The City Taking Forward Steps of
Inter.
That Saint Johnsjis now bouiul
to move along toward a point
where more teal business enterprise
will be manifest is indicated by
recent transfers of realty in which
large sums are involved, Phis city
is destined to become a factor in the
manufacturing line of Portland
because sagacious business men arc
putting good money, into the dis
trict and the availability of this
locality is easily seen by those who
investigate. t
This week C. K- lliiighain, a
banker nnd capitalist of Scuttle,
Washington, has purchased from
H. L. Powers a "(Joo-foot water
front here and has also secured a
large tract of upland- The first
mentioned will be-put to business
uses while the latter will at once
be platted and disposed of as resi
dence tracts. The consideration
for this property is (Understood to
be $36,000. ,
The Water Front j,and Company
has also sold its water frontage of
640 feet to prominent Portland cap
italists for $15000. The purchasers
do not, at this time, desire their
names to appear ah owners as
there are other matters just flow
that arc "in the uir'V which prom
ise soon to laud. 1
Tint Rkvikw is in a position to
know of several enterprises now on
tap but refrains from publishing
anything regarding them just now,.
There are times when positive
statements would uniicar too much
like an attempt to "boom" the
city. The bare mention of these
sales, however, indicate hov, laud
In this vicinity is being looked Uoii
by-those who have carefully con
sidered the opportunities.
Authorities Are Trying To Stop The
Unclnd Bathers.
Residents nlong the water-front
arc finding much fault with the
boys who violate all sense of pro
priety oy insisting in enjoying
tue water in a perlcctly nude con
dition. It seems queer that boys
some ot tucni almost grown men
should so far forget what is due
to society as to make exhibitions
of themselves yet the acts which
have taken place this reason are
not the result of thoughtlessness.
Along the water-front dwell those
who are just as fond of their homes
- and who are just as careful and
upright citizens us those who
reside in other portions of the city.
it is neither rlgut nor decent that
those boys who seek the coolness
of the water should do so without I

But Five Votes Against Bond
New PrliKipal Chosen.
The proposition to issue bonds of
$10,000 in this school district for
the necessary addition to the school
house was tip to the voters on
'IM.- ....... 1
Ii.lUIIUUy, X ilC IlltlllCI HUH ircVIl
very thoroughly discussed about
town while Tint Kkvip.w had
columns of matter pertinent to the
question. It has advocated the
issue of these bonds and the result
was shown at the rails.
' Against the bonding proposition
there were but five votes cost
hence the question may be said to
have been settled almost unani
mously in favor of the additional
school building by this issue of
bonds. The vote was not as large
as the importance of the , question
justified but that can be accounted
for on the grounds that there was
known to be no opposition to the
point at issue.
In the election of u member of
the school board to succeed J P.
Poff who, by the way, refused
positively to again be on the board
H. W. Brice was chosen. Mr.
Dricc seems to be one of those who
are business-like in action and
those who know him assert that
the purposes and aims of the school
will not go backward under his
regime. J. E. Tanch was easily
chosen to succeed himself as secre
tary of the board a position he
has ably filled the past year. The
new board will have a busy year
ere comes auomer election.

