It may be news to many of our
readers to learn that the hills oppo
site the river are dotted with sur
veyors' stakes bearing the peculiar
marks ot the men who survey
rights of way. Just what these
stakes are for or what the marks
on them mean no one knows. One
person who has extensive interests
over there says he believes they
are for a fast electric line that will
be built half way up the hill, and
which will use a third rail. An
other who claims to have inside
information says a new steam rail
road has something to do with the
survey. As it was only a short
time ago that many of us were
figuring out the marks on the
stakes that were driven in the
northern part of the city, it is
now in order to climb the hills
across the river aud put on our
thinking caps.

NEW FIRM NAME
The Old Firm Name Out
grown by the Addition
of Many New Lines.
From the first of February the
old name the St. Johns Grocery
Co. , ceased to apply to the big
store 011 the corner. The name
for several years has represented
the grocery firm, but since hun
dreds of new lines have been
added it no longer applies appro
priately to the business. Our
new furniture stove nnd hnrd
ware line filled the long link
that put us iu the line of n full
fledged department store. Wc
arc now able to furnish n house
"from cellar to gnrret." Every
new customer now puts us in n
position to sell goods cheaper
nnd to give our customers better
service. As the store grows,
each department grows, and in
this way n man or woman is put
in charge of this certain depart
ment and is held responsible for
that certain department, and is
capable of giving the very best
of service to one nnd nil. From
one clerk nnd n driver eighteen
months ngo the big store now
has four regular clerks and one
extra n part of the time, and
with the nrrivnl of the spring
months we cxect to have to ndd
another. Nothing speaks better
for our prices nnd service than
our Immense growth. During
the past week several hundred
dollars worth of groceries have
been ndded, and we will continue
to ndd to this department right
along until it meets our own ap
proval ns the most up-to-date
grocery department in Portland.
