The nerve required for that move on their part was only surpassed by the stupidity with which it was managed. KesH.'etfulIy, J. II. Bl.ACIC.

A few days ago a party from .'he Dalles was coming down river 011 the Spencer and noticed that the boat sjeut much time in making mud landings to accommodate even one solitary passenger. 1 here was no kick at making any lauding lowever difficult -and a reottest was made that tlie boat let on tins party at St. Johns. This was ab solutely refused ami no excuse was given. The party refered to being in haste left the boat at Vancouver, and reached St. Johns by trolley. The dock was constructed for public convenience; it was believed that trade would le stimulatedaud all of St. Johns would be benefited. It is a pity that matters cannot be properly arranged so that boats will stop here: and we believe that a pull can be made strong enough to have a regular schedule ar ranged. At all events an effort should be made. election!" When asked why he replied: "Why?

Thread : Six spools for 25c at the St. Johns Bazar. O. R. & N. Extension. j Plans for the extension of the O. K. it N. railway from its present , terminus at the woolen mills around the peninsula have been accepted, and work is promised to commence very shortly. It continues in a northerly course ' from its present terminus, leariug a little to the west, through the Roberts tract, lears east, cuts across the southern extreme of the Gattou tract, and continues east and south. The I.add and Sim mons tracts are both caught by the survey, as it runs almost due east to the slough; and then turns southeast. It is lclicvcd that this road will bs considerable benefit to St. Johns in many ways and considerable money will be spent in its construc tion. The general idea is that it will cross the Columbia at Vancouver. WHEN BUYING YOUR GROCERIES Do not forget we carry a full line of Men's, Ladies' and Children's Underwear at right prices.
