A defective Hue and green wood that filled the room with smoke sent in an alarm of fire from the residence of C. W. Potter last Fri day night. Outside of a general scare 110 damage was done. An amusing incident happened on iucsuay nltcrnooii' wlici two ladles raced madly up jersey street to catch a street car that had been standing on the track in front of Bickncr s store for a couple of days.

No mails were received for two days and the stores and rcsi deuces went back to coal oil lamps tor ligut. 1 lie cause ot the uisord er was the coating of the electric and telephone wires with Ice, causing them to break under the strain of their heavy load, While no heavy damage was done in this city it amounts to several hundred thousand dollars in Portland. The suggestions made in The Review last week in regard to an ordinance regulating all plumbing work to be done in St. Johns have been approved by many property owners. As long as a plumber, or any other mechanic for that matter, knows that he can do slip-shod work and get a first-class price for it he will do it. When there is a law describing the manner in which such work shall be done everybody is guaranteed a good job. Go after the plumbing ordinance, gentlemen of the couucil, and pass it. A stick of giant powder found on the right of way of the electric line near Peninsular station last Friday morning was the cause of several columns of sensational matter in the Portland dailies. It was alleged that the explosive was placed on the track by one of the striking street car men with the intention of killing or maiming a motorman. A street car employe who has been on the line for a number of years expresses the opinion that the stick of giaut powder was accidentally dropped on the right of way by some one engaged in blowing out the stumps on the lots now being cleared along the right of way. The iucident served as a topic for many wild stories, but the general public do not believe the strikers so blood thirsty as to resort to such a diabol ical plan to gain their end, The Review will keep you posted Ray Bullis is quite ill at his home.

There mav le economy in the electric company hiring new men to operate its cars, but the patrons of the line cannot see it.
