Officltl Ktwipipir of lh Ottr of Ut Joan FRIDAY EVENING, March 31,1905 DON'T UHWHVIv IT. It is unsafe to believe nil you henr these few remaining days before election. Roorbacks and stories of all kinds will lie rife, and tcddlcd about with a diligence and tiersistcncy worthy of n better cause. When you hear a politician talking about ti candidate s tHir.son allty, don't believe it. Its politics and poor politics at that. The dnya of mud-slinging and tiersonnl yltutierntloii are over. A new era has dawned, and the man whose political capital consists in personal abuse of an opponent, is himself unworthy to be trusted, Ily defil ing another no man can make him self clean. In the old days those methods were in vogue, but they are things of the long past, and no gentleman of today resorts to Mich ancient methods. The question with each aspirant for office should not be, "Is he a gentleman? ' but rather, "Am I a gentleman?" I is a ngni com, gentlemen, but it is i .,!, .,,i nil ,,r ii. i, above par ; all over the world. You ,j0nable features, and try, by an will find It to your advantage to mnm t.fror, , secure a perfect use it on all occasions. Do not .,, ,,. , . . .... . ......... anii.se yonr rivals, i neir sense 01 looks colorless. When a prism is used, however, all its component parts are revealed, each color stand ing out in bold relief, with the line of demarcation sharply drawn be tween it and all the other colors. To its opposers the charter of St. Johns presents itself as a black ob ject, JJIack is not properly a color. It is the absorbent of all colors, and, ordinarily, is not pleasing to the eye. It is too somber in appear aiice. Green and red ami blue arc indis tinguishable to the person who is color-blind. They all look black to him. This is his misfortune, but when he tries to convince all others that blue, green and red arc black, then it is his fault, and tlie person to whom lie is talking must be color blind also if he cannot distinguish the difference. Isn't it better to put the charter of bt. Johns under election but it docs not intend to make a fight for, nor against any special ones. All it wants is to see fair play and it hopes, as do all the best man may win. Notice of City Election.

Do you realize what this means? It means tlie immediate construction of the largest and finest Saw Mill in the world, by the greatest lum ber concern in the world. It means a monthly pay-roll in the near future of probably 550,000. It means that St. Johns is the finest Natural Loca- tton aud 1ms the finest Deep Water Harbor in the Pa cific Northwest, and fliis fact was certified to by the Greatest Lumber Co. in the world, when the check for $100,000 was signed.
