NOTES AND COMMENTS
Various . Topics of Local and General
Interest Briefly and Tersely
Commented Upon
Numerous Matters Which Are Before the Public
for General Discussion
DtiritiK the past week it frosted
quite heavily in St. Johns and vicln.
ity. It Is feared, as a result, that
the prune and icncli crops arc scr
tousiy injured, tlic warm days dttr
ing the early part of the month hav
ing caused the buds to swell to
unsafe proportions. The old storv
of March coming in like a lion and
going out ns mild as a lamb was
again verified. The last days, and
especially the last day, being among
tnc most stormy ones of the whole
winter.

During the nast week Portland
has been in the throes of one of its
leriodic revivals. The whole city
lias been stirred to its depths and
the crowds, following the revival
ists, have been so great, that stand
ing room could not be secured at
many of the places where services
were held. A raid was made on
the Dad Lands, and divine services
held in the most prominent saloons
located' therein. Through this
method Kricksou, Mazier. Uros. and
I'ritz received a lot of free adver
Using, which pushed the beer busi
ness along tremendously. One of
the members of the revivalistic
corps, whose lines of life lcforc he
was converted, did nothing but zig
zag through the conduits of sin
decided to give nn epitome of his
sinful career. To the ordinary
mind this resembles a grand stand
play and is disgusting. It can do
no good for a minister to tell of his
evil life before conversion. It is
assumed by his hearers that he is a
good man now, whose duty it is
to preach Christ mid not himself.
Any reflection lie may cast upon
himself will do him, and through
him. the cause of Christianity an
injury.
The farce called an investigation
of the official conduct of Chief Hunt
is at an end. As was predicted,
Hunt wus vindicated, fully, there
lteiug nothing in the evidence to
indicate his failure to discharge his
duty, his whole duty and nothing
but his duty on all occasions. To

one who is initiated, it is a well
knowu fact that liquor can be pro
cured in either of three saloons in
the Dad Lauds, day or night, and
at any hour thereof. Men passing
along the street can hear the clink-

of drunken men break the night's
stillness. Hlue coated officers pass

The old ladv. livhie east of
Gresham, who cremated herself last
Sunday morning, was certainly an
object of-pity. Filled with melau
choly and despair she had once

life. Deserted by her first husband
she tried to end all her sufferings

now after a second marriage, which
lasted several years, she arose dur

with kerosene, she burned her life

cultivate their deformities. There
is a man living along the St. Johns
car line up towards Portland, whose
character is sadly out of plumb. He
spends an his time scheming to beat
some one out of money. His latest
scheme is to buy up all the old wells
in the country, Intending to cut
them up and peddle them out for
post holes. There is 110 doubt that
he will make sales nmomr the irold

A man said in a public speech in
St. Johns last week, "We have
been called moss backs by the Re
view and we nre tired of it." The
Review has called no man a moss
back, neither docs it intend to call
anyone by that name. It has de
scribed n class of men. If a man
places himself in that class, feels
that the shoe fits, he should put it
on and wear it. If he does not
admit it, the Review will not apply
it to him. The Review has no
apologies to offer for nuythiug it
has said on the moss back question,

Thousands of acres of arid laud
located along the Deschutes aud
John Day rivers will become profit
able during the next few years if
the irrigation scheme proves n suc
cess. These streams furnish water
in abundance, and heretofore, most
of the land on the upper Deschutes
has been useless, except for grazing
purposes. Above the Big Meadows
clouds of mosquitoes swarm during
the summer mouths aud prey on
anything that contains a drop of
blood in its veins. Travellers
through this region tell fearful sto
ries of suffering from these tiny
pests. One man tells of being cov
ered to the depth of three incites by
them, and those that could not
reach htm would crawl upon the
trees and. bark. The banks of this
part of the river are full of swamps,
where the water fowls breed, ami
where the Jersey humming birds
thrive and sing.

Joseph Smith of Mormon fame,
is the happy ( ?) husband of seven
wives and the loving father of 43
children. This is "going some,"
but if one wife is a criterion, Mr.
Smith often finds himself up ugaiust
the real tiling, especially when a
question of bonnets is involved.
However, the doctrine of Mormon
ism closes the mouths of the women
of that religion, and it may be barely
possible that Joseph never heard
the bonnet question discussed in all
its ramifications. It is stated on
good authority that the patriarch
met a lad seven or eight years old
on the streets, entered into couver-

sat ion with him, was impressed
with his brightness aud finally
asked the boy the name of his
fatlier. He was surprised when
the lad told him his father's name
was Smith, and that he was presi
dent of the Mormon church. It
will thus be seen that fatherhood
has its humorous side even among
the Mormons.

There is no religious denomina
tion extant that does so much in
the name of Christ as the Salvation
Army. These people go into the
slums and by-ways, pick up the
fallen men and women, put them
in the way aud help them to lead a
better life. They do not stand on
a pinnacle and preach dowu at their
auditors, but get down among them
and lift. Many of them are re
cruited from the class of people
they are trying to save, and know
how to appeal to them.

Candidates for the .mayoralty of
the city of Portland are as thick as
fiddlers in that abyss from which
no one ever returned except Dante.
Each one has a policy, which he
thinks, if it were carried out, would
redound to the glory of the city,
and its future prosperity. What
ever the result may be and whoever
may be elected, it is certain he
could not put into working shape
all the theories that find lodgment
in the grey matter of his brain at
the present time. Conditions which
lie could not control would present
themselves. Influences would be
brought to bear upon him, which
be would find it bard to overcome.

The outlook for the future of St.
Johns is growing brighter every
day. New business enterprises nre
being established, and a steady,
healthy growth is manifesting itself
everywhere. One of Portland s
progressive cigar makers was in
town, Monday, spying out a site
for a cigar factory. This speaks
well for the future of otir little city,
and it is to be hoped that we tuny
soon develop from the chrysolite
stage, and be able to fly with our
own wings.
