FRIDAY, NOVKMUliR t, 1907. The Oregon state dairy nssocin tioii will hold its annual session In Portland Thursday and Friday, December 12th and 13th instead of the 1 9 tit and 20th. This change assures sonic of the ablest o tinkers in tlie United States. r Wc learn that I.inntou people who have just voted on the fines tion of incorporating fell short of the necessary number of votes to accomplish this desirable object. This means our little nclglinor on the west bank will have to do some more missionary work and get their good people in line for improve- meiit and nrouress. They will do it. too. for they are the rinht kind of people over thete and a little turn down like this will only en courage them to greater efforts. Wc wish them better success next time and hope their people will sec the benefit of united. tcrsislcut effort for the advancement of their busy little burg. Wc wish to call the attention of our renders to the school report in this issue. We regret that the re- port does not show a greater mini her of parents visiting the schools. We know that our people are inter ested in the schools, but the in structors are often discouraged by a seeming lack of interest 011 the part of the parents because they do not visit the schools and become acquainted with the methods usci: the work being done and advance iiicm made iy tile pupils. We are proud of this record, for the first mouth and know that futuie mouths will show tin improvement, although these reports are above the icgulai HOW TO KHJy YOUR TOWN Kick, keep kicking, and don't quit kicking. One pull one way, one pull t'other. Go to other towns to buy your goods. De nounce your merchants because they make a profit on their goods. Knife ev.ry man that disagrees with you on the method of increasing business. Make your own town out a very bad place and stab it every chance you get. Refuse to unite in any scheme for the betterment of the material inter ests of the people. Tell your mer chant that you can buy your goods a great deal cheaper in another town and charge 'hint with extor tion. Keep every cent you get and don't do anything of a public nature unless you can make something of it directly. When you say any thing of your town say it in such a way that it will leave the impression that you have no faith in it. Pat ronize outside newspapers to the exclusion of your own and dc notiuce them for not being as large as the city papers. Hx. This may be true of some towns, but it will not kill St. Johns. All of these things have, and arc being done in St. Johns by some mis guided citizens, but St. Johns keeps right on in the middle of the road to future irreatness. 1 here is 110 more prosperous or enterprising city of its size on the coast. The next two or three years will make such an advance in the industries and commerce of the city that those leaviuir here now will not be able to recognize the place when they return then. Our enterprising merchants arc delivering the goods regardless of the cry of the calamity howler, at prices as low as any other city in touch with our coplc, and he who is so foolish as to trade elsewhere will be out his time and car fare. Hut do not disturb the kickers, they arc doing good by waking up some of the sleepyheads ami causing tliein to sit up and take notice. Then, if you are one of the (lis gruutled lot, one of the Mainline gastronomic sufferers, take n reef In your calamity rigging, swing over 011 the other track before you are rim down by the progress of our little city, and bear it hand lu steering her to yet more proscrous and progressive waters Uy so Five millions in gold coin coming I to the coast at fast mail speed is an instance of Uncle Sam's method of providing for his kids by the big waters.

The St. Johns Gas Light and Heat company has issued n neat mid tasty prospectus filled with val uable information in regard to this city. In looking It over wc noticed two little errors. It advertises the fact that thc city "supports a live newspaper, Thc" News," but the only publication wc have seen so far is the Review. Possibly they nrc foreshadowing a competitor in the field and if so, common courtesy would have also mentioned our paper, we therefore charitably give them the credit for the first error.

The fact that the bank clearings of l'oit luud last week reached $,501,303 as ngniust I5,y3.-M7 l'M ywr i i indication of the healthy state of finances heie. It docs not take an octogenarian to hark back to the time when Wall street ruled the finances of this country when a hint from that gambling joint that a financial panic was imminent would cause every capitalist great and small to call in every available dollar they had. That time has passed. Following the cue given tccently by Rocke feller Wall stteet has done every thing in its jniwer to piccipitntc n financial panic similar to that under thc Cleveland regime, but all in vain. While these bulls and lears huve Ikx'H playing hoi.se with lin stock market in New York, the country has been developing and such is the wonderful prosiKirity of our laud that the .scheme has prov en n boomerang ami tne very men who were instrumental in their ef forts to down the country have had to come to the relief of their willing tools to save them from theexticm uy into which tuey were driven 111 their ignorance of the conditions of the people of the nation. Outside of their own immediate circle scarcely a ripple was felt in the fi uaucial world, ami New York has learned that she is 110 longer the master of the financial situation and that this country can exist nud do business if she nud Wnll street were wiped off the face of the earth, The little flurry causing the closing of the banks of the Northwest for n day or so caused little alarm and little inconvenience and is the ut most of Wall street's efforts, while 25 years ago the same efforts would huve ruined batiks in every city nml town in the laud. Wnll street has lost her grip on the finances of the country. So long as the good Lord gives us ruin and sunshine nud abundant crops we need never i'lic above clipping from the Or egon City ICntcrpri.se in reference to a siiuib which npiK-ured in this pa cr during our absence in the east in connection with nil editorial the same issue of that paer too long to reproduce would intimate that we looked with contempt iim)ii womankind. While it does not matter, and causes us to smile at the spasm from which our brother evidently sulleied at the time, we wish to go 011 tccord as believing that if all the men in the world, in eluding our good brother of the l?n- terprisc, were lined up side by side with all the women in the world before the l.ord Omnipotent to de cide which of the two divisions of the nice were the most honest, lion orable, the tiuest and the liest, the women would carry olT the bun by a latge majority.

We think, as we huve al ready stated, that there was no ne cessity for this extra precautionary move, but the clearing house offi cials perhaps felt justified in taking the steps tney did. there are no safer banking institutions in the na tion than those of ours, nud there are none which have as good back ing anywhere 111 the nation us the banks of the Pacific Northwest; we know this for we have traversed the territory in two different direc- it . 1 i t.. . .1 nous (luring tue past uirce weeks and know what is ichiud us in the way of productions, the source from which the wealth of our banking institutions is derived. to the block in St. Johns than it lakes to supply n vaudeville tor n week.

The only bad feature about the practice is that there is too oft en n class of youths mixed with those who have good horse sense, who think there is 110 fun in any thing unless it injures some person or gives pain to some animal.
