glory and was grateful to the other
towns of Multnomah county for
participating in her fair. The
showing of live stock, vegetables
and fruit was very fine; there was
a great variety of entertainment;
thousands from Portland were in
attendance. The enterprise was a
success and will be repeated on a
larger scale next year.
I
Saturday niiriil ucloncr 12m n
bunch of boys went to a Canby sa
loon and boo.ed up extensively.
The consequence is that one of the
lads is dead from the effects of the
drinking and it has aroused the
citizens to such an extent that the
saloonkeeper is likely to get a part
of what is coining to him. Our
laws do not provide a sufficient
tKMialty for selling Honor to boys.
It is bad enough to sell it to drunk
en men, but to get the foolish boys
into a saloon anil nil them up with
the poison should be crime enough
to make it n life sentence on the
rock pile.

City Hecorder.
We already have our big saw mills, our planing mills, our immense woolen factory, large
flouring mills, shipyards, dry dock, machine shops and a host of miscellaneous factories, making St.
Johns the busiest city iu the West, and now comes
THE ST. JOHNS' GAS, LIGHT AND HEAT CO.
Dristling with energy, enterprising to a dot, and overflowing with determination, to augment our list
of urgent necessities by the construction of
A Thoroughly Up-to-date Gas Plant
Which will supply our homes, stores, offices, factories and other places of business with that most
desirable and safe illuminaut, and it will not be long until our housewives will cook with Gas, our
homes will be lighted with Gas, Gas will furnish the necessary fuel for the ojcrntioti of much of the
machinery of the city, and the coal bin and wood pile will be consigned to a much merited and in
glorious oblivion. It will be n glad day for St. Johns when this hour comes. All over the country
Gas is being employed iu ever increasing quantities, the mechanical genius of man having invented
so many uses for the commodity that the expansion of its manufacture is growing beyond all compre
hension. I'or example, iu our neighboring city of Portland there are numerous districts fairly cry
ing to the Portland Gas company to "Come over and help us" by extension of its mains and pipes to
the city's homes, that its Gas might supplant the exorbitantly expensive cord wood and coal now iu
use. When our coplc have enjoyed the luxury of this Inexpensive light and heat producer for a
season, we shall hear the same cry here. Our local company wilt be importuned on every hand to
hurry its service to all sections of the city, so that even those in the remotest quarter may participate
iu the advantages to be derived from the use ot this
Cheap, Clean, Labor Saving Heat and Light Production
"Of nil the discoveries which make for genuine comfort and convenience," says a well known
writer, "it is doubtful if a single one (Gas) has won so intimate a relation to the domestic economy
of civili.ed nations, It plays n most important part iu city life. It not only lights the homes, offices,
stores and streets, but warms the chilly comers, cooks the meals, provides cheap, convenient owcr;
it heats the bath and furnishes a cheerful, glowing fire all at the mere touch of a match." The in
ventor was told that he "couldn't light Loudon with smoke," but he was not discouraged, and today
the bcnfiec.Micc of his genius is felt in all civili.ed communities Iu fact Gas is ns staple ns coal,
wood or oil, and, best of all, the cheaper other fuels become, the more cheaply can Gas be produced,
so that no matter how sjieedily prices of wood, coal or oil scamper down grade, the cost of Gas pro
duction will be found galloping headlong far away iu the lead of them.
(Ins Bonds, Therefore, Next Only to Gold, arc the Best Securities on Earth.
"Ilonds and Mortgages," New York's great financial publication, recognized by money lend
ets as authority on all classes of securities, says of Gas stocks and bonds:
"Of H77 gas companies having five hundred and seventy-five million dollars of stocks and
bonds issued, less than one cr cent were in default of the payment of any interest, n record justify
ing no little pride. When electricity came to be a factor as n lighting owcr, the doom of gas was
many times picdictcd, and for a while such securities were correspondingly depressed, but it was not
of long duration. It develoK.'d that the use of electricity actually increased the consumption of gas,
because of the demand for better lighted buildings. Gas securities have therefore become to be rec
ognized as most staple, iiud are favored by many careful investors."
$15,000 of the St. Johns Gas Light and Heat Company's Bonds
arc now offered for Subscription to the Public of St. Johns.
These bonds run for 20 years, draw 6 kt cent Interest nod are payable, principal and interest,
iu United States Gold Coin, interest payable semi-annually. The bonds will be Issued Iu multiples
of taxi each, and of this first subscription 100 IN STOCK WIM, H ISSUHI) l'KKlt WITH
KVKUV $100 HON I), therefoie, even when the bonds have been paid off and retired, the purchaser
will still have his stock, which will continue its dividends throughout all time to come, 'litis stock
will not die with the expiration of the bonds. It will live on and on till the crack of doom, and in
creasing iu value with every additional building erected in the city.
