Hand Boys Ball at Bickner's Hall Saturday night. Big time. Come. Dey & Hainpson have moved their law office to rooms 14-15 Stinc Building. Timothy Browuhill, editor of the Beaver State Herald, was a bust ness visitor at this office yesterday. A neatly printed, beautifully illus fated pamphlet advertising the Portland Railway, Light & Power company was received at this office Tuesday of this week. It was printed by the Irwin-Hodson Co., Portland and is a fine specimen of the art preservative. Mrs. Sarah Smith, formerly of Gilmati, la., now of Los Angeles, on her way back to the old home in the llawkcyc state to settle up her estates there, stopped from I'riday over Sunday with her old friends, Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Wil Hams. Richard Hart of Lexington, Ky., brother of W. L. Godsey, our vil lagc blacksmith, arrived this week and is making his home with Mr. Godsey. He says St. Johns looks good to him. Wc hope he may conclude to stop here and grow up with the country. Tom Brink, a brother of J. K Brink, did some fancy skating at the rink Friday night. There are some very fine local skaters in St Johns. If properly conducted there is no more graceful or healthful exercise known than skating, but there is the rub, to conduct and control the skaters. There is one variety of fruit which has not been mentioned that grows to perfection here, and that is plums. There is on the corner of Tacoma and Ivauhoc a plum which for beauty and richness is rarely surpassed. City Attorney Greene has also on his lot near the foot of I'esseiidcn street some plums which "can t be beat anywhere. The prize for the homeliest man at the skating rink was won, not by Lester Brink, as we were in formed, but by Captain J. K. Brink. We were not present and not well enough acquainted with these handsome gentlemen to know intu itively which one would be entitled to the distinction. We certainly did not wish to rob any one ol the honor, or we might have claimed it ourself. Our merchants did the nice thing this week. There were two loads of vegetables came over from the Tualitan valley this week mid the boys flocked around the wagons like blackbirds, and the farmers got rid of their wares so quickly it made their hair curl. Unit s the stuff. If that kind of work is kept up we shall secure all that trade and it is worth going after. The latest addition to the dis ciples of the great Walton are IS. II. llolcoinl) and II. A. smith, who went "fishin' " 011 the 10th and captured 100 big-mouth black bass. 1 his is a sort of prize puzzle to us, for they say birds of a feather flock together. We are acquainted with Mr. Ilolcomb and his mouth is not abnormally large; not being ac quainted with Mr. Smith, of course he will pardon the inference. Any way they got a good string, or they have been stringing us. Too bad the baud did not find a suitable location in the city hall. I he boys are good workers, have invested something over I100 each in their instruments, and are suc ceeding under very adverse circum stances in twisting some good music out of their wind jammers. If the big chiefs think their wig wain too exclusive, and perhaps tliey are rlglit, we believe our enter- prising citizens should at least pay the rent of a suitable hall for the boys. Who will start the ball roll ing? Frank Lund and Miss Minnie Lund, the nephew and niece of Mr. and Mrs. Rood, who have been stopping at their home for the past three weeks, left Tuesday evening for St. Paul. They were delegates to the C. K. convention at Seattle, and thought they would visit their relafives at the same time. In their estimation to cot pare Seattle with Portland is like comparing night with day. Their visit was a delightful one, and it is the hope of their relatives that St. Johns may be their future home. We wish to call special attention to the advertisement of II. G. Ogden, where he has placed a lot on the market at its cash value and proposes to reduce the price $10 pr day for four weeks unless sold before the end of that period. Here is an opportunity to secure one of the best pieces of property in St. Johns at a reasonable figure. Of course it will go to the first one to put up the money, and it will not pay to wait too long, so as to get it at the last cud of the race, or someone will snap it up ahead of you. Fortune-Foster Nuptials. There was a very quiet wedding consummated at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Test on South Polk street Wednesday even ing when Lee Fortune was united in marriage with Miss Inez Foster, a sister of Mrs. Test. Rev. F. L. Young officiated, and the 'ceremony was performed in the presence of but a few immediate relatives of the contracting parties. A deli cious lunch was served. The very best wishes