The boulevard planned on the hills opposite the city will bring hundreds of people St. Johnwards. Despite the attempts of the strik ers several saw mills arc running. Hoth sides say thev have nothing to nrbitratc. Over 2,000 men have been thrown out of employment. A through car between St. Johns and Portland would be well patron ized even if the fare should be in creased to ten cents. There is a demand for it. The Review be lieves if the railroad officials could have the matter laid before them the experiment of running these through cars at least twice a day each way would be tried. SOLD TOO CHEAP There is some consolation in the fact that other cities besides St. Johns tire having their political troubles. Newspapers nt the Same 'rice With Cost Greatly Increased Chicago Made: If any class of business men ever had good reason for the formation of a trust with a iew of advancing prices, the press nf tlilu rrmtilrv tre;eiit t tint iimtlfi t -. ' ' iionicsccKcrs ,. nt tli t mil. middle west The white paper alone on which many pa tiers are printed costs more than is paid by the purchaser for the printed edition. The cost of white paper has been advancing for years. Printing ink never cost more than at the present time, and wages were never higher, yet the price of the output has been re tallied. I he newspapers of the country In their columns seem to point out everything in the news line pertaining to the formation of trusts in oil, sugar, paper, coal, steel, and almost every commodity in general use, but they entirely overlook the fact that they could and should point with great interest to the fact that newspapers arc sup plying the public with the news of the world under u greater expense 01 production than nt any time pre vious. while the comparative cost of advertising has not been greatly iucieaseil. The 11ewsp.1iK.TS have been in the front rank in the development of American civilization, and today they give more to the purchaser for the investment than it is possible to receive in any other channel of expeiiditutc. Any thoughtful per son who will carefully consider the incieasetl publication cost of news pajiers uiid the vast amount of in formation anil pleasure the people derive from them at old time prices win agree with us that the postage on them as well as 011 letters should be 1 educed, CANDIDATES Three thousand from the frost bitten lauded in Portland during the week, and there are more to come, for there is plenty of room in Oregon for all.

Whatever tlnmaue, if any, has been done by Oov. Chamberlain with his little veto, no one has yet been discovered who will criticize him or defend the actions of the recent legislature.

Selecting candidates for city offices has been one of the pastimes of the population of St. Johns dur ing the past two weeks. Those who have offered to sacrifice them selves for $ per meeting for a period of twelve months and to be cussed to a farcyottwell because they have not legislated soandso, have been discussed from every spur and angle. The sidewalks, stores, saloons and barber shops have held small knots of men whose conversation was something as fol lows: "Did you get an invite to the Hack Room club?" "Naw." "Who belongs to it?" "Damfino." "How's Getthere going to run?" "He couldn't be elected dog catcher." "Well, then, what's the matter witlt Jones?" "Now you're talking I He'll skin 'em to a frazzle."
