A little tot who attends the Con gregational Sunday school in this city had been taught by her teacher to call the church "God's house." In referriiiK to it she always desig nated it as such.

Shaw's Furni ture Store, French Block. After enjoying the May-like weather of the past week we can all sympathize with the frost bitten residents of the middle west who are now iu the midst 01 tneir win ter. Basking iu the warm sunshine and watching the plants take on new life is preferable to riding across lots and over snowdrifts that cover the fences with u hot brick or a lighted lantern between your knees to keep you warm until you get to town. Minnesota papers please copy, Here's the way a Wisconsin edi tor describes one of the recent storms that visited North Dakota: "A southeastern wind burial tumble weeds and Russian cactus through the air at a 50 tulle au hour gait and the gate went too. Many stoves were drawn through the chimneys, the strong wind blew in the neck of a bottle aud tore the bottom out. Nebraska wagon tracks passed over the town in thousands. The strain on the wire fences was so great that stop les were drawn out on the other side of the posts. A kerosene bar rel standing iu front of a grocery store was sucked out of the bung- hole and turned inside out like ladies' slipper. The dirt flew from a posthole on the hillside and left the hole sticking out of the ground about two feet, with 110 dirt around it. BIG DEAL In Realty Made by Local and Portland Capitalists. One of the largest deals in real estate made this spring was con summated Wednesday by R. Shep- ard & Co. and II. G. Ogden, the local real estate men. The tract consists of 200 acres on the opposite bank of the Willamette between the road house and Liuntoti and front ing on the boulevard. The pur chasers arc n syndicate of local and Portland capitalists. The price paid was $50,000. The tract Is one of the most sightly in this vicinity. It is the Intention of the purchasers to plat it into lots and acreage and place it on the market. The Lafe Pence electric line runs through it along the base, and two other surveys have recently been made several hundred feet higher up. There are numerous never-failing springs on the tract, insuring an ample supply of water. The portions covered with heavy timber will be cleared. As the tract is barely four miles from Portland, and will soon be connected with one or more electric lilies, the lots will 110 doubt meet with a ready sale when placed on the market. The purchasers are receiving the congratulations of their friends 011 their foresight and tact in securing this sightly and valuable piece of property. COMMERCIAL CLUB lucrens.d Attendance nnd nu Interesting Meeting. Au interesting meeting of the Commercial club was held iu I). C. Rogers & Co.'s office Wednesday evening. A fairly good attendance was present, and the work before the meeting was taken up and acted upon in a business-like manner. The reading room proposition was taken up mid discussed, and iu order to give all members of the club a chance to help the project along in a financial way it was de cided to donate the room rent free. A resolution whs ordered drawn asking President Fuller of the street car company for n business men s car to ntierntc between St. Johns and Portland, leaving each point every hour, bald car to make the run between the points named iu 40 minutes or less, ami making stops only at the principal places nlong the way. S. C. Nor ton was authorized to pieseul a similar resolution to the council for their iipmohatloii nnd support. It was decided to upoIiit n committee to take the two resolutions to Mr. Fuller ersoually when they were gotten iu shape and proicrly signed, and try to impress him with the Importance of the request prayed for. 1 he telephone non-service was lisctissed, but 110 suggestion made whereby relief could be obtained. The fact was brought out that 11 large steel plant from Portland was seeking a locution iu St. Johns for the erection of au immense steel latit. The present quarters of the company are crumiicd, nnd it is their desire to double their present capacity, so more ground is needed than they can secure near their ireseut works. A deiKit for the O. R. it N. along the water front will also be built iu the next few mouths, according to reliable information received by the club. A Slitch In Time will save nine.
