He will not le able to be around for a few weeks as it was his spine that seemed to be injured most. A small fire occurred at Ports mouth, Friday night at the pool room. Mr. Glass happened near there and saw it and he and his brother, Roy Gluss, broke into the window and put it out. Their store is in the same building, but no damage was done to it. Oregon Fern. J. K. Kirk and family returned from their visit in the east last Friday. Mr. Kirk reports a good visit to his old home and like all other Oregouians was glad to get back to his new home again. Mr. Gregory, the last member of the bunch, who were arrested for gambling, recently returned and pungled up his contribution to the city funds on turkey day. The city should feel real thankful to have the gentlemau do the hand some thing iu this way. Mr. Beach, formerly of Hood River, now with the Oregon City Paper company, was iu the city Monday and stopped with us a minute while waiting for a car. He will have charge of some work for that company near the dry dock and will be here frequently. "Uncracked Nuts," or "Infidel ity up against it" will be the sub ject on next Sunday evening at the Evangelical church. The sermon will be prefixed with remarks on the subject "Who runs St. Johus?"

We wish him the best of success. We formerly knew Mr. Buechler in Grand Island, Neb., and will be glad to welcome him here.

Dabncy of Hood River was a visitor in the city today on his return from a two week's trip to California, and made this office a short visit. G. Ward has so far recovered that he has returned from the hos pital and, with Mrs. Ward, is spending a week with relatives iu Oregon City. Henry Odcll of Prlucvillc, Ore., was in the city last week and spent Thanksgiving as the guest of his sister, Mrs. J. H. Crook, return- tig home last Friday. Hd L.

The Home phone company no tified the city council last week that they were unable to meet the terms of their fruuehise at present because of their funds being tied up iu one ot the suspended banks iu Portland. It is hotied their affairs may be straightened out in time to make connections, and that the city council will extend their time for beginning operations. The Fraternal Brotherhood will hold election of officers next Friday evening December 6, and all mem bers are requested to be present. One week later, December 5, they will give a dunce in their hall, and then you couldn't keep them away with a clul). We arc judging them by ourselves. We always want to be with the bunch when they have something good. The citizens on Newport street have been doing some splendid work. They have grubbed out the stumps and bushes between Port land boulevard and the car track, and made a fine road of it. The enterprising citizens were tillable to get the assistance they wished from the council, so took the matter iu thier own hands, and put up the "dough" and did the work them selves. One thing that was noticed at the trial of the jag shop crowd was that Clark Moore testified on the wituess stand that he was but 19 years of age. It seems to us that minors are forbidden to loaf in such places. Suppose it is hard to tell just how old a young man is, though, without looking at his teeth. Our police, however, might be able to establish the age of some of them by lookiug iu the big book iu their homes. One of the merchants seut his uew clerk "Ole" out to collect some bills, says an exchange, and when he came iu the following con versation took place: "Well, Ole, what luck?" "0, purty gude." "Did you get any money?" "No, but Pederson, he say, veil he sell his hog he pay yon." "That's all Tight, he's good." "Den, Yon Yonsou he say veil he kill his cow and sell de meat den he pay you. "That's good, Johnson is all o. k." "Den Mr. Youes, he say he pay you in Yanuary." "Sure he said in January?" "Veil, he say it be a dam cold day yen he pay you, I tink it be in Yanuary."

The Commercial club, among other things done at its last session, drew up a petition and circulated the same, requesting the council to immediately revoke the license of L. Richards, because of his recent conduct at his place of business, The trial of Richards, and the woman in the case, for keeping a disorderly house, which occurred Wednesday resulted in L. Richards receiving the full limit of the law, $100 fine and 50 days in the county jail, and in default of the fine one day iu jail for each $2 of said fine. The woman, Belle Anderson, was fined $10. When the judge rend ered the verdict, the citizens pres ent to the number of about 100 or more, so far forgot the dignity ot the court that they made a demon stration of their feelings by stamp ing their feet, clapping their hands and yelling "good."
