As he sat there pondering how he would Invest his surplus salary after pay ing for his new auto, his dreams were interrupted by the entrance of a man ami, what was better yet, a woman. I lie judge instantly killed his cigar by tupping the ash end against the gilt window-casing, dotted lus ltat and safd: "Goal morning!" "Morning, judge. Say, can you marry us right off quick?" replied the visitor. "Well, I'm from Missouri and I can 'show you' that my marrying holds good anywhere you can find it I" answered the astute judge, as he proceeded to arrange his tie and get ready lor mislne&s. "All right, go ahead! This is us," continued the visitor, "This is the girl and I'm to be her husband. Now get to itl' Just then Marshal Hanks and C. belief that a iool had been formed and 11 ixir cent added for all profits. The matter was laid over one night that the recorder miulit have the bidders present to explain matters. Mayor King called attention of the council to the fact that the water comiKiiiy was ready to con sldcr an otter for the eutite water plant being unxioiis to sell its holdings. Considerable discussion followed us to the probable cost, the feasibility of purchase, the twssibility of issuing lrauds, etc. Incidental to this talk was brought up the point that the water service at present was" far Iwlow that ex pected by the people, the quality and quantity of water Indug supplied being not conducive to health or comfort. Uy a desire of the council J, H. Shields was deputized to serve a written notice upon the water company, praying tliat tne service be at once made good and it would day and none Willi tlie boat at night. Mr. Campbell had imtxmaul business which necessitated cither telephonic communication or his presence. In default of the former he wns forced to adopt the latter and He much regretted the fact. Said he: "If that dry dock ever catches fire the fircboat would be needed, a a - ' nut unless some means is taken to secure letter telephone service the dock would be gone before we could hear of it. I am told that loles have lecn set, ready to string wire, direct to the dock but up to this time the work hasn't leen done. The question should be agitated because much dctHMids tiH)ii quick action and there is ti possibility that the matter has skipped the heads of the depart ments." Mr. Campbell then took up the question of the water supply of St. Johns. He knows the needs of this city and realizes what It would mean if a fire should attain much headway in the business jwrtion of tne town, wiien asked if the fircboat would come to Saint Johns in case an alarm was sent in, Mr. Campbell nt once replied: "Yes, sir; the boat would be sent at once if it was needed and call should be made. That is one reason why you should have better telephone service so you could get us quickly. It required 34 minutes to get to the dry dock this morning so we are sure that we could get busy in Saint Johns in half an hour. Hut you know the boat is not capable of doing work more i iinn 1000 icet iron) tne snore or dock. If one of the mills should catch fire we could do lofs of good and we would, too, if notified!" i suggestion was then made that 11 six-inch main be laid from the new dock up the hill to Jersey street and nil arrangement made at that juncture whereby n con nection could be made with the fire plugs. Fire Chief Ciimpbill was highly enthusiastic over such 11 plan. Said he: "That would be the procr thing. As it is now your water force is not adequate tor the city's needs. I.et a strong fire break out at the cud of one of your blocks nud, unless you had outside assistance, or could handle the fire with oiii of your chemical engines the whole block would lc a goner.

Unci ' beeu consummated, the judge and J ' the two witnesses prepared to salute the bride. But the groom interposed. Said he: "Go slow, there, go slow. You don't have to do that, judge, an' I know it. Yon tall fellow, he can't neither. As fer the young lad- well, I don't care, provided the missus wants it But I guess I rather pay the money and let you all go out and get a smoke." "Two dollars," murmured Judge Hanks and the entire scene was over. Tne nappy couple went jiorth on the next car, length of time the city authorities should take steps to remedy the to Tuesday evening, At the Brick Yard. The output of the first kiln of brick burued in this city is now before the public. So far as quality is concerned, the brick have a clear ring aud are nicely burned the shape, however, is not clean and square. Tins detriment, Manager Loy informs us, is the fault of the machine, which was not a good one, although it was highly endorsed by the manufacturers. A sew machlae of large capacity is bow on toe way from unio anu when this shall have been installed and properly started- the pressed brick will be the real pressed brick. The new machine will be of large capacity and the amount of brick turned out wiu oe targe. 11 win receive power from the sew 75 horse-power electric motor recently nstalkd. , He Tumbled, riie other day when N. A. Gee was working on u louiidatiou n Stranger went to him and said: "Are you the old boss who has the coutract for this cement work?" "I am the gentleman, sir, who has the contract," replied Mr. Gee, as he drew himself proudly up into the, air. "I'm uo 'old boss' I'd have you to know!" "Oh, you re not, elif returned the stranger, "Well, if you're not a 'boss' why don't you change your initials?" and he walked away. And then N. A. G. smiled and went back to work, Subscribe for Thk Rxvikw. Looking After Mining. N. J. Bailey, who has long been an important factor iu the Portland Manufacturing Company, has re linquished his position and is scouring about the country, having a good time. Iast week he was up 1 don't right up Richmond street to Jersey there' d be .something doing when the fircboat commenced work. If the pie was so trupjK-d that a flow Could be made into the city main direct we could send water all over the city iu splendid s!iuje -if we didn't burst your pijcs. The firelHxit can throw 30000 gallons of water a minute and that's going some. She can do better than that; but if we should send that amount of water up that long hill at that rate your fire coinimny could put out any fire that showed up. " to !o sure, the boat could not commence work till about thirty minutes after your fire chief had 'phoned us for aid; aud again, there would 1k one chance iu a thousand that the boat would le iu use iu I'ortlaiKl; but tlie chances are against tlie latter. W hat a .splendid thing it would be to have a firelKmt within call and to know thut when a fire started there would soon be a vast quantity of water! Tin! Kkvikw should suggest this' pipe question and see how the Ijx'oplc of Saint Johns would look, upon It. 1 ixMieve it would be a great factor in reducing the rate of insurance aud a rate of from eight to ten per cent ought to be reduced. And here's my street," concluded Mr. Campbell, "I'm off now. We'll get the fircboat back to I'ortlaiKl tonight. Come iu aud see me when you have time, aud forget that method of fire These lots are located on Jersey street, three blocks from car Hue and Near the Great Weyerhauser Mill Site. Don't pay 350 and $400 for building lots only too feet deep, and without alleys, when you can get extra sized lots with 1 6-foot alleys, all high and level, aud in the best locality iu St. Johns for $200 and upwards. Let us show you this property. We 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 35 per cent. Within one year, when the great Weyerhauser mill is in operation, these lots will he worth double the pres ent prices.
