JOHNS, OREGON H"HE: White House OOOOO NEW CITY HALLN0W OCCUPIED City Fathers Met for the First Time Tuesday Evening in its New Magnificent Quarters the fire department, nviunasium.etc. 1 he city fathers met in their new architectural beauty unsurpassed banquet hall, assembly room for tepee tor me urst time last 1 uesday by nuy municipal mtiiuings in any evening. It is n superb structure, city the size of St. Johns anywhere nud one of which the city may well in the state, be proud, regardless of whatever The interior of the structure is in expense may have been incurred keeping with the outer appearance. 11 its erection, and notwithstanding the many heart burnings which we understand discussions of the var ious features of the building and different stages in its construction have occasioned. Many of our readers arc not so fortunate as to be in 11 position to visit our city halt, and for the ben efit of these nud others we will in dulge in n brief description of the structure nud promise our readers a fuller history nud good illustra tion in the near future. The building is located on the fiatiron block between Ihirliugtou, Philadelphia and Hayes streets fac ing the east, the rear overlooking the historic Willamette river; is built of brick with concrete base ment, trimmed with artificial stone and roofed with corrugated iron. The building throughout is finished with red and yellow fir finished in oil with natural color of the wood, the work being done in a most ex cellent manner, presenting a fine glossy surface. The council chain her, entrance stairways nud hall ways arc wainscoted to a height of four feet, the remainder of these rooms, the jury nud committee rooms nud the offices on the first floor being plastered with the ada mant plaster which is noted fur its indestructibility. The building is 45x71 feet, two stories nud basement. In tin. base ment will be found the fire depart ment room 18x45, boiler room for the heating plant, space for is cell cages, toilet nud vault for the old records. On the first II 00 are the mayor's The entrance is adorned with n line office, recorder's apartments, fitted portico suportcd with massive pil- with fireproof vault for present tec lars of the Ionic style of nrehitec- ords, offices of city attorney, trcas Hire, and the whole building pre- urer, marshal and city engineer, a scuts nu appearance of strength and hall 18x45 which may be used as 11 '1 he second fioor contains the council chamber, a splendid hall capable of seating about 500 people, is 38x41, and has three large com mittee or jury rooms, toilet for ladies and gentlemen, the entire suite being finished in an excellent manner. All of the.se rooms are electric lighted and have large win dows on nit exposetl sides giving our city officials good light night and day. The council chamber has been adorned with a splendid massive table for the use of the municipal solous, but is yet lacking in upholstered fiirnituic to accom modate their critics who will drop in from time to time. This defect will be remedied soon. There is as yet no staff from which to swing "Old Glory" to the breeze, but the council adopted measures nt the meeting which will supply this desirable ornament. As n whole, we may jwlut witli pride to this structure as an indica tion of the progressive spirit of St. Johns, for it is 11 building that will supply our needs when St. Julius has long passed the 10,000 mark in the growth of her imputation.

The latest development in an in dustrial way is the proposed remov al of the immense Columbia Kngiu eeriug Works, now located at Tenth and Johnson streets, Portland, to a tract of land recently acquired by this company on the water front south of I.inntoii. We understand the tract purchased contains about 175 acres, and that their plant which now occupies a whole block will be materially increased. The coining of this huge industrial plant cannot help but be of great advantage to St. Johns. Located as it will be almost directly opposite our city it will furnish remunera tive employment to many of our citizens, and for many more yet to come. Business Alen, Take Notice!

Better reserve your space at once as we have but a limited amount yet to dispose of. Remember this fact and act accordingly. A very pretty wedding occurred at the M. K. church Saturday even ing when P. T. Glenn and Miss Marian Mngoue weie united in marriage by Rev. I I.. Young, of that church. 1 lie interior ot the cliurcli was beautifully tlecorated with roses nud other flowers, and a love'y arch of bridal wreath under which the ceremony wns performed. The bride and groom wore the favorite colors, white and black, ami the ceremony wns very impressive. '1 he happy pair returned to the home of the bride's parents in North St. Johns where n most tie licious wedding supier was partnk en of by the immediate relatives aud close friends of the contracting parties, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn have taken up their abode in Sellwood where Mr, Glenn is employed in the wool len mill. DEATH RECORD Loved Ones Who Have Sub cumhed to Grim Reaper. PACKING PLANT Will Employ 3,000 Men When in Full Blast The new million dollar plant be ing put in on the peninsula by Swift & Co., packers, and which s to be oieratcd under the name of the Union Meat Co., will be of great interest to St. Johns, for there will be 3000 employes engaged at work there when fully estab lished, aud many of these men will naturally make their homes in St. Johns. It is exacted that the plant will be in operation within 18 mouths. work was begun some two weeks ago and will be crowded to comple tion as rapidly as possible. Swift & Co, will concentrate all their holdings in this .plant aud their yards at North Portland will be abandoned as will the slaughtering pens at Troutdale. The otwratives at these places will remove to the new location aud such others added as the business requires. The New Ferry. An excellent cut of the new ferry about to be launched by the St. Johns Perry Co. appeared in last Suuday's Journal. The installa tion of the new ferry will le of great benefit to St. Johns. Many farmers residing in the fertile valley just west of Whitwood Court will be glad of the opportunity now presented of bringing their produce to the St. Johns markets instead of being compelled to make the long Haul to Portland, as lias heretofore been the case. It will also greatly facilitate travel between the two shores. The coming of the new ferry will be gratifying to all. Since the above was in type the ferry has been launched. KICIIAItl).

Geo. M. Hall, our city , treasurer, after a lapse of 17 years took this occasion to visit the home of his childhood aud meet so many of his relatives, some of whom he had never seen. 'I here were 35 or more from the outside in attend ance. The feature of the occasion was the presence of Albert Hall, the only living representative of the original family which was founded by Asa Hall in 1834, Mr. Hull, though 92 years ot age, was hnlc and rugged and greatly enjoyed the spirit of the occasion. The old ; home ot the Hall lainlly is now. owned by a grandson of the found-1 er, Levi S.
