mr. Kngles sold the property at an ulvnnce and now the present owcrs considers it worth about $3000. 1 litis a little delay, a little w.lit- ng and folding of the hands has 'nocked the city out of a desirable itiildiug site or has added $1000 to iu price if they wish to secure it. 111 rod Uurcl Lodge 18'), I. 0. 0.

It was given to celebrate the wonderful growth and devclot ment of St. Johns during the last two years, and to create a greater iccimg ot good fellowship among those interested in the continued progress.

Beneath a lurge wreath of ferns and Oregon grape sat President A. S. Douglass. Along the welldaden tables, sat the fathers of St. Johns aud their many friends, enjoying themselves as only the proud victors of untoward circumstances can. All were jubilant because St. Johns has risen from obscurity, and is now taking its place among the mast mportaut cities in the l'acllic coast states. In a few well spoken words, resident A. S. Douglass welcomed the numerous guests, and told why the banquet was being held, ond finished by offering a toast to Pres ident Roosevelt iu whose most prosperous presidency the city of ki. Tohns has risen to ttudvlntr O amc. J. C. Cronte acted as toastmaster, and introduced the first speak cr of the evening, Tom Richardson. Mr. Richardson's toast"Ore- gou Its development," was a ver- table treat, and his enthusiasm about St. Johns was so enthralling that every word was received with marked appreciation. ills caning f Oregon, aud particularly at. ohns. as God's country, was the finest tribute to our splendid state that could be uttered iu the assem- ly. "California, Colorado, Texas, Alaska have had the eyes ot all centered upon them, bnt now the United States has heard ot uregon, aud in that state St. Johns is at tracting world-wide attention." Mr. KilliiiKSWorth's talk, "The Peninsula Its Commercial Future" was apropos and bespoke the speak er's foresight Iu selecting the Pen- nsula as his home. "Uuild your town 011 the hills it you wisu 10 make the river front a commercial center on the l'aciuc coast; leave le river front for ludustnal homes you desire to hoive a model city," as the topic sentence of Mr. Kil- iugsworth's toast. In a voice tilled wiui eraouon Mr. Monahan told us of the city's great benefactors, P. T. Smith aud ames Johns, and tne lauers coun sel to the speaker on the purchase ot a lot across the river, let great Ight upon the faunders great fore-i sight. "St. Johns its rreseni ana future," by H. L. Powers, was full of reminiscences and brightest hopes for the city of St. Johns. "God makes the country, but tne people make the city," said the speaker, and again "five years ago had I told the residents of St. jonns tnai n a few vears sixty representative business men would be gathered to commemorate its rise to tlie summit of citydom, they would have said was crazy. ilut tuis assempiy tonight is only a forerunner of what may be expected in the next few years. Instead of 2500 population as today, one year hence it will be 5000." " Where Kons rue uregon, uy H. M.

Judge Webster entertained the audience by telling them that the county would soon be out of debt. His plea for mutual support was n most excellent tonic for city im provement. 4 'It is not people alone that we want, but self-supporting, energetic, self-sacrificing citizens arc thc bulwark of any city's growth." The judge's reason why Multnomah's highways are not the best, was clear and bespoke his wisdom iu having the wherewithal to do things first, before doing things, rather than the contrary. His announcement of bettering the county road was vociferously ap plauded, and his views on putting ferry in at St. Johns met thc hearty approval of thc listeners. The speech was one of the features of the evening. Thc judge's plans on thc betterment of the county and fat. Johns were received with the heartiest approval by nil. P. C. Knapp, of thc Peninsula Lumber Company, talked on the Industrial dcvolopment of St. Johns" and told how the company of which he is a member located here, and his statement that Port- and is going to bcoucof the grand est cities iu the states but rcilcrutcd the views of nil in attendance. Prof. Long's address on "Kd- ucatioual Institutions" was abort1 and apropos and his plea for n good ', school at St. Johns met the hearty approval of the assembly. ! "Unity and Harmony," by h. C. Hurlburt, was a fine resume of ,ang Sync" closed one of thc most important events in the history of fat. Johns, The Review has its preference among the candidates at the coining election but it does not intend to make a fight for, nor against any special ones.