of their mauy friends, including The Review, is hereby transmitted to them. Mrs. J. C. Scott has been visit ing in Salem for some weeks. Rev. Fred Warren, formerly Congregational minister here, was in the city. The W. 0. W. car will leave St. Johns on their excursion at 8 p. m. August 23. A jolly time is antici patcd. Mrs. T. E. FlUsimmons of Pres cott. Ariz., is visiting her father, A. Unger, and will remain some weeks. Mrs. Stcunaut attended a reunion of old time friends at the home of Mrs. Kcsling on McKenna avenue last Thursday. Miss Mollic LcGard. a former resident of St. Johns, but now of South Dakota, is visiting her many friends in our city. Theodore Linkcy and two chil dren arrived last week from Mobile, Ala. , to join his wife and another child. The family will make their home here. "The Living Sacrifice," Sunday morning at Kvaiigclical church. Union services at night in Baptist church. All invited. Chester P. Gates, pastor. J. M. Mciklejohn has secured the contract for the erection of 0 resi dence for K. L. Stockton at Whit wood Court, and will begin work as soon ns possible. Born To Mr. and Mrs. Will Foster, in St. Johns, Wednesday morning, an &l4 pound boy. This will make another good soldier to keep off the Japs. Here is hoping he may become a major general The St. Johns Pioneer association met in the public library Wednes day and completed the arrange ments for the first annual celebra tion, which will be held August 28. More will be said concerning it next week. J. Ii. Williams was a visitor with a party at Mount Hood last week and describes the trip as something beyond description. The party went by rail to Hood River and by the auto route from there to Cloud Cap Inn and return. It is reported that the section foremen between Roseburg and Sa lem are to have their salaries raised from S60 to 570 per mouth. It is time now to look for an earthquake when brother lid raises the salaries of his men without the trouble of a strike. N. Datidurnud has sold his resi dence in North St. Johns mid movkd to a ranch at North Vain- kill. Realizing the fact that there is nothing equal to St. Johns prop erty, before leaving he purchased another lot in Holhrook's addition for future use. K. S. Allen, n prominent attor ney of Lovelaud, Colo., was in St. Johns Sunday, and 011 Tuesday he and his wife visited the family of W. L. Thorndyke. They are mak ing their first tour of the coast and are very favorably impressed with the appearance of our little city. The Baptist people will use their new church building for the first time Sunday morning and evening. The evening service will be a union meeting where it is expected all the churches in St. Johns will join in an informal meeting, Rev. R. J. Johnson of the Christian church will deliver the address. Miss Mclla Oliuger of Hood River, who has been spending her summer vacation in the vally was visiting her uncle, M. r. Loy, the brick man. Miss Oliuger likes St. Johns and saves while Hood River is a lovely place tolive.tliere arc al so others, and of course, we would not dispute with a pretty girl, espec ially when we think she is right. Mrs. Libbie U. Dowdeu and daughter, Miss Lcoua, of Prairie City, la., who have been making an extensive tour of the coast sent Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. Dowdeu' s sister, our little diaper- one. Airs, uowiicu expects to start for her home in the land of corn and pigs today and will spend a day at Hood River to see where they make apples. The St. Johns Lumber company starts in a night shift next Monday night and will employ from 90 to 100 more men than heretofore. This is business, and if there are any men here who need employ ment this will be a good opportun ity. It is the kind of enterprises we wish to welcome to bt. Johns. those that give employment to large numbers of men; for there is nothing that makes more for the prosperity of a city than a large number of good, steady, reliable, honest laborers. They are the backbone of our government, mu nicipal, state and national. We wish to call the attention of our readers to the new firm of Strain & Adams who have opened up a stock of ladles' white goods at 120 Philadelphia street. Ordi narily, we do not favor boosting transient people, but these gentle men inform us they wish for a loca tion to stay here permanently and if they find it profitable will do so. This being the case, we certainly wish them the best of success, for there is room for them here, and they seem to be hustling young fellows, and are just fairly giving away some of their goods. We hope they will be able to find a suitable location and remaiu with with us permanently. Wanted. Good wages, apply at once THE BARGAIN COUNTER An Interesting Column For Prospective Buyers.
