The present right of way via Northern lull to binith s crossing will be abandoned and the track torn up. lo many the new route appears to ucrease the distance from Ports mouth to St. Johns.

The spectacle of it man nicely set tled in a rocking chair on the front poich singing "The Lord Will Pro vide," while his wife was in the back yaid cutting kindling and dig ging potatoes was one of the sights that greeted the passeiby in St. Johns recently.

Yesterday morning there were 501 mpils in the public school. This is 1111 increase 01 150 over the same time last year. All the rooms in the main building are full and the two rooms of the ortabIe are in use. The school board have elected Miss Dauuof Kvnusvlllc, Wis., and Miss l.elah Chase to take care of the overflow. It is estimated by the first of November 550 pupils will be enrolled. Many have asked The Review to call attention to the charred debris of the I lallberg building on Jersey street and ascertain whether it can not be moved. All will admit that it is unsanitary and unsightly and something that does not impress the visitor favorably. II this pile of refuse was in somebody's back yard it would be a cause for action by the o.ird of health. Why not let the sanitary department of the city rec ognize it in its present location ? Mr. Billings Douglass and Miss Hess Hstella Butt, two of our twpu- ar young people, were united in the loly bonds of matrimony on Satur lay evening, September 15, 190ft, at the home of the groom's brother, . Douglass at 321 Decatur street. After the ceiemouy, which was per formed by Rev, Fred J, Warren in us usual neat style, the party pro ceeded to the home of the groom's father, A S. Dougla-s, where an elegant wedding dinner was served. 1 he newly married couple departed amid a snowcr ol congratulations for Southern Oregon, where they will spend their honeymoon. I'pon their return they will take up their residence in St. Johns. A game of base ball was played at the Hill grounds Sunday after noon between the Montavilla team and the locals, resulting in a vic tory for the former by a score of 13 to 7, Owing to the" fact that only four of the regular local club made their apearaiice on the grounds, a badly patched up nine was lined up to represent St. Johns. This, to gether with the miserable exhibi tion of a Montavilla man who es sayed to do the umpiring, was the cause of the locals' undoing. As their opK)iients refused to play un less the Montavilla man presided, the home team submitted. Had the full team been 011 hand the lo cals would have had a pudding. Just what two young misses can do when they start out to do some thing has been given a practical demonstration by Miss Mildred L. demons of University Park and Miss Lillian McVicker of St. Johns in the Journal contest just ended. The vim and jcrsisteucy of these slips of girls is worthy of imitation by people of mature years. Day in and out for three mouths they strove for the prize. The task was not au easy one. The pace wus a terrific one and it was a hard, bruising race from the start. There was not a moment of idleness and neither re laxed their vigilance until the end. Considering their field the scores of these young ladies were the best of them all. The happy ending of the contest is that both secured the prize they were after. INTERESTING Was the Meeting of the Commer cial Club. A fair attendance and an interest ing meeting was the r:sult of the session of the Commercial Club Wednesday evening. After the minutes of the last meeting hnd been read and approved C. M. Bishop of the state fair ex cursion committee made a detailed report of the receipts and extendi turcs. To nrrange for minor details the committee was given another week in which to make a complete report. In order to close the record and discharge the committee the secre tary was instructed to nsk for a de tailed report of the collections nnd disbursement from those having the I'ourtliof July celebration in charge. As the committee appointed to in vestigate as to the non-landing ot boats at the city dock reported the attending piles still protruding it wns'coutinued lor nuotner week. A letter from the Columbia ISugi neering Works, n steel casting con ecru of Portland, was read a second time. This company claims to be the only one in its line on the coast. It is desirous of locating in St. Johns, and asks what inducements would be offered. At present about 1 10 men were employed in its shops. I he secretary was instructed to confer with the magazine advertis ing committee nud ascertain what had been done. The secretary made a detailed re port on the advertising subscription list. His figures showed the amount collected, paid out, funds 011 hand, und bills payable. The bill of f from Knight & Glover for hall rent was ordeted paid. An invitation of the Oaks man agement to come over some fine evening and go through nil the at tractions at half price was accepted, and W. It. King nud W. It. Swen gel weie apH)iuted as the commit tee of arrangements. The knitting mill proposed for St. Johns came up for thoioiigh dis cussion, and was heartily indorsed by nil present. As 11 result of the talk Messrs. King, Swcngcl, llishop and Wood were npointcd 11 com mittee to inquire into the pioposi lion. Tliis kind of weather makes one feel glad he lives in Oiegon.

So far about 2,000 hunter's li censes have been issued by County Clerk Fields. Averaging ten birds and 100 cartridges to the license one has a faint idea as to the xwdor ex ploded and the game killed, Maud Creffield and Ivsther Mit chell are having their inning at Se attle this Week, and the ghost of the departed Holy Roller leader is hovering over that city, according to the belief of the murderers, A frisky Fresno ball player burn ed his sky piece 011 the Portland grounds Wednesday because his club was defeated the day previous. It would have leeu more appropri ate to burn Mitchell's bat which was rcsjKiusiblc for Fresno's defeat. New buildings are being erected and various improvements are being made throughout the city limits with undiminished vigor. If the price of building material had not soared to sticii a lieiglit, it is quite likely the number of new buildings would have almost doubled. As it is St. Johns has good reason to feel proud of her progress during the past year. Rev. John M, Fcrgusdh, Sunday School Missionary for the Presby tery of Portland, was in the city on Thursday. His mission here was for the purpose of looking the city over with the end in view of secur iug a suitable location for the estab lishment of a Presbyterian church. Rev. Ferguson stated that the time for mission schools in St. Johns had passed and that a church here was an absolute necessity. He nlso stated that the edifice would le modem in all its appointments and a credit to the city. Good Paint Used Right LOOKS RIGHT Tope & England Decorators: French Block. St. Johns. Central Bar. SM.
