The reputa tion of the West Coast Laundry is second to none ou the coast and the increased facilities will serve to add to its fame. The differences of opinion that prevented the Philadelphia street improvements last tall nave been adjusted, and we understand as soon as favorable weather comes the widest street in St. Johns will be graded and sidewalked from the top of the hill to the banks of the Willamette. It is to be hoped the property owners will insist on a grade that will permit of teams as cending and descending the hill in perfect safety. The lesson learned in the Burlington street grade should be put to practical use by the Phila delphia street people. Unless we are awfully mistaken it will be.

One of the nastiest rain storms St. Johns has seen in years pre vailed Wednesday night and all day yesterday. There was water every where. Everybody had a had case of the blues.

As yet the ferry company have not begun the construction of their new boat, being unable to secure a practical boat builder.

"Seven cents," said the old lady, who was quite deaf. Seventy cents!" roared the drug mixer. "Seven cents! All right, here is your money," and dropping nickle and two pennies ou the counter she sailed majestically out before the astonished pharmacist had time to recover his breath. Upon being guyed by the loiterers he said he didn't care very much because he made five cents ou the deal, anyhow. Try Hinkston & Frozen' s bread.

Newly arrived residents from the east have u hard time figuiitig out why there is so much water in the wood they buy when the denier swears it is dry. Dry wood in St. Johns in winter is what they call wet wood in the east. The reason the word "dry" is used lure is be cause it commands a belter price. Whose business is it to lake care of the street crossings uud see that they are navigable? is a ques tion that a do.eu (teople asked in The Review office yesterday. As the present is the only time of year that any benefit is derived from the expense of putting the crossings it does seem that some provision should be made to keep them cleat of mud. Clias. Aruett mid W. G. Clink returned Inst Tuesday from 11 mouths visit in Illinois, Minnesota and Colorado. Mr. Aruett said in regard to to the trip: "We found everybody prosjierous.

I did not see 11 place that had the prostH-cts thut Portland has. Unless the unexpected haptens my address will continue to be St. Johns, Oregon. The following front the Koseburg Review is the truth plainly told, Nail it to the wall and read it once a week: It is little use for the local editor to waste his lungs and sprain his spine in trying to Ikjoiii a town when the cifizens all stand around with their hands in their pockets and indifferently wait for something to turn up, If the capitalists or business men do not (tut their shoulders to the wheel and do 11 little boosting, it is useless for the editor to try and boom things, He can write "boom" urticles till he gets bald headed, but if the citieus themselves do not take hold and push, the town will forever Mick in the mud. Of what use is it for the local pajier to suggest improve ments and new enterprises if the suggestions are not acted upon? One man cannot boom a town. It requires the concerted action of the cttuetis. When one man shoulders town and attempts to carry it there always a lot of cranky kickers ready to jump on top of the load. Unity ol action is what counts. Harvey Briggs, the former well known clerk at the Peninsula Bank, but now in the lumber business at Bridal Veil, Ore,, spent New Years day in the city. "You St Johnites think you have too much rain,' said Harvey, "but you ought to see the water come down at Bridal eil. It is awful. Umbrellas are of no use. We all wear oil skin coats and overalls, and even they do not last over a couple of weeks localise the rain drops bore them full of holes. And when you want to know how hard the wind blows come and see me. Our office dog only wears hair under his collar. His body is as bald as Rockefeller's bead. All the mill men come and go from work- carrying a crowhar in each hand to keep from going up 111 the air. But tons on your clothes are of no use because the wind cuts them off, and Here comes my car I" And the Adonis of Bridal Veil sprinted for the cannon ball bound for Port-laud.

During the week The Review received a letter from far-off Bangor, .Maine, inquiring about St. Johns. Mrs. F. W.

Hundley, who attempted to conduct 11 news stand ut the renin stilit Bank corner some mouths ago, is shaking bunds with himself that he was not allowed to do so. Be cause his stand occupied 11 portion of the sidewalk he was arrested for violating the city ordinance. Not apeariug for trial his procrty was confiscated nud sold, Mnuy felt sorry for Mr. Hundley. But he iMttkcktl his loss uud went to Port laud, wheie he rented 11 building nt the corner of Fitst and AlderMteets and put in 11 confectionery nud news stock. Mr. Hundley's store is near the meal market of Frank L. Smith, whose "Fighting the Beef Trust I" nds have made him uud his miitket famous. Somebody, piohahly of the opinion that Mr. Smith's adver tising was bringing him uioie than his share of business, decided to oK'ii 11 market near him. Mr. Hundley held the key to the situu lion by holding u five-year lease ou the premises desited by the oppo sition. Would he sell Ins lease ? Of course he would if he could get his price.
