Phono East 0100. FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1907. WHY NOT CUT THIi WliliDS? During our peregrinations about town we notice in some places the finest, rankest, huskiest urowtli of "Hull Thistles" mill other noxious weeds we have seen this side of the Rockies. It is nn old saying among farmers that where weeds thrive well the soil will produce good crops; and we really believe (lowers would look .much more attractive than the weeds. In some cities we have known the city fathers put up a joke on the projierly holders by passing an ordinance requiring them to cut these iiusiifhtlv weeds and remove them from the streets. One can hardly imagine the difference in the appearance of the city such a little thing will make. We believe the citizens of St. Johns would take kindly to such un ordinance, and a lame number of them would also take pleasure in putting clover, blueurnss and llowent in place of the weeds. It would not require a groat (tail of work; it would en haiice the beauty an hundred fold and greatly increase the selling nr ce of nronerlv thus treated, l ins is simply a suggestion to our city council. It is said that the very polite lady barbers who are being turned out at a rapid rate at the totiftorial schools now use a knife and fork in cutting hair. The recent lire at (.leu wood is a strikiui! illustration of paying for fire protection and not getting it Those very few who are in favor of iiuiliiu: St. Johns with Portland should make a note of this. A woman in tNisteru Oiegon has just shot her husband for sti iking her. If a few more women atoiiud thu country could get up enough nui ve to do thin there would be 110 fuither use for the whipping post Cniueuic should make haute and send her a hero medal without delay.

JOHNS Ground Purchased for Immense Industrial Plant Adjoining the Alcohol Plant The most imoortant real estate deal that has been consummated this neck o woods for several months was closed Thursday evening when John Watt of this city, through his agent, Dr. Watt of Portland, transfer the owners hi) ol a tract ol lH acres 01 lanu lying oetwecu Linnton and the turpentine plant just completed on the west bank of th river to the Columbia I'.ngnieeriiig Works now occupying a uiock i ground on Johnson and loth streets, Portland, the price being 140,0c spot cash.

There is hardly a more suitable or sightly location along the water front for such an institution.

A wedding of more than ordinary interest was consummated in new city hall Thursday, July 1007. when John Hendricks nut Miss Harriet Comello of McKenna avenue, Portsmouth, were united in ninrriaue by his honor, Justice A M. lisson, in the presence of a few of the friends of the contracting names. Mr. Hendricks came from th Netherlands to America about tw years auo, stopped for a time Michigan and then came to St Johns, where he has been in the employ of the Peninsula lumber company. He is an industrious and frugal young man, and has bnuiiht a lot mid built a home for his handsome bride. Mrs. Hen d ricks came from tile Netherlands only a few weeks since, the young people having done the major por Km of tueir courtiui; in me la therlaud. Another feature of Interest in th occasion is that it is the first mar riiiuc solemnized in the new hall also the first time our popular city recotder has tied the knot for better or worse of two loving hearts. In this case we are sure the young jieople have been started on n pros ncrous and happy wedded lile. uu eeiilal recorder rose to thu occasion and with all the dignity of a chief justice or highest dignitary of the church, mid in it most impressive manner, presented to the happy pair, who could not understand word that was said, the importance of the step they weru taking, the hindliitr nature of the contract nave lliem some most wiioiesomu advice in a kind, fatherly manner, mil then, in putting on the finishing touches, lie called the power am liguity of the city of St. Johns and the sovereign statu of Oregon to at test his authority in pronouncing them husband and wife. The mayor of the city and the scribe weiv honored wiih the title of wit ueftsc 011 the marriage cerlllicate and all bauds joined in hearty con gratiilatious. Thu loving pair went at once to their home in Portsmouth where they will receive the con gratiilatious of their friends.
