The reopening of negotiations looking towards 11 resumption of work on Hayes nnd other streets was the cause of a little reunion and heart to heart talk between the road graders and the members of the Cy clone Food Co. and their numerous friends and patrons. The affair was given under the auspices of the food company, nnd the management did themselves proud. lfor the con venience of those who fell in the early part of the festivities wheel barrows were backed up to the r nr door as early us to o'clock. The piano had been keyed up to concert pitch for the occasion and floor given a clean coat of sawdust. Among the contractors present were SOMETHING About Chemical I-aglnes nnd Plre Protection. There is now housed at the fire house at the city's risk a pair of cyl inders mounted on n pair of wheels that a Portland firm is trying to sell to the city of St. Johns for S750, This machine is called a chemical engine. A practical demonstration of its efficiency was given by nn ex pert Tuesday evening in the rear of the city. A lively ITrush fire was brought under control and put out in a very short time. It was a good exhibition, and demonstrated the efficiency of chemicals in squelching a fire. The man in charge under stood his business and displayed the machine to advantage.

Kcgrets were received from the Charleston street outfit. Resplendent in a white vest and a new Prince Albert President Pet erson called the meeting to order. In a beautiful voice and with great effect Capt. Gee sang " I.ost on the Grade, or How Mollie Died." Col. Moxon intimated that Mollie handed in her time 011 account of the hot weather and an overdose of barley. Capt. Gee swore it was the hots and Hard work thai did t lie trick, and was promptly called to order by the chair. The statement Secretary-Treasu rer Ogdeu that there was f O..10 in the treasury led Manager Smith of the crawfish department to suggest a recess of fifteen minutes be taken. Nothing was accomplished dur ing the recess vxeept the almost to tal annihilation of Major Nutting, who, in mi unguarded moment asked the meaning of the word graft. When order was restored Clam lixiHirt Shepard electrified all pres ent by the exhibition of a pair of matched horse clams with docked tails. The exhibition met witli vo ciferous applause. An offer of $200 for the pair by Private Cochran was reiusetl. The duet by a pair of Ogden's let bull frogs, entitled "You'll Never Cash Your Warrants Until the People Pay Their Hills," brought down the house, iMie festivities closed by 11 narra- There is no denying the efficiency ol chemicals. Statistics show that three-fourths of the incipient fires are put out by the use ol chemical engines. Then, why not buy one ? After the exhibition the expert offered his machine to the city. He made an impressive speech, and of fered stK'cial inducements if the city would buy the machine. He did not cate for the money or the conditions of payment. The city could make its own terms. All he wanted was that it would buy. He read from a pacr the list of articles hichulcd in tile sale, not forgetting to enu merate 11 box of polish to scour up the bright work. What he wished to convey was the fact that thu coun cil could make the teimsof sale. The money would come some time. Kverybody knew the city was good for it. The result was that Aid. Norton made a motion that the city buy the machine. Aid. Hewitt had been listening, mid he amended Aid. Nortiou'H mo tion by offering to rent the machine pending an actual demonstration of , its sucrior qualities. The expert was uotcmHwcrcd to make these terms, and the matter went over for 11 week pending con sultation with the manager of the chemical concern. The Review does not wish to de cry the merits of the machine or as sail the reputation of the firm offer- ! iug it. The machine must be worth tive of deep sea fishing by the presi-1 the money, for it sells at the price dent. There was some doubt about asked. the truth of the tale.

After the benediction was pro nounced it was found that the re union had lost .three members via the wheelbarrow route. This breach of etiquette was excusable from the fact that the dear departed were from Portland, and were not used to life in a real live town, STATE FAIR St. Johnltcs nnd Friends Will do by Special Train. If the plans of the Commercial Club are curried out all the St. Johns people who wish can go to the state fair ut Salem by .siecial car, taking the train for the fair at this point. Arrangements nave already oeeu made to the end that if sixty tK-ople can be secured a sjK'cial car will be furnished, and tlie car will be side tracked at a convenient xiut 011 the water front so that all may take the train at this point instead of Port land.

Those who have been seen in re gard to the affair are inclined to be lieve that two carloads of excursion ists can easily Ihj secured. The mayor and city council will un doubtedly head the delegation, and the business men will be well repre sented. Besides educating themselves the people of St. Johns will gain a lot of advertising for themselves and the city. Decide to go I Talk with your neighbors and friends and induce them to go.

All aboard I have been clamorous for their money, even sending after it by so cial messenger. Only last week the city paid them fyoo. This is nil right and proper, and it proves conclusively there is 11 pay day. It well known that there are no funds 011 baud to pay for this chem ical engine. It is too exeusive at present. Why not procure a light wagon and purchase 11 nail doen fire extinguishers and have them in readinehs lor use. I wo ol Uivm? outfits could be maintained in differ ent parts of the city for less money than the chemical now in town will cost. A half a do.eu fire extin guishers of different sizes on a light cart or wagon will be easily handled nnd prove as effective as the clumsy hand chemical, 1 ! Lend Your Assistance.