Our Gas Franchise is for 25 Years.
It has been granted upon very favorable conditions, and as the city is bound to continue its
uma.liig growth, so wilt the business of the Gas company continue to expand until its stock divi
dends touch mi altitude (hat wilt more than satisfy the most craving of its owners.
Never Wits There a Brighter Prospect Than That of St. Johns.
So far as imputation is concerned, the city is iu its swaddling garments n mere babe In arms
uotwitlistnuillug it lias grown irom a village ol 400 to a city 01 4000 willilu tlic last llirec years.
Phenomenal ns has been its expulsion in the past, it will be even more astonishing iu the future.
All our H-ople are familiar with the transformations constantly taking place. The one private and
two new National banks just entering the field, and the two new saw mills that arc coming into ex
istence, the large packing houses soon to be iu oH.'ratiou, the numerous sites secured uud inquiries
for others for factory puiMses, are matters ot general knowledge. That our water front is the most
spacious, and our shipping facilities the best as well ns the least cxeusive, is not controverted by
any one. That St. Johns will manufacture 11 greater variety of wooden products than any other city
on the coast, those of the keenest crccptihilitic.s readily concede. That our city will crowd the jkh
insula fiom liver to liver is beyond the pale of doubt, and that the ST. JOHNS GAS LIGHT AND
11KAT COMPANY'S piojierty will incubate into the arena of the wealthy corporations will not bear
disputation, and
These Bonds are Secured by livery Dollars' Wortli of Property it Con
trols or Will Control When it Begins Operations.
They will be 11 fust claim upon its real estate, its buildings, its franchise mid all and singular
its properties of eveiy kind and deseiiption, so that for absolute security there can be no safer jwper
anywhere on earth. Having personal iuteiests iu St. Johns, and being keenly interested in her wel
fare and citizens, we offer these bonds to our home people now, so that the profits may come into the
pockets of those we .shall have ns our icriuaiieut patrons and not to others iu whom we are not at all
concerned. As a matter of fact, we have both n selfish and n friendly purpose iu thus placing these
bonds 011 sale iu this community. Selfish, because we want to pay our dividends to those who, from
this business relation, will become interested iu their home enterprise mid so familiar with its business
methods that they will remember it iu kindly conversation with their neighbors, and a friendly inter
est, because St. Johns has been so kind to us that we feel grateful for the goodness of her people,
and desite to aid them iu every way one friend can aid another.
OUR PROPERTY IN ST. JOHNS.
We own 100x150 feet on the railroad track, nnd only 200 feet from the river dock. Our
buildings will be erected on this tract, so that fuel oil may be pumped into our tanks ut little cost.
This is now the chcaic.sl fuel to be had on this market.
Our building, 100x100 feet, two stories and of galvanized iron, fireproof and modern, present
able to the eye and in keeping with its surroundings, is fashioned after the latest designs and will ac
commodate the business for many years. It is not likely it will be necessary to add to it uutil St.
Johns population has passed the 50,000 mark.
The cost of our plant is estimated at $70,000. It may go n trifle aliove that figure, on account
of the tapid expansion of the city.
From the start we will be able to make 7000 cubic feet of Gas per hour, nnd our storage tanks
will have a cijucity of 30.000 cubic feet.
It is believed that, measured by dollars, our franchise is a valuable asset, and that when com
pleted the works will leadily sell for at least 120,000. Such is the present security for the 1 15,000
of bonds we are now offering the people of St. Johns for public subscription.
Our Gas making machinery will be of the very latest design and perfection of Its kind. It
will be csecially adapted to the consumption of California oil, which is of extreme significance, from
nu economical statuloiut. It means larger dividends than could otherwise be had.
Messrs. Hiuuions & Hmuions, the eminent lawyers, nre responsible for the legality of our
bonds, and the city ordinance upon which they stand has passed the strictest scrutiny of the city at-
2 toruey of St. Johns. There is, therefore, no question of the legality of either the bonds or ordinance
0 under which the franchise was obtained,

5 Remember, every buyer of n 100 bond gets $100 worth of stock as a present from the com-
T patiy. This affords 0 eretual income from the dividends, even after the bonds have been paid off
and retired. The bonds are issued in fractions of $ioo each, and may be secured at either the Bank
