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

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.