Kim's Bulldin'i, Jr Wt, 9i. MA
On
the
and
Work Has Now Commenced
Jersey Street Imfrovcmcnt.
Work began on Monday at
northerly cud of Jersey street,
Messrs. Rogers & Wjydle arc hard
at it. The delay in commencement
of the work has proven bad for the
contractors iecause the ground has
somcwhut dried out while the
figures given were based Uxu put
ting the work through while the
ground was yet mellow.
l)y a bit of technical oversight in
defining the improvement district
it Iccame necessary to either com
mence the whole business from the
start which would make 11 three
months' delay or secure from all
owners of abutting protwty entire
waivers of all rights. The latter
course was adopted and till signed
with the exception of Mr. Carr,
owner of the projierty occupied by
the Hazclwood creamery. What
his objections were have not been
shown: but his refusal to sign de
layed the commencement of the
work several duys and at the end
the improvement work commenced
without his signature.
A big gang of men is now at
work ulong Jersey street and the
way in which plows, scrnjers and
wheelers are pushing around is
good to see. Practically the grade
is to be lowered nil along the street
from where J. II. Crook resides to
a point near the large school house
The railroad track will also have
to be re arranged and, we under
stand, lowered in some spots and
elevated in others. The street is
to be gravelled as soon us graded
and a fine plank walk built along
hntli siden of it the entire leniFtli.
Kvery bit of property along Jersey
suits of any sort: one might as well
make a practice of trotting about
Jersey street, or going into places
of business, in the same lack of
costume. Yet none of these bathers
would think of doing such a thing
under any circumstances!
This sort of work noes on not
only in Saint Johns but along the
full length of the Willamette. In
n recent Suuduy trip up the river
a few miles several groups of lioys
ami men seemed to delight in los
ing while truiuload after traiulond 1
of passengers passed. Police in
every locality are after these crit
ters but as u usual thing they
arrive Unii tlie spot just a moment
after. J. P. Pones, of St. Johns,
who is moii the Portland iKiliee
force, succeeded last Saturday in
arresting a handful of these unman
ly brutes: and there are others who
will be haled into court very soon
if the local olice force can succeed
in getting a grip upon them.
A two-bit costume will fill the
bill for any bather and no one is
too hard up to spend that amount
when necessary for eleauliiUrss.
It's either a Imthiiigsuit fig leaves
or something or up to the mag
istrate's office. And two bits will
not pay the exeuse of that trip.
. Was IJadly Hurt.
Milo I,ee was seriously injured
Tuesday morning at the woolen
mill and at first it was believed
his injuries would prove fatal. Dr.
llensel was at once called to the
sot and made examination. lie
found I.ce's left side hadlycoutuscd,
his left arm broken and mangled,
mid the left ear torn off so it was

Ail ambulance was at once phoned
for and the injured man was taken
soon after dinner to Saint Vincent's
hospital.
Mr. I.ee wus working upon 11
big belt in the basement of the
mill, when his shirt was caught by
a long set screw xm a revolving
shaft. The result is mentioned
above although the machinery was
stoped as quickly as possible.
Mr. I.ee has Ik-cii at work for the
company six years coming here
when the plant wus removed to
Saint Johns, He is 41 years of
age and a wife and six children 1
are deK'iideut upon his earnings.
His former home was in Dunn
county, Wisconsin, It is safe to
say that the injured man will be
confined for several weeks ere he
can be about.

members of the Methodist choir
and church, who called to give the
newly wedded couple a serenade.
The guests were invited into the

Mrs. Wilson ;'and nice refreshments
were served. The affair was very
enjoyable,

Was a Schemer.
When "Dick" Shcpard tit; other
day moved from his old home di
rectly across the street he disliked
to hire 11 dray for so short 11 haul,
After his wits worked a short time
lie decided to ask five of his male
acmiututuuces to his house to'
"look at his cherries."
When they were there and had
surveyed the nrcmises Dick re
marked, "Ily George, boys, but
say! I'm obliged to get this stuff
over to that house and I forgot to 1
order u dray tin here! Aiut I in a .

These tlots ore located on Jersey street, three blocks
from cur Hue and
Near the Great Weyerhiuser Mill Site.
Don't pay $350 and 400 for building lots only 100
feet deep, and without alleys, when you can get .extra
sized lots with 1 6-foot alleys, all high and level, and in
the best locality in St. Johns for $200 and upwards.
Let us show you this property. Wc can sell only
the first fifty lots at these prices. This is done to ad
vertise the property. When these are sold prices will
advance 2 per cent.
Within one year, when the great Weyerhauser mill
Sis in operation, these lots will be worth double the pres
cut prices,
